Name this playlist!

I need a cool name for this playlist. It's all relatively jazzy downtempo-y stuff that should do me alright when I'm on a 12-hour plane flight to London in approximately 36 hours. I'm not sure how steady my sister's internet is over there, so I'm sure you'll understand if you don't get your (almost) daily fix from here during the 11 days I'm over there. Anyway, help me name this list. It's 2 hours, 24 minutes and 37 seconds of cool. As always, if you're interested in any of these tracks, send me a shout at bigmaki (at) gmail (dot) com and I'll hook you up with any and all tracks as soon as I get the chance.

1. "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck Quartet
2. "All Blues" by Miles Davis
3. "La Femme d'Argent" by Air
4. "Unravel" by Björk
5. "Black Milk" by Massive Attack
6. "Midnight In A Perfect World" by DJ Shadow
7. "Ponderosa" by Tricky
8. "Trouble From The River" by Quantic
9. "Indra" by Thievery Corporation
10. "Down & To The Left" by Amon Tobin
11. "Go Faster" by Propellerheads
12. "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Barry Adamson
13. "Rodney Yates" by David Holmes
14. "Over" by Portishead
15. "Rabbit In Your Headlights" by U.N.K.L.E.
16. "Changeling" by DJ Shadow
17. "Destination" by Roni Size/Reprazent
18. "Polaris" by Zero 7
19. "Country Livin' (The World I Know)" by Esthero
20. "6 Underground (Nellee Hooper Edit)" by Sneaker Pimps
21. "Run On" by Moby
22. "Restless" by The Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination
23. "Big Sea" by Funki Porcini
24. "La Mer" by Nine Inch Nails
25. "Big Amoeba Sound" by Max & Harvey
26. "The Sea" by Morcheeba
27. "Arcane" by Arc

Yes, I know four of those came from Xen Cuts (disc 2, no less.) I've been listening to it a lot lately, so they got thrown on there. I'm sure all three of the cool people out there realized that. Anyway, give me names, please. The winner will be immortalized on my iPod. This is quite an honor, let me tell you...

You didn't put a limit on entries. Kids are doing a project.

1.) Frankie say RELAX...to this playlist!

2.) It's Maki's down-tempo playlist for mature, sexy adults (this is such and inside joke Maki might not even be in on it)

3.) In case of sexmergency, turn this up yo!

4.) Light the candles, turn down the lights. It's time for tea.

5.) Songs to vibrate to.

6.) Music to Fuck Gently by.

Man, I hope I win.

Wanna know something crazy? My placeholder name was "Maki says RELAX!" Go figure.

I'm starting to think "mile high club" in combination with one of those might work. Maybe the Tenacious D one.

Tenacious D? Jesus, I'm just not working right now.

#6 is the Tenacious D one. You're no tthat original. Sorry.

I swear to Jesus that I just came up with that. I even struggled with using "by" or "to". I have never heard a Tenacious D song.

Ah, just looked it up. There's Fuck Her Gently. I was actually ripping off, sort of, Pete Yorn's Music for the Morning After.

And I am too that original. "My Pusher, The Clown" is way better than "Music to Fuck Gently By." That's plain insulting man. I teach English. You know how much I hate plagarism? Fucking tons. The lowest of the low do that.

Plagiarize? THAT IS WHAT PIECES OF SHIT DO.

Just gotta say, if you can have sex to "Over" followed by "Rabbit In Your Headlights" and not get a little weirded out, you're a more dedicated man than I.

Man, I had sex with this one girl in high school. We were supposed to be studying upstairs. Downstairs, her mom was giving voice lessons in Gospel singing. Imagine trying to be as quiet as possible on the floor while listening to some twelve-year-old croaking her way through "My God is a Great God" accompanied by a terrifically off-tune piano and the mom yelling instructions like, "Reach higher! Take short, deep breaths inbetween verses!"

In conclusion, that's why I should win. Also, no one else has entered yet and you leave for London tomorrow. I love winning stuff. Even if it is by default.
