Now that all of the transit kerfuffle is over, I can post the music meme that I had kicking around.
Oh, but before that: two pieces of good news! My dad's vision has returned, and they've put him on a lower dose of rat poison. (That last bit of info is for Siobhan.) And, a more trivial piece of good news: I finished my report cards. Woot.
Now onto the music meme. This is stolen from Aaron. It's simply a playlist of really good last tracks from albums. I had fun thinking of them ('cuz I am such a music nerd), and I came across some oldies but goodies, and some songs I haven't thought about in forever.
Ben Folds Five – Evaporated (Whatever and Ever Amen)
Ben Folds Five – Lullabye (The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner)
Coldplay – Everything’s Not Lost (Parachutes)
Constantines – Do What You Can Do (Kensington Heights)
Damine Rice – Eskimo (O)
Elliott Brood – Miss You Now (Mountain Meadows)
Foo Fighters – New Way Home (The Colour and the Shape)
Foo Fighters – M.I.A. (There is Nothing Left to Lose)
The Get-Up Kids – I’ll Catch You (Something to Write Home About)

Oh, I'm totally thieving this.
Nice. Somewhat related: I learned last night that the singer from Jack's Mannequin was the singer from Something Corporate after I heard them on The Daily Show last night. Late to the party again, but what a story he's led.
I'll have to check some of these songs out as I do love Tori and Damien Rice though I'm not sure if i've heard these particular songs. Thanks!
