So the first time in 2011 it’s gorgeous today in New York City: 76F, sunny, low humidity. After scanning my ipod for the right music to listen to on a day like this, I settled on [CSN’s first album](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosby,_Stills_%26_Nash_(album)). It was a good choice. What else fits? ---

I find that [Jesus and Mary Chain’s album Automatic](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00122O312/ref=sr_1_album_1_rd?ie=UTF8&child=B00122JZHY&qid=1300485315&sr=1-1) is great sunny day music. ---

It was a good choice… Just by the way, “Marrakesh Express” is my go-to contentment song. But I really hadn’t sung it all winter. Found myself belting it out yesterday. ---
