if you were trapped in a Zach Braff movie, what would the soundtrack be?  you are constrained by a standard burned audio cd, 18-22 songs are as many as fit without making it an mp3 data…

no cheating!

the songs are a mix of ones that have meaningful lyrics that relate to a time period, mattered at the time, represent a story, or more.   this little soundtrack was compiled without the benefit of itunes being open or too much forethought.  catch me on another day and it’s liable to be different.
