As would be expected, whole mix of emotions that I cannot put into words - so, to avoid that, here are 18 songs that are my 13 July 2010. Some of them are directly related to going home, others not particularly. They are all songs that I like though (and the usual traits - over-the-top string arrangements, jangly guitars, big choruses - are well-represented). Obviously, these songs can't present everything being thought of today, not without the list being a whole lot longer, and looking for significance in choices is unlikely to be rewarding. At least one of these songs is apocalyptic, one is from a children's picture book, one is ridiculously obvious for anything at least tangentially-related to Brisbane/Queensland (sorry), and others just happen to have keywords in their titles. I hope, if you choose to listen, that you enjoy it! Wherever you may be in the world, hopefully see you soon.<br /><br />Individual links maybe later. <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1336152/13July2010.zip">Huge f-off zip file here (sorry about the size)</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span><br />1. <span style="font-style: italic;">Streets of Your Town</span> - the Go-Betweens<br />2. <span style="font-style: italic;">Final Day</span> - Young Marble Giants<br />3. <span style="font-style: italic;">Tonight I Have to Leave It</span> - Shout Out Louds<br />4. <span style="font-style: italic;">Head Home</span> - Midlake<br />5. <span style="font-style: italic;">East, West &amp; I</span> - Institut Polaire<br />6. <span style="font-style: italic;">I Feel Like Going Home</span> - Yo La Tengo<br />7. <span style="font-style: italic;">Coming Back</span> - Gotye<br />8. <span style="font-style: italic;">It's Gonna Take An Airplane</span> - Destroyer<br />9. <span style="font-style: italic;">That Leaving Feeling</span> - Stuart A.
