Main Character Soundtrack

Some of you have expressed interest in the soundtrack I made for the main character of the novel I'm writing. Basically, it's the songs she would be listening to, the songs that are in her head as she moves through the world I'm writing for her. I set these songs as a playlist on my iTunes (love my Mac) and often listen to it while I'm writing. It's a long list, but I'm including it here for those who were curious about what's on it...
