My iTunes wishlist today

Guilt, nostalgia, whimsy, worship of the sublime, rolling around and slathering myself in cheesewhiz ... that's probably the best description of everything I feel when I read these. More to come on each individual song. Some may have seen an e-mail from me that says there are 97 entries on the wishlist. That's technically true, because the wishlist in my iTunes contains all five movements of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite and also a bunch of songs from the movie version of RENT and other songs from entire albums that I want to get, which are technically just reminders in my iTunes wishlist, and are therefore not songs I ever intend to purchase individually on iTunes.
