jess mariano wanted nothing to do with stars hollow. that was no secret. he had no interest in their school, their biweekly holidays, or the people living there.
he especially had no interest in being trained at his uncle's restaurant by some girl n...

suffragette city - david bowie if you only listen to one song off this list, make it this one. it's a felony that you don't listen to bowie, so i'm giving you the song that got me into his music. do it.
fell in love with a girl - the white stripes good song to motivate you to get up and do shit. it's less than two minutes and i tweaked my neck listening to it once. don't tell anyone.
know your onion! - the shins you can't go wrong with the shins. that's it, that's the note.
big in japan - tom waits this is the most experimental one for you on this list. listen with a grain of salt. tom waits is big in japan. keep that in mind.
dear god - xtc give it a chance, acosta. xtc hasn't ever done anything bad to you.
dance to the underground - radio 4 sounds like a song that should be in a ferris bueller knock off. killer bass in the beginning followed by a great guitar line. i'm acting like i know what i'm talking about. i don't, but i sound like i do, right?
sabotage - beastie boys it's pure rage and beastie boy yelling. really great for scrubbing the shit off the dishes at the end of the night. past experience.
thirteen - big star after beastie boys, you need a cooldown. this song is that cool- down.
hero takes a fall - the bangles the best and only bangles song i can stand.
psycho killer - talking heads again, not a huge talking heads guy, but if you're going to listen to them, this is the song.
pretty in pink - the psychedelic furs don't think less of me for liking a song that was in a ringwald movie, but it's kind of great. a non-depressing song about suicide. can't go wrong.
what a wonderful world - joey ramone a great rock spin on a classic. you're gonna hate me for this one because i know how much you like the original. you'll get over it.

heavy metal drummer - wilco inspired by pavement's 'cut your hair'. i know you're weary of wilco, but you like pavement, so give it a chance.
andante, andante - abba i just heard you roll your eyes. don't you dare skip this one. i'm slowly easing you into abba. get it? andante? slowly? i'm funny.
paper thin walls - modest mouse i found this song when i went to long island two years ago for one of jacob's football tournaments. there was a record store that i stayed in the entire time and they kept playing this song. i'm not always a modest mouse girl, but this one's worth it.
i wanna be sedated - ramones this song makes me feel like i'm julia stiles being pursued by heath ledger. riding with my windows down and running down children who get in my way. maybe not that. i just like the ramones.
love burns - black rebel motorcycle club i saw them live in massachusetts last year. easily one of the best shows i've ever been to. i get depressed every time i hear this song because i think of the concert. not sure why i put this on here now.
karma police - radiohead it's radiohead. you will listen and you will like it.
africa - toto i don't care how much you make fun of this song, it's a classic and you're a bitch if you don't like it.
bright future in sales - fountains of wayne they don't just sing stacy's mom, mariano. if i had a band, this would be the first song we'd learn. it's actually good.
jaqueline - franz ferdinand if you can get past the first forty seconds, you're golden. if you want to talk underrated bands, these guys are the kings.
the weakest shade of blue - pernice brothers you might not be a pop guy, but you'll get over yourself.
where is my mind? - pixies good closing song. slow but has that soft rock feel. you can cry about your miserable existence while refilling the salt shakers. cry bitch, cry.
there is a light that never goes out - the smiths i. love. the. smiths. they don't seem like your speed but i don't give a damn. have fun.

author's note: i hardly ever separate my playlists from my introductions but this one was different. music is so integral to the gilmore girls world and important to this story that i felt that i had to do something special. also this took me for-fucking-ever because i had to choose songs that fit jess and marley individually that came out before 2004, which is difficult with my current music taste. but i happened to find some bops and i'm rambling so i'll stop
but yeah you can find these playlists on my spotify, i'm going to try to find a way to link them, but until then, they're under the playlist names j's and m's on my account @maggiepedone !!
