Now pushing into new territory: (fan)mixes. Watch out, world.
The idea is that there's a song for each member of the family, as I love them all so very much.
1. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Me and Mia (Michael)
Fighting for the smallest goal / to get a little self-contol / I know how hard you try / I see it in your eyes
You all know how hard Michael tries to do the right thing and be the voice of sanity in his family; it really makes you go, Awwww.
2. The Hopefuls - Motobike (GOB)
And it breaks my girl's heart / Every time I crash my motobike / But I'll never slow down
Replace 'motobike' with 'segway', and you've a song that is so completely GOB.
3. The Runaways - School Days (Maeby)
Never made the honor roll / Hated rules what I was told / Now I am almost free / It's a dangerous scene when you're eighteen
The wild spirit of the family. She's going to rule the world one day, just watch.
4. Ladytron - Playgirl (Lindsey)
Northern lights catch you coming down / Sleep your way out of your hometown
There's also a mention of a calendar in this song. Hee!
5. Walking Concert - What's Your New Thing (Buster)
So close we could overdose I suppose / Three-legged races, step on your toes / It's your life and you can do what you want / What's your new thing?
It just reminds me of his childish ways and how he had studied so many things before the family got itself into hot water.
6. The National - All the Wine (Lucille)
I'm put together beautifully / Big wet bottle in my fist, big wet rose in my teeth
She always does look well-put together, and with a drink in hand as well. Booyah!
7. Jimmy Eat World - The Middle (George Michael)
Live right now, just be yourself / It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else
George Michael, the sweetest, yet terribly insecure teenager there ever lived. <3
8. Elliott Smith - Division Day (Tobias)
There was grown man dying from fright / So surprised by the things he'd say / With a giant fantasy life / Running 'round on feet of clay
His idealism and naivete is really astounding despite the fact that he never really catches a break.
9. The Bens - Xfire (George, Sr.)
The possibilities are endless / I can do almost anything / And the impossibilities are beginning-less / And meaningless
All of his brilliant ideas seem to backfire on him. Anyone recall the hot tub and Bag-N-Boil meals?
