day 14 - a song that no one would expect you to love
The problem with this one is that I tend to listen to almost every single musical genre, so it's kinda hard to think of something that would surprise people. I did get a raised eyebrow from a friend when I bought an Enrique Iglesias album, but that friend was unaware of my love for ridiculous Latin pop.
However, I think I nailed it with this one: ( Read more... ) -
day 13 - a song that is a guilty pleasure
"Santa Fe" sung by Christian Bale from the film Newsies
Newsies itself is the guilty pleasure, but "Santa Fe" is my favorite song. I should probably level with you that I'm a sucker for musicals and especially anything Alan Menken does. So even though as a New Yorker I should cringe when any character opens his mouth and starts talking in an ( Read more... ) -
day 12 - a song from a band you hate
"How You Remind Me" - NickelbackOf all the bands I could have picked to fill this one, I think Nickelback is the least controversial choice. (If anyone wants to know who the other candidates were, please let me know ( Read more... ) -
day 11 - a song from your favorite band
Well, I was going to pick "Electrolite" because I love that song and it closes my favorite R.E.M. album, but then I saw the video and I remembered how utterly horrifying it was. I can't in good conscience link that for people. It's frightening and distracts from all the goodness of the song while underlining the fact that Michael Stipe can't lip ( Read more... ) -
day 10 - a song that makes you fall asleep
Minus One - No Knife
I was just about to use this one to highlight the fact that I can fall asleep to anything that I know by using Supersonic by Bad Religion as an example of the sort of songs I would play when going to bed, but then I remembered this song and how much I love it and how damn drowsy it makes me ( Read more... ) -
so yeah...
This weekend was a mixed bag of sheer joy and utter horror.
The joy comes from:
* the absolute perfection that is Captain America: The First Avenger. Chris Evans was Steve Rogers. It was so true to Cap while being a solid film with no downtime. I need to go see this a few more times ( Read more... ) -
now leaving the town of Lud
"What are you going to do now?"
"I'm going to go ride Blaine!"
Okay, now that the gratuitous Dark Tower reference is out of the way I would like to announce that I have joined the 21st century - I now own a smart phone. Specifically, a Motorola Droid 3To be fair, I've been toying with the idea of getting a Droid since the first one was released ( Read more... ) -
day 09 - a song that you can dance to
"Raise Your Glass" - P!nk
I like P!nk and this is my favorite must get up and dance song of the moment. -
day 06 - a song that reminds you of somewhere
This is another two-fer, however I don't think I should get penalized for it since both are by the same band.
"Long December" - Counting Crows
When I was living in California I only had one Counting Crows album on my iPod (oh the horror!) which was the 2003 best of album Films About Ghosts and I ended up listening to it almost every day while ( Read more... )
