i'll try and keep up as frequently as possible, and what i'm going to be doing is putting previous days under a cut and having the current day shown.
day 1 - your favorite song
i don't know why, but this song has been in nearly every playlist i've made since i heard it. i'm usually not one for harder stuff, but the combination of the guitar and philip labonte's incredible voice make it something that i can listen to over and over and over again.
day 2 - your least favorite song
i think it kinda goes without saying that these girls are nasty whores who can't sing, can't play instruments, and have absolutely no musical inclination whatsoever. so how did they get a record deal? really, i'd like to know. for extra spoilers, check out their myspace. their "about me" is pretty hilarious. apparently performing on MTV's (read: selling out) last episode of TRL (which is a shitty show to begin with) and writing the theme show for a double shot at love makes you good at music. they define their music as "catchy, fun electro-pop songs made by cute, foul-mouthed girls who are all 21 and under." really? i guess it's appropriate that they did the theme song for tila tequila's show, because she's a dumb slut too. dumb sluts of the world unite!!!
day 3 - a song that makes you happy
this is just such a cute song. it's so upbeat and catchy, and i've always been a pretty big fan of relient k. they're actually really good for a christian band, which is saying something especially for me. the entire "MMHMM" album is actually pretty excellent, but this is by far my favorite track.
day 4 - a song that makes you sad
jay brannan has an incredible voice, and the entire album "In Living Cover" (which this song is on) is all a bit sad. his voice has that quality that manages to make you sad and happy at the same time.
day 5 - a song that reminds you of someone
ryan and i decided that this was "our song." it always makes me think of him, no matter where i am. whenever we're driving together and this song comes on, he always sings it to me. :)
day 6 - a song that reminds you of somewhere
this song will always remind me of driving to el paso with ryan. when my father was sick and had surgery on his stomach to remove a cancerous tumor, ryan and i drove to el paso many times to visit him during his convalescence. every time, this song would play. it always reminds me of the drive down the highway as the sun was setting behind the mountains.
day 7 - a song that reminds you of a certain event
january 23rd, 2010.
day 8 - a song that you know all the words to
i could listen to this song over and over and over again. it's so mellow and yet it's such a powerful song. it's kinda sad, but i know the words to most of the godsmack songs. this is definitely in my top 3 out of all their songs though.
day 9 - a song that you can dance to
i've never really been one for techno, and even though this isn't quite techno, something about the beat of it just makes me want to dance. it's so upbeat and so catchy and just so good in general.
day 10 - a song you can fall asleep to
this song is so calming. if you didn't catch the cooing doves in the beginning of the song, rewind and listen again. the melody is just so soothing and it's a perfect song to relax to at the end of a very long, very hard day.
day 11 - a song from your favorite band
i have to say city & colour is my favorite band - well, person, at least. ever since i heard his music on pandora, i've been absolutely in love with everything that he's done. his music may be "sad," but it always carries a message and it's always beautiful. and if i had to pick one song from city & colour, this is it. it's a sad song, but it also tells a story. everything about his music is wonderful, from the sound to the lyrics to the message.
day 12 - a song from a band you hate
i hate them.
day 13 - a song that is a guilty pleasure
ummmm... no comment...
day 14 - a song that no one would expect you to love
i really, really, really like the andrews sisters. it's definitely way out of the norm of what i listen to, but it's good and it's a classic.
day 15 - a song that describes you
i used to think this song was a very accurate description of me. i used to listen to it all the time, now, not so much. it's a really great soft song, and it's got some good meaning to the lyrics, and i really like the singer's voice.
day 16 - a song that you love but now hate
i really used to like escape the fate, but as i've been getting more into heavier kinds of music i've found i really dislike the way craig's voice sounds. i also really dislike the way ronnie's voice sounded on earlier albums, although i dislike craig's voice a looooot more. it's just a little too.. whiny.
day 17 - a song that you often hear on the radio
i don't listen to the radio very often anymore, but when i used to i remember hearing this song alllllllllll the time. it's not a bad song, i think it just got a little bit overplayed.
day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
the pioneers of primetime tv are a local band that deserves a lot more media attention than they get. last year one of their guitarists, paul, died of a brain aneurysm and they've still continued on making music. they're an incredibly strong group of people who have pushed through a lot of struggle and hardship.
day 19 - a song from your favorite album
i love the whole "carry me home" album by archie star. it's absolutely incredible, the lyrics on all the songs are amazing, the vocals are wonderful, and i could listen to it over and over and over again.
day 20 - a song that you listen to when you're angry
i've liked dream theater for a while, but my love for them really intensified when i saw them live at the pavilion. this song just fits when i'm angry - if you can't take me "as i am" then you shouldn't be able to take me at all, right?
day 21 - a song you listen to when you're happy
this song allllllways makes me think of the summer before my freshman year.
day 22 - a song that you listen to when you're sad
i thought it was a love song before i actually listened to the lyrics. ):
okay i have been so awful at keeping up with this recently.. but i got a BIG BEAUTIFUL COMPUTER WITH A HUGE SCREEN AND OH GOD JIZZ
anyways i'm just gonna do one day for every time i log on so.. this might take me a while but ANYWAYS.
day 23 - a song you want to play at your wedding
oh, timothy.. the things your voice makes me think of.
day 24 - a song you want to play at your funeral
amos lee's voice is just mmm..
day 25 - a song that makes you laugh
how can you not laugh at this?
day 26 - a song you can play on an instrument
i absolutely ADORE this song, and i absolutely adore regina spektor.
day 27 - a song you wish you could play
god do i wish i could play and sing this!!
day 28 - a song that makes you feel guilty
day 29 - a song from your childhood
my mom always played george strait when i was young. :)
day 30 - your favorite song from this time last year
i still love owl city, but i don't listen to them 24/7 like i used to.
END MEME!! :D
