Day 11 - A Song You Hate. That’s easy. 45 years ago Brian Wilson wrote a song about a girl named Ronda, then a month later they changed it to the more traditional spelling, giving us the song that has been the bane of my existence for over twenty years, Help Me, Rhonda. Even seeing it written makes me rage. I raged more when I went to Wikipedia and ( Read more... )

Damn, I suck at doing these on time.

Anyway, Day 10 - Favorite classic (over 20 years old) album. Well, I was gonna say Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest, but it won’t be 20 years old until 2013. Boo. So, when in doubt, go with the Beatles.

Day 9 - An artist you thought you would hate, but wound up loving. This one I was a little stumped on because I wondered if it was a roundabout way of asking what my guilty pleasure is, and I don’t really have one.

Day 6 - A song that makes you sad. I didn’t really have a hard time coming up with this one either. There’s something so hopeless sounding in this song.

Day 5 - A song that makes you happy. This and Day 11’s pick were the fastest decisions I made as far as what song to post. I heard this on The Hood Internet one day in '07 and shared it with my bb ree7aan and it became our song. For anyone who’s unfamiliar with THI, what they do is take rap songs and make mash ups with indie tracks. This is Buy You A ( Read more... )

Day 4 - Your favorite song from your favorite artist. There are a few bands that my friends always relate back to me, and the one that’s always mentioned is Radiohead.

Day 3: An album you’ve bought at least three times. That, dear reader, would be Millennium by the Backstreet Boys.

Day 2 - Your current favorite song.

This one is also hard due to my indecisiveness. I don't just have a favorite song, I usually have like eight or ten at a time that are added to my Shit I Can't Stop Listening To playlist. But after some more thought, chocolate cake, and not freaking out, I picked Introducing Palace Players by Mew.
