Day 11 - A Song From Your Favourite Band

The Saddest Thing I Know - Birds of Tokyo

As I've mentioned before, I really suck at having favourites, but I think Birds of Tokyo is the closest I come to having a favourite band. The Gap is my favourite song off their new album, but I couldn't find a video that gave it justice so I've gone with The Saddest ( Read more... )

Day 10 - A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep

Porcelain - Moby

This song is the ultimate trip. If you lie in the dark and have this song playing loudly your mind will be blown...and then you'll fall asleep.

Day 9 - A Song That You Can Dance To

Rollercoaster - Machine Gun Fellatio

This is the song I was dancing to when the idea for So Much to Learn came into my head. Brilliant old-school song, I can't help but dance to it.

Day 8 - A Song You Know All the Words To

Prisoner of Society - The Living End

Knowing all the words to would pretty much apply to all The Living End songs for me, but in this one I am joined by pretty much the whole of Australia as per below. Awesome song, awesome video, I'm totally pumped now!

Day 7 - A Song that Reminds You of a Certain Event

Nosebleed Section - Hilltop Hoods

There are so many events that link to this song, impromptu sing-a-longs in the car on the way to the shack, finally finding something in common with a friend's new boyfriend, and long drives home in the dark pressing the repeat button. I'm going to make the event the ( Read more... )

Day 6 - A Song that Reminds You of Somewhere

Cecilia - Two Door Cinema Club

A while ago I wrote about going back to the small country town I grew up in and how I was a bit apprehensive about going back. The Friday I went there, Two Door Cinema Club did Triple j's Like A Version and performed Simon and Garfunkel's Cecilia. It was incredibly ( Read more... )

Day 5 - A Song that Reminds You of Someone

iFly - Ball Park Music

I was at a party, there was dancing, friends... and a guy. Brilliant song, good reminding, joy all round. Note that there's a rude word bandied about a bit in this song, but in such a sweet way I can't see how anyone could be offended! Also, if the end doesn't make you smile then there ( Read more... )

Day 4 - A Song That Makes You Sad

Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers

How incredibly melancholy are the opening chords? Seriously, I love this song, but there really is something that makes me feel kind of sad too (perhaps because it was written about loneliness and addiction to drugs!). On a more upbeat note, how pretty is Anthony Kiedis' hair  ( Read more... )

Day 3 - A Song That Makes You Happy

Carry Feelings - South Rakkas Crew

Yay! This song is absolutely my go-to happy song. How could you listen to it and not be happy? This song came on the radio when I was driving back from collecting the keys to the place I live in now. A very good omen indeed!

Righto, I'm off to try and post the second chapter to ( Read more... )

Day 2 - Your Least Favourite Song

Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon

With absolutely no competition, this song takes top spot as the one song designed to make me shriek like a banshee and throw myself towards the off button if it comes on the radio. Kings of Leon have been around for ages, and I was fine with that. I didn't like their stuff particularly, ( Read more... )
