Stole this meme from teh_dirty_robot. I guess you're supposed to do it over 30 days but I don't have the stamina.
Day 01. Your favorite song
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
This could have been a number of things. This one will do quite well.
Day 02. Your least favorite song
Beyonce - Single Ladies
Ugh. Don't get me started.
Day 03. A song that makes you happy
The Cure - Friday I'm in Love
The Cure are a happy band. It's true.
Day 04. A song that makes you sad
The National - About Today
Warning: this live version is incredibly intense.
Day 05. A song that reminds you of someone
Ramones - Judy is a Punk
Basil.
Day 06. A song that reminds you of somewhere
Metric - Gimme Sympathy
Detroit.
Day 07. A song that reminds you of a certain event
Smashing Pumpkins - Galapogos
I played this at my 11th grade talent show, which was the last time I went to my school.
Day 08. A song that you know all the words to
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Learning to Fly
I could have picked from hundreds of songs. I just wanted to post this amazing live version. Please note I was going to pick "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, but I couldn't embed it.
Day 09. A song that you can dance to
Rancid - Ruby Soho
Day 10. A song that makes you fall asleep
Smashing Pumpkins - In the Arms of Sleep
Day 11. A song from your favorite band
The National - Afraid of Everyone
My current favourite band, and you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't watch this video in full.
Day 12. A song from a band you hate
Good Charlotte - Keep Your Hands Off My Girl
It's just too punk for me.
Day 13. A song that is a guilty pleasure
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
Day 14. A song that no one would expect you to love
Outkast - Hey-Ya
The best pop song ever.
Day 15. A song that describes you
Joan Jett - Bad Reputation
I'm badass.
Day 16. A song that you used to love but now hate
Ben Lee - Catch My Disease
I don't really hate this song, but it was my favourite song for a while, and then it was so overplayed I really don't need to ever hear it again.
Day 17. A song that you hear often on the radio
I never listen to the radio. So here's another choice for favourite song.
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
Day 18. A song that you wish you heard on the radio
Against Me! - I Was a Teenage Anarchist
Day 19. A song from your favorite album
The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt
From my current favourite album of the same name.
Day 20. A song that you listen to when you’re angry
Smashing Pumpkins - Fuck You (An Ode to No One)
This isn't really true. I don't have a go-to angry song.
Day 21. A song that you listen to when you’re happy
Flogging Molly - Devil's Dance Floor
Day 22. A song that you listen to when you’re sad
No go-to sad song, either. So here's another favourite that sounds sad.

Jens Lekman - We're All Gonna Die
Day 25. A song that makes you laugh
REM - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight

It's hard to sing and play this one simultaneously.
Day 27. A song that you wish you could play
Led Zeppelin - Bron-Yr-Aur
Day 28. A song that makes you feel guilty
DMX - Stop Being Greedy
Ever since I found out DMX is a piece of shit dog fighter I feel guilty for liking this song. The dog barking doesn't help.
Day 29. A song from your childhood
Phil Collins - Sussudio
My sisters used to listen to this and spin around in our living room until we were dizzy.
Day 30. Your favorite song at this time last year

I danced wildly in the passenger seat of my friend Nick's car when this song came on.
