The blogs are alive with the sound of music

Jen tagged me.

So I went through allll the songs on my computer and made a new playlist of the ones I wanted to tell y'all about. It was 2.7 hours long and contained 44 songs. And I was thinking you probably didn't really want to wade through that many songs, even if they were all awesome choices. So I put them into helpful categories for you. What? You wanted less to read, not more? Sorry buddy, you came to the wrong place.

CURRENT FAVS:

Veronica - Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney
Light Surrounding You - Evermore
How To Save A Life - The Fray
I Hear The Bells - Mike Doughty
We Used To Be Friends - Dandy Warhols

Heehee! I can connect three out of five of them to Veronica Mars.

OTHER RECENTISH SONGS:
Forever Young - Youth Group
Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright
Set The Record Straight - Reef
I Knew I Loved You - Savage Garden
Angel Is A Centrefold - J Geils Band
Anything For You - Lee Harding
I Play Chicken - Cowboy Troy
Jericho - Hilary Duff
No Scrubs - TLC
Ordinary Girl - from 'Clueless'
Boys of Summer - DJ Sammy
Save Tonight - Eagle Eye Cherry

I could have done more Savage Garden. If you want...? No? Ok. No Scrubs is in there cos when I was in yr 11 or 12, my best friend and I used to drive around in her aqua-coloured little jeepy thing - I was on the 'passenger side of my best friend's ride'... get it? Don't email me about Hilary Duff.

INSTRUMENTAL:

Baba O'Riley - The Who
Ballade Pour Adeline - Richard Clayderman

They're part of my 'essay-writing' playlist. They make the words flow.

Or 'Old Songs' if you like.

  1. I love Mike Doughty... were you a fan when he was lead in Soul Coughing? I still listen to those old cds all the time. Soul Coughing was awesome.

    I like your other picks, very cool. I like the diversity... and I'm proud of you for admitting that you like Hilary Duff, so I thought I'd admit that I love Kelly Clarkson and purposely left her out of my list because I'm ashamed of my bubblegum-pop-addiction. And I also like those girls from the Disney channel, Aly and AJ. And OK NO MORE.

  2. Wish I could say yes, but I'm totally jumping on the bandwagon after the song was on Grey's and Veronica Mars.

    Way to come out of the bubblegum closet!
