long time, no see!

Sorry guys. I am such a slacker.
I rent, right? I am sick of my room's boringness. I'll post some pics.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Eighteen

Day 18: A song from the year you were born.

I'm doing two today, 'cause I skipped yesterday. Oops. So I was born in the long ago, far away year of 1978. I just went through a shit ton of songs that Google kindly informed me came out that year. Out of all of them, this is my favorite. Enjoy!

100 Day Song Challenge Day Seventeen

Day 17: A song from a movie. (what is the movie?)

Okay. Old School is not my favorite comedy. It doesn't even come close. I don't get the draw. But it DID introduce me to The Dan Band. And if I ever get married, I want to hire them to play this for my first dance.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Sixteen

Day 16: A song you like but a friend hates.

My friend Tyler showed me this video about a month before it started getting radio play. It became kind of an anthem for our entire group of friends. We knew all the words within a week and laughed maniacally every time we played it. I would probably have listened to it constantly, only my boyfriend HATES IT!!! With a weird, fiery passion. How can you hate this song??? I don't get it.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Fifteen

Day 15: A song you hate.


Words just can not express my deep, deep hatred for this song. The first time I heard it, I was in a car wash. I listened in horrified fascination and do not think I have been able to listen to it in its entirety since. I hate her. So much.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Fourteen

Day 14: A song with a good video.

Christopher Walken. Enough said.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Thirteen

Day 13: A favourite cover song. (do you know who sang the original?)

Sorry! I was without internet for a few days! I will pick up where I left off.
Wish You Were Here is, without a doubt, my favorite Pink Floyd album. I also love Primus, so when I stumbled upon this cover, I was completely and utterly pleased with myself.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Twelve

Day 12: A song from any dead artist.

I have had this bizarre obsession with John Lennon since I was 14. This is a good song.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Eleven

Day 11: A song from an artist you are attracted to.

I will never forget the first time I saw Robert Smith. I was planted in front of MTV, as I was wont to do as a kid, when the video for Friday I'm In Love came on. INSTANT LOVE!!! This silly man with crazy hair and smeared makeup, dancing around gleefully. . . This is a crush I have never quite gotten over. For a long time, I would lust after boys who had the Robert Smith look, if only because they vaguely reminded me of him. I do not think my crush will ever fade. He is such a pretty, pretty man. And his voice is so full of longing. . . Oh, lawsy, I'm getting flushed just thinking about it. Anyway, here's my favorite Cure song. Enjoy!

100 Day Song Challenge Day Ten

Day 10: A song from one of your favourite albums. (what is the album?)

Born To Die is an amazing album. That is all.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Nine

Day 09: A childhood memory T.V. theme tune.

Like most little girls growing up in the U.S. in the 80s, nothing fascinated me more than watching a half hour long television show about a bunch of retired old women living in a beach house. To this day, I don't understand the phenomenon. I swear, the viewing audience had to be 90% children. Anyway, my favorite was Rose. I'm so hipster, I liked Betty White before she was cool.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Eight

Day 08: A song you used to like but now hate.

I CLEARLY remember loving the hell out of this song as a child. I didn't know what new wave was, but, in retrospect, I adored anything even remotely new wave. I am sorry. I am about to lose some Child Of The Eighties Cred here, but I just can not deal with this song now. I can't, I can't, I can't. And the worst thing about it is even THINKING of it will give me a major ear worm. I am trying, as we speak, to prepare myself for days and days of "Don't. . . don't you want me?" Just that part. Over and over again.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Seven

Day 07: One of your favourite songs.

I change favorite songs more than I change my underwear. Here's one I really like that I've been listening to a lot lately.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Six

Day 06: A novelty song

This cracks me up every time. One time, I sang it outside of a gas station with two total strangers. Also, when I am mad, I am wont to throw things on the ground. Then I think to myself, "I threw it on the ground!" And without fail, I am no longer angry,

100 Day Song Challenge Day Five

05: A song a friend likes but you don't.

Let me get one thing straight. I HATE PINK'S MUSIC!!! Soooo much. There is not a lot I can not tolerate, but Pink is one of my exceptions. Also, Avril. However, I don't know that any of my friends like Avril. I know for a fact that a couple of them like Pink. WHY??? WHY, friends?? Anyway, I am gonna assume one of them likes this song. It could very well be my least favorite song off all time. I HATE it! I HATE IT!!

100 Day Song Challenge Day Four

Day 04: A song you can remember your parents listening to.

My parents have very different tastes in music. My dad is a Frank Zappa Obsessed Maniac, while my mom is more into The Beatles and opera. This is one of the bands they agree on. And they both love this particular song.

100 Day Song Challenge Day Three

Day 03: A song that reminds you of a night out. (when was it and where?)

Okay, so back in my late teens and early twenties, I would listen to this song every time I was getting ready to go out. So it doesn't remind me of any one particular night, but an entire era. I thought I was very clever putting on my makeup and doing my hair while Mr. Bowie told me I was pretty. :)

100 Day Song Challenge Day Two

Day 02: A song from the first album you ever bought. (What was the album?)

When I was thirteen, I woke up one morning and was getting ready for school, as always with MTV on in the background. This video came on, with this gorgeous redheaded girl singing about being crucified. I stopped what I was doing and stared until the video wqas over. It was the first time in my entire life that I had been so affected by a song that I HAD to have the cassette. I couldn't wait one more day, so when I got off school that day, I made my dad drive me to the local indie record store and spent my hard-earned allowance on Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos. She was a huge part of my life for many years. So, in honor of Tori, the first song I ever heard by her, off the first album I ever bought.

DAY ONE!!!!

Day 01: A song you know all the lyrics to.

There are SO MANY songs I know all the lyrics to, I'm not sure where to even start. So I'll start with my current favorite.
I don't know what it is about this song that gets to me every time. It still has the ability to utterly captivate me no matter how many times I play it (which, when I am in my ca,r is often over and over again), and I always feel the need to sing along loudly.
It could just be because Amanda Palmer is a fucking goddess. It could be the intensity at the end. I don't know. I DO know that I love it.
