Song Challenge: Day 21

I’m a slacker, so I’m back-filling days I missed… better late than never right? I was sad that there was no favorite funny song so I’m using my free day for: Your favorite funny song: Weird Al Yankovic “White and Nerdy” Because, well… I identify with a LOT of this song and it is just...

Song Challenge: Day 21

So here we are at our “wild card” day… OMG, the possibilities are endless!! At first, I thought I’d pick a song I often sing to Gabe. Or maybe a song that’s on my Halloween mix (Yes! To those who don’t know, I have an extensive Halloween playlist.) But I’m actually going to go with...

Song Challenge: Day 20

I’m having trouble with today’s selection. Once again, I’m putting it off to the last minute. Aside from the occasional marital disagreement the only thing that REALLY gives me the rage is driving. Sometimes I get a little upset at other drivers — enough that I can physically feel my blood pressure rising. But when...

Song Challenge: Day 20

It’s not so much a certain song, but a genre of songs that I like when i’m in a brooding bad mood. This is a song that I don’t even own, but if I get in the car and it was a bad day, I tilt the radio towards this. Great song, I should get...

Song Challenge: Day 19

I spent a long time on this one today, Listening, weighing options… listening some more. Here were the contenders: Underworld: “Everything Everything” Gorillaz: “Demon Days” Ben Folds “Way to Normal” Wax Tailor “Tales of the Forgotten Melodies” Dead can Dance “Selections from the North American Tour” In the rules of things like this there can...

Song Challenge: Day 19

When I first heard Jeff Buckley’s album Grace, I remember being utterly bowled over by the incredible duality of his vocals. On one hand, he could have the most incredibly sublime tenor — something you don’t often hear in male rock voices — that could bring tears to the eyes. On the other hand, he...

Song Challenge: Day 18

Soul Coughing is one of my favorite defunct bands, They didin’t have my favorite on youtube but it’s “True Dreams of Wichita.” They have a split version on there but who wants to see a song in two halves? Anyway, I miss this band and although Mike Doughty started a solo career that I like pretty well,...

Song Challenge: Day 18

Almost 2 years ago, I heard this song via a link on someone’s Twitter feed. Random, I know. But I immediately did a bunch of research to find out who this was! It is Kate Miller-Heidke. Evidently, her album was not currently available in the US — only Australia!! By the time I found this...

Song Challenge: Day 17

I mentioned before that I’m not much of a radio listener — apart from the alternative & college rock stations that I listen to on my way to/from work. Plus, I call my mom almost every day during my commute so my listening time is pretty brief. A song you hear often on the radio...

Song Challenge: Day 17

I still get the XM in my car, I don’t listen a ton to music, but have been since we started this blogging quest. I chose the last song I bought because I heard it on my XM and marked it as a song I like. I love Wax Tailer and can’t wait to get...

Song Challenge: Day 16

I really liked this song when it came out. But now, years later I find it kinda grating and boring and well. MEH. A song that you used to love, but now hate Spin Doctors “Two Princes”

Song Challenge: Day 15

I had a real problem picking this song. SO I decided to answer a question with a titled answer. But really, my pick I hope not only is as silly as the question, it is made-up of like 4 different styles of music. I am diverse.   A song that describes you Weezer “The Greatest...
