The Audio Resolution

So today i noticed "Green Light" popped up again. I feel like i should address this - i DO have a few repeats in my itunes library. But some of these are actually different tracks, like cool remixes or live versions. And some are identical songs because a friend gave me a song on a mix CD that i already had. I felt like deleting duplicates would take away from the point of the resolution, but pretending SOME songs overlap would be dishonest. So there is that.

Also, i have been dying to look at the end of my list and see what the final song is! i havent yet, im trying to stay strong and wait for the last day. Cuz I love surprises. Like a lot. Im not even finding out what sex my babies are until i pop those fuckers out. Heres today's playlist:

Gold Star award AND best way to start the day song of the day award: "Take It On The Run" by REO Speedwagon. Have you heard this song? how amazing yeah? here, download it, for real. Then tomorrow play it as soon as you wake up. and then send me a thank you note for the awesome suggestion. I will also accept a cash based expression of gratitude.

"The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner" by Belle & Sebastian: Does this song remind anyone of The Velvet Underground? Let me know, i think im going crazy. This title makes me chuckle, since one of my theme songs is "Middle Distance Runner" by Sea wolf.

So won't you run to me tonight?
Tonight let's not talk about next summer
Cause I'll only ever be
a middle distance runner

WEIRD right? hmmm. music.

Freak in the bed award: "Stitches" by Orgy. This song makes me want to have sex. (dear mom and schen - totally kidding) (dear everyone else: insert wink face here)

I dont listen to a lot of Bowie, so i havent heard "Don't Bring Me Down" before. It came on during my morning commute and i was surprised by how good it was.

Damn i like this band lately award: "Promise" by Eve 6. Im confused because i keep not recognizing their song titles, but know all the words by the time they hit the chorus. I feel like i have had an Eve 6 song everyday this week (okay i just checked and ive only had one this week.... FAIL). This song should be my theme song though...

I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind
I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine
I promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye
I promise not to try not to let you down
Don't let me down

I think i need more Eve 6 in my music rotation. mentally noted.

Smile bringer of the day: "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra. It brought a smile to my day, contrary to what you might infer from the title of the award....

Reminds me of Punxsy award: "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship. Please note that they have upgraded to a Starship by this point. I <3 random band name evolution. I was big on walking when i lived there and it was a great small town for exploring. I would play my "Classic Rock Education" playlist from Dad while i trekked on side streets, forest trails, or by the river. This song would almost always come on and always got turned up. Sometimes its nice to sit and sip up sweet memories like that.

This one goes out for Coco award: "Present Of Future End" by The Most Serene Republic :)

Sidenote: I was thinking yesterday about how i love the color red (my hand was bleeding and i was kind of staring at it psychopathically in calculus) and it may be my fav color. Now, for the longest time i havent had one because all colors are beautiful in their own way. But that bright intensity of fresh blood? the passion and pain it exudes? thats kind of something i can get down with. Insert "Twilight" reference here.

Hidden Gem: "Next Year" by Foo Fighters. I love them. (right click and chose "save target as" or "download linked file." totally safe. i test all my links so no worries)

Hidden Cubic Zirconia: "An Idea" by Jar-e. I thought this was going to be one of those Baghra songs, but im pleasantly surprised. It is kind of jazzy and not totally my thing, but you should check it out if you are really bored.

Good idea at the time song of the day: Mystikal Fever" by Mystikal. Mystikal needs deleted from my library. Seriously. Mia Nicole Taylor and i love "Shake it Fast" and "Danger," so we bought the entire album on ebay. Naturally. Now i have 20 songs of this rap guy yelling at me with horrible beats in the background. Sigh. The mistakes of our youth.

What a FANTASTIC list today! i listened to most of it twice it was so nice (total accidental rhyme yo). I am off to cook some dinner for Q-House! Im pretty pumped about it, i love all of them and they always invite me to their badass parties, so i feel like its the least i can do to show my love. Plus i LOVE cooking for people. Its kind of my thing. Have a great friday night everyone, party hard and party safe!

More to come tomorrow.
