Second times a charm award: "Wasted and Ready" by Ben Kweller. This song was on my list yesterday and i almost shined the spotlight on it, but decided to skip over it. Then it popped up again today and i thought "all right, your persistence has paid off." If its on tomorrows list though ill just get angry. I mean, we get it, you are a funny clever song about very relatable situations. And you sound like a Weezer song. I like you. Just play it cool and dont be so anxious. Seriously. Two days in a row is plenty.
Misheard lyrics song of the day: "Evil Woman" by Electric Light Orchestra. I used to think this song was called "Medieval Woman." Like medieval times. Like knights and castles and shit. DONT LAUGH AT ME! it totally sounds like it during the chorus.... (im such a tool)
AMAZING cover award: "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" by The White Stripes. You should really download this. I mean it. Do it, please. You owe it to yourself to hear the greatness that is Jack White (and Meg White).
Flashback song song of the day: "Take Me the Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson. It reminds me of culinary school. And new love. And that one old navy commercial. Sigh.
'Cause I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
Cool music video award: "Starlight" by Muse. It has a cool music video.
Song about a Pididdle! Song of the day: "One Headlight" by The Wallflowers. Okay is somebody slipping me pills with extra estrogen? I mean seriously.... i cried again? This time i was in public too. Whatevs. Its because this time, when i listened to this song, i wasnt singing it to a girl like i usually do. I was singing it to myself. It changed the meaning into something a lot deeper and more personal:
Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
Get the lyrics to the whole song here.
This doesnt help the boner ive had for the entire week song of the day: "Come A Little Closer" by Dierks Bentley. Fucking SEXY song. Sexy. Have you seen thsi video? I cant even watch it right now... im like, unstable. (i apologize for giving TMI to my sister and mom. but not really.)
Every word is true award: "Crush" by Dave Matthews Band. This is one the songs i used to hear and think "wow, this is about my life." We all do it, i know, but i was soooo into this one. I love the way the bass line and brass and all the elements propel the story line more than the lyrics can. The sound is so smooth, smokey, dimly lit, chilly wind, smell of old rain, cloudy sky, cracked sidewalk, melting ice cube, jingling apartment keys, cotton sheets, and spring around the corner. I love the world it takes you to, if you let it. Try it out. Plus the full version is over 8 minutes. I love long songs. I feel like they get to say a lot more.
Where the wild song of the day is award: "Wake Up" by The Arcade Fire. This song also gets the Hidden Gem award (thats a download link, if you didnt know. right click and chose "save target as" or "download linked file"). I was jamming to it while walking to class in the snow... it made it seem like i was in a movie. Which you know i always LOVE. The lyrics are right up my alley (thats what she said) with their themes of losing childhood magic and becoming a boring adult. Boring people are lame. Dont be boring.
Somethin’ filled up
my heart with nothin’,
someone told me not to cry.
But now that I’m older,
my heart’s colder,
and I can see that it’s a lie.
Make me smile song of the day" "After Hours" by The White Stripes. This is a live track i found of The White Stripes covering "After Hours" by The Velvet Underground in concert. Meg sings it, which is adorable even off key. I wikipedia-ed it and found this:
It is one of few songs with lead vocals by drummer Maureen Tucker, as Lou Reed stated the song was "so innocent and pure" that he could not possibly sing it himself.
I listened to the original and i must say, it sounds A LOT like Meg. Same idea too, the girl drummer taking the lead on a song too innocent for the crazy front man. This is the kind of music trivia i love.
Friday.... friday was a good day. if there ever is such a thing.
More to come tomorrow.
