Epic Fail: "My Baby" by Britney Spears. Its so bad, dont even attempt to listen to it. Youll hate it.


Throwback award: "Ride Wit Me" by Nelly. Where they at? Nelly is MY BOY. See below:

In the club on the late night, feelin right
Lookin tryin to spot somethin real nice
Lookin for a little shorty hot and horny so that I can take home
(I can take home)
She can be 18 (18) wit an attitude
or 19 kinda snotty actin real rude
Boo, as long as you a thicky thicky thick girl you know that it's on
(Know that it's on)
I peep something comin towards me up the dance floor
Sexy and real slow (hey)
Sayin she was peepin and I dig the last video
So when Nelly, can we go; how could I tell her no?
Her measurements were 36-25-34
Yellin I like the way you brush your hair
And I like those stylish clothes you wear
I like the way the light hit the ice and glare
And I can see you moving way over there

yeah. ya heard? uh. word.


Best song to listen to while breaking a diet song of the day: "Sugar Never Tasted So Good" by The White Stripes.


Gold Star: "Because" by The Beatles. This wins the gold star because it is the a capella version from The Beatles Anthology disc 3. At the end of my funeral service, right before they take my coffin out of the church, i want this song to be blasted in its entirety. I just want everyone to sit still and quiet and take in this track. Right that down and totally make it happen for me, yeah? Alright cool. thanks. There is a great inside story to my love of this song too.... ask me about it in person and ill tell it lol


Almost Gold Star: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles. It was a Beatles kind of day.



More to come tomorrow.

Ballad of the day: "That's Where It Is" by Carrie Underwood. I hate that i love this.

In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is,
That's where it is


Rooted in history song of the day: "Shankill Butchers" by The Decemberists. Its a neat story.... about a murderous gang in Ireland. Sweet right? Its told as though its a bedtime lullaby warning children to

mind their mother's words

. I wiki-ed the song title and check it out:

The Shankill Butchers is the name given to a loyalist gang, many of whom were members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF). The gang conducted paramilitary activities in Belfast, Northern Ireland during the 1970s. It was most notorious for its late-night abduction, torture and murder (by throat slashing) of random Catholic civilians. The Shankill Butchers killed at least 30 people (including a significant number of Protestants) in sectarian attacks, paramilitary feuds, personal grudges and bombing raids. Despite extensive police resources being channelled towards the capture of those responsible, a wall of silence, created by a mixture of fear and respect in the Shankill community, provided few leads that could be followed.

There you go. History lesson of the day, with musical accompaniment to boot. I know, im pretty cool.


Best combo of the day: "The Clicker (For The Maggie Fans)" by Kathy Griffin and "Oprah's Favorite Things" by Kathy Griffin. She effing cracks me up. Hahaha Ugg boots in Macon, Georgia. Oprah is fucking crazy.


Hidden Gem: "Smoke and Mirrors" by The Audition. I just found this one and already love it. Im gonna blast it in my car all day long. check it out.


Coolest video of the day: "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia. I cant decide what i love more - the lyrics, the clothes, or natalie. mmmm. please enjoy this flashback moment with me:


Wheres the part where she lies naked on the floor dammit?!


Gold Star: "A Praise Chorus" by Jimmy Eat World. This song pretty much gets the gold for sampling from "Crimson and Clover." I know Joan Jett didnt do the original but her version is my favorite. I posted the whole thing below because its THAT good.

Are you going to live your life wondering
Standing in the back, looking around
Are you going to waste your time thinking
How you've grown up or how you missed out
Things are never going be the way you want
Where's it going to get you acting serious
Things are never going to be quite what you want
Even at twenty-five you got to start sometime

I'm on my feet
I'm on the floor
I'm good to go
And all I need is just to hear a song I know
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I wanna fall in love tonight

Are you going to live your life
Standing in the back, looking around
Are you going to waste your time
Oughta make a move or you'll miss out

Someone's going to ask you what it's all about
Stick around, nostalgia won't let you down
Someone's going to ask you what it's all about
What are you going to have to say for yourself

I'm on my feet
I'm on the floor
I'm good to go
And all I need is just to hear a song I know
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I wanna fall in love tonight

Crimson and clover
Over and over
Crimson and clover
Over and over

Our house in the middle of the street
Why did we ever meet
Started my rock 'n' roll fantasy
Don't don't, don't let's start
Why did we ever part
Kick start my rock 'n' rollin' heart

I'm on my feet
I'm on the floor
I'm good to go
So come on Davey, sing me something that I know
I want to always feel like part of this was mine
I want to fall in love tonight
You don't know
I wanna fall in love tonight
You don't know
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I wanna fall in love tonight
I wanna fall in love tonight
I wanna fall in love tonight


More to come tomorrow.

Cuteness award: "Come On Get Higher" by Matt Nathanson


Pass me that dictionary over there song of the day:: "When The War Came" by The Decemberists. I like the song a lot and think there are some great metaphors but.... uh...

We mae made our oath to Vavilov
We'd not betray the solanum
The acres of asteraceae
To our own pangs of starvation

Really? We get it, you know big words. Thanks Decemberists.


Hidden Gem: "Camilo" by State Radio


Moulin Rougue wannabe video awrad: "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers. I mean, come on:



Right? right.


Wow... long song award: "American Pie" by Don McLean. I saw him do this song!!! For real! He came to the State Theatre during arts fest '07. Totally went by myself since i was already over there with my rents and they wanted to see a movie. (WOW, im cool). He did this as his encore and you could tell he HATED it haha. He was actually kind of an asshole. Im not surprised. I found a website explaining this song line by line, and while im tempted to link it, im not going to. Because it ruined the song for me. The mystery is gone. Santa Claus is dead. Its for your own good.


Pour my heart out lyrically song of the day: "Here Is Gone" by Goo Goo Dolls.

And I want to get free
Talk to me
I can fear you falling
And I won't tempt to be
All you need
Somehow here is gone


Gold Star: "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver. You need to download this song. Its tragic (in a good way). Hands down gold star, which is saying something considering all the five stars i had. Good job Bon Iver slash good job mallo.

Hidden Gem: "Carolina" by Matt Wertz. Its super cute.


Cover of the day: "Time After Time" by Quietdrive. LOVE IT!


OMG lets dance! award: "Hung Up" by Madonna. OOOOKAAY. So i went to Mamma Mia at the Eishenhower and have had "Gimme Gimme Gimme" stuck in my head since. Its a great disco song by Abba. Well i realized that Madonna sampled it for "Hung Up." It is weird that this comes up on my playlist 2 days later right? right.


Gold Star: "Dancing In The Dark" by Bruce Springsteen. These lyrics are some of the best ive ever had the privledge to sing along to. It expresses such a relatable sentiment. Its worth reading them without the blaring cheesy 80's synth in the background. I think the meaning is sometimes lost in the music. Check them out:

I get up in the evening
and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
even if we're just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
come on baby this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
come on now baby gimme just one look

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey baby


Best 90's Dance Pop Hit Ever of the day: "Another Night" by Real McCoy. Im having a TON of 90's song come up today and i like it. This is one you might not remember by name, but in the first 4 piano notes you will remember it. fantastic.


Loved it even before Glee award: "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones. I used to find comfort in this song during my classic rock music phase. Then Glee did a great job with it and renewed my love for the original. Plus im a sucker for rock songs backed by choirs.

Me and Chris Brown like our women obedient.


Gold star: "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit. This is the one that starts with the fire alarm guitar riff. Dont remember it? Refresh your memory here. And the crowd goes "ooooooh, THAT song!" haha it was a main jam at the restaurant for a while, me and Cody would blast it. Because it is basically the story of our lives:


Can we forget about the things I said
When I was drunk
I didn't mean to call you that
I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me
Please tell me, please tell me Why
My car is in the front yard,
And I'm Sleeping with my clothes on
Came in through the window last night
And your gone
Gone

LIFE. STORY.

Best song title of the day song of the day: "Ann Coulter's Snatch" by Hamell on Trial. Hahahaha. Snatch.


Gold Star: "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" by Bill Withers. I love this song, but i think i prefer Kris Allen's version (gasp!). No matter which one i hear though it pulls at me. There is such a deep remorse and sense of hopelessness in his voice... its haunting and beautiful. I feel like this would be fun to pair up against "Total Eclipse of the Heart" haha. Get it? Cuz the sunshine is gone? no? not funny? k. moving on....


Old School Bus jam of the day slash Brave New Word award: "Soma" by The Strokes. I used to jame to The Strokes' self titled debut on my morning bus rides to high school. This was a fav. Then we read Brave New World in AP English and the drug they all take is Soma. I basically had this song stuck in my head for the entire 3 weeks we covered the novel, It was awesome lol.
