10 Peas in a Pod

Premise: Put the pod on shuffle, first 10 songs....what you like about them, what they remind you of, why you have them, anything....GO.


1.  How :: The Cranberries
I heard this song on one of my favorite movies, Empire Records.  That is all I think about when I hear this song.

2.  The One That Got Away:: Katy Perry
Let me just begin with I hate Katy Perry.  Whew, now I can move on.  When I first heard this song, it was when I saw the music video.  I have no idea what possessed me to watch it, but I did.  The video made me cry and I instantly became obsessed with this song.  I remember driving to my parents house and I had this song on repeat for about an hour of the drive.  I'm not sure who exactly is my one who got away but...wait, yes I do.

3.  She Wants to Move :: N.E.R.D
I remember this song when it came out.  Didn't really care for it.  Then I was plowing through the Six Feet Under series for the second time and there is a scene where Claire goes to a party and this song is on.  I just remember thinking this song is amazing.

4.  Family :: Noah Gunderson
"Say something awful, as if fucking the world was your right."  If that line alone doesn't sell you, we probably have no chance of a friendship.  I heard this song on Sons of Anarchy and it blew me away.  I immediately looked it up.  Everything about this song amazing.  One of my favorites, ever.  And I listened to this song on repeat for the second hour of the trip to my parents house, right after Katy Perry.  Wow emotional was I?

5.  Doll Parts ::  Hole
I love Courtney Love, Obsessed.  I remember seeing the video for Doll Parts when it first came out.  I didn't really get it, I didn't understand the lyrics but I was drawn to it.  Now the pieces of Doll Parts make complete sense to me.  I still listen to Live Through This from start to finish.

6.  Living After Midnight ::  Judas Priest
Seriously, this song always gets me going.  It is booze and cigs and bad decisions, basically everything I love about my friends and I.

7.  Step Down :: The Moxy
A few years back I was in a pretty bad place.  I was housesitting for my folks and I got completely shit faced by myself and watched Where The Fuck is Santa?  This band performed this song at the very end and I dug it.

8.  And Love Said No :: HIM
"Kill me, I begged and love said no.  Leave me, for dead and let me go."  
HIM does love songs like I like love songs.

9.  Make Me Wanna Die :: The Pretty Reckless
Just enjoy her gritty voice and TURN IT UP....LOUD!

10.  O Sailor :: Fiona Apple
Extraordinary Machine is one of my favorite albums.  I love Fiona Apple, she is soooo much more than Criminal.  "Everything good I deem too good to be true, everything else is a bore."
