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."
