Post #100!

This post, my friends, is the one-hundreth post in the history of Good Bloggie. That's pretty exciting.

So instead of just writing which songs I'm listening to lately, I figured out a way to put them into .wmv format and then host them on YouTube (the source of all life). It takes a million years to save but I figured if I could throw songs up every once in a while, people might listen to them and gain an appreciation for whatever I'm digging at the moment. There are just so many songs I want to put on here but I had to choose only a couple... So here you go:




EEEEEE! I almost forgot. You know when you hear things on KCSU and you know you know who it is but you can't place it? Well yesterday I found out a song that I absoloutely loved was by a band I've liked for a long time, Broken Social Scene. I guess I'm not that great of a fan then, right? Anyways, this is worthy of posting a .... erm.... music... video of. So here you go:



Even though my three-year-old's attention span is resisting it, I promised my friend Mark that I'd make a playlist. I was going to break it down into my favorite songs of all time, but that would take me days to figure out. Then I was going to break it down into genre, with 5 or 10 songs in each list. Then I just kind of gave up and this is what I got, from most current songs I'm liking to less current.

Songity- Song Songs:

1. Hotel Expressionism - The Streets: Mike of The Street's music really feeds into my whole British obsession that I've got going lately. Plus, it's fun to sing along to and fake an accent.

2. Backyard Betty - Spank Bank: I've mentioned this song countless times before, but the beat on this song is awesome. It's fast without being spastic, and their flows are interesting without being complicated. It's kind of dirty too. Who doesn't like dirty?!

3. Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too - Say Anything: When my friend Adam drove me and my roomate to the bars, he put this song on. I was immediately obsessed. And drunk.

4. Streetcar - Funeral For A Friend: D Money makes me these amazing punk rock mix CDs and makes me feel cool again. I pumped myself up for my Calculus final with this one at 7:00am. Needless to say, I got a B. Damnit.

5. Go Go Gadget Gospel - Gnarls Barkley: Gnarls is good. I know the whole "being obsessed with Gnarls Barkley" thing is kind of two months ago, however, this is just a good song.
6. Taxi Driver - Gym Class Heroes: I had a conversation with my roomate Michelle about how I like Gym Class Heroes' music and how I think that they have really funny songs and good beats and good flows. However, I felt that I couldn't like him because the reason why the dude became famous was because GCH was discovered by Fall Out Boy. Mich then proceeded to tell me to stop being such a snob.

7. Parade - Pretty Girls Make Graves: I used to be positively obsessed with PGMG. Crazy, listen to them every day, make my roomate go crazy, obsessed. When I saw them like, two years ago, they announced that they would be coming out with a new CD. I was so excited but when I got it earlier this year, I was a little disappointed. Regardless, this song is still pretty good in a unique little PGMG way.

8. Step Into My Office, Baby - Belle and Sebastian: Belle and Sebastien are severly underrated. They started out as a class project, I think, and morphed into this sensitive, talented indie band. I highly suggest you check them out.

9. I Ain't Sayin' My Goodbyes - Tom Vek: Good song. Free iTunes download. Enough said.

10. Don't Say A Word - Liam and Me: This is one of those bands that I stumbled upon who are just really, really good. Their whole CD is good, which is something to be said. A big criteria of whether or not I'll like a band is if they can put together a whole CD and I won't get bored.

11. Paralyzed - Rock Kills Kid: This is just a good, dancey rock song. "Sing into a hairbrush" good.

12. Romulus - Sufjan Stevens: Sufjan Stevens, admittedly, is weird -- weird in a good way. He's kind of hit or miss sometimes, but this song is spot on.

13. Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks - The Rapture: For a while during the school year, Mac and I were obsessed with the movie "The Rules of Attraction." This song plays backwards and then forwards in one scene, and features the kind of drum rhythym that I fucking love.

14. '93 Till Infinity - Souls of Mischief: When I went to Arizona for spring break, and Ashton flipped his 4 Runner with me in it, and then it snowed like 2 feet, and then we just sat inside and drank a lot, we listened to this song. On repeat.

15. Bullet and a Target - Citizen Cope: Citizen Cope will forever remind me of Mac. We used to listen to them, and then talk about them, and then listen to them again. We had to stop listening to them, however, when Mac's roomate Robert played the shit out of them and ruined the band for Mac forever. R.I.P. Citizen Cope.

16. Twin Cinema - The New Pornographers : This is just another one of those ultra-indie songs that I like that no one else does.

17. Power Out - The Arcade Fire: The Arcade Fire rocks my socks. Not only are they an amazing band, but they sing some of their songs in French. Triple word score!

18. When You Heard You - The French Kicks: Catchy. The end.

19. Over You - Acceptance: This song was a house favorite around the time when we went to Aspen. It's one of those songs you can crank up and rock the fuck out to. Which we did. A lot.

20. Stay With You - John Legend: I know that he was nominated for a Grammy, or won one, or whatever, but this song is just simple and beautiful.

21. The Space Between - Valencia: Yet another D Money Wonder Song.

22. Carry Me Ohio - Sun Kil Moon: I've mentioned this song before. It's slow and haunting, and speaks of... love lost, or something. Oh! Shiny things!

23. Of Angels and Angles - The Decemberists: Shit, ya almost lost me there. I'm getting so squirmy and antsy in my desk chair. This song is also slow and I can ALMOST play it on my guitar. Almost. I love The Decemberists because they don't just sing about looooove and sadnessssss and things of that nature. They make up stories and characters and tell them through songs.

Oh my god. That was the longest it has ever taken me to write a post. I hope at least one of you read down to here. So anyways, I have to get ready for work...

I love you, darlings.

Good Bloggie.

You're Welcome.

Whoever thought a ninja could be so damn awesome?!
