Pre-Road Trip Post

So this Saturday I'm leaving for my epic trip across the country with the three other W-H'ers. Don't worry. I'm going to be a music nazi the entire trip. I told Mike that we can only listen to "White Houses" once a state.

But before I leave, I'm giving you guys some fabulous songs that you may enjoy in my absence.

The Rakes - The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was Perfect (In what way was this song not meant for us?)

Muse - Feeling Good

Dirty Pretty Things - Last of the Small Town Playboys

Dodgy - Good Enough

Jessica Hoop - Intelligentactile 101 (This girl was a nanny for Tom Waits' kids. I mean, is there much cooler than that? Also, ten bucks says that this song is in the next season of Grey's Anatomy.)

Jeremy Fischer - Jolene

Pernice Brothers - Somerville

Explosions In the Sky - Look Into the Air (This one's instrumental and random. It's from Friday Night Lights and it's really good sleeping music).

And just because I can...

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell (ACOUSTIC BITCHES)

Ok dears. Enjoy the music and I shall return soon. Or not. I might get eaten by bears in Yellowstone. Good thing I'm taking my Bear Facts Playing Cards. Post tons of music for when I get back.

I Did It! ------ I Think.

Lady Friends.

I am entitling this mix Summer Catch. Not for a reference to the now Where Are They Now? Freddie Prinze Jr. But because of the darn catchiness of these songs I think represent summer. YES. Jessica Biel listen to THIS:

Come On Petunia - The Blow
-this adds to nina's previous mix with covers

I Can't Stop This Feeling I've Got - Razorlight
Kirsten Dunst is dating the lead singer, I hope this doesn't make you guys hate it.

I'm With You - The Ponys
I mean they actually say RETARDED. Brits are so un-PC

Hide Another Mistake - The 88

Taxi Driver - Gym Class Heroes
Listen to all the bands they say!

Hello darlings. I'm so glad to see two of you have been able to make it through the treacherous path of creating a username for ze blog. I decided that I wanted to post my top ten favorite songs....ever. This has been mighty hard. In the process of making the list, I ended up with 23 songs. So don't be surprised if I do it again with ten new and different songs. IRREGARDLESS. Here they are in no particular order.

1. Foo Fighters - Everlong. Apparently this song is also Dave Letterman's favorite song. We're basically the same person Dave and I.

2. Weezer - The World Has Turned And Left Me Here. This song is so fantastically emo it makes me want to put on some dark rimmed glasses and clip my keys onto a caribeener on my belt loops. The Blue Album will always be one of my favorite albums. Who didn't love the Buddy Holly video when they were in a fucking episode of Happy Days?

3. Bright Eyes - Land Locked Blues. I won't try and defend myself on this one. I love this song. I love Bright Eyes. Everyone just has to deal with it.

4. The Beatles - Hey Jude. I actually just love when Paul McCartney yells "Hey Juuudy Judy Judy Judy!" because it reminds me of Izzard. Don't call me Judy!

5. Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressue. If you need to be convinced that this is the greatest song ever, then we're probably not actually friends.

6. The Clash - Should I Stay Or Should I Go? This one was hard to choose. It was either this one or Train In Vain. However, this one won out because of the first 30 seconds.

7. U2 - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses? Bono. The Edge. Adam. Larry. Who's going to ride my wild horses U2? BONO. That's who.

8. Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness. When they opened for Green Day they played this song and I didn't realize until that point that I love this song far too much. The chorus basically makes you wish you were a much better singer than you are. Unless you're EC and can actually sing.

9. All These Things That I've Done - The Killers. Fine Flowers. You win. This is an awesome song and it rules to hear it live. Ok? Just because it's one of my favorite songs doesn't mean I can hate you any less.

10. Violent Femmes - Blister In the Sun. Here's where I admit I've never seen Grosse Pointe Blank. Irregardless, I love this song, the beginning, the chorus, the odd references to big hands.

Honorable mentions: Me and Julio - Paul Simon; Carousel - Blink 182; Clementine - Elliott Smith; Waiting - Green Day; Don't Think Twice It's Alright - Bob Dylan; Last Nite - The Strokes; Devil's Haircut - Beck; Take A Walk On the Wildside - Lou Reed

So chilluns...what be your top ten? Post away so I can steal your music. With our powers combined, there's no stopping our musical domination! Let's go team!
