30 Days of Music Day Thirty: Your Favorite Song at This Time Last Year: Butch Walker ~ Closer to the Truth and Further From The Sky

This is a cop out



because this is one of my favorite songs always.


AND I AM DONE!!

And this needed to end with Butch

30 Days of Music Day Twenty Nine: A Song From Your Childhood. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

I picked this video since it was recorded the year I was born





I remember looking at this one CSN album cover when I was little...






















... I thought they were my parents friends. They LOOKED like my parents friends. This song ALWAYS makes me think of being a kid.

The smell of certain things burning also reminds me of childhood.

30 Days of Music Day Twenty Eight: A Song That Makes You Feel Naughty: Blur ~ Girls and Boys

This was "guilty" but music never makes me feel guilty. So I changed it to "naughty" even though it is equally as silly



I picked this since I am in a Blur mood. Also I stand by the fact that this song if heard in public makes everyone make out.


Play it on a jukebox next time you can and see. I am totally right.

30 Days of Music Day Twenty Six/Seven: A Song You Can/Wish You Could Play On An Instrument: PP Arnold ~ First Cut is the Deepest

I can't play any instruments so I am skipping 26 and going right to 27



I wish I could sing like this.

30 Days of Music Day Twenty Five: A Song That Makes You Laugh: NPH & Fillion ~ A Man's Gotta Do

Everyones Gay Boyfriend and My Future Husband




Honestly? It's the "Balls!" at the end that gets me everytime. Because I am 12.

30 Days of Music Day Twenty Four: A Song That You Want to Play at Your Funeral: My Chemical Romance ~ The End/Dead

duh.

30 Days of Music Day Twenty Three: A Song That You Want to Play at Your Wedding: Concrete Blonde ~ Make Me Cry

I have been trying to not use the same artists over and over but this is one I have to use a recently used artist. Because no matter what anyone says if for some odd reason I get married THIS IS THE ONLY SONG

yep.



This chorus and verse is why...


You're the only one who leaves me warm and satisfied
You're the only one who takes me wrong and makes me right
Oh and if you took your love away
You'd leave me high and dry
Cause baby, you're the only one can make me cry

Lots of people talking at me
Tell me what is right
And lately I just don't know what to do
Ah, the only thing that matters is
If you're with me at night
Everything's all right when I'm with you

30 Days of Music Day Twenty Two: A Song That You Listen To When You’re Sad: The Sundays ~ Wild Horses

I am away for the weekend so I will catch up when I get home.




any version of this song really

30 Days of Music Day Twenty One: A Song That You Listen To When You’re Happy: Manfred Mann ~ Mighty Quinn

I missed yesterday so today I will do two.





Seriously, I love this song. I love this period of music. I love the facial expressions in this video.

What exactly is a "cup of meat"? Wikipedia says it's about basically nothing.

Do I care? No.

Often I will listen to this on an endless loop. Only this version because I sorta hate Bob Dylan.

30 Days of Music Day Twenty: A Song That You Listen to When You’re Angry: Mindless Self Indulgence ~ Stupid MF

I have a "Bad Day" playlist on my iPod. This was one of the first songs on it.





There is really nothing more to say here.

30 Days of Music Day Nineteen: A Song From Your Favorite Album

There are two perfect albums in the world.

1. Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting (1990)



I was at this show, this gave me chills. Hearing it live always does. This album makes me cry so much and I love it as much now as I did as an angsty angry teenager

2. Guns n Roses Appetite for Destruction (1987)



there is one flaw in the album that makes it perfect. Paradise City. Fuck I hate that song. GnR defined my teen years and, with Concrete Blonde, my taste in music. I was lucky enough to see GnR with almost this lineup. It was awesome.



I used live versions of both songs since I think both songs are better this way.

30 Days of Music Day Eighteen: A Song That You Wish You Heard on the Radio: Placebo ~ For What Its Worth

I got a cool new Placebo shirt in the mail today.






I wish Americans liked Placebo. They didn't even do ONE date here for this album. I just don't get it.

30 Days of Music Day Seventeen: A Song That You Hear Often on the Radio: Ke$ha ~ Blow

I don't really listen to the radio much, usually when I leave my iPod at home. But I DO watch MTV every morning as I get ready. They like this video... so do I



The Beek, Unicorns and laser guns!!! What's not to like?

Then there is Ke$ha. She is not very talented, she can't sing very well, pretty much she is terrible. LOVE IT!! Ke$sha is totally a mockery of the music business. She knows it... or someone behind the scenes knows it.

Millions of records later.... the joke is totally on us
