Song(s) of the Day

All Time Low, Angels and Airwaves, Blink-182, and Say Anything?  I should have just named this post "Mike's Favorite Bands."  This is like if Twitch.TV did a Hidden Gems program and featured mostly casters that were already popular. Oh wait...

Song of the Day Tally

26th tally for All Time Low, 2nd Tally for Sick Little Games

Sick Little Games - All Time Low

They're finding me out, I'm having my doubts.  I'm losing the best of me, dressed up as myself to live in the shadow of who I'm supposed to be.  We're all part of the same sick little games and I need to get away.

27th tally for All Time Low, 4th tally for Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass

Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass - All Time Low

I hope you're happy with yourself, 'cause I'm not laughing.

41st tally for Blink-182, 2nd tally for Time to Break Up

Time to Break Up - Blink-182

Hurts to break up, she was stronger.  All my friends say please don't love her.  What did I gain?  Now I miss her so.  Move on, let her go.

23rd tally for Say Anything, 4th tally for Peace Out

Peace Out - Say Anything

I'll be fine, sever this for all time.  I'll laugh it off when this ends.  You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends.

3rd tally for Angels and Airwaves, 3rd tally for Do It For Me Now

Do It For Me Now - Angels and Airwaves

I've really had it with the rain of the tears, the predictable storm that has come every year.  And it sneaks in from shore with a bat in its hand.  I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I can't.  You're a thief and a witch, but I love you to death.  You steal my heart and curse under your breath, but the one thing that I can most willingly prove; that when you are gone, I'll be fine without you.

Song of the Day

This song reminds me of American Pie 2 every time I hear it.

Song of the Day Tally

39th tally for Blink-182, 1st tally for Every Time I Look For You

Every Time I Look For You - Blink-182

More time apart will give you a few more months to argue.  Is this too much to live through?  It always seemed too far to drive the point home.  Send more letters, pray tomorrow ends up better.

Song(s) of the Day

It was a Punk Goes... type of day with a little bit of Blink-182 sprinkled in.  I still listened to some good old fashioned bitter break-up songs from Brand New, but don't have it in me to give them another song of the day.

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her.

Song of the Day

"Time To Break Up"

I guess its only the men
Who get fucked now and again
We take our chicks to the mall,
We wait in parking stalls
And when we come home too late,
She's pissed that she had to wait
And my excuse not to call,
It never worked at all

Time to wake up
Where's your daughter?
Hurt's to break up,
She was stronger
All my friends say,
Please don't love her
What did i gain?
Now i miss her so

I used to hate the lipstick
It stained and tasted so sick
The pantyhose and the bras,
She threw on my guitars
Shit fuck i made a mistake,
I thought i needed a break
The truth is i'm such a dick,
It's broke and can't be fixed

Time to wake up
Where's your daughter?
Hurt's to break up,
She was stronger
All my friends say,
Please don't love her
What did i gain?
Now i miss her so

If you wanna call it a heartache,
Then i shouldn't regret those things, i miss her
If you want the pain to go away,
Better suck up your pride and admit you lost her
Let her go, move on, let her go, move on, let her go

Time to wake up
Where's your daughter?
Hurt's to break up,
She was stronger
All my friends say,
Please don't love her
What did i gain?
Now i miss her so

Move on, let her go, move on, let her go,
move on, let her go, move on, let her go

Song of the Day

     When I woke up today at the brisk morning hour of noon, I looked at Twitter on my Android and noticed that a trending topic was "Best Album Ever."  Of course, naturally, my immediate instinct was to exclaim to the Twitterverse that Take Off Your Pants & Jacket by Blink-182 was my best album ever!  I will now have the song of the day be a song from that album, an underrated as hell song if you ask me.  Online Songs is catchy as shit and the opening kidnaps my ears every single time.

Top 15 Favorite Songs by...BLINK-182

     Up very early today after going to sleep while the world was still buzzing.  I was listening to my iPod in bed and a new idea sparked in my mind.  I'm going to do a series of posts over the next couple weeks, tributes to my favorite bands as I list my top 15 songs by them.  I, of course, will begin with my favorite of them all, Blink-182 and their top 15.  My process is relatively simple.  I go to a list of all the band's songs and write down the song names into a Word document that I initially believe could be included in this type of list.  For Blink-182, I jotted down 72 songs in total from Buddha to Neighborhoods, that I ultimately trimmed down to a top 15.  Since I have always had a fondness for the underdog, I will of course reveal the honorable mentions.  For the honorable mentions in these lists, I'll simply state the next batch of songs, the 15 that didn't make it after the top guns.  For Blink-182, the songs that just missed the cut were Stay Together for the Kids, First Date, Going Away to College, Go, Easy Target, Dumpweed, Dammit, Everytime I Look For You, Josie, I Won't Be Home for Christmas, Natives, Aliens Exist, Apple Shampoo, Wishing Well, & What's My Age Again?.
