Songs of the Week

I cannot even begin to describe the amount of music I listened to this week.  The All-American Rejects, Fall Out Boy and Paramore?  This is what happens when you're re-stocking your iTunes, apparently you have nostalgiagasms when you come across the music you used to listen to in high school.

Songs Tally

1st tally for Fireworks, 1st tally for Detroit

Detroit - Fireworks

We pray for the worst things. Making presidential threats when the phone would ring to prove no one in the sky or behind the lines cares we're alive. Over-thinking again.

4th tally for The All-American Rejects, 1st tally for Her Name Rhymes With Mindy

Her Name Rhymes With Mindy - The All-American Rejects

I wrote this song to get you out of my mind but since I did, I think about you all the time. This is for the girl who defines beauty.

62nd tally for Blink-182, 1st tally for Boxing Day

Boxing Day - Blink-182

I'm empty like the day after Christmas.

15th tally for Brand New, 1st tally for The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot - Brand New

It hurts to hold on but it's missed when it's gone.  Call me a safe bet.  I'm betting I'm not.

1st tally for Shiny Toy Guns, 1st tally for Finale/Reprise

Finale/Reprise - Shiny Toy Guns

My dearest friend, if you don't mind, I'd like to join you by your side where we can gaze into the stars and sit together now and forever.  For it is plain as anyone can see, we're simply meant to be.

1st tally for Dropkick Murphys, 1st tally for I'm Shipping Up To Boston

I'm Shipping Up To Boston - Dropkick Murphys

This song is about a pirate going to Boston or something.  I already went through my Johnny Depp phase five or six years ago.  Sorry.

1st tally for Paramore, 1st tally for Emergency

Emergency - Paramore

I used to have a thing for Hayley.

I still kind of have a thing for Hayley.

42nd tally for All Time Low, 1st tally for Coffee Shop Soundtrack

Coffee Shop Soundtrack - All Time Low

I can keep a secret if you can keep me guessing. The flavor of your lips is enough to keep me here.

33rd tally for Say Anything, 1st tally for Skinny, Mean Man

Skinny, Mean Man - Say Anything

On your knees in his downtrodden shit-eating grin of a room. If only you'd meet me here soon. If only you'd start breathing, I'd court you exclusively.

5th tally for Fall Out Boy, 2nd tally for Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy

Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy - Fall Out Boy

You need him, I could be him. I could be an accident, but I'm still trying. That's more than I can say for him. Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman. Maybe, he won't find out what I know. You were the last good thing about this part of town

Songs of Summer 2012

Around a year ago, I did a post documenting the songs that defined my summer in 2011.  I thought it would be a cool thing to do another one for 2012 - now that summer is pretty much over.  Last year was a summer where I zoned in on a core group of songs and listened to them over and over again.  This year is a bit different. As you'll see in this post, I had quite a number of songs that stood out to me.  Different genres and artists, it's actually pretty diverse, which is kinda unique for me.  I think I prefer this summer's crop of songs over last year's.

Song of the Day

On a day where I added half a thousand songs on my iPod, none of them Fall Out Boy, Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy gets song of the day.  Go figure.

Tonight it's "It can't get much worse" vs. "No one should ever feel like."

Song(s) of the Day

Fantastic day.  I love doing new things, going out, experiencing life.  Another point for this summer, which has already GREATLY surpassed last year's.  The Pride parade was awesome and tons of fun.  Being with my favorite people and then grabbing a bite to eat was a blast, couldn't have asked for a cooler Sunday.  Okay, maybe I could ask for a COOLER one, because it was pretty hot out, but I knew it would be and it was nothing compared to the heat I encountered at the Blackhawks parade in 2010.  The amount of girls walking around in next to nothing was astounding to me, but I wasn't complaining.  I'll go again next year.  I woke up this morning and had Fall Out Boy stuck in my head, listened to some Taking Back Sunday on the way there and then I heard When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls while at the parade, but since I love Mayday Parade so much, the rest of the day was spent with me singing their version in my head instead.  Also heard Brand New on the way home and thus completed the music for me today.

Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part to Save the Scene and Stop Going to Shows) - Fall Out Boy

This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters.  I know this hurts, it was meant to.  Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one and it's mind over you don't, don't, don't, don't matter.

6th tally for Taking Back Sunday, 1st tally for You're so Last Summer

You're so Last Summer - Taking Back Sunday

Maybe I should hate you for this, never really did ever quite get that far.

4th tally for Brand New, 1st tally for Soco Amaretto Lime

Soco Amaretto Lime - Brand New

Tonight will go on forever while we walk around this town like we own the streets and stay awake through summer like we own the heat.

18th tally for Mayday Parade, 1st tally for When I Grow Up

When I Grow Up - Mayday Parade

When I grow up, I wanna see the world, drive nice cars, I wanna have boobies.
