Top 40 Albums (30-21)

I kick-started this series late last night, so if you're wondering where the first batch of albums are, click here. Got myself an afternoon and evening off with no work so I'm really thrilled to sit here watching football highlights, while writing this and listening to some of these great albums I'm raving about.  I'm not much for introductions, you all know what you're about to read about, so let's get right into it.

Song(s) of the Day

These were the songs that made me play over and over again while driving to and from work today.

Song of the Day Tally

8th tally for Taking Back Sunday, 3rd tally for Cute Without the 'E' (Cut From the Team)

Cute Without the 'E' (Cut From the Team) - Taking Back Sunday

Hoping for the best, just hoping nothing happens. A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins. I will never ask if you don't ever tell me, I know you well enough to know you never loved me. Why can't I feel anything from anyone other than you?

24th tally for All Time Low, 2nd tally for I Feel Like Dancin'

I Feel Like Dancin' - All Time Low

Everybody get, kind of, awesome.

25th tally for All Time Low, 2nd tally for Forget About It

Forget About It - All Time Low

You are a shining example of why I don't sleep at all.

Song of the Day

Hooray for kick-ass songs with awesome lyrics!

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.

Song of the Day Tally

1st tally for Fall Out Boy, 1st tally for Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part to Save the Scene and Stop Going to Shows)

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.

Song of the Day

I miss early Taking Back Sunday.

Song of the Day Tally

5th tally for Taking Back Sunday, 1st tally for This Photograph is Proof (I Know You Know)

This Photograph is Proof (I Know You Know) - Taking Back Sunday

I'll wait 'til you listen, I won't say a word.  To follow your instincts will just never work for me.  You're silent, but strong, yeah I'm playing that card and you're noticing nothing again.  Now I'm lying on the table with everything you said.  Keeping in mind the way that it felt when the most I could do was to just blame myself.

Song(s) of the Day

Nice guys finish last, boys and girls.

You're the reason things have to change.

We're all choir boys at best.

When there's no one there to hear you, the music will listen

Song(s) of the Day

Do you grin inside?  You're killing me.

Hoping for the best, just hoping nothing happens.  A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins.  I will never ask if you don't even tell me.  I know you well enough to know you never loved me.

Song of the Day

     Since it's 12 days until Christmas, I figure this could certainly be the song of the day.  Taking Back Sunday has always been a favorite of mine and their version of 12 Days of Christmas is absolutely hilarious to me.  The banter between Adam & Fred is fantastic.  It's a 6 minute song but it never feels long to me, it's just too phenomenal.  I love the holiday season, we're getting festive here in The Blog Ready by Nobody.
