30 Days of Music is Over!
That’s it then folks … Show’s over. Wait, what’s that? There’s a bit more yet? Because Alex is too lazy to produce new content? Welcome to the afterparty. Tomorrow, I’ll be throwing up a guest-blog by one of my eloquent comrades every couple of hours. And, no doubt, mercilessly promoting it. Facebook, be ready. I also thought I’d just throw up a complete song-choices and links post, for completeness’ sake. I’m aware that no-one ever comments, but I implore you (not just for my ego, mostly for my ego) to give some feedback. Favourite post? Worst choice? Best type of post (I worked out the other day they split into about the song / mini-essay on related topic / autobiographical)? You don’t have to sign up or nuthin’ and it would help me know my strengths. Without further ado, the countdown…. day 30 – your favorite song at this time last year Kate Bush – Wuthering Heights day 29 – a song from your childhood Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons – December, 1963 day 28 – a song that makes you feel guilty The Long Blondes – Only Lovers Left Alive day 27 – a song that you wish you could play Tenacious D – Hug Her Gently* day 26 – a song that you can play on an instrument John Cage – 4’33” day 25 – a song that makes you laugh Ludacris – Cry Babies (Oh No) day 24 – a song that you want to play at your funeral Radiohead – Videotape day 23 – a song that you want to play at your wedding Pulp – Common People day 22 – a song that you listen to when you’re sad The Smiths – I Know It’s Over day 21 – a song that you listen to when you’re happy Kenickie – Classy day 20 – a song that you listen to when you’re angry Los Campesinos! – We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed day 19 – a song from your favorite album Radiohead – Idioteque day 18 – a song that you wish you heard on the radio Emmy the Great – Canopies & Grapes day 17 – a song that you hear often on the radio Big Boi – Shutterbugg**day 16 – a song that you used to love but now hate Maximo Park – Apply Some Pressure day 15 – a song that describes you Britney Spears – Circus day 14 – a song that no one would expect you to love Gallows – Orchestra of Wolves day 13 – a song that is a guilty pleasure My Chemical Romance – Welcome To The Black Parade day 12 – a song from a band you hate Death in Vegas – Scorpio Rising (feat.
