Shuffletastic Wednesday

1. Louis Loon - Barenaked Ladies. From one of Micah's CDs. Not bad but not my favorite from the album.
2. Excerpt from Suite for Strings and ... (something else that gets cut off) - Georg Phillip Telemann. Love me some baroque.
3. West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys. This one takes me back to clubbing in Okinawa. And parties at our house in Okinawa. And road trips all over the place. And watching TJ dance to this song. Good memories.
4. You Only Love Once - The Strokes. Nice song.
5. Too Deep - Linda Perry. I like the majority of the songs on this album. It was her solo debut, I believe, after leaving 4 Non-Blondes. This is a pretty deep CD and I like her voice quite a bit.

Stroll Down Memory Lane

I completely forgot about this blog! And I probably will again sometime soon. But until then, here's today's shuffle.

1. We Belong - Pat Benetar. Not one of my favorites but it always makes me feel good when I hear her voice. And really sad at the same time since she once was the Queen of Rock and now plays county fairs.
2. They're Red Hot - Red Hot Chili Peppers. Super short and I have no idea what the hell the lyrics are and have no desire to find out.
3. Miracle Man - Elvis Costello. Any song from this album (My Aim is True) remind of of some of the good times from knowing my father when I was growing up. This is a definite "Feel Good" album. This one and Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf for the same reason.
4. You're Always Pulling Me Down - UB40. This song - the whole album, really - makes me think of all of the great road trips TJ and I have had. We drove, just about every year for ten years, round trip from Boise to Milwaukee and this CD was present for each and every trip. Road trips have always been great for us with lots of great conversation, bonding, and music.
5. Fighter Girl - Mason Jennings. Thanks to Erin, I've been exposed to a whole new world of music and artists. Micah and I have had lots of fun singing along to this song on the ride home from school.

Awesomest Song Lyrics.....

First of all, yes, I said "awesomest" to make Cheri cringe....but I regress. I was just sitting in my boring ass cube wondering how I ended up here instead of being the best chick indie-rock star EVER, (oh yeah, because my voice scares animals & small children). So, I decided to put a question out there:

What is your favorite song lyric ever? Write the lyric and give the artist and song. I guess you can have more than one but be reasonable. I have about a million and if I have to narrow it down so do you.....so come on, post already!

Teri - Feelin It Friday

My best variety so far!

1. (Till) I Kissed You - The Everly Brothers - The Very Best of the Everly Brothers. Ugh, I'm mortified. Yes, I admit it, I'm a closet Everly Brothers fan. I was raised on it, so bite me.
2. Borrowed Time - Styx - Greatest Hits, Part 2. Love the classics.
3. Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven - Bryan Adams - Waking Up The Neighbors. Meh, I could live without this one, but I don't hate it enough to delete it.
4. Hells Bells - AC/DC - Back in Black. Man I miss high school. Wait, who am I kidding? I hated school, just liked the parties.
5. Raise the Barn - Keith Urban with Brooks & Dunn - Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing. Love my country hottie.

I have known for quite some time that Cheri, my boss (who shall remain nameless), and myself have never quite grown up. We are the only one’s to laugh in meetings when someone says, “the member was very firm on the phone,” or when Cheri said, “I can’t eat a whole foot-long-that’s too much for me…” Yep, we are adolescents. And, while I feel truly sorry for our spouses, I still think we are damn funny. Hence my thoughts when I read Teri’s “hump day” shuffle list…..I began to wonder, does everyone have a sex mix on there I-Pod playlists or is it just me? I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours?

Erino’s Hump-Day I-Mix (a sample):
Feelin’ Love (Paula Cole) This is the ULTIMATE get in the mood song for us chickies-just makes you wanna…………well, fuck;)
One More Night (Stars) This one is a bit disturbing but makes me feel good cause’ it’s about a girl getting one last piece before leaving her man and breaking his heart-makes me feel good, prolly cause’ it happened to me with the first asshole I loved…
1st Day of My Life (Bright Eyes) If a guy ever sang something like this to me he’d get lucky for sure…..well, before I had my husband, of course;)
Use Somebody (Kings of Leon) This one is good for slightly-still-angry make up sex
Halo-(Beyonce) Yeah, it is cheesy, but for the 6 minutes the sex generally lasts it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside
Fidelity (Regina Spektor) For some reason, Regina’s music just makes me feel beautiful, not sure why. I play this when I’m getting ready to go out somewhere special and I forget about the fact that you put knick-knacks on my ass, at least while the song plays out.

HOW DOES THIS SHIT GET ON MY I-POD?

Okay, seriously-I think my i-pod is possessed or something. I kept my pod on shuffle this afternoon and have heard the following suck-ass songs that I KNOW I did not put on here:

Night Fever (Bee Gees) Yeah, okay-I may get arguments on this but the Bee Gees truly are terrible…

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (Mason Jennings) Wow, don’t know where this came from..

Home (Michael Buble) If I listened to this whiney-ass song all the way through I would have to kill myself

Rocky Mountain Rain (Ronnie Milsap) Who the fuck is Ronnie Milsap?!

Gangstas Need Love Too (Master P) Ok, maybe P was cool like 10 years ago but seriously-what do you think would happen if I stood up in my cubical and screamed, “MAKE EM’ SAY UUUUUUHHHH!”

When The Children Cry (White Lion) Wow, talk about wanting to slit your wrists…

Faithfully (Journey) Alright, there are like 15 Journey songs on my i-pod and I can’t stand Journey-I have tried deleting them out of my computer and they creep back-it’s kind of eerie!!

Yay It's Friday Shuffle

1. Gimme Shelter - Angelique Kidjo featuring Joss Stone - Djin Djin. Very different cover of the old Rolling Stones song.
2. You Don't Know What Love Is - The White Stripes - Icky Thump. Good song. Good CD.
3. Geraldine - Glasvegas - Geraldine (free iTunes download of the week.) I love this song. I love me some social workers and Geraldine is a social worker. "I will be the angel on your shoulder. My name is Geraldine and I'm your social worker."
4. The Nearness of You - Norah Jones - Come Away with Me. I think I already had this one come up in an earlier shuffle. I still love it.
5. Wasted - Brandi Carlile - The Story. Nice song. Not country sounding, more folky/pop. Nice.

And that's all for this week. I think the first week of shuffling went very well. Come on back now, ya' hear?
