I'm not sure if y'all have seen the page on FB, but I finally finished the 30 Songs in 30 Days Challenge. I'm going to go ahead and post them all here because it makes it easier than to scroll through my entire page. Every now and then, I'll throw in a music and/or travel post just for the hell of it. Why not? So without further ado, here are the songs. Feel free to look them up...or I can post them here if you really want to see them.
Let's go backwards...
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 30 - Your favorite song at this time last year
I can't even remember what I liked last year...so I'm just going to pick something random.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 29 - a song from your childhood
My childhood memories consisted of a lot of different music. My parents liked the 50s stuff and my brother liked all those 80s hair metal bands...I'm going to go with the first tape I ever picked up as a kid.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 28 - a song that makes you feel guilty. This album is so damn catchy. It's probably my favourite album so far this year.
There's a line about waiting til the guilt consumes...

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 27 - A song that you wish you could play. I can't think of any face melters right now but I know there's that one Coheed and Cambria song that stumps my friends on Rock Band so I'll say that one. Yeah, that one.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 26 - a song that you can play on an instrument.
I've been meaning to learn how to play guitar...unless Hot Cross Buns on the accordian counts. I'll put a song that I want to learn how to play once I get a guitar. I have such a crush on him...I wonder when his next album is coming out, it's been far too long.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh. It took me awhile to get into this show but it is pretty freakin' hilarious. This ong in particular makes me laugh.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 24 - A song that you want to play at your funeral. Followed closely by Wilco's "On and On and On," Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" and Slow Club's "When I Go." As you can tell I thought a lot about this...
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 23 - A song that you want to play at your wedding.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad. This song cheers me up whenever I feel sad, seriously. Thank you, Michael Stipe.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you’re happy. Jonah is one of my favourite singers...this song never disappoints. Hooray R2! Jonah can be my co-pilot any day of the week. Love him.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you’re angry.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 19 - A song from your favorite album. I have so many favourite albums. I'm trying to change things up a bit so let's do a current favourite album. This is where I got my username on AIM. Great band...one of my favourite Swedish bands of all time.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio. I would rather use "Flaky Wife" because of the lyrics, "I'd like to stab you but I'm feeling nice" but this one will have to do.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 17 - A song that you hear often on the radio.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hate. I don't really hate it but I'm kind of over it because this song is everywhere.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 15 - A song that describes you. Mainly the chorus and a few other things...
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 14 - A song that no one expects you to love. I have some of those as well...but here's one that gets me every time. It's super catchy too.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure. Oh man, I know the indie rock snob in me will probably cringe but I do have some guilty pleasure skeletons in my closet. One that I can readily admit to having is this one. It also reminds me of dancing along to it with a certain boy...and how we'd make fun of the silly lyrics.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 12 - A song from a band you hate. Creed and Nickelback are pretty high on the band I hate wagon...They're so bad I'm posting a parody instead. Yeah...

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 11 - A song from your favorite band. I have several favourite bands and I've already used my two (Radiohead and Wilco) so I'm going to change it up a bit and post my favourite band fronted by a female singer. (It's a toss up between Metric and Portishead honestly).
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep
30 Day Song Challenge- Day 9 - A song you can dance to. There are many songs that I like to dance to (not very well I might add) but this one just reminds me of spending carefree Thursday nights at Popscene and dancing with Kali Moxoo, my sis, brother, Quiet Lee, Dolly Keeley, Michael Keeley and co. It's amazing that this song is already dated. :(
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 8 - A song you know all the words to. Filmed in San Leandro!!! I nerded out by going to the diner to see where Radiohead sat and then met a girl who's mom played the waitress in the video. Lucky waitress! OK, on to the video.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day/Song 7 - A song that reminds you of a certain event. This song reminds me of birthdays and parties. "Oh eff it, I'm going to have a party..."
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 6 - A song that reminds you of a place. It reminds me of wandering Chicago with my pals Amol and Kristine. We had lots and lots of fun there. I need to go back.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 5 - A song that reminds you of someone. There are many songs that remind me of people, but this is one that reminds me of good times with a certain someone. He knows who he is...
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 4 - A song that makes you sad. I like a lot of sad bastard music but this is the first one that came to mind. I know there are probably more that I'll think of later. Jimmy Eat World does a good cover of this.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 3 - A song that makes you happy. Award goes to best long title too. How can you not smile listening to Beulah. I believe they're local too. I'm going to stop gushing now.
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 2 - Least Favorite Song
30 Day Song Challenge - Day 24 - A song that you want to play at your funeral. Followed closely by Wilco's "On and On and On," Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" and Slow Club's "When I Go." As you can tell I thought a lot about this...

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 23 - A song that you want to play at your wedding.
Oh man, a song to play at a wedding. It's always tough to choose music anyway. Let's go with this cover. I also like the 6ths' "You, You, You, You, You" a lot.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you’re angry.
I remember the first time I saw this video on 120 Minutes and I was absolutely floored. I turned one of my hardcore loving friends onto this band. It's the only band we both agree on. "Can I scream?"

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 17 - A song that you hear often on the radio.
It's been old school lately for some reason...this reminds me of high school, hipsters and emo kids. It's still one of my favourite albums today. I was on the cusp of the hipness of Weezer before they got huge. I still have the Weezines and hand written lyrics from back in the day.

Sigur Ros tends to put me in a sleepy mood. They're one of my favourite bands of all time though. Their most recent album is much more upbeat though. :)

Also, it came on my Pandora station today and it made me think back to those happy times.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 2 - Least Favorite Song
I have many but one of those bands that drives me nuts is Fall Out Boy. This video has quite funny lyric interpretations. What the hell is he saying anyway?

Day 1- Since I have so many favourite songs for the 30 Day Song Challenge, I'm choosing the most played in my iTunes. This is a really good cover. She has a sweet voice.
