Space ft. Cerys Matthews: Ballad of Tom Jones

April 30, 2007

This is so gimmicky, but I have good memories of the time when it was a hit. Also, Cerys is my girl.

Spin Doctors: Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong

Spin Doctors: Two Princes

April 30, 2007

I don’t even know if I like this song, but it reminds me of sitting in World History class when I was 15, singing it with Karri and Karen. Oh my gosh, we’re old.

Son Volt: Drown

April 30, 2007

I’ve never heard any other songs by Son Volt, but when I was a teenager, I remember driving around just wishing so hard that this song would come on the radio. (If someone had told me about mp3s and YouTube back then, I would have been even more pissed off about it still being the ’90s.)

Lee Majors: The Unknown Stuntman

April 30, 2007

I’ve never spent much time in school / But I’ve taught ladies plenty… My little brother and I absolutely LOVED The Fall Guy, and we HAD to be in front of the TV every Wednesday night in time to sing along to the theme song. (Thanks to Joe for having this on his iPod and blasting it in the car last night.)

Garbage: Stupid Girl

April 30, 2007

My most vivid memory of this is dancing to it at my brother’s wedding, New Year’s Eve 1996. All the other girls were singing “Stupid boy,” which I must have rolled my eyes at, or would have if I hadn’t been so stinking drunk.

Garbage: Queer

April 30, 2007

It’s hard to pick my favorite Garbage song, but this one might be it.

Philip Glass: Violin Concerto No 2

April 29, 2007

I loooooove this one, which one of my ex-boyfriends and I used to listen to obsessively. How cool that someone’s matched the music with Kate Moss stripping (originally from the White Stripes video she did)! I have no idea when this was composed.
