day 09 - a song that you can dance to
Bend It by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich
I believe every song is a dance song, so it took a while to settle on this.
day 08 - a song that you know all the words to
Marry Me John by St. Vincent
As for me I would have to agree I’m as fickle as a paper doll. Being kicked by the wind, when I touch down again, I’ll be in someone else’s arms.
yesterday: 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event

day 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event
Standing on the platform waiting for a train back to L.A. A love at first sight experience actually having a follow-through.

Sir Psycho Sexy by Red Hot Chili Peppers
A thousand songs belong here, but this one is for Craig. One decade of ups and downs and adventures. He’s moving to Australia with his girlfriend which is a spontaneous of a move for a spontaneous man. As always, it feels right.
Suits and mohawks. Tight shirts and lady jeans. San Diego and Los Angeles. Australia. Best of luck to you both. See you in Australia.

Down By the Water by The Drums
Listening with big hair, a full circle skirt, and runny mascara. Perfect red lips, though.

Sunshine (ft. M.I.A.) by Rye Rye
The sun’s coming out more often (not like it ever disappears for long down here). It smells like love and ice cream and salt and sand again.
yesterday: 02 - your least favorite song

day 02 - your least favorite song
Butterfly by Crazy Town
I was thinking about putting this for day 13, guilty pleasure, but I was finding it hard to believe I derived pleasure from it.
Still, every time I hear this song, I feel the need to see it through to the end. That must mean something.

day 01 - your favorite song
Dancehall Queen by Robyn
I have everything laid out nice and neat in in a notecard with second-choices and a ‘Plan B’ for each song. I got tired of the deliberation and settled on the last song I played many times in a row for many days in a row.
I got this from Xiomara’s Plurk but it’s from What Will You Say?
I’m pretty certain I’m going to find it difficult wrestling with the concept of ‘all-time vs. right now.’ Hope you give some of these a try.
