The dejenerate Mix
It is time for the new soundtrack of my life. I actually made a full CD. Needed something to pump me up as I have felt rather discouraged of late. So here it is.
1.) "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap......I want to put some ketchup on this song and eat it. The sad thing is, I stumbled onto it on another blog and now it is the official season finale song from "The OC". Thus, I question my own musical taste.
2.) "What About Me" by Moving Pictures........Do you love a good 80's power ballad? Are you tired of giving 100% and getting a box of hair in return from life? Well, this is your song.
3.) "Vienna" by Ultravoxx........How did I not know this song existed until now? Mind Blowing!
4.) "Birthday" by the Sugarcubes........Bijork at vocal perfection. She is a genius and the the song is haunting and vocally experimental, yet melodic at the same time. I bow down to her.
5.) "Amazing Grace" by Ani Difranco.......Yes, I love sacred music, but this is on a whole new level.
6.) "Seasons of Love" from "Rent".........Like the movie version best, strictly for the solo at the end.
7.) "Trouble" by Coldplay..........Sad, yet.....no, just sad. But pretty.
8.) "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen.......This song will forever make me want to quit my job and school, flip everyone the finger, and run off into the sunset with the love of my life. You just feel all the cooler when Bruce is on.
9.) "The Food" by Common/Kanye.......Ummmmm. More ketchup please.
10.) "Shine" by David Gray.........It is crucial to have the live version of this song or all is lost. But live......I can conquer the world type shit.
11.) "Fallin" by De La Soul/Teenage Fanclub.........Does anyone remember the soundtrack to the movie this is from and all the initial mash-ups it had? (Yes, I know you do Jesi, as I stole it from you. So what was it called again?) But this one is gooood.
12.) "All the Things That I've Done" by the Killers.........The video killed this song, it should have been left as a hidden treasure that only those who had the album would know, but alas, can't argue a fine song such as this.
13.) "One" by U2/Mary J. Blige.........."Achtung Baby" was the first CD I ever owned and I used to listen to this song on repeat. Whoever had the initial idea to remake it with Mary should get a Grammy. Just for "Best Addition of an Artist Who Takes a Song to a Whole New Level of Mindblowingly Awesome". I wish I could pipe this one into Nomen's brain on a daily basis.
14.) "King Without a Crown" by Matisyahu.........So maybe his star crossed the sky quickly, but this song makes me want to get up in the morning. And I like the sacred stuff still.
15.) "Not Worried At All" by Moby..........Old school gospel meets delicate electro waves. Beautiful and inspiring, like Moby himself.
16.) "Tomorrow Wendy" by Concrete Blonde........OK, maybe not a huge pick me up, but some lovely vocals and insight.
17.) "They Don't Know About Us" by Tracy Ullman.......You know that one song that always comes on while you are at the grocery store that you would never admit to liking, but it makes you want to release the binding grip on the cart and spin through the aisles of the store? This is mine. I outted myself.
18.) "I Can" by Nas..........So the hook is mildly irritating, but everyone still sings along. And a great premise.
So that is where I'm at right now. Playing this in my car, my stereo, my computer, and my brain 24/7 to keep me going while it feels like a never ending battle of crap right now.
