28 A Song That Makes You Feel Guilty
27 Jun 2010The Rasmus – Guilty (Youtube)
I don’t think there are any songs that explicitly make me feel guilty. Maybe there should be, but that’s really for a another time.
Instead, have a slice of possibly the finest song by Finnish goth-poppers The Rasmus. I feel no shame in liking this. Or guilt! The irony is delicious.
27 A Song You Wish You Could Play
25 Jun 2010Daft Punk – Aerodynamic (Youtube, audio only)
Dude, can you even imagine playing these hot licks in public? You’d be like the king of… guitars. And synths. And life, basically. Riffs the size of the Eiffel Tower, coming out of your guitar. You’d be a hero.
What I’m essentially trying to say is that I would quite [...]

26 A Song You Can Play On An Instrument
23 Jun 2010Nirvana – The Man Who Sold The World (Youtube)
Yeah, I decided to get back on that whole 30 Days of Music thing. Seeing as how I got all the way up to day 25 I figured I’d best polish the shebang off. It’s rude to leave a shebang unfinished, after all.
As it happens, I’ve got [...]

25 A Song That Makes You Laugh
27 Apr 201030 Days of Music: Day 25
Morris Minor and the Majors – Stutter Rap (No Sleep Til Bedtime) (Youtube)
It’s a dangerous business, the parody record. There’s far too many of them out there, but this is one of the very few that actually make me laugh out loud.
It’s a dead on parody of the Beastie Boys [...]
24 A Song That You Want To Play At Your Funeral
24 Apr 201030 Days of Music: Day 24
Weezer – Only In Dreams (Youtube, audio only)
I guess this is something that’s meant to tumble off the top of your head, isn’t it? People always have funny or surreal answers for this, or incongruous tracks. Like Fire by Kasabian. Or Burn Baby Burn by Ash. Hilarious choices, I’m sure [...]

23 A Song That You Want To Play At Your Wedding
23 Apr 201030 Days of Music: Day 23
Utah Saints – Something Good
And it will be the first dance. The greatest song of the early nineties, and one of my favourite songs of all time. At my wedding. Oh, and make sure it’s the 12″ version, not the radio edit. And definitely not the abomination that is the [...]
22 A Song You Listen To When You’re Sad
In: 30 Days of Music
22 Apr 201030 Days of Music: Day 22
Blur – Out of Time (Youtube, audio only)
Another Blur track, after I featured No Distance Left To Run as a song that makes me sad at the beginning of this feature. Not quite sure why they’ve come up as another sad based track, and again this is sort of a [...]

21 A Song That You Listen To When You’re Happy
21 Apr 201030 Days of Music: Day 21
Level 42 – Something About You (Youtube)
Again with the cheating on this. I don’t listen to music as a result of my emotions; rather, music will usually be the thing affecting my mood, and that’s an entirely unpredictable thing.
A song that never fails to bring a smile to my face [...]

20 A Song That You Listen To When You’re Angry
19 Apr 201030 Days of Music: 20 A Song That You Listen To When You’re Angry
Limp Bizkit – Break Stuff (Youtube)
This is another cheat. I don’t tend to listen to music when I’m angry – or at the very least, I don’t seek out a particular track. Do people really do that? The idea of someone getting [...]
19 A Song From Your Favourite Album
18 Apr 201030 Days of Music: 19 A Song From Your Favourite Album
Daft Punk – Television Rules The Nation / Crescendolls (Youtube, audio only)
I’m going to go out on a limb here, and make what be a pretty bold statement: Alive 2007 is the greatest live album of all time. Yes, I said it. Better than Live [...]
