amanda...throws acorns with surprising accuracy

lately i haven't been thinking too much about music. well, i always think about music, but i haven't been thinking too much about new music. anyways, i have found some songs lately that make me so happy my brain wants to explode.

this post is brought on because tonight i'm updating the 'ol ipod for my roadtrip this weekend. i was thinking about it, and i really don't think that the people i'm travelling with are going to appreciate my taste in music. i have a feeling i'm going to be stuck listening to lame-ass crap like nickelback or something. shitters. oh well. it's not going to stop me from trying to pump out some bangin' tunes and blow out the minivan speakers with my awesomeness.

i think winning my audience over slowly with some moderately acceptable music first, will gain their trust enough for me to listen to things that i really want to hear. for example. i'll start out slow, with some things everyone likes. a little forrest gump soundtrack. nobody can resist oldies. then, maybe some top 40. even old farts can't help but dance to some justin timberlake or kelly clarkson. and after they all think they're safe, i go for the shock and awe and attack like a round of friendly fire by busting out a little ted nugent. what's that? yeah, i went there.

i think the scissor sisters might have to come out of hiding as well. nothing makes amanda more fun than a little 'take your momma out'. unless it's 'gypsies tramps and theives'.

did i mention that i bought four cd's today? i think i need to go to bed, before i do more damage.

favourite songs of the day that you need to check out(in no particular order):
pete yorn - the man
death cab for cutie - marching bands of manhattan
scissor sisters - i don't feel like dancin'
stellastarr* - sweet troubled soul
stars - set yourself on fire
gnarles barkley - smiley faces
interpol - public pervert (carlos d remix)
the like - what i say and what i mean
the new pornographers - the bones of an idol
wolf parade - secret knives

that is. all.

  • You know, you are the only reason I listen to any cool music. I was hoping you would send me a new list. And now, I don't have to beg.

  • no problem - a few songs on here are kind of eccentric though, so don't feel bad if you don't like them. cause i'm weird, i like some weird songs.
