Songs & What You Like About 'Em

C
"Cosmopolitan Blood Loss" by Glassjaw.

I just love it.

We are the most impassioned ugly people.

"Creatures (for a While)" by 311.

This is my favorite 311 song. And I like a few parts...

I'm not used to it
You'd think I'd be by now

I wanna make a mess

&

It's something one won't understand
Unless they're in it with me hand and hand

"Composing" ... Boys Night Out

So come over to my house
Catch up over dinner...
We're having strychnine and sirloin
Port wine and paint thinner

The song is pretty creepy. It's about a guy going psychotic because of his girfriend's death. And it involves corpses...

Good song nevertheless.

And I like spelling things wrong.

"Counting Down The Hours" by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.

Ted Leo's voice is amazing and the beat makes you want to dance. And they mention Jersey!

On a dark wet night in April
on a street in Jersey where
I went looking for some writing
that I knew would not be there.

"Clocks" by Coldplay

Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease

I don't know. It sounds like something I've wondered before. But the song as a whole is a nice example of Coldplay's music.

"Deceptacon" by Le Tigre.

This song makes fun of NOFX, they were in a song war like all those rappers are always in. Gang-starrrr. And don't forget all the clapping! Once again danceable.

Linoleum floor, linoleum floor
you're lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor
I'll walk on it, I'll walk all over you

"Desensitized" by Green Day.

I wanna get ripped off
And drown in the airwaves
Another fatal wreck
On the information highway
So go ahead and kill yourselves
It all amuses me

Don't worry. I don't find suicide amusing. But! I do like the song. Lots.

"Dancing Through Sunday" - AFI

we dance in misery

I like it. I like when his voice gets high-pitched. And I like it.

"Drop Kick the Punks" by The Faint.

They count off in German in the beginning and they stop in the middle!

Eins, zwei, drei, vier, funf, sechs, sieben, acht,
visciouscounterpoperosionrevolution101.
Drop kick the punks,
we want a change.
Blasphame the pop,
call out the freaks
pay off the jockeys
and call the cops.
Cue up the news reporting cccccccompany trucks.

"Do You Like It?" by Our Lady Peace, also off Gravity.

It's too little too late
Well I can't escape
So I'm begging you please
I changed all the things that you told me to change
I'm on my knees

My favorite song off the album.

[tina]

"Endlessly" - Muse

Because it's Muse.

hopelessly, i'll love you endlessly
hopelessly, i'll give you everything
but i won't give you up

And unfortunately I have to go with my dad in like two seconds. It'll probably be finished when I get back.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

"Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence.

Without the mask, where will you hide
Can't find yourself, lost in your lie

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore

I like this song. And Fallen is a pretty good album.

[tina]

"Eryn Smith" - The Matches (Almost Erin)

I like this song. It is funny. It makes me laugh.

If you ever go down to Huntington
There is a girl there that is named Eryn
She's got ADD, but isn't bored with me
At least not yet, she said
---
She hacks her hair shorter on the left side
Cuz if you called her cute
She'd be horrified
---
You're the dimple in my cheeks
That I can't spit out
You're the smile in my eyes
That I can't cry out

et cetera et cetera...

"Eight of Nine" by The Ataris

El corazon was poisoned tonight.

Any English song with Spanish words rocks. But other than that...

It’s time that I made things right
For the first time since the last time
Let this moment of clarity
Lift this curse that has been cast upon me

[tina]

I don't wanna be the equivalent of a ball hog with the E songs here.

I'll let someone else take the last one. A'ight?
