My Hometown Really Is This Boring
That's right, folks, another meme.
Rules:
1. Have your music library ready.
2. Choose one song from your music library whose title starts with the first letter (or number) of your screen name.
3. Repeat this process with each successive letter (or number) in your screen name until you run out of letters (or numbers).
4. Post up your results.
5. BONUS POINTS: Upload your mix (whether it's individual songs or a .zip of all the the songs) and include the mix in your post.
S "Sao Paulo", Guillemots. I like this because it's twelve minutes long, every verse sounds like a chorus, it makes me want to go to a carnival and every time I hear it it makes me smile like a fool. Also, Guillemots are awesome live.
O "One Way Or Another", Blondie. Dodgy Coyote Ugly associations aside, this makes me want to dance on a bar. Like in Coyote Ugky... Damn.
P "Pressure Point", The Zutons. They are Scouse genii. That is all. Also, it gives me happy happy memories of V2005, and Leigh's beautiful rendition in the queue to meet Franz Ferdinand.
H "Hounds Of Love", The Futureheads. Much as I adore Kate Bush, this version just has better harmonies. Plus memories of dancing like an absolute retard in Underground.
I "I'm A Cuckoo", Belle & Sebastian. Possibly my favourite song from Dear Catastrophe Waitress. It sounds chirpy, but the lyrics are quite bitter, which is always fun.
E "Edge Of Seventeen", Stevie Nicks. Ahh, School Of Rock. How I love thee. Especially when Joan Cusack gets tipsy and sings this song.
I "I Wanna Be Sedated", The Ramones. Sometimes, you just want to pogo and shake your hair around.
S "Song 2", Blur. Known to many a six year old in 1994 simply as "WOOOO HOOOOOO!"
G "Guns Of Brixton", The Clash. When they kick at your front door/ How you gonna come? With your hands on your head/ Or on the trigger of your gun? Also, it's the song that Jess writes out the lyrics to and then makes Rory guess in S2 Gilmore Girls.
O "Older Chests", Damien Rice. Beautifully morose, as ever.
D "Defying Gravity", Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth. Shut up. I love musicals, alright? And I'm going to see Wicked in less than a week! Please don't piss on my bonfire of joy.
I can't do the zip yet, because I'm on my sister's laptop, but I'll do it when I get back to uni. Also, Northanger Abbey tonight, woop! Actually, I was reading the Observer Magazine, and they had a little piece on JJ Feild, but they spelled it 'Field'. Fools.
