srah blah blah

Here are the songs on my list. As you may have read, I was pretty much a nerd in high school and listened to a lot of oldies music. Even the "current" music I listened to was usually a couple of years out of date. So there's an interesting mix of music that was big in the '90s and music that was somewhat well-known in the '60s. I got together my old mix tapes and put together one mix of songs from those tapes that a) I still like and b) I have in mp3 form. Here they are:

1. The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get - Morrissey - This is probably more of an 8th grade song, but I was obsessed with it because the guy I had a crush on in middle school once said he liked Morrissey.
2. Stay - Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories - Is this on everyone's track list??
3. Just Walk Away Renee - Left Bank - I have no idea what the lyrics to this song are. But I always liked it.
4. Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden - For some reason I remember watching the video for this song in one of my 8th grade Engineering classes.
5. Tennessee - Arrested Development - Arrested Development is awesome. Both Arrested Developments.
6. Plush - Stone Temple Pilots - I needed a Stone Temple Pilots song and this is one I had!
7. Linger - the cranberries - The cranberries remind me of Roommate.
8. Downtown - Petula Clark - I think this one dates back to a 1995 mix.
9. In My Life - The Beatles - This one reminds me of reading romance novels at Robin's.
10. Satellite - Dave Matthews Band - This one reminds me of the time Robin and Cheryl and I painted Robin's room.
11. An Old Fashioned Love Song - Three Dog Night - I love Three Dog Night!
12. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey - Paul McCartney & Wings - I remember hearing this one on the radio and wondering who would be strange enough to write a song about a butter pie. Paul McCartney, that's who!
13. 98.6 - Keith - I think we're moving into 1996 now.
14. The 13th - The Cure - Yup.
15. Lemon Tree - Fool's Garden - I bought this CD when I went to France in the summer of '96.
16. Standing outside a broken phonebooth with money in my hand - Primitive Radio Gods - This song is still awesome.
17. Go All The Way - The Raspberries - Naughty.
18. Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin - Murder and mayhem are swingin', yo.
19. All I Want - Toad the Wet Sprocket - I've always loved the alliteration in the line "The air outside's so soft, confessing everything"
20. Tubthumping - Chumbawamba - Dude! Song o' the '90s!
