one song a day: song twenty-nine| favorite song at this time last year

This is where my memory fails. But I'm pretty sure I had Gogol Bordello in heavy rotation last fall. So I'm going to make an educated guess that this was my favorite song from roughly the same time last year. I love these guys.

one song a day: song twenty-nine| song from your childhood

The Little Mermaid was the first movie my parents took me to see when I was little and it was where I fell in love with animation and remains one of my favorite animated features to this day (though, Ariel loses out to Belle when it comes to favorite Disney movies).

I wish I had known this song existed before we got hitched. This totally would have been played and I would have done a happy dance along to this beautiful song. I suppose I could stretch heritages to get it to apply to Matt + me. Since his lineage stretches back to English roots and mine tread along French Canadian lines.

one song a day: song twenty-one | song that you listen to when you’re happy

This song always makes me happy; despite the topic. It's just kind of pop-y, fun and I love the guitar.

The video make me even happier, as it's another work of art by the owner of my life right now, Edgar Wright.

Can I move to England now, pls?

one song a day: song twenty | song that you listen to when you’re angry

For some reason, the songs I listen to when I'm angry are these really march-y songs. Because it was between this and Green Day's "Holiday". But Frank pulled ahead, perhaps because of the fiddle (or guitar breakdown in this live version). That and he played this song live, dedicating it to Ben Franklin.



So if ever a man should ask you for your business or your name
Tell him to go and fuck himself, tell his friends to do the same.
Because a man who'd trade his liberty for a safe and dreamless sleep
Doesn't deserve the both of them, and neither shall he keep.

one song a day: song nineteen | song from your favorite album

I love Raise the Dead, it is possibly my favorite Phantom Planet album (it runs neck and neck with the self-titled). But for as long as I've loved them, I didn't get to see them live until 2008, a few weeks before I got married. They were the first opening act for Panic At The Disco. They only played about 5 songs on stage, including this one—which wasn't even a single at the time. I about lost my freakin' mind.

At the merch table after their set, I got to meet the guys and Alex cued me in to a post-Panic show out by the tour bus. And sure enough, after the headliner, Alex came out and took requests from the dedicated Phantom Planet fans gathered outside the Gordon Fieldhouse. It was like a camp singalong... only with way more awesome.

Go see Scott Pilgrim VS The World. Now. It's amazing, it deserves happiness and I want to cover Bryan Lee O'Malley (for creating it) and Edgar Wright (for making it such an awesome movie) in kisses forever.

one song a day: song seventeen | song that you hear often on the radio

I don't listen to much local radio, mainly because I find fake-DJ-voice insufferable. I occasionally listen to WBER, but usually if I'm in the mood for music, I've got my iPhone plugged into the car. However, I am a public radio addict. I love it. It's the only balanced news source out there and the non-news programming is awesome (much love to This American Life!). So this is the best clip I could find to support that.

one song a day: song sixteen | song that you used to love but now hate

I was one of those crazy girls who saw Titanic 10+ times in high school. My Leonardo DiCaprio love knew no bounds. I used to tune into the radio, hoping, praying that they'd play the remix of this song with lines from the movie in it. If I had to listen to this song from start to finish now? I'd never stop screaming.

one song a day: song fifteen | song that describes you

Well, this is a problem. The song that best describes me already holds the "Day One" spot. But it's kind of the best fit and I wouldn't feel honest putting anything else here. So, I'm going to put it, but I'll put a secondary, so there's a bit of something new with the entry.



Okay, so another one. Nearly as good, but not as fitting as Frank. Hm. You know what.. no. Nothing else is holding up. So yeah, enjoy the live version.

one song a day: song fourteen | song that no one would expect you to love

Of the Golden Age of American musicals, this is my favorite (and apparently it's Seth McFarlane's favorite too—songs often making appearances in episodes of Family Guy). Watching Harold Hill as he charms and cons an entire town echos everything from politics to advertising. Creating false problems so that you can offer the solution (at a cost, of course). And while what he's doing is so devious in nature, you can't help but admire his cunning—even if it's through song. Every time I see someone on the right give a speech, I can't help but think of Harold Hill (though, with far less flair).

one song a day: song eleven | song from your favorite band

Phantom Planet has been my favorite band since... early college? Must be, this video is circa 2002. Anyway, Lonely Day was the first Phantom Planet song I ever heard and it sent me on the quest to track down the album and started my SoCal power pop obsession.

This video got my all nostalgic: since both JB and Jason were still in the band when this was made.
