mixtape

anyone who knows me, knows that i LOVE music. i wish that i could have a soundtrack made of my life. in fact, if we are ever sharing the same network and you have access to my itunes you can see the soundtracks i've created for different periods of my life. i'd love for music to play in the background of different fun/crucial/romantic/intense/powerful moments of my life...i think it would add a little something

as far as i know that won't be happening anytime soon, so in the mean time i found this cool idea on josh's blog.

so here is what you do:

1. scan through your itunes or cd library. refamiliarize yourself with the nooks and crannies of your musical options.
2. identify five categories — genres, if you will — of music. these should be as obscure and finely-articulated as you’d like. feel free to use modifiers liberally.
3. nominate — select, really — a “perfect song” for each category. include a link for each song to something (the amazon page for the CD, or the artist’s website, or whatever). you may find it easier, as i did, to find “perfect songs”, and craft categories or genres around them.
4. ideally, some of the songs will be nominally obscure, or, at least, not completely mainstream and overplayed. no need to tell us all about songs we all know!

So…let’s get on with it. I give you the perfect song for…

"the walk to your girlfriends house after realizing that you made a mistake and have to go and apologize to her" I Go To The Barn Because I Like The by Band of Horses

"drinking yourself silly (no i don't believe in drunkeness, but I can imagine that this would be a good song for it) after your girl breaks up with you" Light Up The Room by Mumm-Ra

"strutting...preferably through a trendy european city (i.e. Prague) on a friday night in the bar district" We Used To Be Friends by The Dandy Warhols

"stalking someone" Goodnight and Go by imogen heap

"looking out of the window of a train as you ponder life, love, and the world" Orange Sky by Alexi Murdoch

while i wasn't tagged for this by anyone like in the other blogs, i'm still going to tag a couple people:

kyle
aubrey
jessica red

kyle, aubrey, jess: you're it.
