Something off of Fuck Bitches. Get Euros a LONG time ago. I think it was I Fucking Bleed Purple & Gold....

30. What is you favorite song by 8? Manchester Orchestra
I could never choose. Manchester Orchestra is simply incredible.

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? Iron & Wine
Zero. I'm not sure if I'd want to see them live, either. Maybe if it was a really intimate setting, but they're too big for that.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? Sigur Ros
Gobbledigook

33. How did you get into 12? Ivory
The Maine used the song Beat, Beat in one of their videos and I was hooked. I couldn't find the song anywhere so I found Ivory on myspace, emailed the lead singer asking him about it, and he emailed me the mp3 for free and was so nice. I bought all the Ivory I could get my hands on afterwards and ever since I've been hooked. Too bad they're no moe'

34. What is the worst song by 45? The Secret Handshake
There's a lot of those...

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? Broken Social Scene
Anthems For A Seventeen-year-old Girl
It took me a long time to get into them though. I'm pretty sure I heard it on Bowdoin's radio station way way back in the day.

36. What is the first song you ever heard by 48? MGMT
Time to Pretend
It was a free download on ITunes back in the day. I just lost major hipster points because of that answer.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live? Breathe Carolina
I almost did on Warped last year, but I was front row for Alexisonfire, and there was no way I was leaving early.

38. What is you favorite song by 36? Andrew Bird
I honestly have no idea. I'm literally always fast asleep every time he pops up on my sleep playlist.

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? Jonny Craig
Istillfeelher, Part 111 ....just like the rest of the world

40. What is you favorite album by 7? Kings of Leon
Because of the Times
On Call+Knocked Up > Sex on Fire (only by a little bit though)

41. Is there a song by 33 that makes you happy? Emarosa
It's Cold In The Shade, Let's Move To The Sun...
I guess the title makes me happy more than the song in general.

42. What is your favorite album by 41? The Shape of the Earth
Whichever album Epilogue is on. That song is singlehandedly put this band in my top fitty.

43. What is your favorite song by 24? Pierce the Veil
She Makes Dirty Words Sound Pretty (feat. Jonny Craig)
This was my top track for soooo loooong

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? Sam Hart
He single-handedly re-kindled my obsession with Mario Kart.

45. What is your favorite song by 35? Chiodos
A Letter From Janelle (Acoustic Version)
That was before I realized Craigery Owens sounds like a pitchy 14 year old girl and moved on with my life though.

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you sad? All Time Low
Lullabies
After I became aware of what this song is actually about, it took on a whole new meaning. So intensely sad.

The Hazards of Love

Lyrics Game

30 Dec 2009, 21:31 by d0llparts

I did one of these exactly one year ago, so I figured it was time for a new one. :)

Step 1: Put iTunes on random.

Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 50 songs that play.

Step 3: Strike out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.

1. Mother Mary, bury me in a place they'll never find.

2. Tonight the cinema's the treatment clinic where the perverts seek the cure.

3. I've got a million things going 'round in my head and I never really paid attention to what you said.

4. I can't tolerate your sadness cause it's me you are drowning.

5. It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank.

6. I know you want to love her for the rest of your life, but man, this woman, her intentions ain't right.

7. Please tell me why we couldn't stay, don't let this feeling ever go away.

~~8. God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of spring time.~~

9. Oh, oh, I really wanted that thing. I just want to sing.

10. Park my van on the Pacific shore.

11. Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots and ruined your black tie affair.

12. When panic grips your body and your heart's a hummingbird

13. So go on and I will refrain and I'll keep on running this never ending race.

14. Old world underground, where are you now?

15. Well I'm back out on the road again lost among the city lights.

16. My shadow's shedding skin.

17. I have called you children, I have called you son.

18. I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph.

19. Skip town, slow down, push it to the east coast.

~~20. I'm on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move.~~

21. Downhearted man, where do you come from?

22. Scratch the tears in for good, sadist, feels good.

23. He comes, he comes, judge so severe.

24. I can't remember anything, can't tell if this is true or a dream.

25. Failed attempts have turned us into one pathetic twisted wreck.

26. Hey boy, take me off the radar.

27. This is my life, it's not what it was before.

28. Throw away the radio suitcase that keeps you awake.

29. Hey see I know what I know and I don't. You promise you promise and I know you won't.

30. Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and take the pain away.

31. Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have

32. My rhyme ain't good just yet, my brain and tongue just met.

33. Annie's 12 years old, in 2 more she'll be a whore.

34. White glow on the TV set, lights dancing on the screen.

35. Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight.

36. It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside.

37. This is the story about a circle of women.

38. She packed my bags last night pre-flight.

39. His head was a city of paper buildings.

40. I heard the door slam and I couldn't tell, was it just the wind or was she mad again, aw hell.

41. When you're ripe, you'll bleed out of control.

42. I'm a sailor peg and I lost my leg.

43. I've got this thing about you now. I tried to understand, but baby let me show you how

44. You went into the kitchen cupboard, got yourself another hour.

45. They say it fits if you let it.

~~46. Your lipstick, his collar, don't bother angel.~~

47. I wanna thank myself for being so hard on myself.

48. What we're doing is so wrong and what you're wearing is so right, it's so tight.

49. Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Hangman, go get your rope.

50. Crown myself the prince of buzz

Most loved ones of the decade

27 Dec 2009, 23:00 by milanello

It was very hard to limit the list down to 15 albums since there were tons of amazing albums in 2000's but I managed to do it finally. Once again I had a self imposed rule that no more than 1 album per band. Here it goes:

A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms (2000)
Opeth - Blackwater Park (2001)
Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (2002)
Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane (2002)
Kings of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street (2004)
Breaking Benjamin - We Are Not Alone (2004)
City and Colour - Sometimes (2005)
dredg - Catch Without Arms (2005)
Poets of the Fall - Signs of Life (2005)
John Mayer - Continuum (2006)
Fair to Midland - Fables From a Mayfly: What I Tell You Three Times is True (2007)
Metallica - Death Magnetic (2008)
Animals as Leaders - Animals As Leaders (2009)
Freak Kitchen - Land of the Freaks (2009)
Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition (2009)

Even though I said there's no particular order, I think Blackwater Park was THE best album of this decade...

The most important bands of the decade for me were:
Opeth
Riverside
Freak Kitchen

There are many more albums that I wanted to put in this list but I didnt want to make a big list so I put the ones that I enjoyed the most.

Cheers!

You're the pretender

6. What's your favorite album from #10 (Atreyu)?

- My god, there's so many. The Tavern and every memory made there. Standing at the front of every show. Riding back from one of said shows, in a 98 Eclipse, going over 100 for some unknown reason, but he was in the back seat with me holding my hand while The Search was playing.

16. Where did you first hear #6 (Radiohead)?
- I... borrowed, my friends OK Computer CD. Couldn't get enough after that.

17. How long was #19 (Slipknot) a band before you liked them?

- I don't know about happy. If only these last two questions were reversed, lol.

25. Does #23 (School for Heroes) have a song that makes you smile?

- Nope.

30. What song got you into #40 (Stone Temple Pilots)?

31. What is your favorite single by #25 (Marilyn Manson)?

- Meh, not really.

- 41 times, according to my charts.

38. How many CDs do you own of #30 (Primer 55)?
- None, only a few random Mp3s.

39. Is there a song from #38 (Mindless Self Indulgence) that makes you mad?
- Not mad, no. It's hard to place an emotion to these guys. The lyrical content is sometimes dark, but the music is always... bouncy? I don't know how you would describe that, lol.

40. Which member from #31 (Rage Against the Machine) do you want to see go solo?
- Um, none. I want to see them get back together.

41. What does your favorite song from #3 (Deftones) remind you of?

- I'm sure she has at one point in time.
