Music to Kill to
When I ride around with Bobby, his truck has no CD player, nor even a tape player, so we are stuck with the radio. I've found that he usually ends up with it on this hip-hop station most of the time. Now I've never been fond of this kind of music, but I had managed to avoid it heretofore at least enough not to realize they only ever have like three songs in their rotation. There's the song where every line ends in "me" (oh now there's a clever rhyme), the one where 80% of the lines are "go 'head girl get down," and the one where the singer is talking about the slimey ass pickup lines he uses (though in context he acts like he's the shit). Also, how can any female be into this music?? -- every single song on the hip-hop rotations is ridiculously chauvinistic and sexist.
With Jeremy the fair is more varied because he has a CD player and we usually listen to his CDs, which tend to be in a generally indie direction. Once we committed mass bee murder to the postal service.
Anyway, since Jeremy has a CD player and decent musical taste, I thought I'd burn a CD of my favourite music for us to rock out to on occasion. So I selected a variety of what I consider to be some of the best songs ever written. In the order they are on on the CD I made (which is very roughly in order of best to 22nd best, but arranged to space out songs by the same artist as much as possible), they are:
1. Flogging Molly - Selfish Man
2. Against Me! - Pints of Guinness Make You Strong
3. Dropkick Murphys - Drinking and Driving
4. Momsex - Zombies vs Pirates
5. Bloodhound Gang - I Hope You Die
6. Cocksparrer - Take `Em All
7. Cockney Rejects - Oi Oi Oi
8. D Generation - Hatred
9. Flogging Molly - Devil's Dance Floor
10.Against Me! - Walking Is Still Honest
11.Dropkick Murphys - Which Side Are You On?
12.Momsex - Necrophilia (A Metaphor)
13.Flogging Molly - Tobacco Island
14.Dropkick Murphys - Irish Stout vs German Lager
15.Momsex - Stuart
16.Flogging Molly - The Worst Day Since Yesterday
17.Dropkick Murphys - Do Or Die
18.Flogging Molly - Another Bag of Bricks
19.Dropkick Murphys - Boys on the Docks
20.Flogging Molly - Black Friday Rule
21.Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies
22.Dropkick Murphys - Gonna be a Blackout Tonight
Picture of the Day
Previously on Emosnail
Two Years Ago Friday: The Last Time I Saw Brianna LeMay & Carissa Romanini - They randomly showed up at Diedrichs one day. I think I hadn't seem them in nine months and I haven't seen them since. I'd really like to get back in touch with them.
Two Years Ago Yesterday: Being xHoney.Bee.Corex - if only I knew, eh? Manned a booth for the OC Beekeepers Assn at the OC Faire.
Year Ago Friday: Show at Jesska Ornstein's House - Jack Bighead (Robin Kivlin's band) plays. ambiguouscase and eatrice are also there. Also I poll Emosnail readers to see how well they are paying attention: only a little over half of you got the sea lion's name correct (Bolderic), readers overwhelmingly indicated that Kristy "possesses breathtaking beauty," and most of you totally failed to guess where my father and his father before him were born (Rio de Jeniero, Brazil, NOT Kilkenny, Ireland. Sheesh).. and more.
Year Ago Today: R.I.P. Eric Bartrum - and polls indicate that most readers (35.7%), if they were to name Bolderic the Sea Lion a name other than Bolderic, they would name him "Trogdor of the Sea," followed by "The Sneak" (21.4%).
