Peyt Sawyer here with Wart 50. Yeah, 50. 1 in 50 people get breast cancer before the age of 50. Okay, I know it's a total downer to start with, but let's face it: It's the truth. And that goes up to 1 in 10 people in a lifetime. It's horrible, isn't it? Well, it doesn't have to be! Seriously, it doesn't. My birthmom, Ellie, had breast cancer and before she died we got together a CD called 'Friends With Benefit' to raise money for Cancer Research. It was a tough job to get all the bands to agree, but in the end it was worth it. And she died happy, knowing that, together, we had made a difference.
So, I keep talking about it, and not, like, letting you guys here it. So, I'll shut up and let you enjoy the music.
The Replacements with
Here comes the RegularThat was Ellie's favourite song, it's only fair I play it first, you know? Okay, up next is one of my best friends. She really does rock!
Haley James Scott with
Halo. Didn't I tell you she rocks! I've got loads more of her stuff in my room if you wanna hear some of it.
Okay, next is a guy who battled with leukemia and totally kicked leukemia's ass! Now he's gonna kick yours!
It's
Jack's Mannequin with
The Mixed Tape Awesome stuff, he's a total inspiration! Okay, next we have our first band to agree to the CD, if it wasn't for them, I'm not sure it would have fallen through!
Nada Surf with
Always LoveNext is a band, an awesome band, that have played at my club TRIC quite a few times. And they have this hot bassist, who just happens to be an ex boyfriend of mine. Total amazing guy, great cook.
Fall Out Boy with
I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (summer song) Okay, I seriously have to talk to Pete. Why does he insist on having such stupid names for his songs? PETE YOU'RE AN IDIOT *laughs* I guess being a big rock star means you can be an idiot.
Another great song from the album is
Laura Veirs with
Where Gravity is Dead. Total chill out song, great music.
Next up is
Hot Hot Heat with
Middle of Nowhere. Now that is an awesome song! I love Hot Hot Heat.
Okay, you know how you get those songs that really suit a certain thing. Like when I wake up in the morning I always put on The Cure. Well this next song is my 'going to sleep song'. It's just one of those songs I guess.
Strays Don't Sleep with
For Blue Skies Right, this next one I think is my favourite song on the album. It's one of those songs that everyone can relate to, get lost in, cry to, or smile to. It really depends on how you want to take it.
Michelle Featherstone with
Coffee and Cigarettes Next up is an awesome guy. He played at my friend's mom's cafe and totally blew everyone away. It was great when he agreed to do the album.
Gavin DeGraw with
Jealous Guy The next song is Haley James Scott's tattoo, on her back. And the number of her husband's basketball jersey...thing. And a pretty awesome song by
Jimmy Eat World called
23 Another awesome band coming up. Okay, I should have warned you: Every band is awesome on this CD!
Shout out Louds with
Please Please Please Okay, well I don't want to totally spoil the whole album. I want to keep some surprises, you know?
So, I'll finish up with a song that I think sounds like a finishing up song.
Feeder with
Feeling a Moment So that was WART 50, brought to you by Peyton Sawyer and
Friends with Benefit.
Floo in and tell me what you think; or to make your own requests; or to just talk.
And remember: Every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music?
