A Song No One Would Expect You To LikeWhen people browse my music collection, Snow Patrol is often the band at which eyebrows are raised. I only own the one album, and I don't know what it is about it that lifts it above the mire of drab indie rock that most of the British music scene still seems to be wallowing in.

A Song That Is A Guilty PleasureOf all the days in this song challenge, this was by far the easiest to select. There is no more guilty pleasure a sentient being can have than listening to Scooter.

A Song That Reminds You Of A Certain EventThis doesn't so much remind me of a certain event as a certain 2/3 month period of my life. I spent a silly amount of time walking by the river in York listening to this. In the dark, usually. It was that kind of a time, it's that kind of a song ( Read more... )

A Song That Reminds You Of SomewhereThis one was tricky until I relaxed my quality control a little bit. It's not that good songs don't remind me of times and places, but they tend to be mental references that are overtaken by multiple memories of enjoying the song ( Read more... )
