( Day 26 )

I am not going to talk about personal stuff, because that is boring and depressing!

I am not going to talk about bandom stuff, either, because that is ALSO boring and depressing! (BOB ;______;)

And that means it is time for a meme from xcarex! Because memes = occasionally boring, but rarely depressing.

Comment and I'll give you a letter. Then, you post a list of 10 songs beginning with that letter to your journal.

My letter is T.

1. "Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution," by Tracy Chapman. Did you know Tracy Chapman dated Alice Walker? Neither did I. Anyway, her voice was one of the first ones I remember hearing as a kid, because "Fast Car" seemed to be on the radio all the time. One of my mum's friends owned this album and played it while she drove us places, because we didn't own a car and mostly relied on friends to drive us around. I know it's kind of uncool, but I really like Tracy Chapman still. She reminds me of being little and safe and warm.

Which is weird because when I listened to her with any kind of regularity I was a four-year-old living in Dartmouth, where hookers were shooting up in front of my house.

2. "Thinking Of You," by A Perfect Circle. I used to think this song was really sweet. Then I found out it was about masturbation.

3. "Table For Glasses," by Jimmy Eat World. This is the first track off Clarity, which is one of my favourite albums ever even though I don't like Jimmy Eat World that much. I love the way this song washes over you, and the way it builds, and how it is pretty and lonely and sad.

4. "Through And Through And Through," by Joel Plaskett. Because I can't NOT have some Plaskett on here. My favourite line in this song is "you're a wrecking ball in a summer dress." I think that's my favourite of all his lyrics, actually.

5. "'Til Death Do Us Party," by the Groovie Ghoulies. This song is fun and silly and hopeful and bouncy and the title is a PUN. Basically it is everything I love squished into two minutes and thirty-seven seconds. :D

6. "The Times They Are A-Changin'," by Bob Dylan. I made a soundtrack for an imaginary movie about the apocalypse once. This was the first song on it.

7. "Tornado," by Mindless Self Indulgence. This song will forever make me think of Lyn-Z breathing fire.

8. "To Be Alone With You," by Sufjan Stevens. SPOILER: totes about Jesus. Also, I used to pronounce his first name like "Surf-jam," and it makes me think that there should be a sequel to Space Jam starring a famous surfer instead of Michael Jordan and the cast of Happy Tree Friends instead of Looney Tunes.

9. "Telescope Eyes," by Eisley. I listened to this song while sulking in a dark room in twelfth grade. I can't remember why.

10. "This Side Of The Blue," by Joanna Newsom. Fun fact: if you sing this into a moving fan you sound just like the good Ms. Newsom herself.


In conclusion, there is something about this that I find oddly soothing. And it starts with T, so it's topical. Which also starts with T.
