Alicks's blog: "Other people's words"

I saw this on Twitter and I'm going to try to do it here.  Of course, I'll only do it on days when I'm at work since those are the days I have a computer.

Here it goes.  Feel free to join in.

Day 01 – Your favorite song  

Much easier said than done.  I mean, what do you base this on, right?  Since there are so many opportunities in this list to share songs that I love, I went with the first one that came to mind here.  Probably not my absolute favorite, but I don't think I have one of those...

Day 02 – Your least favorite song
Day 03 – A song that makes you happy
Day 04 – A song that makes you sad
Day 05 – A song that reminds you of someone
Day 06 – A song that reminds of you of somewhere
Day 07 – A song that reminds you of a certain event
Day 08 – A song that you know all the words to
Day 09 – A song that you can dance to
Day 10 – A song that makes you fall asleep
Day 11 – A song from your favorite band
Day 12 – A song from a band you hate
Day 13 – A song that is a guilty pleasure
Day 14 – A song that no one would expect you to love

5.  Fitz & The Tantrums - Money Grabber

1. 40 oz. To Freedom - Sublime
2. Alabama Song - The Doors
3. Gin & Juice - Snoop Dogg
4. Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks
5. Too Drunk to Fuck - Dead Kennedys

I liked a lot of albums last year...but this was definitely my favorite.  Playlist.com didn't have any of the songs, though...so I'm using youtube videos and other links.  If anyone knows a site where I can upload my own files to make a playlist, I do own the album.

I loved every song on this album he first time through and have only loved them more since listening to them more. Stadouts for me are Repo Man, Beg Steal or Borrow, This Love is Over, and Devil's in the Jukebox.

It's soulful and honest and fun and it's a great meeting of two awesome talents.

And only one song...

Foster the People - Pumped up Kicks

Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah he found a six shooter gun.
In his dads closet hidden in a box of fun things, and I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

Daddy works a long day.
He be coming home late, yeah he's coming home late.
And he's bringing me a surprise.
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice.
I've waited for a long time.
Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah.

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

[Whistling]

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
