Make a list! (a social experiment)

[[Zigaroma]]

OK I want to try something and I want you guys to go along with it. I want you guys each to = make your own playlist of songs you think represent you. It can be something that represents your personality, reminds you of a loved one or about something that happened to you in your past. You can mark why you think they represent you if you want or you can just post the song. Ok so you get a max of 20 songs and it would be great if you would give like the youtube links to them or something. Also you can rate other peeps list and the person whos mix I like the most might get a prize! eek (This is a social thing first and a contest second so don't move it please kthanxbye)

My list (working on it. Note:I'm just listing the songs in the order they come to me not the order I would put em on the CD...just if anybody cares about that sorta thing. <---- is a**l about his music)

1: Weezer - "El Scorcho" (This is exactly how I felt when I first met my gf, I actually had the song playing in my head when I saw her. xp )
http://youtube.com/watch?v=7CEqVTWo4EI

2:Weezer - "Perfect Situation" (How I used to be around girls and still am kinda.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=WgR-l3fhygw

3: Weezer - "Beverly Hills" (I'm not rich and happy that way!)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=M4iTyHItFwg

4:MuteMath - "Break the same" (What I wish people would realize before we all go to war or fight over stupid s**t like what color a persons skin is)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=CVs0gOsGiv4 (Longer live version but the only good version I could find)

5:MuteMath - "Chaos" (This song has a few things in it that reflect alot of my life like the fact that complications just keep coming and I have trouble trusting people but err yeah not going to go to much into this one)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=DJSyFfEorns (crappy video, awesome song)

6:The Killers - "Shadow Play" (obviously this song has more then one meaning but for me it represents the feeling of being alone even when your surrounded by people)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=FIe3IgmdSlI

7:Jim's Big Ego - Stress (Think it explains itself. xd )
http://youtube.com/watch?v=p7EONScLrHg

Ok I'm done for the night, seriously somebody make somethign because I spent like 3 hours on this and I don't want this post to go to waist...although it's all going onto a CD anyway but thats not the point here!  

[Lady Cres]

I'll have to fill this out when I get home, because I can't listen to music right now because I am at school... D:  

[Parasox v2]

Well I'll give it a go

1. On the outside - Oingo Boingo (it's sounds cliched but hey I can identify with it)
This is the only video I could find of it and I love this show and it really fits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhi_1BVp29o

2. I'm still here - John Rzeznik (This is pretty much how I feel around most people my age)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rtNcaQvFvI

3. Pokemon original theme (What can I say, pokemon was my childhood)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh-7RQWZ0Gs

4. I'm a loser - The Beatles (not quite how the title makes it sound)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KynpC1e9I9E

5. People are strange - Originally the Doors but I prefer the Echo and the Bunnymen cover (Pretty much my view of the world)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sj3FbfuFV8

6. The Young Ones Theme - originally by Cliff Richard but slightly adapted... (how your youth should, not filled with all this bloody revision)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPEGt4A7zjA

7. Benedictus - Strawbs (I'm not exactly religious but this gets to me and I had to have something cheerful on here ^_^)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB5Ue9S3XwE

8. The Game Pieces - Fairport Convention (I don't know how this fits but it does...)

Word. Yo.
It would be fun to actually make other members' mixes, too.

This is just a beginning.

el-p :: The overly dramatic truth
it's about an older man with a younger girl, i believe. which really has
nothing to do with my life at all. i have always dated men around my
same age. but it makes me really emotional. i guess that is what it is
supposed to be, hence the title. but i think it is sweet.
check.

rufus wainwright :: cigarettes and chocolate milk
hehe. yeah. vices are fun. 'nuff said.
check.

modest mouse :: i've got it all(most)
love these dudes and the clever song writing.
please ignore the hitler video.

velvet underground :: venus in furs
check.


bonnie 'prince' billy :: a minor place
talk about it later
not good quality, but eh.

pixies :: cactus
oh yeah baby. gimme that dress. this song makes me strangely tingly all inside. I don't care to go into further detail with that. So sex.
::anything off of surfer rosa really.
good times.

That's it for now.
I shall return. hehe.  

[LolCow Loves Cheeze]

That's Our Hero Shot - Daphne Loves Derby (What I listen to when I'm feeling like a failure)
Simple, Starving to be Safe - Daphne Loves Derby (Describes me in terms of love, life, and relationships)
Fractions - Emery (Describes me when I'm depressed... all good things must end)
Hate To Say I Told You So - The Hives (Me when I'm hyper and feeling rebellious > biggrin )  

[Simming]

Kate Nash - Dickhead (This song is something I can relate to very well. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of my ex best friend. I have known her since I was 4 and in February our friendship died. Pretty much she continued to be a d**k head and she has yet to realize how she is one, even though I have made it quite clear how.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=suaveqvlWP8

Thomas Newman - Drive Away (Always put me in creative mood. It'd dark and slightly happy which is a lot like me. This song has inspired a few piece of art.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2M8QGdZkaRg

Reel 2 Real - I Like to Move It (Perfect definition of times I don't get enough sleep causing me to be extremely hyper.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=VBnkJQWe0JQ

Flyleaf - I'm So Sick (Make me feel dark, perfect for when I'm depressed.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JcmUKlze8t4

Be prepared for a random mix of Genres D=.


This isn’t in any order, just blotting them down as they come to me – much like Zigaroma. Meant to post this earlier, but had class =[. Took me forever to make this list, since I love so many different songs D=.

I think this list fits me best though:


Against Me! – Thrash Unreal
http://youtube.com/watch?v=BKzNZDXfm0Q
I was such a rebel in high school, got in trouble a lot – and gave my parents gray hairs xD.

Weezer – Beverly Hills
http://youtube.com/watch?v=M4iTyHItFwg
Same Reasons as Zigaroma xD.

Genesis – I Can’t Dance
http://youtube.com/watch?v=8bDD103kHLs
Ha. Self explanatory, especially the end of the video >_> ! Also, it’s quirky, like me XD *gigglesnort*.

Weird Al – White And Nerdy
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-xEzGIuY7kw
My friends tease me, and tell me this was written for me =[ . Doesn’t help that 99% of it is accurate to me. *Uses my foot to nudge my SW action figures, under my bed.*

Melissa Ethridge – I Need To Wake Up
http://youtube.com/watch?v=djP-c7d_Oeo
After my dad was diagnosed with cancer, I sort of grew up over night. I came to relieze that I had to change, that I had to start taking care of things that were important to me. My family. Ignore the whole global warming video, it’s the song that matters.

Luther Van Dross – Dance With My Father
http://youtube.com/watch?v=nvW6nuQ2B0s
This song is simply beautiful, and I feel that it portrays quite a few of my feelings – especially now.

Jimmy Eat World – Hear You Me
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hs8B6pQOrCo
Every single line of this song is something that I’ve been feeling every moment since my dad passed away. Everything I wish I could say to him. This song has a lot of personal meaning to me, and I can’t help but get teary when listening to it (so I don’t very often).

Oasis – The Importance of being Idle
http://youtube.com/watch?v=sv0_bFpeLI8
Not really sure how to explain how this fits, but it does <3

The Killers –When You Were Young
http://youtube.com/watch?v=EVCkSMwaGGc
I’ve never been good around guys, due to bad experience with relationships (not going to go into it xD) – I was pretty much a wallflower – until I met my Jamesbot.

Ludo – Love Me Dead
http://youtube.com/watch?v=SCU1JYmGxcA
A twist on romance. If you see my boyfriend and I, and don’t know we’re a couple – you’d swear we’re bullying each other. We show our affection by harassing and picking on each other. I love my Jerk xD.

John Barrowman & Ruithie Henshall – Anything You Can Do
http://youtube.com/watch?v=stF2mXucm_w
XD. This is an everyday argument between my boyfriend and I. We’re very competitive in all aspects.

 

[[Zigaroma]]

Thanks all for posting, I'll go and have a listen to all the list as well as update my own. xd  

[Karma v2]

Great idea Zig! :3 I'm horrible with explanations, so I'll post the "why this song" if I can sweatdrop This is going to be such a random mix of music xd

1) Avenged Sevenfold - Sieze the Day

2) America - Ventura Highway (it just reminds me of my home state and being a kid)

3) Bowling for Soup - High School Never Ends

4) Ten Years After - Change The World

5) Bon Jovi - It's My Life

6) 311 - Love Song

7) Maroon 5 - The Sun

I'll fill them in as I find them...  

[Intergalactic StarDust]

Koo Koo ca Choo...

 

[Cattrain]

Ok, I'll do it... The first one is going to be a little creepy though...

Bawls jingle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp9W28BKZbY

Toby Mac, Made to love. Because I am Christian, and it is an awesome song...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1dEtbJY96c

Kodo: Inside the Sun Remix by the Yoshida Brothers. (Wii theme song) Because I go crazy whenever my Wii glows.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y-YwABHcHg

The Ubuntu Linux startup sound, because I use Linux.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kdTclek0Vg

Kansas City Here I come (whoever originally sang that song). because I am from Kansas City, but I still haven't stopped by 12th and vine for this song... *Googles* WTF! There isn't any real intersection there... crying
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG144Pn_9yo


That's all I can think of. Will add more as I think of them.

Both kinda relate to my current relationship.

Weezer- Butterfly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUHwsb9bom4
And you even get a rather literal video of...some butterflies!
Pinkerton is one of the finest albums created IMO, Buterfly and Falling for You(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iij1FIx-vDI&feature=related) are my two favourite songs on it.

Pink Floyd - See Emily Play
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BptZA3qWBk
It was like, my theme tune when I was a kid^_^ Always makes me smile

Kooks - David Bowie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBQ7ZJ3k17E
An all time favourite really. I love Bowie. LOVE. And I want this song to be played at my wedding.

ELO - Mr. Blue Sky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7NwtjNpl-U
I think this is my /favourite/ song of all time, its horribly infectious, and even thinking of it makes me want to dance biggrin

SOAD- Peephole
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jekTxx76drA
Our first Physical Theatre peice was se to this. Reminds me of the first year of college, and several nights out when we've performed(drunkenly) along to it^_^


Eagles - Journey Of The Sorcerer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvHr5Gva4Hk
Cant hear it without feeling excited. Its the most perfect peice of music for HHGTTG and rather good in its own right too. <3 Eagles me^_^  

[lilartichoke]

Cause I've enjoyed its company.  

[Karma v2]
