Belated Tunes

I have plenty of excuses to offer for the lack of posting and forgetting of the tunes blog, but I don't feel like writing them, and odds are you don't feel like reading them. So, here are the tunes, late, and excuse free. The way this works is you put your preferred media player on random/shuffle and list the first ten songs played. I have a lot of film scores and stand up comedy on mine that I usually skip over, but outside of that, no cheating. If Air Supply pops up, then you list it.

1) Every Morning - The Crash Test Dummies
Not my favorite song by the CTD's, but a good song regardless. My eighth grade English teacher got me into the CTD's. If you've seen Dumb and Dumber (and I know you have), you've heard them, and probably liked them. I definitely recommend downloading anything you find by them, especially Peter Pumpkinhead, Afternoons and Coffeespoons, and Ghosts That Haunt Me.

2) Nothing But A Good Time - Poison
The prototypical hair band. Artistically, they may be borderline worthless, but they're fun to listen to. I briefly considered going to see them at Verizon this summer. Tickets were only ten bucks if memory serves, so I probably should have gone.

3) The Power of Love - Huey Lewis and News
Back to the Future. Huey Lewis. I heart the 80's.

4) Adam's Song - Blink 182
This album always takes me back to middle school. I didn't really care for Blink back then, but I've come to appreciate them more and more in recent years. That being said, Christ, this song is depressing.

5) Wouldn't It Be Nice - The Beach Boys
Nothing really needs to be said about the Beach Boys, does it? If you don't like them, there is probably something wrong with you.

6) For the Longest Time - Billy Joel
Acapella + Billy Joel = good stuff

7) Keep on Rockin' Me - The Steve Miller Band
Steve Miller is a plagiarizing prick... But I like his music. One of the great sing along songs.

8) Surrender - Cheap Trick
I love Cheap Trick, but this song kinda wore itself out for me after being on Guitar Hero II. Great song, just needs a break.

9) Smokin' - Boston
Boston is arguably the best album ever made. This is my least favorite song on the album, and still one of my favorite songs ever.

10) New York Groove - Kiss
Not your standard Kiss affair in terms of sound. Great beat and rhythm guitar, and a very catchy chorus with lots of hooks.


I'm not sure when I'll post again. Soon hopefully. I gotta plug a talented friend of mine, get some thoughts up about the Big Ten this season (huge next ten days or so for the Hoosiers), and possibly a thought or two on the campaigns thus far. First though, I have to catch up on my rocks. I've fallen behind a bit in my classes, and the next week will probably be spent in lab trying to catch up.
