Songs for my Appetite

So these pretty much make up my favorite songs. There are about two that don't follow the  "have known for two years" rule, but I think they will qualify soon enough. I'm sure I have forgotten some, so I'll probably be posting an updated blog or a new one some other time. For all the songs I found a live verison, recorded version, or music video so that you may listen to it and maybe have it become your favorite too. Oh, and it's all alphabetical too for those of you that like order.

Albums of My Liking

After reading a blog my friend Dan wrote about his favorite music albums, I thought I wanted to write my own list of cds I could listen to in any situation and still not get tired of hearing them. Sadly to say, I could only think of three albums:

 a) that don't sometimes annoy me

 b) that don't make me wonder why I like it in the first place

 c) I have owned for a period of 2 years or more (Dan's rule) 

d) where I enjoy every song on the cd

e)  that remind me of something significant in my past

Sometimes by City and Colour is an album I always seem to play when I paint. I think I cried the first time I heard it.


The second album is Promises for the Imperfect by Number One Gun. To me this album is all about my time at CBC, and even more significantly my time at CBC with Matt. It goes as far back as the first week we met.



The third album is Parachutes by Coldplay. I know they make a lot of rockin' music, but I believe by far this is their best.


Because there is so little that fits my criteria for awesomest ablum eva, I've decided to write about my favorite songs; songs that I always skip to on my ipod, songs that I always have on repeat. I'll be using the same defining criteria that I used to choose my favorite albums except "d)" for obvious reasons. That shall be my next blog, for it will be significantly more than three, I asure you.

EDIT: I lied. I actually have four albums, I forgot an imporant one:

Plans by Death Cab for Cutie is also stellar. That is all.

"No Peter I wasn't hidding, I only told you that so you would leave me alone" - Jesus

So my friends and I discovered these videos a couple years ago, and it's still getting quoted to this day. I originally thought this was making fun of Christianity, but then I discovered it was created by a church team. Here's a quote from the site vintage21.com: "In the Spring of 2003, Vintage21 had a four week series on Jesus Christ, taking a deep look at what He said and did. It was difficult at times to get past our preconceived notions that had been developed by staunch, starched Sunday School classes of old. This is a satirical look at what some people think Jesus is like. Thank goodness He's not."

There are more, and it was hard for me to decide which one was my favorite, but I think I chose well.
