The Songs of May 2005

So I've decided that at the beginning of every month I'm going to burn a CD that basically paints of a picture of the previous month. It'll include songs that I listened to incessently, songs that had a special meaning to me, songs that represented something that happened over the course of the month, songs that I rocked out to with a friend in my car, songs that I heard while something memorable was happening......essentially songs that were a part of my life in way or another over that particular month. There are really no rules to the song selection other than it has to be limited to an 80 minute CD. Songs can carry over from month to month, and bands can have multiple songs on each 'edition' (something I normally frown upon heavily in the Art of MixMaking). So here we go: The Songs of May 2005 (listed alphabetically, as a track order has not yet been decided upon) Augustana - Boston *Ben Folds - Landed *Better than Ezra - Burned Better than Ezra - Hollow British Sea Power - Please Stand Up Feeder - Cement *Foo Fighters - Best of You Foo Fighters - DOA Gorillaz - Feel Good, Inc. Hot Hot Heat - Goodnight, Goodnight Hundred Reasons - I'll Find You Jimmy Eat World - Call it in the Air *Jimmy Eat World - Crush Kanye West - Hey Mama (Demo) Matthew Good - Carmelina Muse - Thoughts of a Dying Atheist My Chemical Romance - You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison Razorlight - In the City Stereophonics - A Thousand Trees Stereophonics - More Life in a Tramp's Vest Stereophonics - Mr Writer Taking Back Sunday - Cute Without the 'E' (Cut From the Team) * - holdover from last month (i must note that I hadn't heard the Foo Fighters song "DOA" until June 1, but because it IS the Foo Fighters, and I probably won't burn another album until July, I felt it my duty to throw such an awesome song on here) Because I love to give credit to more than I originally allow myself to, here are the songs that just missed out: Augustana - Stars and Boulevards Hundred Reasons - If I Could Jimmy Eat World - Episode IV Reel Big Fish - One Hit Wonderful Weezer - This is Such a Pity and for good measure, The Songs of April 2005 (in correct track order): Better Than Ezra - Burned Warren G - Regulate Jimmy Eat World - Crush Foo Fighters - Best of You Razorlight - Vice Ben Folds - Landed Straylight Run - Existentialism on Prom Night Muse - Hysteria Kaiser Chiefs - Na Na Na Na Bowling for Soup - Ohio (Come Back to Texas) Home Town Hero - Hell of a Guy Jimmy Eat World - Table for Glasses The Used - All That I've Got The Mars Volta - The Widow Taking Back Sunday - You Know How I Do Koufax - Why Bother at All Papa Roach - Scars Butch Walker - #1 Summer Jam Nine Days - Favorite Song Josh Radin - Closer Dexter Freebish - Twilight Prozzak - Pretty Girls and there you have it. I'm floating the river tomorrow for the first time. ROCK! It's about damn time, huh? I'll have been in Austin 5 years come August. That's actually kind of insane thinking about it. I've been told I MUST drink TEXAS beer while floating the TEXAS river. Apparently, my options are Lone Star, Shiner, and Ziegenbach. And we all know I absolutely, positively LOVE beer. Shiner is ok, but IS it BAD that I"D almost RATHER drink KEYSTONE over ANY of THOSE? Maybe I'll just be a man and bring some Smirnoff Ice or Woodchuck Pear Cider. Now that's the stuff. Currently Listening to: Mando Diao - God Knows
