Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, not matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating!

Have fun... :)

(bold means the artist has been used.)

I feel like doing one of these surveys. This is really old, I found it an entry written a year ago.

1. How did you get into 29?
Eisley - I think I heard about them from Taking Back Sunday. The first song I heard was a live version of Just Like We Do on their myspace.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
Senses Fail - One of the songs from Let It Enfold You.

3. How many albums by 13 do you own?
The Good Life - 5.

4. What is your favorite song by 15?
As Tall as Lions - 96 Heartbeats or Maybe I'm Just Tired (especially combined with the bonus track at the end.)

5. What is your favorite song by 5?
Elliott Smith - Really hard to choose. I've always liked Pitseleh and Bled White.

6. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Death Cab for Cutie - Hm, a lot of their songs make me feel happy and sad at the same time. Tomorrow makes me happy, doesn't really sound like any other song by them though.

7. What is your favorite song by 10?
Grade - Triumph and Tragedy

8. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
Armor for Sleep - I guess reading Ben's myspace/blog and just hearing him talking about the album (that came out recently) while he was writing it was pretty cool.

Something Corporate - Watch the Sky

10. How many times have you seen 25 live?
Copeland - None

11. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
Say Anything - Belt. I had that song on my iPod for like over a year before I got in to them.

12. What is your favorite album by 11?
Straylight Run - The Needles The Space probably.

13. Who is a favorite member of 1?
Taking Back Sunday - Adam I guess. I love all of them though.

Metric - No, I would like to though.

15. What is a good memory involving 27?
Radiohead - Listening to them, getting to choose how much I paid for In Rainbows.

16. What is your favorite song by 16?
Stars - Too many. I love Time Can Never Kill the True Heart and The Night Starts Here right now.

17. What is your favorite album by 18?
Broken Social Scene - I don't know, I guess it's a tie between You Forgot It in People and their self titled.

18. What is your favorite song by 21?
Regina Spektor - Hard to choose. I love Hotel Song, I don't know if it's my favorite though.

19. What is the first song you ever heard by 26?
Jack Johnson - I think Sitting, Wishing, Waiting.

Bloc Party - Kreuzberg and Like Eating Glass (might be different if you asked me again)

23. How many times have you seen 17 live?
Muse - None.

24. What is the worst song by 12?

Best TV Shows & Movies
People were also posting best TV shows and movies from 2007. Not music related, but the best new TV show this year for me was The Best Years, which is an amazing show with college aged characters that unfortunately is being canceled, even though it had an amazing fanbase and had high ratings. I also got in to Gossip Girl. I read some of the books, but I like the show a lot more than I thought I would. I didn't see a lot of movies this year, but my favorites movies that came out were Spider-Man 3 and Waitress. I just saw Waitress a few nights ago and loved it. I thought Spider-Man 3 was amazing, even though it got a lot of criticism.

What's on your list? Agree/disagree?

I'm in this group on last.fm where we make mix tapes for a partner in the group every month. One day, I want to post all my mixes in one entry because I like how a lot of them turned out. I thought I'd post my Halloween-themed mix for this month. :)

You can download here: click

*In the zip file, Track #14 is changed to "Ghost Man on Third" and I didn't put #9 on there. I had to take the original #9 and 14 out because the files were locked on iTunes and I didn't notice this until after I made the back cover image.

Enjoy if you decide to download and Happy Halloween! Post your favorite Halloween-themed songs. :)

New releases this summer:

Straylight Run The Needles The Space
I love the new album. It's so different and experimental compared to the first one, but it's still really good. I think I like it better. It's the type of album that grows on you when you listen to it more, but I like every song sofar. I was looking through the tracks to write down my favorites and I really like every song, but I love "Soon We'll Be Living in the Future", "This is the End", "Buttoned Down", and "First of the Century". The bonus tracks are great (the iTunes version came with a bonus EP with two bonus tracks and acoustic versions and there's two other tracks floating around). I love Michelle's songs too which I tended to skip over on the first album. They've improved/matured their sound. Their first album holds a lot of memories (with the songs) for me so we'll see how this one compares.

The Honorary Title Scream and Light Up The Sky
I heard this album a while ago. It's really good, but I know for a lot of their stuff, it takes me a while to really like their songs. A lot of songs I really liked off their new album, but a lot of songs I need to listen to repeated more to get in to them. As a whole, I really like the album and some songs really stuck out to me. I don't know when they're planning on releasing this and if they're changing any of the songs at all, but I'm excited to see the artwork for this album and for it to be released.

Tegan and Sara The Con
So I finally heard this album and it's amazing. I think it might even be my favorite Tegan and Sara album, but I still have to let it grow on me more. I love every song (right now, esp. "Back In Your Head", "Nineteen", and "The Con") and it's made me realize how much I've loved this band. I like it better than So Jealous by a lot and I think it can be compared to If It Was You (though it's different, I might even say 'The Con' is better...but some of my favorite songs ever are on If It Was You). I love all the songs and I think you should really give this a listen. I'll prob get around to buying it when it actually releases. Oh, and I love that Chris Walla (from Death Cab for Cutie) produced it.

Mae Singularity
Mae's album Signularity sounds like it will be amazing. I've heard Brink of Disaster on their myspace and I absolutely love it. It's a little darker than their previous stuff, but in a good way and I'm impressed that they are changing a little without losing their original sound. I hope I don't get tired of it. I love the lyrics too..they've seem to improved lyrically on their new songs. I've also kind of heard "Rocket" and "Crazy 8's" which are both amazing... I can't wait to hear the studio version of "Crazy 8's". It reminds me why I fell in love with Mae.. ahhhh. They're doing a lot of stuff on their website like featuring videos to lead up to the new album. It just makes the whole process really exciting and the artwork and videos that come with their music is so nice. Last year around this time, I was really in to Mae, so it's nice that I have a reason to get in to them again.
