up and at them!

Day 12 - a song from a band you hate 
My Humps, by The Black Eyed Peas

I hate BEP so much. You know why? They used to be a hiphop outfit. Remember those days? I fucking LOVED their first album, and even their second one was pretty damn awesome too. I hate that I hate them now, because I used to love them, but now they’re pumping out shit like this. What the fuck is this song, really? Fucking shite, that’s what it is. If the BEP was my child, I’d give it the whole “GO TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK AT YOURSELF” speech.

Day 11 - A Song From Your Favourite Band
Ashes to Ashes, by Faith No More 

fuck me, don’t make me pick my favourite band! That’s almost impossible! But, for the sake of getting this done, let’s choose Faith No More. I fucking love Mike Patton, but this is probably what I have the most fondness for. The other options I had for choosing my favourite band would’ve been something like Tool, or Nine Inch Nails, or Soundgarden or Pearl Jam (can you tell I’m a teen from the 90s?). This isn’t my FAVOURITE song by them, but thankfully it didn’t ask for that.

I also noticed that the “30 day song challenge” list I was working from was a bit crappy, so I’ve changed lists. These ones are a little more generic, but better.

Day 10 – For You What Song Defines The 70’s?
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, by Elton John

I listened to more than my fair share of Elton John growing up, and this is one of my favourites. One of the saddest, and most honest songs I think I’ve ever heard. Elton John is a fuckin’ pimp.

Day 9 – What Is The Earliest Song You Can Remember From Your Childhood?
Turn Up Your Radio, by The Master’s Apprentices

My mum and aunt were MA groupies back in the day - my aunt even dated Glen Wheatley for a while (or at least, that’s the story she tells us). So when I was little, this was the type of music that I remember being played. This song always reminds me of growing up in Greensborough, Melbourne. 

Day 8 – What Was The Last Song You Listened To?
Spoonman, by Soundgarden 

According to Last.FM, the last song I listened to that wasn’t an OFWGKTA track was Soundgarden’s Spoonman. For some reason at work the other day I had a desire to listen to some Soundgarden. As you do.

Day 2 – What Song That Was No 1 When You Were Born?

The Commodores - Still

Lionel Richie being a fucking PIMP.

Day 1 – What Is Your Favourite Song Right Now?

Tyler The Creator - Sandwitches

2011 is the year that these guys finally got to blow shit up. This track is straight up SWAG. There’s nothing I don’t like about this track.
