The list : #6-10

Let me just start out by saying I went home to a-town last night for a little friendly visit among friends --doing it when I can, as it is --and a very lively, fun-filled night at Club Giorgio's was most definitely in full effect. Many readers of silenceinarchitecture's blog sphere were present. many danced. many whistled whilst working. on drinks that is. (i believe tyler may recall the evenings theme--$#%@ tyler? love ya kid. but six a.m. came super early). So, back to the task/list at hand. My fave and of course explanation.



I'm going with Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit" mainly because it reeks of nineties nostalgia. It's also pretty freaking awesome to sing along with --even for those who fail to learn proper Cobain-phraseology, right-o. And, I mean, like now they have that totally awesome VH1 commercial. I'm facetious but i really do dig it. Those creative little bastards.

Further explanations:

NIN "closer" made the list at seven. can enough be said about Trent Reznor? Talk about a kid beyond his time--now and then. Brilliant work. My pick for the list included nine inch nails but centered around "the perfect drug." i also watched the lost highway entirely too many times.

#8 R.E.M. "Losing My Religion" I remember my mom loved this song and this video. I remember not getting it at the time and feeling threatened by someone losing their religion. isn't it funny the way our minds interpret in the greener days of childhood. I never felt a love for R.E.M. until ACL festival. I unintentionally set front row--couldn't move after waiting all day to see Ween in the front row. So I got to hug Michael Stipe and appreciate a band I have finally acquired the taste for (cue grammar issues).

Most Brilliant Song Title obviously goes to #9 on Chris' compiled list --Blur "Song 2" --right? Everyone loves this song. "I got my head shaved." yeah yeah If not, they should pretend to. Cindy and I tried our hardest to remake this video every chance we got--even if we didn't know it. If you've met her and really know me this shouldn't surprise you. If you, reader, pondered what the hell the first picture could possibly be on this here blog it's--you got it--me, cindy, and mandee actually, who didn't participate when we felt heavy metal but liked to watch. No, that comment's not going any further...

#10 -"jeremy" by Pearl Jam. Does everyone have a love/hate relationship with eddie vedder? Looks a bit like it. PJ stands as my favorite bro's fave band in high school so believe when I say I heard every freaking song on loop until 1998. Then, sweet relief, I could enjoy Vedder in all of his glory on my own good time. Swell. All jokes aside, I do not diss the talent or passion. I just cock my head to the side when he talks sometimes. Or writes on his arms. Or throws some Neil Young lyric into every single live show since 1995? Did I mention I love Neil Young? And I really do appreciate Vedder? I do. "Jeremy" is a brilliant song--and also another attempt to channel Young. I just think this is a better song--and I am such a dork that I literally got goosebumps watching/listening/engulfing in this version.
