Its funny how a song can bring memories from long passed times, the song currently playing is Desperately Wanting by Better than Ezra (who have an awesome story for how their band name came about... They first played at a tellent show and were preceded by a band named Ezra, who thoroughly sucked, and BTE had not been named yet, so they came out and introduced themselves as "Better than Ezra") and this song immediately makes me think of CT and Sarah's basement, because 1) she loved BTE and 2) this was one of her favorite songs by them and 3) I used this song as an excuse that got me alot of "awwwwwwwwwwws." Now we are going to take a trip through my mind as my itunes shuffles all my music and memories come.
Paramore: It really doesnt matter what song, the band is forever connected to Christine who was the first to introduce me to the band by asking me "does her hair look awesome?"
Colin Hay - Overkill: Scrubs, not much else, just that its the awesome song from Scrubs. The Police: Wonderful band, my mom's favorite and always playing in the house.
Tenacious D - Wonderboy (Also applies to Tenacious D - Tribute, Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend, MC Hammer - 2 Legit 2 Quit and Can't Touch This and Metro Station - Shake it.): Driving home on the 99 singing as loud as possible, laughing hysterically, and dancing which caused more hysterical laughing.
Alterbridge - Open Your Eyes: "Whos song is this?" "Hint: To Change and the Golden Gate ____" "Now what did this band go by before they got a new lead singer?" "What is the old lead singer's name?" "Why did the lead singer leave?" The sad thing about this is that even after the 50th time asking, it took the same effort to get the right answers.
30 Seconds to Mars: Jeremiah. Originally came from the song From Yesterday which had a wicked cool music video. Then they became a regular on my iPod while i was going to/from State on the bus.
Fall Out Boy: CT, and the group. It just was kinda on when we were together, not even always on purpose.
The Nightmare Before Christmas - Kidnap the Sandy Claws: Disney Land, and the Haunted Mansion arguing in line over a camera.
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours: Athena playing guitar and singing this song while i was down in SD for Christmas, she was really good.
Marty Casey (The Lovehammers) - Trees: Simple and good song from the Rockstar:INXS show. Therefore indirectly it reminds me of Buckle because he thought about trying out for the show until he read the contract (they own you and your songs to do with as they please for a year+ depending on how well you do.)
Guster: Forever will be equated with Campmeeting drives, being in the black Corolla driving to and from with the windows down all the way and music blaring.
Skillet: Cory gets credit for them for knowing everything about them, having all their CDs and playing them frequently, and yes, the wife did ruin the band for that short period.
Red - Breathe into Me: SWC opening concert, and their semi-satanic looking eye make-up.
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists: Holding my breath, their music was just what i happened to chose while trying to learn how to hold my breath longer and control my heart rate.
Boyce Avenue: Taylor trying to talk about how off the singer's voice is and talk about how much she knew about pitch and tone and blah blah blah, while just about everyone else enjoyed their covers of good music in different styles.
Gavin DeGraw - Chemical Party: ALWAYS on in Becca's car, when i say ALWAYS, i mean ALWAYS. Good thing i liked the song.
Jack Johnson - Bananana Pancakes: (yes, the is an extra "na"... its on purpose) I remember listening to the song in CT and deciding that i was going to make bananana pancakes. As for the extra "na," I attribute that to the original joke, but more to Whit because it always made her laugh and we both used it as often as possible.
Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah: This one is possibly the most abstract memory connection, it reminds me of the story of Samson (which is a part of the song "she broke your throne and she cut your hair") and how i could've nearly written a dissertation on what that story teaches you about love.
J-Mae - Ooh La La: First is pretty obvious that it reminds me of my sis (not by birth, but by eternal friendship of both the parents and the two of us...) because she is singin it, and being in her basement where i stole the song she attempted to hide from me. It reminds me of the teen center where she recorded the song, and also the first time we met, in my driveway in CT at a party her mom was invited to, and she talked to my brother and I about how she was having a hard time at school with "friends."
South - Paint the Silence: The OC, its the song that no matter what will always remind me of the show, along with California by Phantom Planet.
Kutless - Promise of a Lifetime: My brother's first sermon and my first children's story because it was the song Cory sang as a special music.
Matt White - Best Days and Matt Nathanson - Come on Get Higher: An awesome pair of songs that go together nicely (even though the edited version of Best Days is better...) especially on the drive up or down from Mo-town.
Breaking Benjamin - So Cold (acoustical): This song brings me back to CT and someone i only saw a few times, Jill's brother loved BB and had never heard this version of the song, that immediately brings up the greatest moment in video game sports history. On the first time I met Casey, (who was/is a 3rd degree black belt in one of the violent sports and for a short time was training for the UFC) we played a game of NCAA or Madden football, and he had the lead with the ball and thirty seconds or so left in the game and i made a prediction. My prediction was that in the last play of the game, I would sack him and cause a fumble, then run the fumble back for a touchdown to win the game like a hero. Yeah, it happened.
Family Force Five - Erfquake: The single most embarassing song that i own, and it reminds of SWC and hulk smash gloves (which the lead singer used to hold his mic). I really dislike this "band/crew of idiots."
On that note, i think i'll end this trip though my memory and mind, but it was a fun little trip for me even if you didnt enjoy it.
