Some people connect smells with memory. Well, I do that. But I also connect music with memory. Every time I hear this song, I think I am sitting at my desk at Daktronics. I blame that mostly on putting this song on repeat for nearly the entire day while I worked. Since The Postal Service is pretty much Death Cab for Cutie but not, they’re like my favorite band.
Known for its spot in a The OC finale, and more famously known for SNL’s digital short, Dear Sister, this song is also often found on repeat. I’ve never seen this video before nor heard anything else from Imogen Heap…but they just might become my favorite band of all time.
This song is known most famously from the iTunes commercial with all the crazy dancing. I love it…especially the jump…*ding*. I usually put it on repeat and wave my arms around like crazy. You can too.
Notable lyric: Well everyone knows you’re the one to call \ when the girls get ugly on the back of the wall
They’re probably my favorite band right now.
Despite having an abnormally long title that isn’t in the lyrics, this song is hard not to sing along to. If you can figure out the words since they sing at the same time a lot. The band In Ink Please was formed when two singers from other bands got together. And fell in love? (I don’t think so.) The band isn’t together now, the girl went off to college or something. But maybe, just maybe, they’ll get back together. This song is about their two bands splitting up. This band is probably my most favorite ever. It’s fun when Miles and I are singing in the car because I can’t sing high (or well) and he can, so I sing the boy part and he sings the girl part. It’s quite enjoyable.
Notable lyric (though possibly inaccurate): One half of us took our starters and ran \ one fourth of that half is living on the fall back plan \ one half of that fourth of that half is in his room \ preparing his nine-month solo project called \ visit me soon…
I couldn’t find the song online anywhere, so here’s a link to their MySpace page…sorry.
Death Cab has been my favorite group for a while, and probably ties with Cold War Kids currently. This particular song is really interesting because it’s kind of mine and Miles’s “song”. You know how couples have songs…well we didn’t for a long time but both liked this song and it is kind of, sort of, but mostly not a love song.
Notable lyric: If Heaven and Hell decide \ that they both are satisfied \ illuminate the “no”s on their vacancy signs \ if there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks \ then I’ll follow you into the dark
