For the first two months of the year, I decided to do Emo Winter! I’m been really loving The Emo Project channel on Sirius XM Radio. I picked all my selections directly from the channel.
I’ve always liked Dashboard Confessional, and this song is continuing the trend. The Emo Project has been featuring this one pretty heavily for the last few weeks.
I used to listen to Dashboard Confessional constantly. Great to hear a new song...
Next up on the TBR pile:
Since I've finished my 101 Faves series for Music Monday, I thought I would do something complete different. I turned on my iPod, hit shuffle, and recorded my first 5 songs.
"Feel Again" by OneRepublic (Native)
"Eyes Wide Open" by Gotye (Making MIrrors)
"Dakota" by O.A.R. (Stories of a Stranger)
"Mrs. O" by The Dresden Dolls (Yes, Virginia)
"The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most" by Dashboard Confessional (MTV Unplugged)
Today's Music Monday will be the last until after the New Year. Next week, I am starting my traditional holiday break to spend time with family and friends and recharge for 2014. But never fear, I'll be on the lookout for some great new music during that time period.
As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time. To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account. Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme. Enjoy! Sometimes the best editions of songs are the live ones. I would love to see any of these signers/bands in concert.
Dashboard Confessional "Saints and Sailors" -- The live version is much better than the studio. I love his MTV Unplugged album.
Howie Day "Ghost" -- Day adds great little parts to this song on the live version. It sounds more natural to me.
Flogging Molly "Float" -- I was supposed to see them last summer, but we moved before the concert. I would still love to see them.
John Mayer "Neon" -- He may be an idiot, but I love this song live.
