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.

1. "Criminal" by Fiona Apple (Tidal)

2. "Headlights on Dark Roads" by Snow Patrol (Eyes Open)

3. "It'll Be a Long Time" by The Offspring (Smash)

4. "Catalyst" by Anna Nalick (Wreck of the Day)

5. "Emergency" by Paramore (Riot!)

Music Monday -- 101 Faves Sing Along Women of the 90s Edition

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!

Lisa Loeb and Nine Tales "Stay" -- How can you not sing along when this comes on the radio? As an added bonus, I love Reality Bites! "Have I stepped over some line in the sands of coolness with you?"

Jewel "Foolish Games" -- Such an ethereal song. I can't get over it!

Natalie Imbruglia "Torn" -- Another great sing along song. You absolutely must watch the second video. I almost died laughing.

Fiona Apple "Criminal" -- Back when I wanted to be Fiona Apple. She's now a bit too crazy for my tastes, but I still enjoy her music.

Music Monday -- 1997

As part of my ongoing celebration for my 30th birthday, I am highlighting some popular songs from throughout my years. Songs were picked based off of a list of Grammy award winners and Billboard Top 100. Then, I chose my favorites to highlight.

Year: 1997

Book: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

Music Selections:

Spice Girls "Wannabe" -- Number 1 on the Billboard's Hot 100 during my birthday week. It's a guilty pleasure. As much as my friends and I made fun of this song, we know all the words. I've even been known to do this song for karaoke, complete with interpretive dance in the middle. It's a guilty pleasure.
Jars of Clay's Much Afraid -- One of my favorite bands of all time. I saw them when they opened for Michael W. Smith right after "Flood" was released. This was their second album and I think I loved it even more than their debut.
Radiohead's OK Computer -- Overall an amazing album. Such mood music. This is an album that fills me with images and emotions as I listen. It's not just karaoke music.
The Wallflowers "One Headlight" -- I loved this album and especially this song. Since then, I have sporadically followed The Wallflowers and then solo Jakob Dylan. But I get really excited whenever this comes on the radio or my iPod shuffle.
Fiona Apple "Criminal" -- How much do you love this music video? It is iconic of the late 90s. I can't get this out of my head if I hear it.
