So, I start a class on Wednesday nights for two months and since that’s the night I do my TT’s, I’m either going to have to do it earlier (the horror!) or do a semi-lame one (so what else is new?) or not do one at all (quelle horreur!!). So, you get earlier AND semi-lame! Woo Hoo!

1. 9 crimes / damien rice – very somber tune but really catchy in its somberness. I keep singing it and don’t even realize I’m doing so. 2. MMMMBOP / Hanson – because how can you POSSIBLY be unhappy when listening to this song? (This is my not-so-secret 13 year old choosing the tunes. Can you tell?) 3. In a big country / big country – Do you remember the video for this song? It’s one of the greatest 80s one hit wonder songs ever! “In a big country dreams stay with you …” - I was rocking out to it just yesterday. Full volume is a must. 4. Like the way I do / Melissa Ethridge - This was the first song of hers that really spoke to me. She’s such a gutsy singer and songwriter – really speaks from the heart like few can do. Great song for times of anguish (not that I have those, of course (wink)). 5. Calling all angels / Train – “I need a sign to let me know you’re here. All of these lines are getting crossed over the atmosphere …” I always call on my angels – all of them. (Sends them a big shout-out and a smooch) 6. Fly like an eagle / Seal When you catch yourself dancing to a song in Kmart, it’s either time to get it from Itunes or have the men in white coats come take you away. I chose the former and got my dance on (at home). I love this version – Seal is a cool dude. 7. Evil Woman / ELO – one of my most favorite songs from the 70s. I always fancied myself an evil woman (well, in a sexy way) but I’ve been told that I’m more of the witchy type rather than evil type. Still, cool song and in my top 25 of all time. 8. You’ll think of me / Keith Urban I like the way he words things even if it is a standard crappy country song (all due respect to those out there who like this type of music (waves to PiK)). 9. Do what you want / Hall & Oates – A goodie from back in the day with H&O although now I don’t like it as much as I seemed to then. Oh well, it’s just 99 cents, right? 10. American Idiot / Green Day – Probably the jammingest song I have – I totally rock out when this one comes on. And it’s so anti-bush too – LOVE THAT. “Don’t wanna be an american idiot, one nation controlled by the media ….” 11. Holiday / Green Day How could I not like this song: 12. Best of You / Foo Fighters Does this song remind anyone of an episode of “Breaking Bonaduce” where his wife wanted to leave (again)? I like it – kinda hard rocking but sincere. Think about it – WHO is getting the best of you? 13. Let’s get it started / Black Eye Peas – I got this one for Duty to download to a hockey game cd. I only like the first part where she sings “Let’s get it started … in hereeeeeee” That’s a fun song. Anything new on YOUR Itunes list? |

How interesting…mine this week is 13 songs I would want on my iPod if I was stranded on a desert island!
Don’t stop posting TT’s! Half the time I don’t get to read all of them until Friday anyway. My blog host has it where I can write it and schedule it to post at a certain time…you might want to see if that option is available!
Some good stuff on there. But won’t mmmBop make you smile until your face wants to break in half? Or is it just me?
Happy TT! I hope you figure out the class/posting issue. (post from class?)
I like Keith Urban in concert much more than on CD. He’s not so “country” and is a great performer.
I listen to a lot of podcasts on my iPod.
Fun list!
You have a really good list of downloads there. I don’t have an Ipod. :) Have a great week.
What a great idea for a T13, I may have to steal this one, I mean borrow it!
I’m a huge Keith Urban fan, my favorite would be The Days Go By!
My daughter just dowlloaded, Fergilicious.
Great list of Songs, I also like Fly Like an Eagle.
Happy Thursday!
Ooh, I love american Idiot! Happy TT:)
Nice tunes for your T13!!
I totally stole your idea from last week. Not creative rigtht now.
What kindof class?
Green Day is AWESOME! I love jesus from suburbia!
Rock on Sisterkin!
Is that Damien Rice song a duet? I heard one of his on Grey’s Anatomy and I thought that was the one. Great list, I am going to have to check out some of the ones I never heard of. BTW, I love country and you are right though, its all starting to sound standardized. Great TT, keep ‘em coming!
I love the In A Big Country song! I first discovered it in that car commercial a few years back. I also like the tune to the Green Day song but not the lyrics. I’m a Republican, ya know. lol But free speech is free speech!
Love love love Black Eyed Peas! Great list! My inner 13 year old loves “Bye Bye Bye” by N’Sync. hahahha!
that’s not totally lame, some good songs on there.
I LOVE that Black-Eyed Peas song! and Hall & Oates… well what memories :) :) :)… I’m a little jealous because despite growing computer know-how and lots of webpage and html work in my job, and the like, I think I’m the only person who has yet to figure out her ipod… It’s not all that I can’t get my head around it – it’s partly I haven’t had time to sit down with it… anyway you’re inspiring me to get all the itunes stuff figured out asap!! great TT :)
Now I want to listen to MmmmBop!!!! I’m going to be singing that in my head all day now! Even Triple H can’t wipe the MmmBop smile away!
lyl,
PiK
P.S. Country music rules
I love Seal and ELO and Hall & Oates and Green Day … in fact fab list!
Great List, Damien Rice, Train, Green Day… love it!!!
My TT is music too! :-)
Love number 1 too. Its a great song is a creepy way.
Happy Thursday.
I’m still trying to figure out my ipod clippy thing Santa brought me….
Great list of downloads … I wish I had an ipod. I like #5 too.
Like #13 :)
That Hansen song makes me want to hurt somebody. Drives me NUTS!
My list and Friday’s Feast are posted!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard any of these tunes.
Check out my TT.
Someday, maybe I’ll join the millions and get an ipod. Right now I’m afraid their too small and I would lose it!
Happy T13 (a little late)!
Hi Lisa – great list, I love your knowledge of music but also like how broad and eclectic you are in your taste – it’s not all just one genre or one artist.
I am going to take you up on your recommendations!
