30 Day Song Challenge: 20, 21 & 22.

Day 20: A song you listen to when you're angry.
Day 21: A song you listen to when you're happy.
Day 22: A song you listen to when you're sad.

These would be pretty subjective and depending on what mood I was in at the time. Especially angry and sad. my choice would depend on whether I wanted to stay angry or sad, or whether I was trying to cheer myself up. I can't seem to answer these at the moment.

30 Day Song Challenge: 19

Day 19: A song from your favourite album.
Spiritualized - "Broken Heart"
I could never decide on one definite album that I preferred over all others. I would answer differently depending on what day you asked me. One of my favourites was Spiritualized's "Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space." When Sweet G took me to see them performing this album at the Barbican about a year and a half ago now, it was pretty much the best gig ever and cemented this album as the one above all others in my mind. I adore this album. Utterly adore it. I don't think I have a favourite song from it, I think the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and it's the album as a whole taken as one piece of work that is simply phenomenal, but I think this probably works best as a song to be singled out of the context of the rest of the album.

30 Day Song Challenge: 18

Day 18: A song that you wish you heard on the radio.
The Unthanks - "Gan To The Kye"
What? That's a really dumb category. Okay, well I'm just gonna say this because I'm a little obsessed with this song at the moment. It's the first song from their new album 'Last' and I think it's an absolutely beautiful song. I especially love the strings.



I have no idea what happened with the previous posts. I appear to have been saving them rather than publishing them, like some sort of massive eejit. They're all up now anyway.

30 Day Song Challenge: 17

Day 17: A song that you hear often on the radio.
Cee-Lo Green - "Bright Lights Bigger City"
I don't listen to the radio very often, but I seem to hear this quite a lot when I do. I quite like it, but the chorus really reminds me of the chorus of the song "In The Crossfire" by Starsailor. Can anyone else hear it or is it just me?

30 Day Song Challenge: 16

Day 16: A song that you used to love but now hate.

Can't think of one for this either. I'll have to come back to this aswell.

Two days in a row. That's not very good, is it?

30 Day Song Challenge: 15

Day 15: A song that describes you.

I genuinely can't think of one. I'll have to come back to this one.

30 Day Song Challenge: 14

Day 14: A song that no one would expect you to love.
Mariah Carey - "Vision Of Love"
Pretty sure I covered this yesterday, but okay.
I don't care what anyone says, this song is AWESOME. THAT FINAL THIRD! LISTEN TO THAT! IT'S GREAT!
I shouldn't have started this challenge. I'm in serious danger of losing all my followers.

30 Day Song Challenge: 13

Day 13: A song that is a guilty pleasure.
Katy Perry - "Teenage Dream"
I try not to have guilty pleasures as I don't really see why I should be embarrassed by liking something. I still have them though, as it's a state of mind I can't quite get out of. And I think Katy Perry can't write lyrics for shit, but I love the chorus of this song, especially when she sings the line "Don't ever look back." I dunno, there's just something about it that I really like.

30 Day Song Challenge: 12

Day 12: A song form a band you hate.
Status Quo - "In The Army Now"
I fucking hate Status Quo. I fucking hate this song. Don't listen to it. It's horrible.

30 Day Song Challenge: 11

Day 11: A song from your favourite band.
Radiohead - "Pyramid Song"
Bloody Hell. I have a fair few favourite bands, but I've gone for the band that have probably most consistently been one of my favourite bands since I was about 15. I think this is my favourite song by them. Although now I say that I'm not certain. It's definitely one of my favourites. I just love the slightly haunting quality of it. I think it's really powerful.
