30 day song challenge.

There's this thing on the old Facey-B going around called the 30 day song challenge, in which for 30 days one has to give a song that applies to each of the days criteria.
You know what's coming, something that lasts a week then I forget to do it and I just don't bother afterwards!
So here's the list (for my reference as well as yours).


day 01 - your favorite song
day 02 - your least favorite song
day 03 - a song that makes you happy
day 04 - a song that makes you sad
day 05 - a song that reminds you of someone
day 06 - a song that reminds you of somewhere
day 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event
day 08 - a song that you know all the words to
day 09 - a song that you can dance to
day 10 - a song that makes you fall asleep
day 11 - a song from your favorite band
day 12 - a song from a band you hate
day 13 - a song that is a guilty pleasure
day 14 - a song that no one would expect you to love
day 15 - a song that describes you
day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate
day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio
day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
day 19 - a song from your favorite album
day 20 - a song that you listen to when you’re angry
day 21 - a song that you listen to when you’re happy
day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad
day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding
day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral
day 25 - a song that makes you laugh
day 26 - a song that you can play on an instrument
day 27 - a song that you wish you could play
day 28 - a song that makes you feel guilty
day 29 - a song from your childhood
day 30 - your favorite song at this time last year


And here's my 'day 1' song.


Favourite song is a tough one. I'd go by play count on iTunes, but that maybe isn't reflective of my current taste. I'd go by recently played, but that isn't reflective of the 'fairness' of shuffle (I swear my shuffle is biased towards metal). I'd go by rating, but that's always changing with me.


So I'll go by, well, all of them. I'm already cheating a bit.


My top played song on iTunes, with an abysmal 80 plays,  (I've only had this iTunes account for a year and a bit, and I'm not the sort to just listen to one song over and over) is Paramore - Misguided Ghosts. This is the nice acoustic-y song on their most recent album 'Brand New Eyes'. I love it because Hayley (<3) sings about trying to find a purpose and direction to life, and trust me, being almost 18 and confused and stuff, I can relate. Then again, I'm pretty sure most people have has this problem at some point in their lives, particularly in their teens. I know very few people who know what they want to do, and have known for some time, and there is no way of that changing.

My recently played songs show a very different edge to my music taste. Whereas I'm normally a fan of the old rock or metal kinda music, my most recently played song is actually B.o.B - Magic (featuring Rivers Cuomo). I'm finding that I'm really getting into rap, dance and, dare I say it, RnB recently. I like B.o.B, I've always liked Eminem, and Jay-Z's '99 Problems' makes an appearance on my iTunes too. I've also recently put Chase and Status and Nero's new song's on my Playlist. However, I digress. Magic is seriously a brilliant pick-me up song. Although it's basically B.o.B being big-headed, if you have a side that means you can say to yourself 'God, I'm (pardon my french) fucking fantastic, why am I not, y'know, leader of the free world?', then Magic is great because you can say all of this and make it seem like Bobby Ray is talking to you. Bliss.
Here, have some self-esteem music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq-NShfefks


RATING now, and the highest played 5 star song (I have 9 5-star songs on my iTunes), is Bring Me The Horizon - It Never Ends. The seeming 'hit' from their new album (I can't be bothered to type so I'll abbreviate it), TIAHBMISI,TIAHLKIAS, lead vocalist Oli Sykes bangs on about how the band have had some shitty times, how he's had some shitty times, and how when these shitty times come about they seem never ending. Depressing yes, Lyrically though, It's like sex for ears. Most people who listen to it hate it, because they hate 'screamy' music, and when I say 'listen to the lyrics' they say 'I can't hear any'/ BUUUUULLSHIT. BMTH went more vocally driven after Count Your Blessings, and to do this Oli actually changed his voice so that his lyrics could be heard. And when you listen to the lyrics, they're fantastic. The instrumentals are fantastic too, with epic double bass pedal work as usual from Matt Nicholls, and impressive backing guitar courtesy of Jona Weinhofen. Can you tell I like this song alot? I can.
Be in awe at the video too. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltbt9MaepFY


So there, 3 songs. If I had to narrow it down to one, It'd have to be BMTH, but at the end of the day I like all of the songs for different reasons, and, well, yeah.


Tomorrows music blog WILL be a rant, because it'll be me talking about my least favourite song. OH MY I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
I might even do it as a vlog.
WOAH.
Bye guys, go do some work you procrastinating person. Alliteration win. x

In-School Post

Hello my lovelies :)

Wasn't that the campest intro to any blog ever? Just a quick update, that the video I promised you on saturday might well be up tonight with a little bit of luck. On the other hand there might not be any video at all, due to me having a cold. And i'm in school. Thank God for having 2 free's this morning, contemplating buggering off to aldridge for a hot chocolate and a fuckload of chocolate to make me feel better in the short term, a hell of a lot less well in the long run.

Tarraa a bit x

PAUL MCKENNA (amongst other things)

PAUL MCKENNA LOL WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HIM?
Well I just didn't do it did I. I did the program, for a bit, and i'm starting it again after I've read this, and it worked when I did it cause I lost 5 pounds and felt happier. Don't know why i stopped really. I just never did the diary bit
SORRY
And I haven't made a video for ages
DOUBLE SORRY
Right this saturday I'm making a new video, in which I announce a new format (cue oooohs and aaaahs)...
More to come on that innit, but yeah, it'll probably last for one week, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE I DO DOES
Also next week i might do a video everyday seen as though it's half term MAYBE (I fancy an impromptu trip to London, how about you?) and yeah STUFF
So since we last spoke I got a new job YAY and failed my driving test. twice. LOL
Ahh well, what to do, have a poo, put it in a stew, and leave it to simmer for 6 hours until the flavours are nicely packed into the meat, and serve with a selection of vegetables and new potatos. Season well.
LOVE YOU (Unless I don't, or you're a bit of a twat) x
