cmu 2003-2004 mix (if i can ever actually burn it to cd....)

1. billy joel- piano man
i was really surprised to learn that there are people in the world who don't know this song. it always brings back memories of generic parties and singing in a circle with drinks spilling on everyone. also of long road trips. a song that everyone needs to learn and love.

2. the ataris- san dimas high school football rules
ataris concert tradition: at the end of every show they have someone from the audience come up on stage and play the rhythm guitar part of this song. joe was supposed to play it when the ataris came to cmu but due to some unforeseen circumstances, he got to the concert late and wasn't standing front row center. and the girl who ended up playing the song sucked.

3. bare naked ladies- alcohol
self-explanitory i think. bare naked ladies are awesome. parties are awesome.

4. big bad voodoo daddies- you and me and the bottle makes three
for joe and his gin. by the way, i think gin and tonic is disgusting.

5. beach boys- california girls
for connor who likes girls too much. and because we sang this song awesomely at woodscotch fall 03. woohoo, four part harmonies!

6. outkast- hey ya
yeah. good song. christina accosta should always be singing. the first time i heard this song was at battle of the bands in the fall. christina singing in a funk band. awesome.

7. ben folds five- army
another song to sing while driving around in beth's car. the only song on that ben folds album that everyone actually knows.

8. collapsis- automatic
this album got me through a lot of road trips over the summer. i really like this song.

9. tenacious d- gently
because some girls just don't like the hard fucking....

10. beach boys- fun fun fun
another woodscotch fall 03 song. although it's a lot of fun to sing with joe and connor at random parties as well. we like to show off how we can still sing somewhat on key when drunk.

11. frank sinatra- i get a kick out of you
from anything goes. the third of those crazy proposals i was a part of. oh well. still a really good song. and frank is one cool cat.

12. kermit the frog- happy feet
tap dancing is awesome. ds sucks. what more can i say?

13. the pixies- wave of mutilation
the girls used this and other pixies songs as warmups for concerts so often. they played it on the cut for habitat and then cfa came out to yell at them for being too loud. how silly.

14. outkast- roses
roses really smell like poo poo poo. i swear that's what the lyrics should be.

15. mc chris- white kids love hip hop
because it's true. we drink box wine and we listen to weezer.

16. tears for fears- head over heels
for the 80's. woodscotch fall 03 and adam and whoever else acting out the sequence from donnie darko.

17. bon jovi- livin on a prayer
singing at the top of my lungs in beth's kitchen with the girls. so much fun. and this is the good version. not the crappy slow acustic version that sucks.

18. dashboard confessional- the good fight
joe played this song in my ear all year long while i was trying to do work in his room. i wish i could play it on guitar too.

19. something corporate- walking by
i just really like this song. it's so pretty. and to joe it has a lot of significance or something....

20. the eagles- desperado
for phil. the only song on the copy of the eagles cd he made for me that was messed up. and probably one of my favorite eagles songs.

21. rufus wainright- across the universe
i love this song and i love this cover of this song. finally got copies of both rufus wainright cds this past year.

22. simon and garfunkel- bridge over troubled water
thanks to all of those who have given me support over the past semesters. it's been tough, but i appreciate you being my bridges and helping me get through things.

23. radiohead- wolf at the door
creepy creepy creepy. had to go on at the end.


if you want a copy, let me know. also if you want a copy of last year's cd (02-03) let me know. that one is good also, at least in my opinion.

ps. i think everyone should make me a mix cd because it is fun and i like listening to other people's music. yay!
