Blog Party Music Week Tuesday



Today's songs: take you back to jr. high and/or high school

So here we are, and I get to pull out the stops and present you with the songs that didn't make the cut on December's Mix CD Swap (which I am still planning on reviewing, DESPITE certain missing Swap Member CDs).

Hey Mr DJ by Zhane:


I was grooving my head off to this song back in sixth grade! The hilarious thing is that I TOTALLY thought it was speaking to me: "It's Friday night and the weekend's here, I need to unwind, where's the party?" Ummm, the party was A SLEEPOVER AT MY FRIEND'S HOUSE, and no DJ was needed, y'all!

Right Here by SWV:

Oh my GOD, I can't even tell you how happy hearing this song again makes me. The truth is that this song was my secret shame in middle school since it SO wasn't "cool" like the Nirvana/Stone Temple Pilots I was "supposed" to be listening to. But I'm admitting to it now, and LOVING the "Human Nature" sampling even more than I did back then.

What's the Story, Morning Glory by Oasis:

The guitar "shredding" at the beginning of the song! HIGH SCHOOL LOVE! This sounds like 7:40am, weekday morning, hopping in the Taurus and getting down 7th Street to first period. I have to confess: freshman year, at the beginning of a note to one of my friends, I wrote "What's the story, morning glory?" instead of "What's up?"

NEED A LITTLE TIME TO WAKE UP?


Nugget by Cake: (explicit)

We're confessing embarassing things? I used to crank this after school, waiting in the interminable traffic lines at South to get on my way home. WITH MY WINDOWS DOWN. I THOUGHT I WAS SO COOL!

Here With Me by Dido:

Wow. This sounds just like my junior year of high school, desperation and all. LONG-DISTANCE DATING 101: Don't do it unless YOU CAN BOTH DRIVE.

I DON'T WANT TO CALL MY FRIENDS: THEY MIGHT WAKE ME FROM THIS DREAM!

SWV!!! I totally forgot about them! Oh, I loved this song too, esp the human nature sampling going on in the background. Thanks for making me smile!

I totally still like that album from Cake. Just because it brings back the best memories.
