My History in Music volume Six; Now that it's the End, What do we do now?

1.Mass Romantics; The New Pornographers- two memories follow this song wherever I go, my first trip to Seattle, and walking around the University of Utah campus singing out loud to this song.
2.Whatever I feel like
3.Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots;The Flaming Lips- This one brings the memory of being dressed in a giant green frog suit and dancing on stage with the flaming lips. Shinning lights into the crowd and at the very end of the set going out into the crowd and hugging everyone I could.
4.The Sound of settling; Death Cab for Cutie- College is over for a time. They came to perform for the end of the year. I love this song in particular because even when we settle we can be happy.
5.For What it's Worth; The Cardigans- I've had this female voice inside my head for years now and I've been trying to match it in different voices, this band comes close. It reminds me of the end of my last semester and right before we started looking for a house.
6.Wonderwall; Cat Power- Another attempt to quiet the voice. A great singer that brings raw emotion I don't hear very often. Her own stuff is amazing but this cover turned me on to her.
7.The Man Comes Around; Johnny Cash- The Last album Cash released before dyeing. It blew me away; I particularly like this song for the great intro and the chorus. It feeds my religious upbringing as well.
8.Float On; Modest Mouse- This one brings me back to moving to Sandy and walking to the Trax station on my way to downtown or school. I saw this guy live and actually got turned off by his personality and sold the three albums I owned but then this song came out and I feel in love with them again I just can see them live or I might hate him all over again.
9.Mr.Brightside; The Killers- This is one of those songs that Jacq turned me onto I didn't really care for them until I saw them live.
10.I Know I Know I Know; Tegan and Sara- the opening band for the Killers. Two small twin girls that can rock. I listened to their CD nostop while house hunting.
11.Cage Fighter
12.The Comeback; The Shout Out Louds- A great band from Sweden that blew me away when I saw them on the Letterman show. This was right after we moved to Layton. It's a great opener.
13.Hallaback Girl;Gwen Stefani- OK this isn't my typical flavor but it brings back memories of mario and Brett and the Main Library that I started working at. Good times with Good People.
14.Don't Phunk With My Heart; The Black Eyed Peas- One more for the road another library song that makes me want to dance dance dance.
15.Mistress;Inara George- I finally found that voice that filled my head. She was up on stage and and singing this song looking right at me, I felt powerless.
16.Do You Realize??;The Flaming Lips-I knew when I first heard this song I'd need to hear it again when my grandfather died. I've been waiting for ten years to say goodbye to him and when it did I wasn't ready.
17.Oh Well;Fiona Apple- This marks a high and low point in my life and the beginning of my marital problems in the newest version. It was after our Tampa trip and seeing fiona and coldplay live. Great show. This song also reminds me of my time cleaning toilets at the north branch early in the mornings I still miss it. I never thought I would but I do.
18.Swallowed in the Sea;Coldplay- This reminds me of shoveling snow at the north branch also I'd sing a long as happy as a frozen pig.
19.Wort Video
20.Story of My Life;Social Distortion- There is no was to better end my history then with this song. In a weird way it describes my life so far.
21.Life Wasted;Pearl Jam- My New life motto
22.Life Wasted Reprise;Pearl Jam- Reminds me of seeing them live in Los Angeles for two nights in a row such a great experience.
23.Happy Trails; Roy Roger- My way of saying thank you for reading and listening to these mixes
24.Appendix: You Are the Everything;R.E.M.- This song belongs on volume three I forgot to add it and since then I kept trying to decide to add it or not to and so finally I did. This is a song that reminds me of Georgia better than any photograph or poem or even smell.
25.That's all folks
