My Top 25 at the Moment

To entice my readers back after my long absence, here is another post!

I was just looking at my top 25 most played songs on my itunes on my desktop. I think that its not totally accurate, as I think something of the Duke Spirit's Neptune should be on there. And Cold War Kids. But I dunno.

1. End of the Century -- Blur (43 times!)
2. I'm Shakin' -- Rooney (36)
3. Oxford Comma -- Vampire Weekend (34)
4. Wake Up -- Mezzanine Owls (30) (thanks corey!)
5. Subterranean Homesick Alien (unplugged) -- Radiohead (30)
6. Paint the Silence -- South (30) (that was during my OC obsession phase)
7. Unforgettable Season -- Cut Copy (29)
8. Far Away -- Cut Copy (29)
9. Time to Pretend -- MGMT (27)
10. Bryn -- Vampire Weekend (27)
11. Silver Thoughts -- Cut Copy (26)
12. Walcott -- Vampire Weekend (26)
13. Bodysnatchers -- Radiohead (25)
14. Campus -- Vampire Weekend (25)
15. Roundabout -- Axe Riverboy (24) (thanks again corey!)
16. House of Cards -- Radiohead (23)
17. Come Around -- Rhett Miller (23)
18. Midnight Runner -- Cut Copy (22)
19. Paranoid Android -- Radiohead (22)
20. She Moves in Her Own Way -- The Kooks (21)
21. Seaside -- The Kooks (21)
22. Subterranean Homesick Alien -- Radiohead (21)
23. You're a Wolf -- Sea Wolf (21)
24. Out There on the Ice Again -- Cut Copy (19)
25. Strangers in the Wind -- Cut Copy (18)


And after reviewing the list, I realized why its not entirely accurate. It's because my computer was in storage for 4 months. All of those songs were what was listening to in the spring. Most of them inspired by my husband and our first few months of dating. If you count both versions of subterranean homesick alien as one, that would be my number one song -- 50 times! That one was definitely inspired by my now husband. The first time I visited him in February at his house in Seattle and we were driving there from the airport, we drove down this long windy road to the water, and at the end of it was a sign "END OF COUNTY ROAD". I said to Mike "so you live on a country road, huh?" To which he replied with an outburst of laughter. Obviously I hadn't gotten enough sleep and couldn't read the sign well. Anyway, this became a joke between us and while listening to OK Computer over and over again between visits, we laughed at the aliens abducting the guy on a country lane late at night. We still have to steal that sign on his street.

Anyway, this summer I had the Duke Spirit on repeat, along with a lot more radiohead albums. And, as you can see, I listened to the whole second album of Cut Copy way too many times and I killed it. (I'm still looking for it on vinyl though, it is a must!)
