my dear friend mexie made a post in her eljay last night that i thought was rather neat. so i've decided to steal her idea and make my own post.
to quote her - "You know how songs or albums remind you of certain events in your life (even if they're kind of insignificant)? I've been thinking about it a bit lately. I wanted to compile a list of some of them, mostly for my own amusement. So yeah, I kind of did."
photobooth - death cab for cutie: driving through the blue mountains on my way back to uni. the sun was shining. this song was first on a mix tape. life was good.
apartment - custard: walking from central to the hordern pavillion to see custard and regurgitator with erin, rebecca and leah in 1999.
pinstripe - something for kate: spending the day with mel. watching a taping of some dumb foxtel music show to see sfk play a few songs. yelling out ironically for them to play pinstripe.
killian's red - nada surf: driving home from bathurst after i went back to visit in 2004. crying my eyes out the whole way home, and not really knowing why.
take me out - franz ferdinand: leaving their set at the 2006 big day out to go and dance by myself to sonicanimation. realising that things would never be the same.
99 problems - jay z: hanging out at work with james. making dumb jokes. half a mil for bail cause i'm african.
sunset strip - custard: driving to central station after v festival with erin and her brother. agreeing that this was one of our favourite custard songs.
the mordialloc rd duplicator - TISM: driving to canberra with adam to meet internet personality samuel gordon stewart.
in the mouth of a desert - pavement: being 17 and being so stoned i couldn't move. lying on the floor of my first love's bedroom.
she says it's alright - the rentals: all my teenage angst.
rip it up - 28 days: a boy from uni who didn't deserve my affections. this is the only band that hurts to listen to. serious.
generator - foo fighters: hanging out with rebecca. doing nate mendel impressions at the mercano set after the last day of year 12.
again i go unnoticed - dashboard confessional: catching the train home from my first real job. summer storms and resting my head on the shoulder of the boy i should never have let go.
telecaster - the crustaceans: wandering around melbourne by myself.

A fact you may be unaware of - the last two sentences regarding Rip It Up also apply to everyone else in the world with regards to that particular band.
Don't quote me, I'm not eloquent or anything, you could've said it much better.
And you said I needed more happy song memories!
@duce - yes, i am aware that 28 days are awful.
@mexie - you don't give yourself enough credit, lady.
also, i thought there would be more happy ones. i need to start working on that
