Mix #3: Rewind

Some older songs that I've been into recently for your listening enjoyment. Not all of them are non-embarrassing, since these are all songs from while I was in my last few years of middle school and first few years of High School and I've graduated already, but they're all a pretty good listen.

Enjoy

Ten tracks.

Ten bands.

Ten videos.

Enjoy.

Language Lessons (Five Words Or Less) - Hawthorne Heights


I got this album my Freshman year.
Wow I'm getting older now...
That's like the reality that the kid I babysat is now in middle school
WTF.
This song is fantastic though. It made it onto one of my first high school mixtapes. 

***

We Used To Be Friends - The Dandy Warhols


This song was the theme song for popular yet sadly defunct teen neo-noir show Veronica Mars.
I sort of obsessed.
I'm STILL sort of obsessed.
The Dandy Warhols are also just... epic. 

***

The Plastic Surgery Hall of Fame - Schoolyard Heroes


Epic Seattle band.
Epic song.
Sad that they stopped playing and recording... 

***

Please Please Please - Shout Out Louds


I love the Shout Out Louds, and I love this song.
To those who don't often watch One Tree Hill, this is off of the Friends With Benefits album.

***

Getaways Turned Holidays - Meg & Dia


This also made it onto one of my first high school mixes. 

***

Revolution - The Veronicas


Love this song.
Got this CD when I was...
A sophomore, I believe.
This video also makes me happier than anything.

***

Put Your Records On - Corinne Bailey Rae


When my mum and I moved down from Seattle, she freaked.
So I told her it would be okay and put this song on.
And it was.
Now I'm getting three little birds tattooed on my ankle, for my mum.

***

Simple - Katy Perry


From *before* she kissed a girl...
It was in Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants.

***

She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5


Maroon 5 never quite died.
Never quite thrived, either.
But this song used to make me smile so much...
And yeah, I guess it still does.

Such Great Heights - The Postal Service


This ended up being the basis for a painting I did my junior year.
I love The Postal Service.
I hope you do to.
