105 days into the 365: a year in songs and photos project, PJ made a suggestion that I list all the songs I have used.

I have the same passion for music that I have for photography. Thankfully, listening to music isn't as expensive a hobby as buying camera equipment. I love to share both my pictures and music and this project was a great way of combining my two loves and spreading the joy I get from both. But PJ was right - I was sharing the music I listen to, but just sharing the song titles or lyrics. Why not share the music as well? So I set about listing every song I've used, writing a line or two about the band or song, and linking to a video or somewhere you can listen to the tune. Hopefully, I'll give you some new music to listen to, or maybe an old favorite to enjoy again.

This took me HOURS! HOURS, I tell you. At least I finally found out where I'm missing days.

Well, folks, it looks like my trouble with numbers will be my downfall yet again. This should have been day 22. But I called it Day 23. So my 100th day was actually my 99th day and....crap. I am NOT going back and numbering them all again. I'll just tack an extra photo on at 365 and call it even.

I found it!

Day 23: Stormtroopers of Death, Milk. I love singing this song. And it's got such a cool bass line.

Day 25: MDC, I Hate Work. Awesome punk band from California via Texas. REAL punk.
Live videoDay 26: Mad Season, River of Deceit. I loved this band, which featured members of Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees. Depressing song, which I used in a tongue in cheek way on this photo.

Day 46: Cheap Trick, Surrender. With tacky KISS Christmas ornament.
Video. Brings me back.

Day 47: Fall Out Boy, Sugar We're Going Down. The most infectious songs on my iPod.

Day 48: Glassjaw, Pretty Lush. Long Island screamo band. Hey, I don't make these labels up. I just listen.
VideoDay 49: Captain Sensible, One Christmas Catalog Too Many. Love the captain. And this is my favorite color photo of the bunch.

VideoDay 54: Perry Como, The Christmas Song.
I'm quite sure you know this.

Day 55: AFI, A Winter's Tale. I used to love this band before they went all Hot Topic on me. I would love to retake this photo. Good idea, not executed well.

live videoDay 61: Death Cab For Cutie, The New Year. My daughter got me into this band.
VideoDay 62: Donny Osmond, Puppy Love. It was the obvious choice.
Video, 1972. My god. The memories of being in love with him. Man, I'm old.

Day 63: Soundgarden, Blow Up The Outside World. Before Chris Cornell turned into a girl. He was only half girl here. He was all man on Badmotorfinger.

Day 64: Smashing Pumpkins, Blank Page. The midst of my muse crisis.
I'm linking to this instead of the song because it never fails to crack me up.

Day 65: GBH, Midnight Madness and Beyond. The best punk band you never listened to.
Can't find it, so here's a live version of City Baby Attacked By RatsDay 66: Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy, Kiss Me. In which I get my 80's new wave on.
Listen. Hold on while I dance for a little while.

Day 67: Fear, New York's Alright. Here's a story by Todd about a Fear show that turned into a riot.

Day 68: Queens of the Stone Age, Quick and to the Pointless. Yes, another QOTSA song.
Video.Day 69: Queens of the Stone Age: Auto Pilot. Umm..yea. I get on kicks sometimes.
Video. In my top five favorite of theirs.

Day 70: Wu Tang Clan, C.R.E.A.M. Dolla dolla bill, y'all. One of the finest albums ever recorded.
VideoDay 71: Adam Ant, Yin + Yang. I really reached for this one.
No video, so here's his best song.

Day 72: The Cure, A Forest. Guess I was in "Band from my wild years" mode.
VideoDay 73: Suicidal Tendencies, Go Skate. I really love this picture. And I love skate punk.
A video of a videoDay 74: Youth Brigade, Sink With California. More skate punk. Complete with California shaped birthday cake.
VideoDay 75: Atmosphere, Trying To Find A Balance. Go see out the album Seven's Travels right now. Complete awesomeness.
Video. Give it a listen. Great lyrics, great beats.

Day 76: Phantom Planet, California. You probably know this song from it being the them to The OC. So I'm going to link to another song by them that rocks. And there's zombies in the video!
Watch

Ok, here's where we get lost. This is when I went to California. I still haven't gone back and posted a photo from each day there. Guess I should do that. So don't mind the missing days.

Day 78: Descendents, Weinerschnitzel. Mmmm...chili dogs.
Video. The song is about 11 seconds long.

Day 79: Frank Zappa, Who Needs the Peace Corps. Tales of Haight Ashbury and the broken dreams of my childhood.
Can't find it, so here's a clip of Zappa on Letterman.

Day 81: The Who, Tattoo. Oh yea. Five hours watching someone get a tattoo. Actually, it was more interesting than it sounds.
VideoDay 82: The Vandals, Rico. The best song about California ever written. With my love letter to Sacramento.
Sadly, I can't find this online. Email if you want to hear it. But here's another Vandals song for you, The Legend of Pat Brown.

Days 83 and 84 will have to be thrown in at the end.

Day 85: Faith No More, Last Cup of Sorrow
Neat video, with Jennifer Jason Leigh

Day 86: The Von Bondies, Broken Man. The best rock and roll band you are not listening to. Did I say that already?
Crap quality live videoDay 87: 50 Cent, Candy Shop. Sometimes listening to his stuff gives me the creeps.
VideoDay 88: Meat Puppets, Fruit.
No Fruit video, but here they are doing Oh, Me, which Nirvana covered beautifully.

Day 89: Blind Melon, Three Is A Magic Number (Schoolhouse Rock). I heard Blind Melon is touring. I hate when bands replace singers. I mean yea, he's dead. But change the band name and move on. Replacing singers never turns out well. Except when Faith No More did it.
VideoDay 90: Tom Chapin, Happy Birthday. Kids music that adults find more than tolerable.
No birthday video, but here's a cute song about the states.

Day 91: Indyanna, Go National. I wish this band got more recognition. Good stuff.
Here they are at Old Ironsides singing Stealing is Wrong.

Day 92: Dead Milkmen, I Hate Myself. In which I take a photo of a toilet bowl.
Struck out yet again on a video, but here's the band doing Stuart.

Day 93: Quicksand, Thorn in My Side. In my top 20 of favorite songs ever.
Video. Get your anger on.

Day 94: Adolescents, Wrecking Crew. My favorite picture of Lili.
A bad sound recent performance of the song. Didn't know they were still around til I saw a flyer for a show in Sacramento.

Day 95: Filter, One. Such a great cover. And I still haven't found my ring.
VideoDay 96: Swingin Utters, Five Lessons Learned. I'll be using more from this punk band pretty soon.
ListenDay 97: Hanson Brothers, The Hockey Song. Fun, fun Canadian punk by the guys from NoMeansNo. And a hockey bet lost.
Video

Day 98: Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty. I've been on an STP kick lately, after ignoring them for so many years.
VideoDay 99: Bouncing Souls, Hopeless Romantic. Fun song, fun band
VideoDay 100: The Fray, Hundred. I'll be honest. I only knew of this song from my daughter and I needed a song with 100 in the title. Then I listened, and liked. So I learned a little musically from this as well. Photo includes about 40 notes.
Live videoDay 101: The Who, In the Blue and Red and Gray. Finally got a copy of this song. Very sweet. Really like the words, which fit nicely on this photo.
VideoDay 102: Judas Priest, All Guns Blazing. Rip-it-up metal, to go with a lame ass phot of some rip-it-up video games. Hey, I've been sick. I try.
Live video. Rob Halford rocks.

Day 103: The Von Bondies, C'mon, C'mon. I might have said this already, but if you don't own this album you are missing out. I've been playing it non stop in my car for about three weeks and I'm not even near sick of it.
VideoDay 104: Meatloaf, Paradise By the Dashboard Light. Why, it feels like just yesterday when I wrote about my hatred of this song....oh, it was!
Hah! I found a video of a couple doing it at a wedding!

And that's it. From now on I will write a little about the band and link, if possible, to the song when I do my 365 photo each night.

When I first started this, the idea was to take a song from my library and take a photo to go with it. Somewhere down the line, I was taking photos and finding songs to go with them. I'd like to challenge myself more with the camera by going back to the other way of doing it.

Now that you sort of know my musical tastes, feel free to make requests for songs I could do for the rest of this project. It doesn't have to necessarily be the song title that is to go with the photo, it could be a specific lyric as well.
