"Your Life in an Album Title"
NPR's Robin Hilton blogged on the All Songs Considered site, posing the question, "what album name best sums up your life?" I was in a mildly goofy mood, so I took a stroll through my iTunes collection and pulled some album titles that could be used to sum up various lives. Giggle away (maybe?).
For a life sprinkled with regret:
What Have I Done - Anna Ternheim
A Hangover You Don't Deserve - Bowling for Soup
Yeah I Know - Darlings
What is All This Sweet Work Worth? - Milton & The Devils Party
For a life that was... wild, shall we say?:
Maybe You Should Drive - Barenaked Ladies
Joy Ride - Bob James
Nothing Left to Lose - Mat Kearney
Caught in the Trees - Damien Jurado
For a life that was just plain crazy:
Short Bus - Filter
Waiting For My Rocket to Come - Jason Mraz
Expensive Vomit in a Cheap Hotel - Sleeping in the Aviary
Some People Have Real Problems - Sia
And maybe tinged with aggression:
Evil Urges- My Morning Jacket
Beauty & Crime - Suzanne Vega
Cut You - Penelope Houston
For the life of optimism and/or ease:
Some Mad Hope - Matt Nathanson
Roll On - The Living End
You Can Have What You Want - Papercuts
Life of Leisure - Washed Out
All Good Things - Pacha Massive
But maybe life has been hard:
Survival - Forest Fire
Everything Goes Wrong - Vivian Girls (isn't that depressing?)
For the driven:
In Motion - Copeland
Plans - Death Cab for Cutie
Something to Be - Rob Thomas
For the not so driven:
Ambivalence Avenue - Bibio
And as for me?:
Paste Sampler 52. It's poetic, I know.
Cheers.
