Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 11 Your Hits Just Keep on Comin'


This one's for you, folks. Your favorite songs - now or ever.

Today, at Erin O's suggestion, I - and she - started the 30 Day Song Challenge. Appropriately enough, day 1 is "your favorite song. " Coincidence, mayyyybe.

So, we all know what mine is (or you will if you click on that very dated photo). Now - here are yours...

CIGARETTES & CHOCOLATE MILK: Rufus Wainwright
Aly
- he shows up on these discs an awful lot

STAR WITNESS: Neko Case
Amanda
- Neko Case could turn me. i swear.

I'M NOT YOUR TOY - La Roux
Blake
- i'm guessing this a favorite song right now, being as it is not by REM or the Dead Milkmen, Blake

DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Aunt Christy
-it's a Travelin' Wilbury!

L'HOMME DES MARIAS: Les Negresses Vertes
Katherine
- this speaks volumes

white Americans, what?
nothing better to do?
why don't you kick yourself out
you're an immigrant too.

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND: Pink Floyd
Liz
-maybe one of my favorite Floyd songs, too
