I did eventually get that copy of Kerplunk! I spent birthday money on it. We went right back to Blockbuster Music, where it had been but no longer was. I FREAKED OUT. They looked it up in the system, and the computer said they had it. They had to go dig around in boxes for it. I also got the copy of 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. I threw a tantrum of EPIC proportions when we were back in the car, and I don’t remember why my mom gave me the money for it, but that she did. I had to run back into the store and get it, wiping tears off my cheeks.

I share with you my newest trip down memory lane…

Green Day – "21 Guns" – HD

Here’s a music meme to reflect how eclectic your music collection might be. Put your music library in alphabetical order by song, then take the first song for each letter of the alphabet. No repeat artists. Tag five people then let them know they’ve been tagged to do the meme themselves.

A – Addicted to Me – The Click Five
B – Bab’s Uvula Who? – Green Day
C – Cailin – Unwritten Law
D – Daisy – Switchfoot
E – Easier to Be – Lifehouse (It’s actually Easier then Love by Switchfoot, but I already used that band!)
F – Face Down – The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
G – Galaxy – Jason Mraz
H – Half-Life – Duncan Shiek (Hallelujah – Jeff Buckley is 2nd! LOVE that song!)
I – I’ll Be Loving You Forever – New Kids on the Block (hahahaha)
J – Jackson – Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon
K – Karma – Alicia Keys
L – L.O.V.E – Ashlee Simpson
M – Mad as Rabbits – Panic! At the Disco

P – Paper Bag – Anna Nalick (Actually, Panic Song – Green Day, but I used them already!)
Q – Quicksand – Incubus
R – R-Evolve – 30 Seconds to Mars
S – Sad Songs – Matt Nathanson (Actually, S.O.S – ABBA, but I used them already!)
T – Tailor Made – Colbie Caillat
U – Under the Moonlight – Travis
V – Val Kilmer – Bowling for Soup
W – Waiting – The Rocket Summer
X – XO – Fall Out Boy

Alternately, I decided to alphabetize by Artist Name and pick the first artist & song name, which proved to be a bit more embarrassing.

K – Kelly Clarkson – Never Again
L – The Last Goodnight – Pictures of You
M – Mandy Moore – Only Hope

O – O.K Go – Here We Go Again (love this video!)
P – P!nk – Stupid Girls
Q – (none!)
R – R.E.M – Everybody Hurts

WOOHoO!! Congrats to David Cook, the new American Idol!!! I hope he’s insanely famous and comes out with an awesome cd, because I think I’d like a cd he did better than any of the other contestants. I also like how he made all of his fellow contestants come hang out with him while he sang.

Way to go, David C!!
