Bar Study Soundtrack

I haven’t had time to listen to music lately, but I thought I'd compile a list of music I would listen to this summer if I did have time. I know: lists are cheesy and uncreative, but since my own creativity is totally stifled, I'll let the words of others speak for me. I’ve tried to select songs with descriptive titles because, you know, who has time to actually listen…

The Ponys – Let’s Kill Ourselves
Rage Against the Machine – Bullet in the Head
Deftones – My Own Summer (Shove It)
The Damned – Alone Again Or…
The Pixies – Where is My Mind?
Bad Religion – Suffer
Radiohead – We Suck Young Blood
Rolling Stones – 19th Nervous Breakdown
Jay-Z – 99 Problems
Nine Black Alps – Shot Down
Modest Mouse – Alone Down There
Mission of Burma – Heart of Darkness
Operation Ivy – Jaded
Joy Division – Isolation
Joy Division – In a Lonely Place
Pink Floyd – Brain Damage
Jay-Z – Hard Knock Life
Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire
Tricky – Hell is Round the Corner
Guns n’ Roses – Right Next Door to Hell
The Clash – Straight to Hell
Colder – Burnt Out
Wrens – Destruction-Drawn
The Clash – Hateful
The Cure – Doubt
Placebo – The Bitter End
Bad Religion – Fuck Armageddon… This is Hell

I think this compilation pretty much sums up my summer, but feel free to add other titles that would flesh out the list or convey your own experiences.

One of DS's all time favorite songs--

Dinosaur Jr. - Feel the pain

I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
Is it up to me?

That pretty much sums it up.

Can someone more creative than me write lyrics for "Piece of Shit Bar" to the tune of Adam Sandler's "Ode to My Car?" The thing writes itself.

Piece of shit bar,
I'm taking a piece of shit bar,
That fuckin' pile of shit
Feels like a bucket of tar.

Like I said, more creative than me.

Maybe it's good this comment is rather late, so I won't get ridiculed for it. And not that I suggest or advocate listening to the song, but the title is appropriate.

Bananarama - Cruel Summer
