the ones that i might just have overhyped a little bit, this being the first decade where i have memories of every year and all.

2001: New Order - Get Ready
It was New Order's comeback album after 8 years of hiatus. It spawned three really successful and really good singles. It's edgy, it's a rock album, its lead Crystal is the self-confessed single biggest inspiration for The Killers. Problems? It's a little bit shit as a whole, and doesn't touch most of the rest of their back catalogue. Still I fanboid over this for quite some time and it did lead me to look into the rest of it, including buying the epicly good Joy Division box-set Heart and Soul.

2002: The Libertines - Up the Bracket
I started listening to this for the best of any reason to listen to an album - to get a hot girl talking to me. I mean why else would you listen to anything?

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way.
Got into this music business a bit late. This was my first album.

2004: Head Automatica - Decadence
Same reason, different girl.

The Others - The Others
THIS IS FOR THE POOR.

2005: Cage - Hell's Winter
One of the finest rap albums released ever period. Something perfect about the flow and the beats and the subject matter and the individual songs. The Franz Ferdinand of Def Jukies.

Lemon Jelly - '64-'95
FIRST GIG eee.

it makes me sad that it doesn't know my first track though ):
according to my last.fm it was So Contagious by Acceptance.

1. How did you get into 31?
Augustana - I think it was the phase I was in (right after installing Limewire) when I pretty much downloaded every band I'd heard in passing.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
The Canon Logic - 'I've Been Sleeping with Your Best Friend.' It was amusing.

3. What's your favorite lyric by 29?
Manchester Orchestra - I am but a clean man, stable and alone man / Make it so I won't have to try / The faces always stay the same / So I'll face the fact that I'm just fine / I said that I'm just fine. But the whole song is pretty amazing.

4. What is your favourite album by 49?
Every Avenue - Shh. Just Go with It. But that's only one I've heard, so not much competition.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
Maroon 5 - Two. Songs About Jane; It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2 Disc DVD edition).

6. Favorite song by 50?
Bloc Party - 'This Modern Love.' It was used in the season 1 finale of How I Met Your Mother (this is a good thing).

7. Is there a song by 4 that makes you sad?
Josiah Leming - Not really. His songs are surprisingly upbeat for a singer/songwriter, but 'Angels Undercover' is beautifully melancholy.

8. Favorite song by 15?
Lydia - I truly can't choose. Illuminate is honestly the only 5-star album I own, surpassing everything by even my most favorite of artists. I love all the songs on it.

9. Favorite song by 5?
Monty Are I - Regarding 5-star albums, Wall of People comes pretty close: 5/11 are 5-starred in my iTunes. Overall favorite songs are 'Dublin Waltz,' 'Just in Time,' and 'Tie Off Your Veins.'

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Yellowcard - I haven't listened to them in a long while, but I'm particularly fond of 'Breathing,' and 'You and Me and One Spotlight.'

11. Favorite album by 40?
The Avett Brothers - They were playing on Letterman while I was channel-surfing, so I'd like to think it's fate that I discovered them. They performed 'I and Love and You,' and that album has to be my favorite.

12. Favorite song by 12?
Coldplay - Let me be cliche and predictable but I adore 'Yellow,' 'Don't Panic,' and 'Fix You.' I also have a (very) soft spot for 'Swallowed in the Sea.'

13. What's a good memory involving 33?
Jonathan Larson - One of my best friends and I drove eight hours to Atlanta to see 'Rent' performed by the national touring cast. It's one of the happiest memories of my life.

14. Favorite song by 37?
Copeland - 'The Last Time He Saw Dorie.' The perfect combination of lushness and melancholy.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
The Honorary Title - 'Frame by Frame.' It's the only one I could think of that wasn't depressing. Or maybe I'm just not listening to the lyrics. But either way, it's a terrific song.

16. How many times have you seen 24 live?
Good Old War - Zero. They would be great to see, though.

17. What was the first song you heard by 23?
Luna Halo - 'Kings & Queens,' and needless to say, I was instantly in love.

18. Favorite album by 11?
Death Cab for Cutie - Even though there are better songs on other albums, I'd say Plans is the most consistent and listenable. At least there aren't any of those song which meander aimlessly for 6+ minutes.

19. Favorite member of 1?
Blue October - Justin, undoubtedly. Lead singer, principal songwriter, what else can you ask for? He's amazing.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live?
Elliott Smith - No. Umm, he's kinda dead.

21. What's a good memory involving 45?
Lights - I was at my best friend's house, and he bought from iTunes the songs I couldn't find on Limewire. Good times.

22. What's your favourite song by 16?
The Living End - These guy kind of remind me of Green Day: their songs were hilariously irrelevant before they decided to go all political and shiz. Favorites are 'Maitland Street' and 'Hey Hey Disbeliever.'

23. First song you ever heard by 47?
David Cook - I don' t remember, but it was something he sang on American Idol.

24. Favorite album by 21?
A Fine Frenzy - As much as I appreciate the new direction she's taken in her latest album, I still have a soft spot for One Cell in the Sea. Besides, the album cover is way better.

25. Favorite song by 18?
My Chemical Romance - 'Thank You for the Venom.'

26. First song by 38?
Head Automatica - 'Beating Heart Baby.' But it's far from my favorite at the moment.

27. Favorite lyric by 3?
The Rocket Summer - And all I have is all of me / And it's all that I can give.

28. Favorite song by 2?
Bright Eyes - There are way too many to choose from, but I'll try. 'Four Winds,' 'Reinvent the Wheel,' 'A Scale, A Mirror, and these Indifferent Clocks,' 'Gold Mine Gutted,' 'A Perfect Sonnet,' 'Something Vague,' 'Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh.' I'm pretty sure there are more, though.

29. First song you heard of 10?
Marianas Trench - 'Cross My Heart.'

30. Favorite song by 8?
Matchbox Twenty - 'Downfall,' 'So Sick So Tired.'

31. How many times have you seen 17 live?
Rob Thomas - Zero.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy?
Donovan - Pretty much everything. 'Happiness Runs,' 'Celia of the Seals,' 'Sunshine Superman,' 'Hurdy Gurdy Man.'

33. Favorite album by 12?
Maroon 5 - I can't choose; I love both.

34. Worst song by 9?
Owl City - Probably 'Dental Care,' because it's absolutely pointless. I mean, it's about going to the dentist.

35. What's the first song you heard by 34?
Faber Drive - '24 Storey Love Affair.'

36. Favorite album by 42?
Her Space Holiday - 'The Young Machines.' Adored unconditionally.

37. How many times have you seen 39 live?
Monty's Fan Club - Zero. Sadly, they don't exist anymore.

38. What's your favorite album by 35?
Regina Spektor - Even though Begin to Hope has the classic songs, I think I might prefer Far, just because of 'Dance Anthem of the 80s.'

39. What's the first song you heard by 28?
Ludo - 'Love Me Dead.'

40. What's your favorite album by 7?
The Wallflowers - Even though all their albums are amazing, Breach just hits closer to home personally.

Hummingbirds are among the smallest of birds and feed on the nectar of plants. They can hover in mid-air — their tiny wings beating at a frequency of up to 90 times per second — and can even fly backwards.

Today's playlist includes tracks by: Head Automatica, Hell Is for Heroes, Her Space Holiday, HORSE the band, The Hush Sound

Fri 24 Jul – Head Automatica, Cubic Zirconia

Julie: So, this was my first time seeing Head Automatica, and their opener, Cubic Zirconia (or Zerconia, I am not sure). I started the evening by getting REALLY DRUNK at the bar downstairs at the Black Cat, but was unfortunately too sober to handle Head Automatica and Daryl Palumbo's over-enthusiastic crotch grabbing. Not to mention we were WAY too close to the stage. As in, between sets I was sitting on the edge of it. Which meant that a) Daryl's crotch grabbing was less than a foot from my face and every time he leaned down I had to lean back and b) Lanie almost took the neck of the bass guitar to her head.
