So, I got engaged about a month ago. On the 4th of June 2011.

I just had my engagement party this past weekend, on the 9th of July 2011.

I spent some time choosing the songs, to try and choose not only songs that would get the party started, or songs that I love, but also songs that I know my fiancee loves. Sometimes I would choose my favourite song from one of her favourite artists (e.g. Spoon - The Underdog), and sometimes her favourite song by one of my favourite artists (e.g. Regurgitator - Superstraight).

Anyway, here is the list, in reverse played order from that night:

Ben Kweller – Wasted and Ready
Gomez – Girlshapedlovedrug
The Bens – Just Pretend
The White Stripes – You're Pretty Good Looking (For a Girl)
Regurgitator – ! (The Song Formerly Known As)
Los Campesinos! – My Year In Lists
The Grates – Sukkafish
Jens Lekman – You Are the Light
The Get Up Kids – Mass Pike
Brand New – Soco Amaretto Lime
The Black Keys – Tighten Up
Prince – 1999
The Black Keys – Have Love Will Travel

Self explanatory really. I sang for a good 200+ people in a way I had never done before.... with ALL of my friends and co-workers by my side. I cannot express the feeling that ran through me; of course, as many of you knew I am used to singing and singing solos, but this! This was definitely something special, and an emotional rollercoaster it was too.

Yes, I will miss the people that leave my life, that go on to achieve their dreams, that go on to complete the next chapter of their lives, but that's not to say they'll leave me completely without a trace. Many of you special people have made your mark, especially Lizzie and Josh! You've both been with me as instrument buddies, and as great great friends. I'll be seeing you around, Josh, but Lizzie's off to a distant land far away! (I kid! ;) ) I wish you the best of luck to come, missy! Keep in touch!

Indeed, many people in the audience had not heard me sing, and so approached me post-concert, if you like, to congratulate me and others around me. …

Some of these are obviously speculative:

BAND NAMES
36 Crazyfists = Title of a 1977 martial arts film directed by and starring Jackie Chan.
Amon Amarth = The Sindarin translation of Mount Doom, a volcano in J.R.R. Tolkien's book series, "The Lord of the Rings."
As I Lay Dying = Title of a novel by William Faulkner.
Atreyu = Character from the novel and film, "The NeverEnding Story."
Between the Buried and Me = Lyrics from the Counting Crows' song, "Ghost Train."
The Black Dahlia Murder = Reference to the unsolved 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short.
Casey Jones = Character from the cartoon series, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
Catch 22 = Title of a novel by Joseph Heller.
Chiodos = Reference to the filmmakers Stephen, Charles, and Edward Chiodo.
The Devil Wears Prada = Title of a novel by Lauren Weisberger.
The Dillinger Escape Plan = Reference to the infamous Depression-era bank robber, John Dillinger, who escaped from jail twice.
