A “Screw Everyone” Playlist

f-l-07-11-bright_eyes.jpg

You want nothing more than to slap your boss. And then to quit your job. You want to spit in your professor’s face. You want to tell your parents you’re joining the circus to make money for crack…JUST TO PISS THEM OFF. Today is the day you tell your best friend that those jeans DO make her ass look big because HER ASS IS BIG. You want to list off all of your exes to your guy who have been better in bed. That’s right. This is what I refer to as a “SCREW EVERYONE” day.

And they should never be spent without a soundtrack. So me and my Ipod went and made a playlist for these days.

Spent on Rainy DaysBRIGHT EYES (Indie)
BlueprintFUGAZI (Punk)
GravityDRESDEN DOLLS (Rock)
Today is the dayMOROS EROS (Indie/Experimental)
The EggSHINER (Indie/Alternative)
The Other” ISIS (Experimental/Metal)
The Never Aftermath THE END (Metal/Ambient)
In The Belly Of A SharkGALLOWS (Punk/Rock)
Complete and utter confusion” FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES (Experimental/Rock)
Set fire to the face on fireTHE BLOOD BROTHERS (Other/Punk)

So instead of taking your Screw Everyone day out on the people around you…why not just put on these songs and let out your angst the old fashioned way? You know…like a 14-year-old who just slammed her bedroom door in her mom’s face. And then locked the door. And then wrote “Screw EVERYONE” in her blog.

Morning After Blues: A Playlist

Whether you are waking up after an intense night of serious drinkingmorning.jpg or a romp in the sheets with a less-than-worthy male, these tunes are perfect for curing the morning-after blues. Don’t worry, sh*t happens to everybody!

1. My Alcoholic Friends – The Dresden Dolls
Pretty much all my drunken regrets can be blamed on one thing…my alcoholic friends.
2. Lua – Bright Eyes
It’s true – everything seems simple in the moonlight.
3. You Learn – Alanis Morissette
At least, we hope you learn.
4. Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight – Amos Lee
This song is peaceful, calm and reminds you that it really will be okay.
5. Shameless – Ani DiFranco
Ani never apologizes, so why should you?
6. Hey Jude – The Beatles
Classic.
7. Dry the Rain – Beta Band
I don’t really know why, but this song always makes me feel better.
8. You Gotta Be – Desiree
Take Ms. D’s advice and be bad, be bold, be wise…next time you’re drunk and in bed with a random boy.
9. It Don’t Matter – Donovan Frankenreiter
If it don’t matter to you, it don’t matter to me…mmkay?
10. Walk in my shoes – Emily King
And just remember if people try to make you feel bad for your decisions….nobody else walks in your shoes, so what do they know?
