Welcome to Gaia! ::

OK I want to try something and I want you guys to go along with it. I want you guys each to = make your own playlist of songs you think represent you. It can be something that represents your personality, reminds you of a loved one or about something that happened to you in your past. You can mark why you think they represent you if you want or you can just post the song. Ok so you get a max of 20 songs and it would be great if you would give like the youtube links to them or something. Also you can rate other peeps list and the person whos mix I like the most might get a prize! eek (This is a social thing first and a contest second so don't move it please kthanxbye)

My list (working on it. Note:I'm just listing the songs in the order they come to me not the order I would put em on the CD...just if anybody cares about that sorta thing. <---- is a**l about his music)

1: Weezer - "El Scorcho" (This is exactly how I felt when I first met my gf, I actually had the song playing in my head when I saw her. xp )
http://youtube.com/watch?v=7CEqVTWo4EI

2:Weezer - "Perfect Situation" (How I used to be around girls and still am kinda.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=WgR-l3fhygw

3: Weezer - "Beverly Hills" (I'm not rich and happy that way!)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=M4iTyHItFwg

4:MuteMath - "Break the same" (What I wish people would realize before we all go to war or fight over stupid s**t like what color a persons skin is)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=CVs0gOsGiv4 (Longer live version but the only good version I could find)

5:MuteMath - "Chaos" (This song has a few things in it that reflect alot of my life like the fact that complications just keep coming and I have trouble trusting people but err yeah not going to go to much into this one)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=DJSyFfEorns (crappy video, awesome song)

6:The Killers - "Shadow Play" (obviously this song has more then one meaning but for me it represents the feeling of being alone even when your surrounded by people)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=FIe3IgmdSlI

7:Jim's Big Ego - Stress (Think it explains itself. xd )
http://youtube.com/watch?v=p7EONScLrHg

Ok I'm done for the night, seriously somebody make somethign because I spent like 3 hours on this and I don't want this post to go to waist...although it's all going onto a CD anyway but thats not the point here!

Well I'll give it a go

1. On the outside - Oingo Boingo (it's sounds cliched but hey I can identify with it)
This is the only video I could find of it and I love this show and it really fits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhi_1BVp29o

2. I'm still here - John Rzeznik (This is pretty much how I feel around most people my age)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rtNcaQvFvI

3. Pokemon original theme (What can I say, pokemon was my childhood)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh-7RQWZ0Gs

4. I'm a loser - The Beatles (not quite how the title makes it sound)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KynpC1e9I9E

5. People are strange - Originally the Doors but I prefer the Echo and the Bunnymen cover (Pretty much my view of the world)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sj3FbfuFV8

6. The Young Ones Theme - originally by Cliff Richard but slightly adapted... (how your youth should, not filled with all this bloody revision)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPEGt4A7zjA

7. Benedictus - Strawbs (I'm not exactly religious but this gets to me and I had to have something cheerful on here ^_^)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB5Ue9S3XwE

8. The Game Pieces - Fairport Convention (I don't know how this fits but it does...)
No video couldn't find one, couldn't even find any lyrics

That'll do for now, I gave it my best shot

Word. Yo.
It would be fun to actually make other members' mixes, too.

This is just a beginning.

el-p :: The overly dramatic truth
it's about an older man with a younger girl, i believe. which really has
nothing to do with my life at all. i have always dated men around my
same age. but it makes me really emotional. i guess that is what it is
supposed to be, hence the title. but i think it is sweet.
check.

rufus wainwright :: cigarettes and chocolate milk
hehe. yeah. vices are fun. 'nuff said.
check.

modest mouse :: i've got it all(most)
love these dudes and the clever song writing.
please ignore the hitler video.

velvet underground :: venus in furs
check.


bonnie 'prince' billy :: a minor place
talk about it later
not good quality, but eh.

pixies :: cactus
oh yeah baby. gimme that dress. this song makes me strangely tingly all inside. I don't care to go into further detail with that. So sex.
::anything off of surfer rosa really.
good times.

That's it for now.
I shall return. hehe.

Kate Nash - Dickhead (This song is something I can relate to very well. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of my ex best friend. I have known her since I was 4 and in February our friendship died. Pretty much she continued to be a d**k head and she has yet to realize how she is one, even though I have made it quite clear how.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=suaveqvlWP8

Thomas Newman - Drive Away (Always put me in creative mood. It'd dark and slightly happy which is a lot like me. This song has inspired a few piece of art.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2M8QGdZkaRg

Reel 2 Real - I Like to Move It (Perfect definition of times I don't get enough sleep causing me to be extremely hyper.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=VBnkJQWe0JQ

Flyleaf - I'm So Sick (Make me feel dark, perfect for when I'm depressed.)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JcmUKlze8t4

Thanks all for posting, I'll go and have a listen to all the list as well as update my own. xd
