I recently made a music mix. It is a fair representation of stuff that I have been listening to recently (beyond all the 80's music of which I never tire -- cf. Bowling for Soup's song below):
1. American Idiot (Green Day)
-- I played after Bush's inauguration
2. 1985 (Bowling for Soup)
-- for all of us who "know" that the 80's was the coolest
3. Meant to Live (Switchfoot)
4. Same Direction (Hoobastank)
5. Are You Gonna Be My Girl (Jet)
6. Extraordinary (Liz Phair)
-- Yeah, she sold out (and she's laughing all the way to the bank), but I still like the song
7. California (Phantom Planet)
8. Bend and Break (Keane)
--my new favorite keyboard/piano driven band
9. Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Green Day)
10. I'm Still Here (Vertical Horizon)
11. The Reason (Hoobastank)*
12. Heaven (Live)
13. I Dare You to Move (Switchfoot)*
--great song from a "Xian" band, very cool video
14. Let Go (Frou Frou)
--on the Grammy award winning Garden State sound track
15. This is the Last Time (Keane)
16. Look What You've Done (Jet)*
17. Learning to Breath (Switchfoot)
18. Forever (Vertical Horizon)
19. Somewhere Only We Know (Keane)*
