A few months ago while watching an episode of One Tree Hill Peyton, my favourite, compiles a list of 100 songs for her unborn child to listen to when he or she grows up. Sounds kind of morbid I know, but at the time Peyton was having many complications during her pregnancy and at one point doctors were telling her that if she were to have the baby she might die- hence the morbid list. I decided then that I wanted to do the same, no obviously not for an unborn child- that I can promise you, but just in general, 100 songs that have in one way or another affected me, certain songs carry certain memories and some songs are just great ones to dance to. You don't have to listen to them, I'm not asking you to even like them- I actually don't care if you like them or not, it's my list, not yours. The following is the 100 songs I came up with.

Good list :) I am in love with many of those songs, and I'm glad you included The Hip.
Thanks! I have songs for/from each of my ladies.
Have you heard the Ryan Dahle version of Agoraphobe? (I was looking at the MG songs listed) :)
I've heard the MG/Ryan Dahle version.. I didn't know Ryan did his own.
Mhmm, it is or at least was supposed to be on his album, whenever it might come out. MG has a link to listen here:

I feel horrible, and I'm having a brain fart... who are you? LOL I can't figure it out and I feel really bad =(
haha its me. I was at my friends house and I guess it was signed into her creepy ass blog. i am going to kill her. lol
Yes, the Ryan Dahle solo album version is right on that link: http://www.matthewgood.org/2008/04/ryan-dahle-readies-new-solo-release/
I have no idea if/when his solo album is actually going to be finished/released though; that post is over a year old.
I have an earlier Ryan Dahle demo of the song too (which has some remnants of the version w/ MG), I sent it to Tracy before... so I'm sure one of us could hook you up if you want it! :)
LOVE your playlist...My God we are so much alike! <3
@Jenicka hahaha I should have known just by how you were typing. I thought it was you and I was like, umm... did she change her name?!
@Jen I could have done more, and some might change, but I'm glad you love it!
