You knew this was coming...

Ah yes, the last resort of the blogger with nothing to blog about... a meme. The good old turn-on-music-player-of-choice-and-list-the-first-30-songs etc... It's been done, but hey, there are probably some interesting things buried in my library.

1. You Can Bring Your Dog (live in Philly) - Tori Amos
2. I Don't Love You - My Chemical Romance (The video for this is one big WTF moment. It probably wasn't their intent, but it cracks me up every time I see it, especially the girl with the freaky anime-huge eyes. And Gerard's emoting.)
3. We Never Change - Coldplay
4. Nina - The Fratellis
5. Love Turns 40 - Vienna Teng (See, this is good. I forgot how much I love this song...)
6. Flowers and Football Tops - Glasvegas (Depressing as hell. Oh wait, that's the whole album...)
7. Mary Blaize - Kate Rusby
8. Godspeed - Jenny Lewis
9. Instead of My Saints - Thea Gilmore
10. She Has No Time - Keane (Saw these guys live recently. Good show.)
11. What If - Emilie Autumn (The only thing that bothered me about Opheliac was the lack of songs like this. Just lovely.)
12. What's the Use of Wond'rin? - Amanda Palmer (Quietly pretty and utterly creepy at the same time. Kudos Amanda.)
13. How We Fight - The Animators
14. The Islander - Nightwish (Nightwish attempts to do Irish and halfway succeeds. Also serves as a reminder that oh yeah, Marco can actually sing.)
15. Famous Last Words (live) - My Chemical Romance (Talking of people who can actually sing, check the awesome backing vocals from Ray here. Way to hit the high notes, dude.)
16. Not Dying Today - Tori Amos ("Neil is thrilled he can claim he's mammalian/But the bad news he said girl you're a dandelion/Well I need to think about that/Well I thought about that and I said, what the hell?" My sentiments exactly, Tori. I think I might actually hate this song more than "Ireland," and that's saying something.)
17. Neverending Story - Within Temptation (Not one of my favs by them. It's cute and happy... therefore I usually skip it.)
18. Cemeteries of London - Coldplay
19. Precious Things (live from To Venus and Back) - Tori Amos (Tori is taking over this playlist. Luckily this is one of the best live renditions of this song maybe ever, though I also like the one from Sessions at West 54th.)
20. Neighborhood #4 (Kettles) - The Arcade Fire
21. Black Sand - Jenny Lewis
22. Bone Chaos in the Castle - Kaki King
23. Babydoll - The Fratellis (One of their more Beatles-esque moments. Which is a good thing.)
24. The Promise - Within Temptation (Why no more eight-minute epics on recent albums, WT? Although the incredibly fake horn samples at the beginning are somewhat cringe-inducing.)
25. Game Shows Touch Our Lives - The Mountain Goats (Thanks to Sam for pointing these guys out to me. Great lyrics.)
26. Ways & Means - Snow Patrol
27. Sunday's Waltz/Solo Double Oh - Solas
28. Amelia - Bell X1
29. Another Year - Amanda Palmer
30. On the Radio - Regina Spektor (One of the most cheerful songs about death I've ever heard.)
