- My 5 Favorite Songs to Set to Imaginary Cinematic Montages of My Life When I'm Bored/Traveling in a Bus
- Godspeed You Black Emperor! - "Gathering Storm" (one word: EPIC...which is 100% necessary for a good montage song)
- The Kinks - "Dead End Street" (This usually also comes with the urge to start a fight, or pretend that I have in the past)
- Liars - "The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack" (I'm not sure entirely why this song stands out to me so much, but I imagine it would be a perfect break-up/sudden death soundtrack song...god I'm a weirdo)
- The Velvet Underground - "Oh! Sweet Nuthin" (I also imagine that everything is in slow motion...and possibly that Wes Anderson is directing)
- The Who - "Baba O'Reilly" (I blame the American Beauty commercials back in the day, but this little ditty is truly the perfect build-up of adrenaline and such...I can't help but feel like the montage would end with me base jumping out of Heaven, while making out with Joanna Newsom & that girl from A Knight's Tale at the same time)

- My 5 Biggest Modern Music Crushes
- 5. Lily Allen - She seems like an emotional wreck, an insecure mess, and an unwise girl to piss off...but why should I judge celebrities any harsher than every other gal I date?
- 4. Casey Mercer's wife (Melanie Campbell) - She's the drummer in his band Frog Eyes, and she is much better looking than he is (I am certain he has his own charms and all). I saw them one time, and repeatedly told my gf at the time that I was really attracted to the drummer. She was a good sport about it, but t'wasnt my finest moment.
- 3. Rihanna - I think Jay-Z should at the very least dump Beyonce and get a younger beard...I'm just sayin'...that whole thing screams "relationship of convenience, and the occasional hand-hold". Anyways, Rihanna is cute.
- 2. The Blonde Gal from The Dears - I just google imaged "hot indie musician" and I eventually found her picture. She's mad cute. I think I've heard the dears...I really half-assed this one...I know.
- 1. Joanna Newsom - A drunk guy at Bonnaroo once declared that her music was like an old song your grandmother used to sing to you, and it's so familiar that you feel like you already know the words, when you don't. This guy was on the money. Plus, she's my kinda pretty...and she seems pretentious and wordy, which is fine with me. Oh! Not to mention the fact that she has to be either a little insane/autistic/genius, or she may truly be a mythical creature. I hear she's tired of hearing jokes like that. I'm sorry, Joanna.
