I found my old iPod!

I found my iPod nano the other day, and it brought me utmost joy!
The thing is, I had pretty decent music taste back in the good ol' day when I was experiencing teenage angst and the turbulent emotions that accompany that phase. I must say, it is the best gift I think I have ever received.
Here are some of my favourite artists that I rediscovered in no particular order

1. Panic! at the Disco

Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off

I remember having Panic! being my jam for a good chunk of my high school years, it was all I would play. They're actually going on tour next year and guess who's going to be there, front and center? (me). PS. Brendon Urie is hot

2.The Academy Is

Skeptics and True Believers

Another band by Fueled by Ramen. I'm pretty sure that they're not very well known, but I can't say for sure. I was 100% an indie gal. It tears me apart, because on one hand I'm pretty sure that they deserve(d) more, and on the other I like to bask in the glory of the feeling that I get to have them all to myself

3. MCR

I Don't Love You

Oh my goodness, I remember singing this song as I cried in a dark room. The thing is, even though they were depressing times I don't associate MCR with that kind of dread. Well, I do, just not to the point where I have come to detest them, but I do still love to soak in their lyrics when I'm melancholy.

4. Relient K

Be My Escape

Just, feel good music.

5. Imogen Heap

Just for Now (live)

Super artistic, super eccentric. I'm not so into Imogen Heap/Frou Frou as I was before, but I can appreciate that she helped me be myself in my developmental years.

6. Jason Mraz

Curbside Prophet

I still listen to him and his recent music, but there is something so special about his old music. I used to fangirl over him since Geek in the Pink.

8. Death Cab for Cutie

Song for Kelly Huckabee

Okay, so I still listen to their music, but Song for Kelly Huckabee was forgotten until I scrolled down my entire music list. Serious gem. 

Along with artists there were some random songs that I really enjoyed:

1. The Shins - Phantom Limb

2. Rosette - Crushed

3. Jumper - Third eye blind


Anywho, I'm pretty sure that music is something that helped everyone in their lives at one point or another. I have actually stopped updating my list so much now, but I definitely agree with Frank Ocean: it's the emotions that help you understand the lyrics. That's ultimately what connects us to the artists, not the fact that they wear clothes from Target or that they also enjoy a good cup of frozen yogurt...(well I guess a little).
