If you are like me, you probably heard this song on the Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist movie and then ran out and bought their music. Pretty good flick too.

The Seed
The Roots is the greatest late night band ever. Love this song. For some reason it always reminds me of Flight of the Concords though. Weird.

Snow Patrol
Headlights on Dark Roads
Snow Patrol is an Alternative rock band from Northern, Ireland.
"For once I want to be the car crash, not always just the traffic jam.
Hit me hard enough to wake me and lead me wild to your dark roads."
I think everyone gets complacent and needs a jolt to wake them up. Great lyric!

coffin break
Diane
This is actually a Husker Du cover ( I did not know that until today). It is my understanding that Diane Richards was a victim of Serial Killer Joe Ture. Apparently Diane was a high school friend of Husker Du drummer Grant Hall. The song is from the killers point of view. It is a very catchy little song, and then you hear the story of the song and then it goes very dark.
Coffin Break is a Seattle punkband.

311
I'll be here awhile
311 is a band from Omaha, NE. The band got its name from the police code 311, the code for indecent exposure, when a band mate was arrested for streaking. They have a mellow, reggae vibe about them. Great summer band.

The Replacements
Bastards of Young
Man, this is such a cult classic! Such a great youth anthem song.
The replacements were a punk band from Minneapolis, MN. I'm a big Paul Westerberg fan. I love his solo stuff too, but I can't seem to find many videos, so I decided to go with a classic.

Coldplay
Coldplay is a rock band from England. This song is very special to me. This song just came out right about the time I was about ready to give birth to my first son, Zach. Once he was born, I would dance around the living room with him in my arms, listening to this song and the rest of the debut album. Everytime I hear this song, I instantly remember dancing around my living room with my newborn son. This song will always be precious to me. You are a lucky lady Gwyneth.
Yellow
Happy Birthday Zach. I love you so much. I dedicate our song to you.

Buffalo Tom
Buffalo Tom was an Alternative rock band out of Boston, MA, formed in 1986. This band deeply affected me in the 90's. They have such great lyrics. I think this band was way under-rated. They were amazing. I remember them on My So Called Life. I was so excited they were on. I know that ages me. Jared Leto played Jordan Catalano. Who didn't love the bad boy. I so wished I was Claire Danes.
