Soundtrack of 2008

31 Dec 2008

It's time for the 3rd annual Soundtrack of My Life!

Sadly there will be no photo collage this year, because I didn't take many photos!

As always, they're in the order I added them to iTunes.

1. Nada Surf - The Film Did Not Go 'Round

I think I found this on PodShow BT PodShow Mevio when I was bored and looking for new music.

2. Jonathan Coulton - Code Monkey

Funny song. Not one to listen to over and over, but certainly worthy of a mention.

3. Gin Blossoms - Learning The Hard Way

4. Aimee Allen - Ron Paul Revolution

I love this song - it is my favourite of this year. When I first heard it on the Daily Source Code I listened to it about 5 times back-to-back. The video's good too.

5. Karmacoda - Turn

Heard this on Chillcast (Video #1).

6. Beth Hirsch - All Together

Also heard on Chillcast (Video #2).

7. Kylie Minogue - In My Arms

8. Black Crowes - Goodbye Daughters Of The Revolution

9. Alice Smith - Woodstock

10. Utah Saints - Something Good '08

11. Basshunter - Now You're Gone

12. Sara Bareilles - Love Song

13. Nicki Bliss - I Kissed A Girl

I heard this before the Katy Perry version and I prefer it.

14. Eddy Grant - Gimme Hope Jo'anna

An old song, but I hadn't heard it before.

Heard this one on Pacific Coast Hellway.

20. Ekolu - What She Really Needs

Another from PCH.

21. Jimi Jamison - I'm Always Here

22. Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor

I heard this on a radio station in Cyprus on the last day of our holiday in September, and now it always reminds me of that!

23. Iglu & Hartly - In This City

24. Sam Beeton - What You Look For

25. Counting Crows - Colorblind

26. Aranda - Still In The Dark

This was the first Aranda song I heard (PCH), and I bought the album.

30. Tilly & The Wall - Beat Control

31. Belleruche - Anything You Want (Not That)

32. Katy Perry - Hot 'n' Cold

33. The Killers - Human

34. Leon Jackson - Creative

I don't watch X Factor, and I couldn't have even told you he was on it. (I might have liked him less if I'd known!) I first heard this on this years Children In Need.

35. Jimmy Cliff - Wild World

Heard on Daily Source Code.

36. Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It

Also heard on Daily Source Code.

37. Bobby Darin - Simple Song of Freedom

Also heard on Daily Source Code.

38. Guru Josh Project - Infinity 2008

40. Ingrid Michaelson - Be OK

Can't think where I heard this, but it's a good one.

41. Natives Of The New Dawn - Good Day

42. Exile - Kiss You All Over

Old, but good. I heard my dad playing it and I had to go over and find out what it was.

43. Leona Naess - New York Baby

Well that's it for this year. Happy New Year!
