Assignment 23- Eleanor Badgett

My versatile perfect playlist

When it comes to music, I don't really like or have the patience to spend a lot of time listening to and discovering new songs. As, a result my playlists are kind of a jumbled slapped together collection of songs. I would not say my playlists are perfect, but I would definitely say they are versatile. 

1. Holiday- Vampire Weekend

2. Basket Case- Green Day 

3. Summer Song- Matt Duncan 

4. Waiting for the Great Leap Forward-  Billy Brag

5. A-punk-  Vampire Weekend  

I included the two Vampire Weekend songs because they are one of my favorite bands. Almost every thing they release is pretty versatile so it was hard to choose just one. Basket case, while not the most versatile,  is included due to the versatile memories I associate with the song.  For some reason, there are so many times I have a memory and then remember that song. I included Summer Song,  because not only do I like it, but I think it is extremely versatile. Depending on the volume at which  it is played, the song can be an under the radar, talked over song or a very singable, windows down song. The last two songs on my playlist, Waiting for the Great Leap Forward and A-punk, are special songs to me because I always remember my dad playing them growing up. My dad and I like to call A-punk my first favorite song because he convinced me it was in order to instill his music taste in me, which I think was successful. I have always liked Waiting for the Great Leap Forward, but as I have grown up and learned more about what he is talking about, I have learned to love the song more and more.
