June 2011 Playlist

1. Can’t Tell Me Nothing - Kanye West — “I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven, when I woke up I spent that on a necklace. I told God I’d be back in a second. Man, it’s so hard not to act reckless.” I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. Especially while I’m running. Kanye makes so much sense.

2. Risa - Babasonicos — “Me gusta verte reir. Me gusta tanto tu coqueteo.” If I translated this from Spanish to English, it would sound mega dumb. So I won’t. It’s just a fun flirty song that I wish someone would sing to me. :)

3. Come Te Extrano - Cafe Tacvba — “Hay amor divino, pronto tienes que volver. El dolor es fuerte lo soporto, porque vivo pensando en tu amor. Quiero verte, tenerte, y besarte. Entregarte todo mi corazon.” LOVELY, listening to it just makes me smile. 

4. The Greatest - Cat Power — “And then came the rush of the flood. Stars aligned, turned you into dust. Melt me down into big black armor.” The song doesn’t really make sense but I still love it. I love listening to Cat Power’s voice. It’s amazing.

5. All I Need - Radiohead — “I am a moth, who just wants to share your light. I’m just an insect, trying to get out of the night. I only stick with with you because there are no others. You are all I need. You’re all I need.” I love this song. I think it might be one of my favorite Radiohead songs. I love the video that goes along with it. The “In the Basement” sessions. OMG. I love Thom Yorke in those videos. <3

6. All These Things That I’ve Done - The Killers — “I need direction to perfection. No, no, no, no, no.” I think I had my computer on shuffle and this song came up. I love songs that remind me of my high school days, this is most definitely one of those songs.

7. Closer - Kings of Leon — I just love listening to the lead singer’s voice. So hot.

8. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths — “And if a double decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die. And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us, to die by your side, well the pleasure the privilege is all mine.” Reminds me of 500 Days of Summer. LOVES it.

9. Ways & Means - Snow Patrol — “I’ve been waiting here my whole damn life and I’ve forgotten what I want.” This song reminds me of my very first day at UCSD. It was admit day and it was playing through the loud speakers at price center. I knew I would like it there when I heard this obscure song I had been obsessing over through the speakers.

10. Summer Love - Justin Timberlake — “I can’t wait to fall in love with you. You can’t wait to fall in love with me. This can’t just be summer love, you’ll see.” JT is awesome. Enough said.
