Favorite Songs: 153-151

Well, at least one person is reading this, so it continues...

153. "Maybe You're Right" by Barenaked Ladies (Barenaked Ladies Are Me)
This is another of those "serious" BNL songs. It's got a nice slow build up, and by the time it gets to the last section of the song it pretty much goes from an apology to an attack. Lovely little tune.
Line: "There was a time when a crime was a crime. Now I think I'm losing my mind."


152. "Look Mum, No Hands!" by Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (1992 - The Love Album)
Total opposite end of the spectrum on this tune. This is without question a very angry and attacking song, about suicide bonbings in Northern Ireland, on both sides of the seperatist movement.
Line: "One less for St. Nicholas, there's nothing as vile, or as sad and ridiculous as the coffin of a child."

151. "Headhunter" by Front 242 (Front By Front)
Probably the secong most aggressive song on this list. It is pretty much about what the title implies: a headhunter or bounty hunter tracking and killing his target. The true Godfathers of techno at their absolute best.
Line: "I'm looking for this man to sell him to the other man to sell him to the other man at ten times the price at least."


And yeah... until I find something better to occupy my time with, I'll probably be updating this every other day or so. Originally I figured it would be once a week, but seeing as how Im bored senseless, it will definitely be much more frequent than that.
