Desert Island Mix

If I were stranded on a deserted island and could only bring one mix CD with ten songs, the CD would definitely include... (in random order)

1) Bankrupt On Selling - Modest Mouse/ The Lonesome Crowded West/ 1997/ Alternative Rock
Modest Mouse is my favourite band, so if I could only make a mix with one band I wouldn't even hesitate, it would be the mouse. I really like this song because every time I listen to it it relaxes me and calms me down, this is probably my favourite song of all time.

2) River Flows in You - Yiruma/ First Love/ 2001/ Piano
A little known fact about me is that I love classical piano music, and a really good piano song is River Flows in You. Yiruma is a Korean pianist and some people chose this song and said that it is "Bella's Lullaby" from Twilight, but I heard it before that crazy stuff.

3) Imagine - John Lennon/ Imagine/ 1971/ Ballad/ SOCIAL ISSUE SONG
Classic social issue song, I love it. It's great, not very original but the best social issue song that came to mind.

4) Kiss With A Fist - Florence And The Machine/ Lungs/ 2008/ Indie Rock
I love this song! It makes me smile and want to dance every time it comes on! I heard this song first when I watched a terrible movie called Jennifer's Body, the horror movie with Meghan Fox, and while I was confused by the idiocy of the movie this song came on and I instantly loved it.

5) There is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths/ The Queen is Dead/ 1992/ Alternative Rock (Note: Mr.Catalano I actually had to think so hard and sing it out loud to remember the name. I just never remember it!)
I love, love, love this song, I never remember the title, I don't know why. But I always fin myself singing this when I walk home from the bus stop.

6) Born Free - M.I.A/ /\/\/\Y/\/ 2010/ Synthpunk/ SAMPLED "GHOST RIDER"
Don't really like this song that much, I like M.I.A but this song is pretty lame, theres always that one song you regret putting on your mix, that's this one. But it does have a sample! Also the name of the album (/\/\/\Y/\) is stupid.

7) New Soul - Yael Naime/ Yael Naime/ 2008/ Indie Folk
I've attended two YRPC leadership conferences, which is pretty much a four day leadership conference for a select 200 students from all of York Region. This song reminds me of my experiences there, I love it :)

8) Float On - Modest Mouse/ Good News for People Who Love Bad News/ 2003/ Indie Rock
Obviously I put my favourite band twice, this song is the complete opposite of Bankrupt on Selling. I listen to this song when I need some cheering up and it always does the trick, it's just such a happy beat. Also the music video is pretty cool.

9) Everytime - Britney Spears/ In the Zone/ 2002/ Pop
When I was a little girl, just like any other, I LOVED Britney. And I remember watching this music video and thinking that this was the saddest thing that existed in the world. Over the years I've learned that Britney getting hit in the head with a camera, getting in a fight with her boyfriend and dying in the bathtub, but not really dying isn't exactly the biggest issue. However, still love crazy Britney and this is my favourite song of hers, I love belting out these lyrics with passion.

10) Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran/ Rio/ 1982/ New Wave
Do I need an explanation? It's Duran Duran and makes me laugh, its also catchy, I can see myself venturing through the island jungle with this song playing.

BONUS TRACK
I'm totally kidding.
