"Penny on the Train Track" - Ben Kweller

Ben Kweller is my guy. He rocks the hizzy. He started writing songs before I hit puberty. I'm pretty sure I have a man crush on him. This song is a good representation of what he has to offer your ears. This is from his self titled album 'Ben Kweller' released in 2006.

"I'm just a penny on the train track
Waitin' for my judgement day
Come on baby girl let me see those legs
Before I get flattened away"

"Hey you" - Mike Park

Mike Park is a musical genius. Skankin' Pickle: guilty, The Chinkees: guilty, The Bruce Lee Band: guilty. And his solo stuff just gets better. This is the first song I heard of his that hooked me. This is from 'For the Love of Music' released in 2003.

"Is this your life?
To prey on someones weakness
I'm looking out
I'm searching for that boy I knew"

"Nothin' From Nothin'" - Billy Preston

I love to dance. This is a good thing for me, but not for most people that have to watch this horrid act. So please make a note: If you play this song and I am within earshot, I will dance poorly. How do you make a tissue dance? Put a little boogie in it. How do you make yourself dance? Play this song. This is from 'The Kids and Me' released in 1974.

"Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me"

"Ha Ha" - Mates of State

I think this song is ridiculous. It has everything I could ask for in a song. Piano, organs, harmonies, tempo changes...My favorite part is when the vocals sound like some crazy bird. I don't normally like crowing out loud in my boomerangicle, but this song just brings it out in me. This is from 'Team Boo" released in 2004

"And I imagine I will see you there
You will have long flowers in your hair
I imagine I will see you there"

"It's My Job to Keep Punk Rock Elite" - NOFX

As many albums as my favorite band puts out, I keep going back to this one. If you can name one drummer who can play faster than this guy, I'll give you a dollar. This is the first song on the album and brings me back to the day where I would pop this into my CD player and hit play. I'm dedicating this to myself, because I am awesome.

"Indiscriminate I'd rather be elite
I'll choose my own shit scene
Unsubstantiated rumors flown are true
I'm here for me not you"
