Cody Jams (July 25, 2005)

Ten random songs from my itunes.

1979 (Smashing Pumpkins) – The way he intertwines the drumbeat with the melody guitar, which speaks to the other guitar, is pure genius. Not necessarily the pumpkins greatest song, but definitely their prettiest.

Act a Fool (Master P) – Can’t listen to this song and not want to kick someone’s ass or at very least dunk on them. Master P is truly one of my idols - an entrepreneur, rap star, and wanna-be hoopster.

Always (Blink 182) – Cheese-dick alt-pop B.S., sure. But those are some damn catchy tunes.

Back to Life (Soul to Soul) – Their first album was full of all-time classic songs. This is one of them (they never did anything else that was really noteworthy).

Cruz (Leon parker) – Downloaded this song on accident when trying to purchase the same title by Cristina Aguilera (which is my favorite Aguilera song). Glad for the mistake because this is a great jazz tune.

Starry Eyed Surprise (Paul Oakenfold) - Sure it’s a poppy rip-off of Moby. But hey, it’s catchy, and I love it.

Cure Me (Statistics) – Don’t know how I found this song, but downloaded it at some point and it’s a keeper. Nice mellow jam.

99.9 F (Susan Vega) - It was tough to get over Luca – even as a 15 year old I found that song irritatingly poppy. But Susan Vega became a true rocker and 99.9 F is one of her greatest songs.

All that She Wants (Banghra Version) (Ace of Base) – I make no apologies for loving this Swedish band and the drumbeat in this remix is a big part of why.

Amie (Counting Crows) – Great band doing a great song.
