Coming to SFL 2007? Tell me your two best songs.

[erik]

Boring anecdote ahead, scroll down for the point in bold:

When I was in college, I would drag my girlfriend along with me to see pop-punk bands from California. And she would mostly just fall asleep, in the loud club, which made the bouncers think she was on drugs or something, so they keep bugging me to wake her up. And I've have to explain that she wasn't on drugs, she was just really, really bored. And I soon realized, that while *I* loved these bands and could hear a whole setlist of b-sides and random crap, my girlfriend really didn't care for these bands.

But.

I found that if the band played a cover, she would perk right up. Because she at least knew the song, and could interact with it. I started making her mix tapes of bands we were going to see, but even that was too much. She didn't want to have to do homework to go see a band. She just wanted like two songs in a set that she knew, recognized and liked. So I started picking out like two songs for her that I was fairly sure that the band would be playing. And it worked like shitcakes: she wouldn't fall asleep because she would be waiting for the band to play the two songs that she knew and liked.

Now.

I don't want to be like my college girlfriend, falling asleep at SFL 2007 because I don't know your music. But I don't want to do homework either. If you are coming, would you please be so kind as to post what you think are your best two songs (not every song that you plan on playing). That way I can know something by you and dance and sing and lalala and whatever whatever.

I'm the same way as your college girlfriend. I went to a Rodrigo Y Garbriella concert a few weeks ago, and the main reason I enjoyed it was because they played the few songs that I knew at the beginning, the middle, and the end. It sort of kept me tagging along and enjoying the rest of the concert between the songs that I knew.

That said. If I make it to SFL'07 then you should listen to The Cutie Pies(which is me, Ken, and Future Boy)' 'Tanker Truck' and my 'Method of Delivery'. They're pretty awesome. Like me.

[Billy's Little Trip]

Hey Bjam, I really like your voice in "I like to pretend". I like the Cutie Pies music, but the songs would sound killer with a real drummer. You guys should keep the group going, I like it.

<a href="http://www.glenncase.com/music/glenncas ... ">"Glutton" </a> and <a href="http://www.glenncase.com/music/glenncas ... "Georgia's Hand"</a> are both Glenn Case entries, and if I was only able to play 2 songs at Songfight Live, those would be the two I would pick.

ROCK!

"glenn only wants to play two songs"

ok.

Maybe I should emphasize the "IF" in if I was only able to play 2 songs at Songfight Live.

ROCK!

Were your college years spent in the late 90's in Kansas City, MO? Because I remember always seeing some dude at the clubs with a passed out girlfriend. Only it wasn't pop-punk bands it was things like Man or Astroman. The girl was hot, though.

As for the subject, does it have to be SF songs?

[ken]

I should be there.


Shreds and Season Finale?

Ken

If it's not a SF song, then please provide a link where I can hear it.

[erik]

I will cheer for Ken and nobody else.

[frankie big face]

Heh. Some newer SF songs of mine are Glutton and Stairway to the Moon.

Some good songs on my website that I may play in Atlanta are The Thing Most Easily Forgotten and Let Me In (both from the Nur Ein competition).
