Songs, A-Z

Well, I didn’t read the rules of this game after I saw D’s list, so this list might seem a little odd. Rather than just list songs that start with a letter, I chose songs that I have in my .mp3 library, and where both the song title and the artist started with the respective letter of the alphabet. Uff!

The only times I couldn’t get a match for both were for X and Z, so I listed two songs, one for the song title that matched the letter, and one for the artist.

B: Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus

D: Destillat (VNV Nation Mix) by Das Ich

F: Fired Up! (Club 69 Future Mix) by Funky Green Dogs
G: Games Without Frontiers (Massive D/B Mix) by Peter Gabriel

Oingo Boingo

Y’know, I wish I had an excuse for not discovering Oingo Boingo years ago…but I don’t.

However, somewhere along the line I ended up with the Best O’ Boingo CD. I don’t know that I’d ever even listened to it before, but ever since I got my iPod whenever an Oingo Boingo track shows up in the random playlist I use, I end up thinking it’s really cool, checking to see who it is, and kicking myself for never having gotten into this group before. I really should have — I’ve liked their song ‘Dead Man’s Party’ for years, and have thought for a while now that Danny Elfman creates some of the best movie scores I’ve heard, but I still didn’t ever bother investigating them.

Ah, well. Better late than never!
