As of Sometime Between 1 & 2 am
I have a wordcount of 18,218. I am officially more than 1/3 of the way written. (Unofficially is an entirely different story of course. One that's much, much longer.)
I also put together a killer playlist on Napster (well, on my laptop, thanks to Napster) called Angsty Boys.
'sawesome. I could listen to it over and over and over again.
Angsty Boys
Good Charlotte -- Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous
The Killers -- Mr. Brightside
The Verve Pipe -- The Freshmen
John Mayer -- Your Body Is a Wonderland
Semisonic -- Closing Time
Toadies -- Possum Kingdom
Lou Reed -- Perfect Day (2003 Remaster)
Nirvana -- As You Are
Nine Inch Nails -- Closer (with all the nasty lyrics)
Everclear -- I Will Buy You a New Life
Pearl Jam -- Better Man
Counting Crows -- Round Here
Peter Gabriel -- Solsbury Hill
R.E.M. -- Nightswimming
Counting Crows -- Hanginaround
Gin Blossoms -- Hey Jealousy
Everclear -- Heroin Girl
Van Morrison -- Brown-Eyed Girl
Lou Reed -- Walk on the Wild Side
R.E.M. -- It's the End of the World
Goo Goo Dolls -- Iris (Album version)
Iggy Pop -- Lust for Life
R.E.M. -- Losing My Religion (Album Version)
Toad the Wet Sprocket -- Walk on the Ocean
K's Choice -- Not An Addict (Yeah, I know it's not a male vocalist. It's plenty angsty, though. Call it a bonus track.)
I know bits of it don't seem like they'd work, but they do, though. Trust me. Better yet, try it for yourself. Fabulous achy music in one way or another. Call it the soundtrack to my twenties. Some of the songs weren't written yet, but they apply perfectly.
