take it away tokyo

so my fanbase in japan asked a while ago when i was going to post the legendary "best of 2005" list. well, i haven't completed all of the lists yet (yes, i am working on it, really...) but i do have these two "best" lists to post.

Guilty Pleasures of 2005
i'm totally not afraid to post information about my guilty pleasures of 2005.

1. Nine Inch Nails, the hand that feeds.
finally trent reznor makes another song i can dance to, 16 years after head like a hole. (yes, i checked the math on that, it was really 16 years ago kids....)
2. Head Automatica, beating heart baby.
sure this song is from 2004, but i didn't hear it until 2005. another dance hit.
3. My Chemical Romance, helena.
such a dramatic song, boys with makeup. how could i not fall for this song exactly? also, technically from 2005 and i did hear it in 2004, but... i'm gonna let it slide.
4. morningwood, jetsetter.
urgh, the name is just terrible, but the song is (mostly) goodness. some of the lyrics are a bit iffy to me, but in general i dug this song. i did buy the album cheap cheap cheap as a promo copy at amoeba.


biggest dissapointment of 2005
1. foo fighters, in your honor.
i have been mad for dave grohl since forever, but i don't even listen to this album, or double album, whatever. the main thing was that it was impossible for me to burn it to be my mp3 player (thanks, media protection encryption garbage!!) and it never even had the chance to grow on me. plus, you know i was immediately turned off by the whole best of you song. it just stunk of growing soft and lame. hopefully dave can get back in my good graces, he already blew it by getting married and having babies (i can't have a rock star boyfriend who is married, i'm sorry, i have morals here people....), but maybe musically he can come back into my life... we'll see.
