Shutterbugg by Big Boi from the album Sir Luscious Left Foot. Such an amazing album, anyone who loves hip hop should definitely listen to this, as well as people looking to get into hip hop.
We're just about two-third through this one... would anyone like to see more challenges like these? A film one, or a TV one or anything else? Feel free to respond either here or by VM-ing me your thoughts/feedback. Anyhoo, on with the show:
Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you're angry
'Chiquitita' by ABBA: When I'm angry, I need to listen to calming music or I'll just end up being in a mood all day. This is the ultimate calming song, so feels right at home answering this question.
It'a a lovely song with great, soothing lyrics and a lovely sound to the song. It's a real feel good song and it would cheer anyone up if you were down in my opinion.
Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio
For some reason, and I don't know why, but Madness with NW5. I never heard it on the radio, and as it is now a song that is a fan favourite, as well as thanks to some audio players that allow you to listen to a song with radio like quality, it just fits a radio's graininess.
Day 19 - A song from your favourite album
Ooh, a toughy. I don't really have a favourite album as such, but if I had to pick an album, it would be Reel Big Fish's A Best of Us For the Rest of Us! A re-recording of their old favourites they played whilst on their last record company (which they fell out with), it just feels... Fresh yet also nostalgic.
One such song on the album:
Day 20 - A song you listen to when you are angry
Interesting, I seem to listen to Would You Be Impressed by Streetlight Manifesto, due to it's sense of disaster, but also because the change from "It's Not My Fault" to the last line of "It's All My Fault" makes me feel relieved of a burden. Dunno why that is.
I'm sure some people like calming down when they're angry, but I prefer to listen to something fast and in my face. Misfits - Last Caress is the perfect way to do that.
Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio Are there enough Judas Priest songs left for all the positive questions in this? Sure there are. My pick here would be Jawbreaker. While the lyrics carry some implications some might dislike, the sound would still be somewhat acceptable for radio stations. Anyway, I think I can't really say anything of importance, so...
Day 19 - A song from your favourite album In my opinion nothing beats Judas Priest's Painkiller, that album is just perfect. Let's take the title track here.
Day 20 - A song you listen to when you are angry
I'm currently lacking the words to explain why, but I think Death in Fire by Amon Amarth is a great way to both cure or fuel anger.
Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you're happy
'You! Me! Dancing!' by Los Campesinos!: Yes, that's a lot of exclamation marks, but the song pretty much justifies all the happiness and dance-worthiness the name suggests. It builds and builds until it erupts in a musical orgasm: a joyous song to listen to, and one that I listen to when I'm in the best of moods.
Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you're happy
I don't really listen to certain types of music depending on my feeling, but I guess this would be a song that I like to listen to when I'm in a good mood:
Guess I forgot to check in yesterday. Almost forgot to today, too :P
Only remembered when I came back to start a monotype challenge.
I apologize in advance for the long post. At least I don't post 234234 videos in mine, like some people. I only link to them ;D
Everything about this album is amazing. It opens with Pigs on the Wing part 1, a quiet acoustic piece. Then it goes into a 17 minute epic: Dogs. Dogs starts out with an acoustic intro with vocals and a synth keyboard backing. 4 guitar solos are thrown in throughout, and there is a LONG synth section in the middle, containing only synth and sound effects (whistling, dogs barking, etc.) Next is the 11 minute long Pigs (Three Different Ones). Pigs has powerful vocals, a funky bass line, an awesome keyboard part, and an incredible talk-box guitar solo. After Pigs is a 10 minute song: Sheep. It has a great bassline, awesome keyboard, haunting vocals, and the best outro you've ever heard. The album wraps up with part 2 of the acoustic Pigs on the Wing.

Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you're angry
The Beatles are always an uplifting band, and this is one of my favorites of theirs. Just a generally cheery song. It's even talking about something happy. Who wouldn't be happy listening to this? :P
Hmm.. Blood Brothers by Iron Maiden (The studio version is great and all, but I personally prefer the version on the Flight 666 CD which I belive was the Rock In Rio concert)
Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you're angry
"Nobody Listened" by Delta Goodrem
I listen to this song anyway, but I really get in the mood for this song when I'm angry or lonely. I find that when I'm experiencing negative emotions, I prefer to find music that matches the mood rather than music that alleviates the said emotions.
Revolver is arguably one of the Beatles' best works. This is but one track off the album. Tomorrow Never Knows is full of psychedelic experimentation, including backwards tape loops. John Lennon even went as far as putting his vocals through a revolving Leslie speaker cabinet, used mainly for organs.
Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you're happy
Don't know why, but I seem to listen to International Jet Set by The Specials when I'm in a really good mood. Have no idea why, the song is quirky and weird...
Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you're happy Thinking of it, I haven't been truly happy for quite a while. At least not when listening to music. Distracting myself from the negative things of life is my main use for it, so this is yet another quite hard one for me. In fact, after about 5 minutes thinking without result I think I will have to pass on this one. The way I use music just excludes the possibility of me finding an answer since it means that when I am happy I have no need for music.
Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you're happy.
Gary Moore - Blood of Eneralds.
A little more info..
There is no particular song that I listen to when I'm happy. I'm happy most of the time anyway. I just kind of picked out a song at random and this songs does bring a smile to my face when I'm listening to it.
