Rock n' roll! It's time to turn this blog back up to 11 and add to the set list that my imaginary band would play, if I had any musical ability at all.
For a quick review, here are the first five songs my band would play: Heartbreaker, Dreaming, Alive, This Must be the Place, and It's Too Late.
For the next five songs, my band (with me as the sexy, lead singing, guitar goddess momma) shall play:
"William, It Was Really Nothing (by The Smiths): I know, I know, Mozz is annoying, even to this vegetarian. But the guitar work (Mr. Johnny Marr) is brilliant and I quite like the lyrics. They aren't too ponderous or over the top. It might be the most perfect song ever by The Smiths.
"Is That Love" (by Squeeze) -Of course, I would have to do a song from my favorite band. Great lines like "My assets froze and yours have dropped" and "Legs up with a book and a drink/Now is that love makin' you think" are just too amazing to not want to sing. Plus, there is a smashing guitar solo for me to play.
"I'm Not Down" (by The Clash) - It might seem like a weird segue way, but that's okay. As an emotionally overwrought teenager, this was my favorite song off of London Calling, if not my favorite song period. I figure that should count for something and I get to sing this one.
"32 Flavors" (by Ani DiFranco) - I really prefer Alana Davis' cover, but no matter. I love this song and would do it an acoustic cover of it.
"Wonderwall" (by Oasis) - I cannot get enough of this song, period. I might even keep the acoustic guitar out to play this song that way. This truly is a piece of genius. Considering what a mess they are, I can't, for the life of me, fathom how the Gallagher brothers wrote a song this good. It doesn't matter, it's on my set list.
