Least Favorite Songs

Guns N' Roses-Knocking On Heaven's Door http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjCBmP7iATk

Probably the worst cover I've ever heard. Axl's voice makes me want to stab my ear drums. 

Trace Adkins - Hot Mama http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjdpSQD2bns&ob=av3e

When this song came out I worked at a grocery store and it played all of the time and it really disturbed me that people actually enjoyed hearing about parents banging.

Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAp9BKosZXs

Engineered to be more contagious than the flu and harder to get rid of than herpes. 

Fergie - Fergalicious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T0utQ-XWGY&ob=av3e

When this song comes on its always a million dB's louder than the song before it in my headphones and makes me  feel like I got hit my a truck.

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGQ6VwUcxok

 Painfully sappy but still comes off emotionless.

T Pain - Im In Love With A Stripper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow0JanWpG8M

I'm really just jealous that T Pain made more money from this crappy song than I'll ever need in my entire life. 

Eminem - The Real Slim Shady http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJO5HU_7_1w&ob=av3e

Obnoxious on purpose, but I still can't stand listening to it.

John Mayer - Your Body Is A Wonderland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5EnGwXV_Pg

Proof that John Mayer only makes music to pick up women, making any subsequent argument about his musical talent void.

Nickelback - Photograph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB0DU4DoPP4

 Confessional and reflectional in the worst way possible, devoid of any convincing feeling or artistry. 

Soulja Boy Tell'em - Crank That (Soulja Boy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UFIYGkROII

 At one point I knew the entire dance.

 

 

 

 

 

Favorite Songs

Nothing In This World - The Kinks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOSzGYKaJGE

Simple, catchy and sincere.  I can relate a lot to the content.

Tonight - Lykke Li http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivcDu7THD-Q

Emotionally charged song, plus I really like her voice.

Motelroom.Grandpiano - Fear Before the March of Flames http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff79XHt9rGw

 This was one of my favorite songs in early high school. I think I'll always enjoy it at least as a relic of my adolescence.

Hit the Switch - Bright Eyes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXJxi1Odfjk

Been a favorite of mine for a long time.  Confessional, kind of depressing and really easy on the ears.

Your Ex-lover is Dead - Stars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55FMOJMhV9s

Beautiful song that tells a relate able narrative.   

She Spider - Mew http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rnTRQ53pHs

 Really musically and emotionally powerful from start to finish. I used to listen to the first 1:45 over and over.

Pints of Guinness Make You Strong - Against Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OvzoWttPDI

The inspiration for countless sing-a-longs with friends. 

Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven - Saves the Day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGGECuFhr_o

 Another relic of my adolescence. A bit of a guilty pleasure.

Good Song - Blur http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRrJugyk1Yw&ob=av2e

Ultimate chill out song. 

Ships With Holes Will Sink - We Were Promised Jetpacks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOC9L-qDPqE

Super catchy, but I don't mind that it always gets stuck in my head.

 

 

Public Intervention Art

 Trash Face:
For this public piece I was inspired by Lee Walton's "Making Changes" project.  Like Walton I moved an object from one place to another in an attempt to draw attention to possibly unnoticed things. 

Street Toaster:
This is my attempt at an Erwin Wurm "One Minute Sculpture".  I found some objects on the street and tried to arrange them in an interesting way.
