*Ok so this May Music Challenge list came from a facebook thing called "30 Day Song Challenge" well I don't like having the one extra day left over so I searched through some other similar song challenge things and stole this last one to finish out the month.
Day 31 - A song from the last band you saw live
Jars - Chevelle
The Last Concert I was at was in Feburary of 2010 at the Egyptain Room in the Murat Theatre in Indianapolis. Janus opened, Sick Puppies played next and the headliner was Chevelle.

May Music - Day 30
Day 30 - your favorite song at this time last year
Beat the Devil's Tattoo by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Well my favorite song last year was still Hotel California which I posted as my favorite song for day 1 of this challenge. So in the interest of picking a different song for each day I'm going for this song which I also really like. I first heard it a year ago last spring so it had just become one of my favorite song this time last year.

May Music - Day 29
Day 29 - a song from your childhood
A Pirate Looks at 40 - Jimmy Buffet
My Dad is a Jimmy Buffet fan, and when I was little and riding around with him in his truck he had this ratty old carboard box sitting on the seat filled with Jimmy Buffet cassette tapes. He'd have one in the radio and we'd sing along with it as we drove along the road. I remember liking "Jolly Mon" , "Maragritaville", "Fins", "Son of a Sailor", "Last Mango in Paris", "Gypsies in the Palace" and many others. I went with "A Pirate looks at 40" since it is his favorite Jmmy Buffet song.

May Music - Day 28
Day 28 - a song that makes you feel guilty
College Kids - Relient K
So I had to think a long time for this one as I don't think there is any song that really does make me feel guilty. I settled on College Kids because sometimes i feel like I wasted my time at Purdue by being a History major... don't get me wrong I like history and love it that I now have a job that relates to the degree. But it isn't rare for someone to tell me I should have went into some other field (usually involving math/accounting). This would pay a lot more as well so a lot of times I feel that they are/were right.

May Music - Day 27
Day 27 - a song that you can play
Scales
If you are following along with the list of song and see that this day is what yesterdays was supossed to be its because I got confused and thought both of these days were the same. I did take band in 5th and 6th grade and was a percussionist but I never really liked it so I quit band in 7th grade when I got to Jr. High. So I really don't know how to play much. That said I am confident I could still break out the C major scale on the set I have.

May Music - Day 23
Day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding
Disneyland - Five for Fighting
I wanted to use my first choice on a song that will be mentioned in a few more days, but even so that one would just be a song I'd want to be played before the wedding starts. So I decided to get more serious and go with this song. I've always said I don't really care too much about the song choices for a wedding but this seems like it would be a good wedding dance song.

Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you’re angry
Empty Walls by Serj Tarkian
Hmm I went through several songs trying to decide what one I wanted to post, and I decided to go with this one by Serj Tarkian from System of a Down. To be honest I don't really change my listening habits when I'm angry.

May Music - Day 19
Day 19 - a song from your favorite album
Fell in love with a girl - White Stripes
I don't own many albums, and I wouldn't count a greatest hits collection as fitting the critera so this limited my choices. However, I do really like the White Stripes - White Blood Cells album. It is soild and was what got me into this intersting band. I picked this song off of the album because it has such a cool music video.

Day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
Spread your love like a fever - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
I like the unique sound this song has, and while I've heard it on atleast once commerical... I've never heard it get any radio play. At least not on any radio station I have listened too.

May Music - Day 17
Day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio
New Low - Middle Class Rut
I don't listen to the radio too much and a lot of time when I do its still talk radio... When I worked at Check into Cash we had the radio on all day though and this song was really popular then and I still hear it on the radio sometimes if I'm flipping through stations. I like the song and its on my zune now actually.

May Music - Day 16
Day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate
Lips of an Angel - Hinder
Took me a while to come up with one for today, but after looking through my music collection I came up with Lips of an Angel by Hinder. When this song came out I really liked it, along with Hinders other hit Get Stoned it seemed like they were off to a good start. But this song got played all the time... and they pretty much wore themseleves out... I haven't heard from them in a long time and I don't really like any of their songs anymore.

Day 12 - a song from a band you hate
Eyesore by Janus
I saw these guys live in Feb 2010 when they opened for the Sick Puppies and Chevelle... they didn't win very many fans that night. Though they got a lot of play from the local radio station that was promoting the show.
