30-day music challenge

A friend of mine got me onto the idea of a 30-day music challenge. It's just a bit of fun but the task is to pick one piece of music a day dependant on the criteria for that day. Here they are:

day 01 - your favourite song
day 02 - your least favourite song
day 03 - a song that makes you happy
day 04 - a song that makes you sad
day 05 - a song that reminds you of someone
day 06 - a song that reminds you of somewhere
day 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event
day 08 - a song that you know all the words to
day 09 - a song that you can dance to
day 10 - a song that makes you fall asleep
day 11 - a song from your favourite band
day 12 - a song from a band you hate
day 13 - a song that is a guilty pleasure
day 14 - a song that no one would expect you to love
day 15 - a song that describes you
day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate
day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio
day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
day 19 - a song from your favourite album
day 20 - a song that you listen to when you’re angry
day 21 - a song that you listen to when you’re happy
day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad
day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding
day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral
day 25 - a song that makes you laugh
day 26 - a song that you can play on an instrument
day 27 - a song that you wish you could play
day 28 - a song that makes you feel guilty
day 29 - a song from your childhood
day 30 - your favourite song at this time last year

I've been stalling on this as I'm struggling to get past day one and name my favourite song. It changes not just daily but depending on the time of day, the mood I'm in and what I'm up to. I'm going to just have to bite the bullet and go with what feels right at that moment of choosing - and no doubt I will regret the decision instantly as I think of another great song I could have picked. I'll try to keep the challenge songs separate from my other posts and keep them short. It does mean though that I may post several times a day for 30 days. I hope that's okay with you chaps who are reading this blog. I'm going to give each one a bit of thought too, rather than go for the first thing that comes into my head.

If you feel inspired to join me in this challenge please do send me a link so I can follow your choices too. I think it could be a lot of fun.

I can't go without posting a link to some music so let's go for something completely random. Two tunes from last year that absolutely rock. Love the videos to these too.

Passion Pit - Got Your Number

PVT - Window (this video is brilliant)
