Wind Up Audio Mix

I have to do this project in my peer advisory class where i have to make my own mix of favorite music...I was actually surprised when i was assigned this...I thought I would have to sit in a circle and talk about my feelings like an Oprah show...well anyway, this is my playlist:

1.Prelude 12/21-AFI
2.Intro-Gorillaz
3.Butterflies and Hurricanes-Muse
4.Bring To Life- Evanescence
5.Helena-My Chemical Romance
6.There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered, Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it yet-Panic At the Disco
7.Feel Good Inc.-Gorillaz
8.Best of You-Foo Fighters
9.Love Like Winter-AFI
10.Lacrymosa-Evanescence
11.Apocalypse Please- Muse
12.Wake ME Up When September Ends-Green Day
13.The Ghost Of You-My Chemical Romance
14.Summer Shudder-AFI
15.My Immortal-Evanescence

Even if this assignment was one of the best ones assigned in a while..there's still a catch-I have to write a sentence or so for each song describing its significance to me...ain't that just...peachy?

I have the video!

I couldn't post the actual video on here because it's on a different site WHICH IS NOT YOUTUBE (GRR!). But they did ask my question (near the beginning), which was awesome. So i have the link. Remember: I'm Julie (im blowing my own cover..psh...watever) and I asked "What would you name a song inspired by the sight of children leaping through a garden sprinkler?" (and they said I couldn't get off from work! How old do they think I am?! But watever, they laughed at my question..which was my goal i guess..) please tell me what they said...or at least give me a guess cause i haven't a clear idea of what they answered.I heard "we and peeing" So here's the link:
The Shins on the Woody Show At Live 105 (answering my somewhat disturbed question)

NO EFFIN WAY!

Okay, it started out like this: there was this contest at my local radio station, Live 105. You can submit questions to the morning show to ask a band called the Shins. If they like your question, they'll invite you to go meet the band and ask them your question. I sent an email to the morning show at about 6:17 on the morning of the last day to submit questions. That afternoon when I came home from school I checked my messages. There was one from Greg Gory from the morning show. I read the email and it said (quote) "We'd like you to join us tommorrow!" and i was like OH, CRAP-OH-LA! I asked my mom (more like groveled) if i could go. Unfortunately it was on a school day...during school. My mom said no, which was expected. I already invited my friend and when I told her I couldn't go, she was just as upset as I was. I was forced to email the station to tell them i couldn't go, but I did ask them to read my question anyway so i could hear the reply. They compassionately agreed. On the day of the almost Shins encounter, me and my friend were drowning ourselves in sorrow...I, personally, felt like a a herd of cows chased out of a nice,green pasture by wild horses, locked out, and was forced to eat weeds. Yesterday, my friend called one of the radio djs that were on in the afternoon and told him of our horrible luck. He played the Shins song, "Phantom Limb" and mentioned our incident on the radio. Of course, I thought this was a bit ironic...in a sense...Anyway, as soon as the station posts the video of the interview on the site, I will post it up on this blog...I look forward to seeing the Shins's reaction to my question. By the way, my question was "What would you call a song that was inspired by the sight of children leaping througha garden sprinkler?" (yeah i coined it from my profile question, but it was originally a ballet that was being named. Since the Shins are musicians, I figured they would rather name a song.)
