Introducing my top 100

I want to say something meaningful. I want to introduce myself and the songs with such perfect words that you'd think they were lyrics from songs that didnt make the cut. I guess I cant explain why I loved Ben's idea for doing our own list of the top 100 songs of the last ten years. 

Maybe its because ten years ago when I was fifteen I became aware that a good mix tape could do wonders for my love life.

Maybe its because when I close my eyes and I think of being a teenagers, it's this list of songs that plays as a soundtrack in the background.

Maybe its just because finding two people anywhere in the world with the ability to be ridiculous and serious in the same breath is such a beautiful thing that it makes it hard for me to say no to any idea they might have, especially one that reveals so much about each other as this most definitely will. 

whatever. It doesnt matter. I just want to tell you that without music, these last ten years would have been meaningless static and stucco walls while I waited for the school bell to ring.

but with my windows rolled down or my headphones pushed in, I was always exactly where I needed to be.

from 100 all the way to 1

from 1999 to today.

and so... here we go.
