Another list of stuff, this time artists that I have seen live over the years. I'm probably forgetting a few but most of them are represented here.

Edit 9/10/2011: Went to the Jack FM show featuring Def Leppard, Heart, Dramarama, Everclear, Marcy Playground and Sir Mix-A-Lot, totally fun show and Def Leppard and Heart totally kicked ass!

So, I got engaged about a month ago. On the 4th of June 2011.

I just had my engagement party this past weekend, on the 9th of July 2011.

I spent some time choosing the songs, to try and choose not only songs that would get the party started, or songs that I love, but also songs that I know my fiancee loves. Sometimes I would choose my favourite song from one of her favourite artists (e.g. Spoon - The Underdog), and sometimes her favourite song by one of my favourite artists (e.g. Regurgitator - Superstraight).

Anyway, here is the list, in reverse played order from that night:

Ben Kweller – Wasted and Ready
Gomez – Girlshapedlovedrug
The Bens – Just Pretend
The White Stripes – You're Pretty Good Looking (For a Girl)
Regurgitator – ! (The Song Formerly Known As)
Los Campesinos! – My Year In Lists
The Grates – Sukkafish
Jens Lekman – You Are the Light
The Get Up Kids – Mass Pike
Brand New – Soco Amaretto Lime
The Black Keys – Tighten Up
Prince – 1999
The Black Keys – Have Love Will Travel
