more on the music

Songs that remind me of my dad, none of them even remotely appropriate:

Jeremy by Pearl Jam. In high school he would annoyingly sing it to me every time I got in his car and substitute my name for Jeremy.
Heaven Beside You by Alice in Chains
Super Bon Bon by Soul Coughing
Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones, because I hated "the horsey song."
For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield
Earache My Eye by Cheech and Chong. It came on the radio when I was 12 or something and ever since he's made references to "hey man, that was my new record, I just bought that."
The Rocko's Modern Life Theme
The Ren and Stimpy Theme


Song I will be dancing to with my dad:

Not sure yet, I'll have to talk to him about that.


Songs I will absolutely not be dancing with my father to:

Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin
That weird daddy's girl country song Younger Sister recommended.

on our first dance

The song the Groom and I would like for our first dance: Hayling by FC Kahuna. It is absolutely our favourite song of all time, and after listening to it approximately a thousand times it still makes me cry a good 50% of the time. Also, the video is just so cool (Dan is totally into the mechanical imagery) and the singer is probably the prettiest girl I've ever seen, so even if you don't really care about the song, the video comes highly recommended.



I have a feeling our families won't really get it, but this song always makes me think of the feeling of our first summer together. Simple, clean and looking forward to the future.

For the reception we'd like to play chill electronica like Thievery Corporation, Boards of Canada, Zero 7. Is that tacky?


Music that should not be played at any wedding reception:

• Brick by Ben Folds Five
• Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead
• I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor
• Lords of Acid
• Country music
