I Celebrate His Entire Collection

37. "Office Space" Soundtrack

I discovered the Geto Boys thanks to this movie/soundtrack. I was on a road trip the other day and was nearly falling asleep at the wheel, and decided I needed some rap to wake me up. Luckily I had this soundtrack. No way can you sleep through Ice Cube and Geto Boys. I always laugh out loud thinking of this scene when I hear "Still." (Also, a funny parody from Family Guy at the end - how did I miss that episode? Why do Stewie and Brian hate that 45?)





38. Viva Voce - "Rose City"/"The Future Will Destroy You"

Have we already talked about Viva Voce? How I went to see them in 2010 at the Wonder Ballroom when I was visiting a friend in Portland, and how Anita freakin' rocked my face off on lead guitar? I mean, really. I worship at the feet of any chick who has mastered lead guitar. It remains a mystery to me. Anyway, they rock. I kept this disc, which is one I burned so I could have both of their last two albums together, in my CD player for a while.


P.S. Did I mention, my friend and I ended up in the FRONT ROW for David Sedaris? Check that off my nerdy bucket list!! He was SO cute and funny. I want to keep him in my pocket all the time, to make me chuckle when I'm having a bad day. Can't wait for his next book. This is how sweet he is - he promoted someone else's book during his talk! I can't remember the name of it right now, but I'm going to get it just because he said to!
