The time has come to pick the bests of the year, I will usually do this around every month but since the year is ending it seemed fitting...First let me explain that these are not necesarily songs, people, movies, etc. from this year, there are however those things that I liked the most this year or that I have indentified with the most, so I will now introduce my partner in these crimes...Patrick Crawford from South Carolina (Clemson University)
the first list of these are mine the second post is Patrick's picks...
Song of the Year: "Alive With the Glory of Love" - Say Anything
this was the hardest pick for me because all of these songs at some point where the top song but this song by Say Anything reminds us of our invincibility that we once had and that some of us still have, the days of football fridays and now of football saturdays, the days of going to the mall in a group of 15 people and not buying anything, eating 5 burgers before soccer practice and 5 more afterwards and still being the most in shape people in school, waking up @ 7 am for 7 pm football games on saturdays and backyard parties...
Considerations: "A Bad Dream" - Keane; "Holly Wood Died" - Yellowcard*; "Driving Song" - Widespread Panic; "From Yesterday" - 30 Second to Mars; "Famous Last Words "- My Chemical Romance; "American Girl" - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; "This Side" - Nickle Creek; "Star Mile" - Joshua Radin; "Falling Slowly" - The Swell Season
* I couldn't find a music video or a non-live version of this song, so this animated piece will have to do
Band/Artist of the Year: Widespread Panic
Considerations: Yellowcard, Jimmy Eat World, My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds to Mars, Joshua Radin
Movie of the Year: (tie) Across The Universe; Sweeny Todd
= yes both are musicals but I promise you've never seen musicals like these they are more like movies with a lot of music in them, Across the Universe gives a powerful insight into the minds of the Beatles and the inspiration to start a revolution...Sweeny Todd is going to win every major award @ all of the award shows this year including soundtrack of the year and actor of the year (Johnny Depp)
Quote of the Year: "knowing is not enough, we must apply; willing is not enough we must do" - Bruce Lee
Road Trip of the Year: Grand Canyon/Vegas/Cali Desert
Tiger of the Year: Woods
State of the Year: South Carolina
