We received this list from the always-charming Nanette, proprietress of the ever-popular Amplified to Rock. Leave it to her to go all metatextual on us... -- Ed.
I'm a big fan of That Damn List Thing, so when George asked me to write a
list, I was excited. But then came the difficult part: coming up with a
topic. It's harder than you think, people. I had a bunch of good ideas, but
then realized that maybe they weren't really good ideas. Then the light bulb
turned on. I had an epiphany. There it was: my damn list.

1. Eleven Songs I Wish I Had Put on That Mix Tape Because Then That Cute Boy
Would Have Liked Me Back Instead of Ignoring My Phone Calls
2. Nine Most Embarrassing CDs Owned by Boys I Used to Date
3. Fourteen Albums to Play While Trying to Get Your Crush (Who, By the Way,
is Very Drunk) to Give You Some Action, Even Though He's So Drunk that
Nothing He Could Possibly Ever Do Would Be Sexy, but You've Been Aching to
Get in His Pants for the Past Seven Months (Subtitle: At Least the Music
Won't Be Disappointing)
4. Twelve Band Names to Drop in Front of Pretentious Music Reviewers
(Including a Paragraph of Useless Trivial Facts and Adjectives to Use When
Describing the Band)
5. Sixteen Ironic T-Shirt Slogans Spotted at an [Insert Emo Band Name] Show
6. Twenty-Two Awful Songs I Received on Mix Tapes from People Who Just Did
Not Know Better and Were Not Trying to Be Cute, Witty, or Ironic About It
7. Ten Most Idiotic Things Overheard at a Guided
by Voices Show
8. Thirteen Bands That I Secretly Like When I'm Alone in My Car with the
Windows Rolled Up
9. Fifteen MP3s I Downloaded from Napster Because I Would Never, Ever Buy
the CD Because the Record Store Employees Would Take Away Every Little Bit
of Cred I've Managed to Accumulate over the Past Ten Years
