do you ever associate songs with people? we all do it, or at least with certain periods of our lives.

dragonette's i get around (midnight juggernauts remix) - i think of carl showing me that work for the first time, and of linda and my little clubbing stint.
rilo kiley's initial friend ep - definitely reminds me of fall 2007, and my first visit to santa barbara.
minus the bear's "knights" - reminds me of going to veggie grill with aj from over two years ago.
my morning jacket's z -kalani and i cd shopping together at tower records when we used to be friends.
oasis' "don't go away" and rjd2's "making days longer" - reminds me of josh.
the get up kids' something to write home about - ryan a and the time following when we dated.
the ronettes' "be my baby" and she&him's "sweet darlin" - the first time z and i really hung out, before i went to see the shins.
weezer's pinkerton - arthur. i will be honest, arthur was the one that really got me into weezer.
longwave - in general, they remind me of winter time. probably because i saw them last december on the 12, and i was listening to them a lot around that time. so they remind me of cold weather. and it's pretty cold right now.
the verve's "bittersweet symphony" - christina and i were listening to this on our way to the beach in the summer of '07, where she tried to teach me how to swim for the first time.
the juliana theory's "the closest thing" - even though i heard this song for the first time in the 8th grade, ryan played it for me on guitar after we got home from our trip to sb together.
damien rice's "the blower's daughter" - reminds me of my sophomore year, right about the time i was getting my permit. i went to go see a movie with sean on a really cloudy day at the mann 8, and it was.. sideways. we walked on capo beach after and i remember thinking of the music video. haha.
death cab for cutie's plans - working at ben and jerry's. marco played this all the time.


and you know, i completely love when certain songs come on in the right moments in certain movies. it makes it significant when i put it on a mix. say i put remy zero's "fair" on a mix cd. it'll probably be because i'm thinking of that really sentimental moment between sam and andrew in front of the fireplace in garden state. or more recently, if i put the pixies' "here comes your man", because i'd probably been thinking about when tom from 500 days of summer was drunk karaoke-ing to summer and the rest of their coworkers. i love when movies find good placement for songs. especially if they are songs that aren't used frequently.
