Here are all of the Songs of the Week that were presented on my homepage in the past. I listen to quite a few different generes, but tend to stick to one for a week or two at a time; it may be intersting to see how my taste changes throughout the months/years.

"Fire Water Burn" by Bloodhound Gang ~ I started watching Daria recently and this song played towards the end of one of the first episodes. It was very faint but I could still recognize it, and it's been stuck in my head since. I was actually listening to this while at work a couple of months ago. A great song that is fitting for today's world, or at least mine.
"Kernkraft 400" by Zombie Nation ~ The quintessential sports game song! If you've ever been to a live sporting event, you have likely heard this song player or the crowd chanting it. Guranteed to get you going! Funfact I recently learned recently, it was sampled from a song in David Whittaker's 1984 Commodore 64 game Lazy Jones.
"No Rain" by Blind Melon ~ Yet another classic that I remember from when I was a little kid. This song is always a joy to listen to. It was actually my Mom that recommended the song for this week, so kudos to her. The girl in the music video always reminds me of Little Miss Sunshine for some reason.
"You Get What You Give" by New Radicals ~ Just a great vibe of a song! Listening to this one always gets me up dancing and singing. I likely had first heard this one when I was really little. Not sure how many, but feel like this song was in a lot of shows/movies. Don't forget, "You've got the music in you"!
"Derezzed" by Daft Punk ~ A song from the TRON: Legacy Soundtrack. I love Daft Punk and loved this movie as well. It's been a while since I've watched the original but want to give both movies a rewatch before the new movie (TRON: Ares) comes out. I think Kingdom Hearts II was what introduced me to TRON.
"Cumbias Chichadélicas : Peruvian Psychedelic Chicha" by Various Artists (Label: Pharaway Sounds) ~ Got more than one song aga
"Accidentally In Love" by Counting Crows ~ A song you will likely remember if you've ever seen Shrek 2! Counting Crows is an American rock band that started in the early 1990s in San Francisco. I enjoy a lot of their songs, and this is a gerat song for a geat movie; if you have never watched the music video I recommend checking it out, it's pretty strange/unexpected for someone who associates the song with Shrek.
"Studio Ghibli Bossa Nova" by Cafe Music BGMC ~ Not a single song this week, but a collection. This is a great cover of Studio Ghibli (some of my favourite movies) songs in a Bossa Nova style. I have been listening to this since late highschool, it is gerat to work and study along to. I also recommend to check out their other covers!
"Hook" by Blues Traveler ~ A Song that I remember hearing as a child, likely on the radio or perhaps through some show or movie. Blues Traveler is a group from New Jersey that started in 1987 with a blues and folk sound. I'm quite fond of this song - Great vocals and wonderful harmonica break. While writing this, I learnt that it uses a variation of the Pachelbel's Canon chord progression.
Here is a Live version from Howard Stern's 1996 Birthday Show!
"좋지 아니한가 Isn't That Good?" by Crying Nut ~ I can't recall exactly how I came across this one, I beleive I may have found it or the artist listed on another Neocities site. A South Korean punk group from the 90s, although this song is from 2007. Hearing how the music changes as they sing the Lyrics really gives a wistful feeling from the artist.
"Super Flower Blood Moon" by Songs I Wrote ~ I came across this artist on Social Media and really vibed with this song and its lyrics. I enjoyed it so much that I went ahead and bought one of their CDs from their store.
