5 Songs: B
Originally this thing was going to be ten songs but I could only find seven for A so I shortened it.
The Cribs - Back To The Bolthole
I just like this one because it's a really good song to make up your own words to and just kind of stamp angrily and flail your arms. Some would call that modern dance.
Panic! At The Disco - The Ballad Of Mona Lisa
So . . . so . . . scenekid . . . but I love them anyway. Panic! At The Disco's most recent album (not that recent really) Vices And Virtues didn't really set a foot wrong.
Leathermouth - Bodysnatchers 4 Ever
Obligatory Leathermouth because if you're not listening to them yet then you need to, and if you have and don't like them then GTFO. I don't like your kind here.
Bulls In The Bronx
In honour of their brand new video, and the fact that this is an awesome song with, actually, a very deep meaning that I won't go into here.
Butterfly With Bullet Wings
This song started my short-lived Smashing Pumpkins phase when I was 13, which kept up until I realised how annoying I find Billy Corgan's voice and the fact that 75% of my liking of them was really just drooling over the album artwork for Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness.

5 Songs: A
I've decided, as a quick thing to fill time until I have enough spare time to write proper things for the blog again, I'm going to do this. Five songs for each letter of the alphabet. Today, obviously, is A.
Sleeping With Sirens - A Trophy Father's Trophy Son
It's, as is usual for SWS, one of those songs that you really want to sing along to, but can only do it justice if you can keep up with all the different parts of the chorus and Kellin's impressive vocal range.
The Killers - All These Things That I've Done
As with the rest of Hot Fuss, it's a beautiful song.
Fall Out Boy - America's Suitehearts
It's so over-the-top, but still manages to be quite clever about celebrity culture and somehow involves Patrick wearing a yellow top hat.
Deaf Havana - Anemophobia
I thought anemophobia would be something to do with blood (because in my head everything is to do with blood) because it sounds like anaemia, but I looked it up and apparently it's actually a phobia of wind. Technically, the song is actually a bit about wind.
My Chemical Romance - Ambulance
Off Conventional Weapons. It took me a while to let this one grow on me, because it sounds so different to their other stuff, and is terrifying when it randomly appears on shuffle, but I really like it now.

Why You Should Love Without A Face
My friend Hannah does this thing where she finds bands that are big in certain areas (not those areas), or new, or haven't even written any music yet, and she fangirls over them. A lot. I like quite a lot of bands, but I don't know how she remembers all these different people.
Anyway, she likes to show these bands to all her friends, which sometimes works and . . . more often, I think, doesn't, because some of these bands are just a bit too weird. We all had her singing Evelyn Evelyn's 'You Only Want Me 'Cause You Want My Sister' throughout pretty much all of summer 2011, and I did end up sat in Piccadilly one day, wearing a sparkly Halloween mask and singing it with her (well, she was singing the song and I was singing my version; It's Not My Fault I'm The Sexy Sister).
One such band that Hannah showed me was one called Without A Face. It's a band with only one member, Henry Dillard, a Texan guy with the fluffiest hair you will ever see (when he grows it long). I'm not sure which song she showed me first - I think it was Lactose Intolerance - but pretty soon I was hooked. Now, he's actually one of my favourite artists.
The thing about Without A Face is that he's a really talented songwriter (didn't see that one coming, did you?) and, when he's making one of his daft songs - see The TSA Song, which is also probably my favourite of all his songs - he has this very witty sense of humour that he manages to incorporate into it. Plus, he can do an awesome rap.
Henry's been around for a while now, and has quite a lot of stuff out there on his various albums: Worst Debut Album Ever; The 1st Album Was Better; 5 Songs; Oh, Great, An Election; and his newest album, The American Scheme. The earlier albums have more of his daft stuff than anything serious, whereas Oh, Great, An Election (that has to be the best name for an EP ever) and The American Scheme are pretty dark - for him - and meaningful and full of the feeling of disillusionment with this whole idea of the American Dream (that's what it is to me, at least, and I'm too shy to ask him).
What's also great is that he's involved with his fans.He responds to you on twitter, and occasionally does so on his youtube as well. Best of all are his online concerts, usually held on the last Wednesday of every month (although he's on a break until March) at about 8pm EST. Unfortunately that means that, if you're British like me, you have to stay up all night, but they're really worth it. He sounds just as good live as recorded, takes requests and will answer questions right then and there, even if it's one of my stupid questions like 'which shampoo do you use?'. It's also the nearest I've ever been to any celebrity's kitchen, even though several of his music videos were recorded in there too (such as Druggie Love, which is an awesome song).
So there you go. He's got a cracking voice, lovely hair and some amazing songs.
WE WANT A UK TOUR.
Here's five of my favourite songs that I haven't already mentioned in the post:
Miserably Privileged
Pigs
Booty
Earthlings
Republicratic Gang
