Olympics Playlist
By Nathan | August 11, 2008
There are a few things that get me to sit on my butt and stare at a television set all day long and not regret doing so. And on that short list along with March Madness and the World Cup, is the Olympics. The Olympics is the most recent addition to this list, because 2004 was the first time I really watched the Olympics. And then I only really watched it because I wanted to spend time with this really hot girl I liked (who I later decided to marry). Anyway I decided that this event was worth of a post. So here is my post in honor of the opening ceremonies for the Olympics.
So China in my opinion really raised the bar when it came to the opening ceremonies. I really enjoyed watching the theatrics of it all. They continued to just wow the crowd and the millions watching all over the world. So in honor of the events that have taken place and are going to be happening for next couple of weeks, I have created a little olympic-style playlist for you all. If you like you can leave a comment and vote for your favorite songs and then maybe I’ll hand out some medals. Anyway. Here is the playlist. Hope your ears bleed.
1. The Neighborhood - China Boy
2. Counting Crows - Holiday In Spain
3. Beirut - Postcards From Italy
5. Five Iron Frenzy - Oh, Canada
7. Jets to Brazil - Sweet Avenue
9. Spoon - My Little Japanese Cigarette Case
10. The Beach Boys - Surfin’ U.S.A.

“Oh, Canada” by Five Iron Frenzy. I’m impressed. Way to stray off the beaten path.
