Too Many Numbers

So I'm taking this online Statistics course at LACC...  While numbers and math class have never been my favorite thing, I was inspired to find some numerical songs to keep me motivated in my studies. I think it worked, because I'm proud to say I got a 94 on my first test (#notsohumblebrag)!

Playlist
Too Many Numbers

Highlights
Track 2/ Eight of Nine by the Ataris
The Ataris remind me of middle school, where we would sit in the hallway of the old gym on hot P.E. days and play B.S. We used to yelp "Popcorn!" when we had lied about the cards we put down. This was my favorite song on their album, and I always thought it was so emotional- at least I know that I was definitely emotional, hormones raging and all.

Track 4/ 5/6 by Jason Mraz
Jason Mraz is one of my favorite male vocalists of all time. I went to see him perform at the Walt Disney Concert Hall when I was in high school, and could probably still sing along impeccably to every word of his early album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come. He's got this hippy dippy happy-go-lucky vibe lately, but I'm just glad he's gone back to acoustic roots. This song is off of one of his more recent albums, and has a little bit of that psychedelic influence. A nice one to take a break with from all those fractions.

Track 13/ Square One by Tom Petty
Square One was written for the soundtrack of Elizabethtown, which is probably one of my favorite movie soundtracks. It is a good representation of the movie: the sentimental feelings associated with an oddball love story, the theme of starting new, and the folksy drifting vibe of the main character played by Orlando Bloom (I'll admit, I even think he's cute in this movie).




Thanks for listening (numerically)!
