There have been some pretty vicious rumors lately. Yep. Right here on The Neave. Mainly, one of our writers thinks he has me pegged as the angsty, cock-rock type of chick. I’ll admit that there were some songs and bands on Jason Joyce’s list that I have listened to at one point in my life and – dare I say – enjoyed. That’s all in the past, though. Except for Korn. And Limp Bizkit…sometimes. And maybe the occasional Papa Roach indulgence, even, and…oh, damn you, Jason Joyce, you see right through me!

Jason Joyce: X-Ray Vision??

Panicked by the downright salaciousness of these accusations, I had to take a good, hard look in the mirror…or rather, at the 25 Most Played Songs on my iTunes application. The results were revealing, indeed, and more than a little relieving. True, one of my own songs is on there, but please don’t hold that against me. After recording a piece of music, I HAVE to listen to it over and over again, if only to suss out any potential improvements that could be made. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

And so, it is with much vulnerability and ado about nothing that I present to you:

There are way too many songs that I didn’t include in the interest of keeping it below 50. I’m sure I’ve already incriminated myself as a total nerd…but hopefully attained a smidgeon of redemption nonetheless…maybe?
