Faith No More to Future Kings of Spain

Faith No More: Bjork's fish flopping around in the music video... everytime.

Fatboy Slim: Shortly after I purchased "You've Come a Long Way Baby" at KMart [yep, edited version], I was listening to it in the car during a monsoon. The connection has stuck as I find myself wishing it were raining whenever that album comes on.

Feist: I adore her.

Filter: The next time you play basketball and someone other than you knocks down a jumper, break out into a hardcore rendition of "Hey Man, Nice Shot" and get up in the person's grill. If possible, videotape the whole thing.

Finger Eleven: For some reason, I like their newest single.

The Flaming Lips: "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robot" is one of my favorite songs. They really escorted me through the work day. I always think of their ambitious project of creating four albums that are meant to be played simultaneously. I don't have these albums, but I really need to try that out.

Flashdance: This was one of the few records I remember from my youth. It makes me happy.

A Flock of Seagulls: I karaoked their classic jam in front of Adele's entire family, and I'm pretty sure that's what won them over. There were hand gestures and interpretive dance. It was better than it sounds.

Flogging Molly: It's pretty weird to write legal documents while listening to this band. It happened to be my birthday, but it felt a lot more like St. Patrick's day. I also think quite a bit of "The Departed" these days.

Foo Fighters: I generally have a tough time getting through entire albums from these guys even though I like them. What does that mean?

Footloose Soundtrack: When I taught high school, I signed on to be a co-director / acting coach for the musical. This was hilarious since I never directed anything significant before and had extremely limited acting experience. I just acted [get it] like I knew what was up and it worked out. I now know every line of the musical version of the movie.

Foreigner

The Foundations

Four Seasons

The Frames: Adele's bro-in-law used to run with these guys back in Ireland. We saw them recently in their current form [from the movie "Once"].

Frank Sinatra: My pops loves the chairman so I know pretty much his entire catalog. As soon as I could speak, I was singing Frank. I used to sport my grandpa's suede hat and cane and belt out "Same Old Saturday Night."

Franz Ferdinand: Before most peeps heard of this band, I got a tip from an agent I knew that they were well on their way to becoming a pretty big deal. I was booking bands for Notre Dame at the time. My operation did not quite have the budget to pull them off at the time [despite being a ridiculous deal], so I encouraged another group to make it happen. They didn't. You decide if that was a good idea.

The Fray

Frou Frou

Fuel

The Fugees

Future Kings of Spain: DELETE

I swear it's coincidence that I often have little to say about the bands at the end of postings.
