2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

lozette done gave me the letter 'T' and told me not to go all for songs that began with 'The', so...
01- Flight of the Conchords- 'Too Many Dicks'
Hmmmm, while I liked their two seasons I didn't love them (except for the New Zealand Prime Minister) and I think their songs generally work better outside of the framing device of the half hour show ('Bowie's in Space' is very funny, as long as you are listening to it on their album and not watching the episode the song is in). How many episodes were about Brett and Jermaine getting off with women and then something going wrong?
02- Kraftwerk- 'Trans Europe Express'
I'm sure there's a guy at the front of the crowd who manages to clap his hands above his head for the full ten minutes, bravos to you sir, you win new arms! The Eurostar Express mix of this involves the tune suddenly slowing down by a third halfway through and then someone comes on and sets fire to Ralf Hütter. Grisly but gripping.
03- New Order- 'True Faith'
It's the Bauhaus Teletubbies! I don't care much for ver Order, but this is the one song of theirs on my iPod.
04- Madness- 'Tomorrow's Just Another Day'
Admittedly not one of their stormers, Madness songs beginning with 't' are a bit thin on the ground, even if you relax the 'the' injunction that still only gives you 'The Sun and the Rain', 'The Return of the Los Palmas Seven', although I suppose you do also get 'The Prince', though the video for that is shit. I mainly remember them, as I suspect most people my age do, for their videos appearing on Saturday morning telly, where normally at least one band member was dragged up, often without bothering to shave first. Obviously this is something that warped my fragile little mind.
05- Pet Shop Boys- 'This Must Be The Place I've Waited Years to Leave'
Oh come on, what were the chances I was going to go through a music meme and not bring up PSB inc.? Ever subtle, this fits in neatly with 'It's a Sin' (as indeed it did on tour), being concerned as it is with the flowering of a schoolboy's sexuality and his being told by everyone it's wrong. Ahhh, Catholic guilt. Today it would be a song about a Priest looking at you funny rapped over a cover of the Grange Hill theme.
