Congrats!

Head Automatica - Graduation Day is a
very nice Power Pop tune!

It's either 90210 or Buffy, because they used the same school. But if it's 1999, then it's gotta be Buffy. The 90210'ers graduated in 1993.

Anyway, Third Eye Blind's "Graduate" wasn't bad.

it's from Buffy. Congrats on the graduation. I graduated two years ago but i remember driving around listening to Bloc Party's Silent Alarm so anything from that. It was basically an album that helped me get through the fact that I was becoming an adult.

Congratulations, again...

There are a lot of graduation songs, unfortunately. The thing is, there only "good" when you're actually graduating.

Vitamin C - Graduation Song
Baz Luhrman - Sunscreen
Alice Cooper - School's Out
Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen (this one reminds me most of kids who are graduating).

Have fun!

Congrats on the (impending - don't fuck up) graduation. Thankfully, since a hug from you, virtually or not, was not on my wish list, others have answered your question already. Thanks for all your hard work here - hope whatever's next for you won't take you away from the blog.

That shot is from Buffy when she kills the major-turned-into-big-snake monster and Sunnydale High is destroyed (sorry, kinda big couch potatoe here)

so, where's my hug??

ohhh, graduations songs. I missed that. You gotta listen to:

Here's to the Night by Eve 6!

Oh yeah, that reminds me - "Graduation Day," by The Beach Boys. Cheezy I know - reminds me of Leave It To Beaver (not Dobie Gillis, however).

Congratulations on graduating. I graduated from high school in 2001, wow that seems like such a long time ago. College was just last year though!!! Anyway here are some songs that I think are really good in remember that end of the year time:

Leavin'- Jag Star
Goodnight- La Rocca
I Will Remember You- Sarah McLachlan and Ryan Cabrera (the one for Will and Grace)
Place for Me- Alissa Moreno
Swing Life Away- Rise Against
Blankest Year- Nada Surf (more for entertainment purposes!!)
We Used to Be Friends - The Dandy Warhols

Oh yeah the picture from Buffy 3rd Season, season finale. Right before Angel left when Faith was all crazy bad and the mayor turned giant worm on everybody and the school was destroyed. Sorry I love Buffy!!! Congrats again...

Congrats on graduating (though, I'm sure you've heard it a million times by now!). I sort of envy you... one more year for me.

So, while I've been driving around, thinking about all my friends graduating and such, I've realized I've repeatedly listened to:

*Ceremony (Joy Division)
*Someday (The Strokes)
*and a whole lotta Bloc Party.

None of these songs seem to have a graduation theme to them, but they are good, nonetheless.

Hope this helps... if not, I only wasted 2.5 seconds of my life.

Hello and congratulations to you
My song choice is not really a graduation song, but I thought that it's suitable for your age; Blooming 18 by Ace of Base

there's a hilariously bad song called 'graduation rap' on the soundtrack to 'ghost world' that's worth checking out...
