songs…

x. Remind you of an ex-lover: “Damn, I WIsh I Was Your Lover” – Sophie B Hawkins; “With or Without You” – U2; lots & lots of others. Music is a huge part of my life.
x. Reminds you of an ex-friend: lots, in small ways. “Ex” is used here in a negative way I think, and I don’t tend to let ex-friends keep their associations in my heart. I take ’em all back. =)
x. Makes you cry: “Learning to Fly” – Pink Floyd. Not so much cry, but if I was going to, that would prolly be the one.
x. Makes you laugh: “No Anchovies Please” – (I think it’s the Alan Parsons Project); anything from South Park; most lounge; lots and lots of songs make me laugh. I’m not very good with this part of the questionnaire. Music has too much influence on me.
x. You never want to hear again: Most top40. I hate the big labels for polluting the industry.
x. Sums up your teenage years: Def Leppard, Duran Duran, U2, Pet Shop Boys, Motley Crue, Poison, Tom Cochrane, Bryan Adams, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper… I made my own rules about music.
x. you used to hate, but now love: some Neil Diamond & Frank Sinatra, lots of anitques like that.
x. You like to wake up to: Mixmag’s Sa Trincha mix, or the Viva Ibiza mix from last year.
x. You like out of your parents record collection: there’s the Rat Pack again, Neil Diamond
x. You love that you wouldn’t know about it if it wasn’t for a friend: Pink Floyd, Enya, Loreena McKennit, Tori Amos… heh heh –> some top40 thanks to Neil *grin*
x. Makes you think of someone who died: Pink Floyd – “Learning to Fly” again, same reasons as above. I often wonder what Terry would be like now if he’d kept going.
x. You love the video more than the tune: Chemical Brothers – “Star Guitar” – brilliant, brilliant video, and so subtle I bet most people never know. The song is very good too, but the video is… wow.
x. Reminds you of your first crush/love: “Always Something There To Remind Me” – Naked Eye
x. Reminds you of your now crush/love: Coldplay – “Clocks”
x. Makes you think of sex: lots and lots of song. Whole genres even. Dirty house & electro, funk house, chill, ambient, acid techno, I think Garbage (Shirley Manson) is dead sexy, and I drool over Ashanti’s voice… and Aaliyah’s.
x. You love to hear in your disc man: Energy 52 – “Cafe Del Mar”, and a whole slew of other brilliant tracks by more artists than I could possibly list.

*sigh* Never get the dj started talking about music.
