Now that I think about it, maybe it was her letting us know she was still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 1.What music were you obsessed with in High School? Nirvana and their ilk. Mostly Nirvana, really. 2.What's the last album you bought on somebody's recommendation? I'm really not good at buying albums on people's recommendations - they have to be given to me! 3.Who comes after Wilco on you iPod? Willy Mason, Wim Mertens, Windermere, Wir Sind Helden, Wiseguys and A Witness - who are these people... 4.Do you have a go-to karaoke song? I don't karaoke! 5.Give me a playlist on your iPod. Sure - it's called 'We <3 MBV' and it's a dozen songs that I find most derivative of My Bloody Valentine's music. I put it together for a writing project and it's the most fun research I ever did. 6.Is there a song that you consider torture to listen to? Yes, I remember whimpering in pain (out loud, I might add) when an Enrique Iglesias song came on here. I thought Australia would have better taste. 7.What was the last song that made you cry? Something by the Verve or Highspire - they're the ones who get me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) 1.What music were you obsessed with in High School? Linkin Park were my favourite band through most of high school, but I didn't really pay much attention to music back then. That all changed when I bought Led Zeppelin Remasters in my final year. 2.What's the last album you bought on somebody's recommendation? I don't remember ever buying an album on a direct recommendation, but Dappled indirectly made up my mind to buy Shine On Brightly by Procol Harum. And I love it! 3.Who comes after Wilco on you iPod? I don't have much on my iPod at the moment, since I just transferred my iTunes to a new computer without transferring all the music yet. I don't have Wilco on my iPod, but I do have three White Stripes albums in mp3 format (none of which I paid for). EDIT: Wow, it took me this long to realise The White Stripes (and The Who, for that matter) are before Wilco in alphabetical order, even when you remove the "The". I are so stipud. My first artist after Wilco would be Wolfmother. 4.Do you have a go-to karaoke song? Most people would say it is Duncan by Slim Dusty. No, really. Though I would love to find someone to sing Bow River with as a duet. I could sing either Barnesy or Mossy's part. 5.Give me a playlist on your iPod. My most used playlist is simply called "Long Songs". The longest track on it is Providence by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (29:02), and the longest two-track song is Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield (48:57). 6.Is there a song that you consider torture to listen to? My Humps 7.What was the last song that made you cry? Music can make me feel very emotional, but it has never made me cry. The song that makes me feel most emotional is probably Supper's Ready by Genesis. Edited July 27, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 1.What music were you obsessed with in High School? Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac, the Sweet, Meatloaf 2.What's the last album you bought on somebody's recommendation? I don't buy entire albums anymore, just songs from itunes. The last ones of those I bought were We Are Scientists. 3.Who comes after Wilco on you iPod? Who is Wilco? 4.Do you have a go-to karaoke song? Don't do karaoke myself, but my nephew is hysterical at it! 5.Give me a playlist on your iPod. no iPod yet... I wanted my son's old one that I got him for his birthday when he traded up with another better one I got him for his next birthday. But he'd already sold the first one to a friend of his. 6.Is there a song that you consider torture to listen to? The two that come to mind are, "Lovin' You" ~ by Minnie Sharpton(?), and "Don't You Want Me" ~ by Human League. But I'll throw in any and all Pink Floyd songs. 7.What was the last song that made you cry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 1.What music were you obsessed with in High School? I went from being obsessed with the Beatles to being obsessed with the 60s' Stones to broadening my taste a little... all kinds of 60s music. And Oasis. 2.What's the last album you bought on somebody's recommendation? The Queen Is Dead -- The Smiths (I love that album, and 'The Smiths' even more. But they're too catchy. Bigmouth Strikes Again in particular has a tendency to hijack my brain for extended periods of time) 3.Who comes after Wilco on you iPod? Um... I can't check right now. Let me think... No, I dunno. The Who would probably come before Wilco if Wilco were on my mp3-player. 4.Do you have a go-to karaoke song? I'm the resident spoilsport when it comes to karaoke 5.Give me a playlist on your iPod. One of my favourite playlists on my WMP is called 'Songs', because I'm creative like that. Another one is called 'Stuff' (I've also got about three dozen folders called Stuff on my laptop) 6.Is there a song that you consider torture to listen to? A few, and most of them are by Hot Chocolate. Take your pick. 7.What was the last song that made you cry? It's not the songs themselves, it's whatever I associate with them. And it's been a while so I don't really remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
