Happy Journalversary to Me!

[hummingwolf]

Jeffty My LJ is Five! Journal officially created while it was still January 13, 2002 PST, though my very first post was on the 14th at 1:17 in the morning my time. By my fourth post (at 5:45 in the afternoon of the same day), I was already trying to post quiz results with wonky HTML. (For the record, the quiz told me I was her.)

Five years of posting quiz results here instead of cluttering up mailing lists with this silliness.

Take this quiz!

Orpheus 33% Extroversion, 66% Intuition, 55% Emotiveness, 71% Perceptiveness

You are an artist, an aesthete, a sensitive, and someone who has never really let go of that childlike innocence. To you, all of life has a sense of wonder in it, and the story of Orpheus was written about someone just like you. When the Argo passed the island of the Sirens, Orpheus played a song more beautiful than the Sirens to prevent the crew from becoming enticed. When his wife died, he ventured into the underworld to charm Hades but, in his naivete, he looked back becoming trapped there. You can capture your unique world view and relate it to others with the skill of a master storyteller. Your sensitivity and creativity make you a treasure to the human race, but your thin-skinned nature and innocence can cause you a lot of disenchantment and pain. What's doubly unfortunate is that, if you try to lose those traits, you never will, and everyone will be able to tell that you're putting up an artificial shell to prevent yourself from being hurt. Famous people like you: Hemingway, Shakespeare, Mr. Rogers, Melville, Nick Tosches Stay clear of: Icarus, Hermes, Atlas

Five years of posting Launchcast playlists--which I actually haven't done in quite a long time, so here's something for the deeply curious:

First, I listened to the US version of my station:

1. Ella Fitzgerald, "You Hit the Spot"
2. Pinetop Perkins, "Chicken Shack"
3. Matthew Sweet, "Let Me Be the One"
4. Jah Wobble, "Visions of You"
5. Toto, "Never Enough"
6. Underworld, "St Pancras" New Underworld sounds amazingly like old Alan Parsons Project
7. George Winston, "Joy"
8. The Police, "Nothing Achieving"
9. Jimmy Cliff, "Come Into My Life"
10. Keith Jarrett, "Eyes of the Heart (Part One)"
11. Sigur Ros, "Agaetis Byrjun"
12. The Creatures, "Say"
13. a-ha, "I Won't Forget Her"
14. Liane Foly, "La Valse Des Anges"
15. Jo-el Sonnier, "Tear Stained Letter"
16. Philadephia Orchestra, "Noches en los jardines de Espana: II. Danza lejana"
17. King's X, "Not Just for the Dead"
18. Biosphere, "Sphere of No Form"
19. Depeche Mode, "Useless"
20. Bill Charlap Trio, "America"
21. Daniel Andrea, "Como Un Animal"

Then, because record labels have come to different agreements with Yahoo in different countries, I decided to check out the version from Yahoo! Spain:

1. Värttinä, "Riena (Anathema)" Värttinä! Woohoo!
2. Depeche Mode, "John the Revelator"
3. Coldplay, "Moses" Wait! There's Coldplay on my station? Did Launch do that just to continue the biblical theme or what?
4. George Winston, "Wishful, Sinful" It's because I didn't go to church this morning, isn't it?
5. Liane Foly, "Doucement"
6. Harold Budd, "Lost in the Humming Air"
7. Underworld, "Spikee"
8. Bob Belden, "Straight to my Heart"
9. Jackson Browne, "Lawyers in Love"
10. The Divine Comedy, "Charmed Life"
11. The Corrs, "Love To Love You"
12. Queensrÿche, "Circles"
13. Alice in Chains, "Angry Chair"
14. Dave Gahan, "Dirty Sticky Floors"
15. Afro Celt Sound System, "Whirl-Y-Reel 2--Folk Police Mix"
16. Mr. Mister, "Is It Love"
17. Neneh Cherry, "Sassy"
18. Frank Sinatra, "The Christmas Waltz"
19. The Alan Parsons Project, "I'd Rather Be a Man"
20. Hevia, "La Línea Trazada"
21. Ozomatli, "Believe"
22. Mansun, "Dark Mavis"
23. Pet Shop Boys, "You Know Where You Went Wrong"
24. Ella Fitzgerald, "My Mother's Eyes/Try a Little Tenderness/I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good/Eve"
25. Cibo Matto, "Sci-Fi Wasabi"
26. Sheila Chandra, "ABoneCroneDrone 2"

Ella Fitzgerald, Värttinä, Jimmy Cliff, the Creatures, Jo-el Sonnier, Mansun, Pinetop Perkins, Underworld, Jackson Browne, Alice in Chains, Keith Jarrett, Depeche Mode, Neneh Cherry, Hevia, Toto, Liane Foly, Ozomatli, Harold Budd, Mansun, Cibo Matto, Sheila Chandra--and I still feel like my station needs more variety. Must be the relative scarcity of non-Indo-European languages.
