My One and Only Love
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! This post is just one of those silly little meme-type things going around. You've certainly seen it before:
I am tagging no-one, but would enjoy seeing the responses of the rest of you 'cos synchronicity can be so entertaining. Anyway, for this one I used my soon-to-disappear customized LAUNCHcast station (stupid *#$&!~* record labels and their short-sighted money-grubbing ways hafta go and ruin things for everybody). One reason I haven't listened to Launchcast so much in recent times is that--on my computer and connection, at least--it has a frustrating tendency to display information for one song, act as if it is about to play that song, and then change its mind to go on to play an entirely different song instead. When this happens, both the unplayed song and the song that does play will be listed after the relevant question.
1. IF SOMEONE SAYS 'ARE YOU OKAY' YOU SAY....?
Nine Inch Nails, "The Perfect Drug" ...is not covered under your insurance plan.
2. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
Jai Uttal, "Jaya Jagadambe (She Who Tears Apart Thought)"
Erm.
Um.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
3. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
Death Cab for Cutie, "Cath..."
4. HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
Doris Day, "Silver Bells"
Ooh! Does this mean I get presents?
5. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
Loreena McKennitt "Samain Night" did not play
Studio West Side Story Cast, "Prologue" did
So who or what is the main attraction?
6. WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
XTC, "Greenman"
There are many questions that could be answered by the Greenman. This question is not one of them.
7. WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
Depeche Mode, "I Feel Loved" did not play
Ella Fitzgerald, "Don't Fence Me In"
Um, guys? Is there something you'd like to tell me?
8. WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
Dave Gahan, "Black and Blue Again" did not play
Queensryche, "The Right Side of My Mind"
Not entirely sure what to make of that.
9. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
Sting, "Fragile" did not play
The Carpenters, "If I Had You"
But who is "you"?
10. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR FIRST KISS?
Angelique Kidjo, "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" did not play
Kathy Mattea, "Right Outta Nowhere"
::snicker::
11. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
Marni Nixon, "I Feel Pretty" did not play
Franz Ferdinand, "Ulysses"
Have we reached the Trojan War yet?
12. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
Nicole Blackman, "What I Want for Christmas" did not play
The Divine Comedy, "Becoming More Like Alfie"
But maybe becoming more like Alfie is what I want for Christmas. If someone were to introduce me to Alfie, that might be a clue.
At this point I turned off the computer for a while. The rest of the songs are from another listening session on another day.
13. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Queensryche, "Another Rainy Night" (live)
14. WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
Sting, "Prelude to the End of the Game"
Dance to a track that's a whole eighteen seconds long? Given my lack of coordination, that might be for the best.
15. WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Emerson, Lake & Palmer, "Close to Home"
16. WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
Michael W. Smith, "Come See"
I have been playing with computer graphics lately. One day you may get to see it.
17. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
Solas, "Johnny's Gone for a Soldier"
::sniffle::
18. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
Alice in Chains, "Sludge Factory"
19. WHAT DO YOU WANT RIGHT NOW?
Peatbog Faeries, "Mellowosity"
Let us pause a moment to savor the greatness of the band name "Peatbog Faeries."
20. WHAT IS 2+2?
Yo-Yo Ma, "Appalachia Waltz"
This piece was not one I had rated, but one that the Launchcast algorithm thought would be suitable based on my other ratings. Definitely math involved somehow.
21. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
Banco de Gaia, "Mafich Arabi" did not play
Natalie MacMaster, "Gramma"
Well, only some of you have told me that I need to eat more and be sure to remember my mittens.
22. WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?
Nine Inch Nails, "Demon Seed"
That sounds pretty bad, all right.
23. HOW WILL YOU DIE?
George Winston, "Prelude" did not play
Roland Orzabal, "Bullets for Brains"
Yeah, that'd do it.
24. WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET?
Eastmountainsouth, "You Dance"
But it was only for eighteen seconds.
25. WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
Veruca Salt, "All Hail Me" did not play
Underworld, "Will and Amira"
26. WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
The Creatures, "Pinned Down - Icarus Remix"
27. WILL YOU EVER GET MARRIED?
Tears for Fears, "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" did not play
Sam Bush, "King of the World"
So I'm marrying royalty, then? Sounds like a pain.
28. WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
Angelique Kidjo, "Mister Love" did not play
Hem, "The Fire Thief"
Must have fire. Winter is not done yet.
29. DOES ANYONE LIKE YOU?
Joseph LoDuca, "March of the Dead Theme"
Um.
30. IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
Toni Childs, "Tin Drum" did not play
Depeche Mode, "Everything Counts"
in large amounts.
31. WHAT HURTS RIGHT NOW?
Harold Budd, "Afar"
The fact that most of you are so far away! Also: this migraine.
32. WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?
Ella Fitzgerald, "My One and Only Love"
Other songs before going offline:
33. Bruce Cockburn, "Change Your Mind"
34. a-ha, "The Blue Sky"
35. Kina, "I Love You" did not play
Buck Owens, "Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass"
36. Deep Dish, "Jumbo (Rob Rives and Francois K Main Dish) - Underworld"
37. The Police, "Fall Out"
38. Jimmy Cliff, "Wild World"
39. The Postal Service, "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight"
40. Paula Cole, "14"
RULES:
1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
4. Tag 10 friends.
5. Everyone tagged has to do the same thing.
6. Have Fun!
