I was stitched up and roped into this by Nicole at Craftapalooza . Onetwothreefour…
1. Total amount of music files on your computer?
Whittled down to top 1500 .
2. CD you last bought?
Frank Black Francis
Pixies obsession spurred this is a bit of odd completism. Disk two of remixes is interesting in a pavlova with a sea urchin glaze kind of way. Or maybe a glazed urchin with a sea pavlova.
3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?
Can't remember. Let's just imagine it was the Scientist's Nitro .
4. 5 songs you often listen to, or which mean a lot to you?
- Hallelujah – John Cale
Sublimating like it should. Nudges out Jerusalem - Blackfella/ White Fella – Warumpi Band
"message" song but mucho fun and leaves me happy rather than wanting to run out and tip a car over before setting it on fire. And so much better than INXS' dream on thingy,not to mention Ebony and Ivory and less said of MJ and PMcC the better. Similar fave Free Nelson Mandela by the Specials a tad redundant now, no? - Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
Bypasses all rational thought.
Pangadangpangdangdang[shifts weight onto balls of feet] - Bring the Noise – Public Enemy
Don't think any song has left me quite so mentally knackered after listening to it for the first time. BASS! - You Are Always On My Mind – Elvis [the 70s box-set live version]
Had mea culpa to Priscilla all over it and a glimpse of the oxen sized heart beating beneath that would eventually finish him off. Hunka Hunka Cheeseburger mockers can bite me. No heresy in the Pet Shop Boys version at all though.
5. Who are you going to pass this on to and why?
Jeanne – because I suspect she'll catch a couple of notable omissions.
Andrew – because he'll fret about it, do a fantastic job, think it's rubbish, but secretly enjoy it all.
Saint – passing on the getting to know you aspect of this to a most enigmatic of South Australians.
Non obligatory of course, I don't think it's one of these and the ship they then sailed on, The Titanic , type chainy letter thing.
