Making order out of chaos

What does my music collection say about me?

It’s been a week and no posts from me, but I have good excuses. While I look around for those, you should read this meme I stole from Allison.

If someone new were in your car, what song on your player would you be quickest to skip out of embarrassment?
-I Just Called to Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder. I love this song, but I don’t think I’m supposed to.
 
What song or song(s) is/are most “atypical” on your player?
-Pretty much anything by Metallica – but there are times when Metallica is called for.

What song(s) on your player turns you on?
-Creatively? Some Devil by Dave Matthews or Into Dust by Mazzy Star and anything off the Hernán Cattáneo Sequential Volume 2 cd set. Physically? Well, I think What if We Could and Sound of Pulling Heaven Down by Blue October are a good start.

If you wanted to get a member of the opposite sex in the mood, what song would you program to come on when they are in the car?
-Lovers in a Dangerous Time by the Barenaked Ladies or Better Together by Jack Johnson.

What is the longest song on your player?
-Bolero by Ravel.

What do you think is the silliest song on your player?
-Skullcrusher Mountain by Jonathan Coulton.

What did you most recently add to your player?
-
The Dollyrots, Because I’m Awesome cd.

What did you most recently delete?
-Whole Wide World by Wreckless Eric. I like it a lot, but it was really jarring given the other songs in the playlist.

What is your favorite song on your player that is from a movie?
-Someone to Love by Fiona Apple from the Pleasantville soundtrack and Cherry Cherry by Neil Diamond from Anchorman.
 
Is there a song on your player that is only there for someone else’s benefit?
-Symphonic by Emm Gryner. Joe loves her – I tolerate her.
 
What song or artist do you find yourself skipping most frequently and therefore should probably delete?
-No Rain by Blind Melon. This song depresses and annoys me.

Without cheating, start your player and list the first 10 songs that come up in random play.
1. Impossible Germany – Wilco
2. Five Long Years – Colin James
3. Some Devil – Dave Matthews
4. Edie (Ciao Baby) – The Cult
5. Let Yourself Go – Alex Pangman
6. Mission to Moscow – Benny Goodman
7. Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor – Bwv 1043 1.Vivace – J.S. Bach
8. Rico – Matthew Good Band
9. Carry On My Wayward Son – Kansas
10. All You Want – Dashboard Prophets

Talk about ecclectic!

Better posts are coming I swear it (still searching for my excuses list).

you’re rockin’ some Bach, I love that! :-) Actually my next phase of musical education is to acquaint myself with some classical music…I love piano the best, so I might start with Chopin….ya I’m weird like that….my recent schooling was in the realm of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin….how did I miss out for so many years on those guys? Too busy listening to Nirvana in high school I guess…lol ;-)

@ Romi – Bach kicks bum. Beethoven is my favourite though.

My dad looks like Frank Sinatra (at least, he does when he dressed up in a suit and tie). It’s pretty weird to look through photos of the Rat Pack and see my dad. :P My dad can’t sing for beans though, so the resemblance ends at looks.
