What music are you currently grooving to?
Tsiftetelli by The Toids (This is the song my bellydance class performed, with slightly different choreography, for our class recital.)
I picked this particular video of this song because, A.) I can't find an actual video for the song on YouTube and B.) It comes closer than any other choreography I saw to the level of "skill" (I use that term loosely when I apply it to myself) our class exhibited during our bellydance "class recital." This is not to say these girls aren't great, but what they do "drunk/hopped up on cold medicine" is what I can strive to claim stone cold sober on a good day.
What, if push comes to shove, is your all-time favourite album?
Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix
I couldn't choose at first, but then I remembered how much I loved this album during my formative years. I can, and did, listen to it over and over and over. I know, it explains alot doesn't it.
What was the first record you ever bought? And where did you buy it?
I can't believe I'm actually going to admit this...
Hangin' Tough - New Kids on the Block
I had other tapes, but this was the first one I can remember actually buying with my own money. Sad, but true.
Which musician have you ever wanted to be?
Joan Jett!
Now I am adding my own variation of this question, because when I first read that last question I thought it said "Which musician have you ever wanted to be WITH?" and I had two or three answers I thought of right off the bat and it's a shame to waste them. So here we go:
Which musician have you ever wanted to be WITH?
1. Henry Rollins - I fell for him the first time I heard him on a Black Flag album and never looked back. Damn. He's still top of my list in his mid forties and his button down shirt. Damn, I say. I'm sorry, what was the question?
2. Nuno - What can I say? Great fingers on a pretty pretty man. mmmmmm.... Nuno!
What do you sing in the shower?
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round
Now you can sing it too! Go ahead, you know you want to.
What is your favourite Saturday night record?
Okay, I don't know what this means... and neither did the person who Tagged me. I'm gonna put my own interpretation on this and go with "Saturday night record" as "Make Out Album." So here I'm linking to my Favorite Make Out Album, because I can.
The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion - The Black Crowes
I don't know why but there's just something about that whole album that's just always made me feel warm and loose, could've been the Southern Comfort...
And your Sunday morning record?
Okay, I really don't know what the hell this means, but again I am going to choose my own interpretation... I'm going to say it means your "Makes You Feel Like You've Found Religion Album." So here's mine.
Mule Variations - Tom Waits
"Cold Water" is my favorite song off that album. My favorite line from any song ever written is in that song: "I found an old dog and it seems to like me..."
Well, there it is - My musical soul laid bare. You might want to go wash out your ears. Because of extenuating circumstances, my best friend does not allow outside links to her super secret personal blog. Soooo, I am going to tag her via email instead of calling the bitch out in public like she needs. If it's really embarrassing I'll be sure to share a little of it.
