coyotegoth | And, speaking of music...

...I've pretty much forsworn the horror of online quizzes, but this one (courtesy of

evening_rush, who once groused at me for posting online quizzes, but I loves her anyway :P) spoke to me, not least because of piano barring activities. And so, without further ado: Name one song that...

1. reminds you of an ex-lover: "You Make Loving Fun"- Fleetwood Mac

2. reminds you of an ex-friend: "Anarchy in the UK"- Pistols

3. reminds you of your childhood: "In the Mood"- Glenn Miller (this was our ho liday music in my house when I was growing up; no, I'm not that old- so STIFLE! :P)

4. makes you cry: "This Woman's Work"- Kate Bush; and, there was this song the Muppets did...

5. makes you laugh: "Invocation and Instructions to the Audience", from the album A Stephen Sondheim Evening

6. makes you wanna dance: "Red Palace" from the Running Jumping Standing Still album by Willie Murphy & "Spider" John Koerner

7. reminds you of the one you love: ...the "one" I love? Impossible. I'll grab a name out of the hat, and say "Building a Mystery"- Sarah McLachlan

8. makes you very, very sleepy: "Pillow of Winds"- Pink Floyd; actually got my nephew to go to sleep once after a case of the crankies by putting this on repeat...

9. you wish you wrote: Dylan... gods, where to begin?

10. you wish had been written for you: Sarah McLachlan's first album entire, particularly "Ben's Song"

11. fills you with complete joy: the Flash Gordon theme song by Queen

12. you never want to hear aga in: pretty much anything the major labels have released in the last ten years- feh! McMusic! (Yeah, it's a generalization, but you see where I'm coming from, I know.) Also, I'm more than glad to not be hearing "My Heart Will Go On" every damn time a car d rives by, although I did respect the movie's story telling.

13. you want to get married to: Old Old Woodstock by Van Morrison... first song of dozens that leaped to mind.

14. you want played at your funeral: "Heaven Can Wait"- Meat Loaf; "Song for the S iren"- This Mortal Coil; "Astral Weeks"- Van Morrison

15. makes you want to mosh/slam dance: "Rise Above"- Black Flag

16. sums up your teenage years: emotionally, "Wish You Were Here"- Pink Floyd; experientially, "The End"- Doors

17. you used to hate b ut now love: Hard to say- there was a lot of 80's music I was having strong reactions against for a while, because it brought back my 1980's so specifically- but, as any one who's seen me at the piano bar can tell you, I'm over that now :)

18. yo u like to wake up to: "Wake Up, Boo!"- the Boo Radleys

19. you like out of your parent's record collection: various classical albums; various Glenn Miller tunes

20. your parents like out of your record collection: I remember Mom being quite favorably impressed by "Behind Blue Eyes"; Dad seems to like the quieter Beatles tunes I play for him, but he's so genial, it's hard to say for sure :)

21. you love that you wouldn't know about if your friends hadn't have told you: gods, where to begin? Johnny Cash, I suppose... Frank Zappa... Beefheart... King Crimson's first album...

22. makes you think of someone who died: the Disintegration album, entire...

23. you love the video more than the tune: that Rolling Stones video where they're stomping around New York like geriatric Godzillas :)

24. reminds you of your first crush: the Bionic Woman theme song... long story ;)

25. you love which is from one of your favorite movies: I literally wouldn't know where to begin, and certainly not where to end.

26. makes you think of the moon: the first song off of Secrets of the Beehive, although I couldn't say why.

27. makes you think of sex: "Sweet Surrender" by Sarah McLachlan; "The Sensual World" by Kate Bush... again, too many...

2 8. makes you think of being alone: "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" by Sinatra; the Blade Runner album.

29. you love to hear at clubs: gaah... there are so many songs I love, but have never been able to track down properly. I'll stick with "R ed Right Hand" by Nick Cave, which seemed to be my theme song at Byzantium for a while, as it was always playing just as I walked in...

30. makes you think deeply: "I am Stretched on Your Grave" by Dead Can Dance... that whole album, really. Again, "Astr al Weeks"- a song of limitless comfort for me.

(And, apropos of nothing, an urgent note to self: don't log in here over the weekend from Mom's computer (although I may just friends-lock it), as Mom does know enough about computers these days t o sniff out what sites I've been visiting... and neither one of us really needs for her to read all of this.)
