0. This is who I am listening to the most in the last few months:
1. Chris Pureka
2. The Strokes
3. Lucas Cates
4. Elliott Smith
5. Rogue Wave
6. Regina Spektor
7. Neko Case
8. Me'shell Ndegeocello
9. Kinnie Starr
10. Amos Lee
1. First song you ever heard by 6 (Regina Spektor)?
That Time-- I loved the "so sweet and juicy!!" part.
2. Favorite album of 2 (The Strokes)? Ize of the World-- but it is really, really hard to choose..of the three albums I love all three. I feel most connected to this one though--and it is what I listen to the most.
3. Favorite lyric that 5 (Rogue Wave) has sung? "She can light you up like a holiday tree in summer"
4. How many times have you seen 4 (Elliott Smith) live? zero-- unfortunately he died before I ever even knew his music.
5. What is your favorite song by 7 (Neko Case)? I Wish I was the Moon --this song made me cry the first probably 30 times I heard it.
6. Good memory you have involving the music of 10 (Amos Lee)? The first time I heard Lucas Cates cover Amos Lee's song "Keep it loose, keep it tight"...I had just been listening to the song at my house...and I cried for the whole song. (This song has come up for me in four different intense situations with different people--I love it)
7. Song of 3 (Lucas Cates) that makes you sad? hidden track on Contradictory
8. Favorite lyric that 2 (The Strokes) has sung? so many... how about "I was hiding from the world, I was a squirrel. You chopped down my tree, to get to my fur" adding another one I just figured out (10/17/07) "It's not the secrets of the government that's keeping you dumb. Oh, it's the other way around..."
9. How did you get into 3 (Lucas Cates)? Going to the Bar Next Door with my sister. She told me to come see this guy play for at least six months before I went down there. awesome. I have gone almost every week since...
10. First song you heard by 1 (Chris Pureka)? I think it was "silo song" but I'm not sure. I was at Elina's house this summer. I had just stayed up all night. Elina and Jordy and I laid down in the rain for hours...they fell asleep in the rain. I got up and watched them sleep from the porch. they woke up and Elina put on music. I had never heard Chris before (in fact didn't know it was her at the time) and I cried a lot during the song, to the song, to my feelings, to the rain.
11. Favorite song by 4 (Elliott Smith)? Absolutely can not choose one. I will say a few: The Biggest Lie, Say Yes, Can't Make a Sound.
12. How many times have you seen 9 (Kinnie Starr) live? once at the Michigan Womyn's Festival
13. Good memory you have involving 2 (The Strokes)? Going to the show (only saw them once) and just being blown away...there were several points I thought I was going to die, from the music pounding on my rib cage, from the emotions going through me, I kept found myself dancing slightly (mostly an odd sort of rocking back and forth) while my hands were at my forehand as if I were praying, but I wasn't in the conventional sense. It was like I could do nothing else or I would implode.
14. Song of 8 (Me'Shell Ndegeocello) that makes you sad? Faithful. Most of her songs make me extremely happy. This whole album makes me kinda sad. I just picked one.
15. Favorite album of 5 (Rogue Wave)? Descended Like Vultures
16. Favorite lyric that 3 (Lucas Cates) has sung? "Be Yourself, all else is contradictory."
17. Favorite song of 1 (Chris Pureka)? These Pages
18. Favorite song of 10 (Amos Lee)? "Keep it loose, keep it tight"--hate the name--love everything else about the song.
19. How many times have you seen 8 (Me'Shell Ndegeocello) live? once--I think that was the most attracted I have ever been to someone (to her)...it's sorta embarrasing that it was towards a famous person I don't even know but oh well...
20. Favorite album of 1 (Chris Pureka)? Dryland
21. Great memory you have considering 9 (Kinnie Starr)? Dancing to her album alone in my apartment
22. First song you heard by 8 (Me'shell Ndegeocello)? I have absolutely no idea. I don't know how I heard of her or anything. The reason I started buying all her albums was from the song "I'm Diggin' you" but I think already somehow had the record. makes me think I bought it used on a whim. I used to do that back then.
23. Favorite cover by 2 (The Strokes) ? I heard a version of them singing a Marvin Gaye song, can't remember which song now...but it was great.
Took me so long to finish.
