Today's Meme
is brought to you by mrsbigtuna.
I know, I know, I haven't posted anything of major importance in SO long. I'm going through a lot of personal stuff that I'm spending a lot of time digesting and processing, and when I do post it, most of it's going to TheEliteFew.
Anyway, here's the fun music meme!
Put your iTunes on shuffle and substitute the artist in each question with the next one on your list. Do not repeat anyone.
01. What's your favorite song by Alanis Morissette?
"So Unsexy."
02. How did you get into My Brightest Diamond?
She and her band opened for The Decememberists a couple years ago, even though I was already familiar with her somehow (through MySpace?), seeing her live solidified my eagerness to own her material.
03. Who is your favorite member in Sirsy?
Really? Sirsy's just Melanie and Rich. I can't choose between the two of them--they're both important to the band's sound and creativity.
04. What's your favorite lyric by Blondie?
It's cliche, but I do so love "I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha..."
05. Have you ever seen Sarah McLachlan live?
Surprisingly no. I'm hoping that when Lilith Fair comes around this year, I will be able to.
06. What's your favorite album from Paula Cole?
This Fire. Everyone probably owns it, but there's just something so timeless with that one.
07. Do you own any merchandise from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals?
Just the album Nothing But The Water.
08. What is a good memory you have of Regina Spektor?
I don't... really... have one. I've never seen her live, and I got most of her music from a friend. I'd certainly love to see her live once though.
09. Is there anyone the same age as you in Angela McCluskey?
No.
10. When did you first get into Jodi Martin?
A few years ago. I have no idea how I found her. Maybe MySpace or Emusic.
11. Who likes Rosie Thomas along with you?
I'm pretty sure my friend Rich likes her now, after seeing her open for Over The Rhine.
12. Which song did you first hear from Stars?
"Tonight." wearethestars sent it to me.
13. What song made you fall in love with Dido?
I denied the appeal of her stuff for a long time. I just didn't want to jump on the bandwagon. But the song that just REALLY got to me is "Honestly OK."
14. Which song do you not like by moe.?
You know, honestly, this band only came up because it's Jay's music. I'm pretty neutral about them, so I don't have a specific answer for this.
15. Why do you like Michael Franti & Spearhead?
Another one in my collection because of Jay, but I do like the Yell Fire! album and the song "Say Hey (I Love You)." It's fun stuff.
16. Where did you first hear Bel Canto?
Through zakmckracken. He's really opened my ears to some great female vocalists...
17. How long were My Morning Jacket a band before you got into them?
Oh geez, probably six or seven years (without my checking on Wiki). I only just got into them after hearing the album Evil Urges.
18. Does Christina Aguilera have a song that gives you a bad memory?
Umm. I promise I only have a couple of her songs in my iTunes, so no. I'm not that big of a fan.
19. When did you get into Dixie Chicks?
In college, so that was probably 12 years ago or so. A friend of mine was playing them in the car and while I don't typically go for country music, I really like Natalie Maines' vocals.
20. How long have you been into Aimee Mann?
I bought one of her albums used in college, so again probably something like 12 or so years. Surprisingly, I'm not a huge fan, but I really enjoy her when she comes up on my iTunes player.
21. If Beastie Boys had a concert 300 miles away, would you drive there to see them?
Probably not. They're in my music because of Jay, even though I really respect them.
22. How many Deb Talan albums do you own?
Two and one boot. And three more if you count The Weepies stuff.
23. Does Ingrid Michaelson have a song that makes you cry?
Nope. Most of her songs make me happy or reflective.
24. Does Jamie Walters have a song that makes you happy?
Haha, shut up. Yes. He wouldn't be in my library if that wasn't the case. But I'm not telling you which one. So there.
25. Does Beck have a song that makes you smile?
Several. But right away is "Soul of a Man" because of the scene it played over in I Love You, Man.
26. What's the last song you've listened to of Jason Mraz?
Pretty sure it was either "Lucky" or "Life is Wonderful."
27. Is there a song by Fleet Foxes that you've listened to more than 30 times?
Haha, my iTunes has crashed out on me a few times, so I can't tell that for sure. I can tell you that "White Winter Hymnal" is the most played.
28. What is a song from Yeah Yeah Yeahs that you've only listened to once?
None, but I can tell you that "Skeletons" (acoustic) is the least listened to.

"We Are All Made Of Stars."
30. What song got you into Tori Amos?
"Silent All These Years."

Blame them for being sellouts to the Outback Steakhouse, but I'm going to say "Wraith Pinned To The Mist And Other Games."
32. If Bryan Adams hated you, what would you do?
Have him listen to his songs again, since he seems to write love songs for the most part.
33. What would you say if one of the members from Lourds asked you out?
I'd totally tap her ass ;) lol

Not really, since it seems she's got bad taste in men anyway.

Bono probably. lol
36. Do you think Ani DiFranco is good looking?
