Day 29. A song from your childhood - Genesis: Mama

I have been a Genesis fan since I was about three years old. My sister Birgit had their untitled/eponymous album, and even though I cannot remember the first time I heard it, I remember vividly how hooked I was - especially on the first song, Mama.

I drove my sister nuts. I demanded she play the ( Read more... )

Day 28. A song that makes you feel guilty

There is none. Stop looking at me.

Day 27. A song that you wish you could play - Meat Puppets: Sam

I am no instrumentalist and have zero aspiration to be one. So in order not to let this post be a complete dud, I kinda wish I could sing this:


Meat Puppets: Sam. Forbidden Places, (P) 1991 London Records.

Day 26. A song that you can play on an instrument  - Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft: Der Mussolini

With two index fingers. Wonkily.

Day 25. A song that makes you laugh - Finntroll: Ursvamp

Day 24. A song that you want to play at your funeral

I have every intention to live forever.

On a more sober note, if there will be people who need a funeral for me, and if that ceremony is to be in my memory... do not play fucking ABBA.

Not that I'll notice or anything.

Day 23. A song that you want to play at your wedding - AFX: Every Day

File under: hypothetical, very.

From a legal standpoint, it will not happen - certainly not in Germany. Our Supreme Court, the Bundesgerichtshof, has already ruled that marriage is by definition between a man and a woman. While in that same ruling they left the doors wide open to ( Read more... )

Day 20. A song that you listen to when you’re angry
Day 21. A song that you listen to when you’re happy
Day 22. A song that you listen to when you’re sad

This post will just be one major cop-out.

While songs can easily influence my mood, I have never noticed how my mood influences my choice in music. For instance, when I am angry, I do not listen to ( Read more... )

Day 19. A song from your favorite album - Autechre: Eggshell (from ("Incunabula")

I cheated a wee bit, yet again. I have no definitive number one favourite album. Genesis' Selling England By the Pound would have been an easy and legitimate pick, as would Dubnobasswithmyheadman by Underworld. But Genesis will come up again later in this meme, and ( Read more... )
