20 Tracks Meme
Sorry if it's all a bit meme-y here recently, blame Gordon for being a bad blogging influence if you want. Anyhoo, here we go again...
1. A track from your early childhood
"Robert De Niro's Waiting" By Bananarama. Bugger off.
2. A track that you associate with your first love
Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes - "(I've Had) the Time of My Life". It was the 80's. Dirty Dancing was cool.
3. A track that reminds you of a holiday trip
"Holiday" By the Happy Mondays, camping trip, '03, West Cork.
4. A track that you like but wouldn?t want to be associated with in public
See # 2.
5. A track that accompanied you when you were lovesick
"Just The Two Of Us" By Bill Withers. Lovely song. "We can make it if we try, just the two of us..."
6. A track that you have probably listened to most often
Jeepers. I dunno. Summat by Bob Marley. Probably "Exodus".
7. A track that is your favourite instrumental
"McBrides" by Moving Hearts. Most of you will never have heard/heard of this, it's amazing.
8. A track that represents one of your favourite bands
"Fools Gold" by the Stone Roses. The 9.53 version that goes on forever, unlike the Stone Roses.
9. A track which represents yourself best
"City Hall" by Tenacious D. Coz (I'm sitting 20 floors below sea level. In a bunker...) I don't like politicians, as a rule. We should all rise up and beat the bastards. Just listen to the song and you'll know what I mean.
10. A track that reminds you of a special occasion (which one?)
Really stumped on this one. Generally it's the people that remind me of a special occasion, so let's just say err... "High And Dry", by Radiohead, coz the last time I saw them play it live, it was special.
11. A track that you can relax to
"Sarah" by Thin Lizzy/Phil Lynott. Very nice.
12. A track that stands for a really good time in your life
Right now is a really, really good time in my life, probably the best, so like, "When The Sun Goes Down" by Arctic Monkeys I s'pose.
13. A track that is currently your favourite
"When The Sun Goes Down" by Arctic Monkeys. :-)
14. A track that you?d dedicate to your best friend
"Friendship" by Tenacious D. To my very excellent mate and dear cousin, Andy.
15. A track that you think nobody but you likes
"Build It Up, Tear It Down" by Slimboy Fat Fatboy Slim
16. A track that you like especially for its lyrics
"War" by Bob Marley. Because every word is the truth: "Until the philosophy that holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanantly discredited and abandoned: WAR"
17. A track that you like that?s neither English nor German
"Mamo Bajo" by Kanda Bongo Man from the Congo. I have it on tape from years ago and it makes me dance uncontrollably.
18. A track that lets you release tension best
"I Am The Resurrection" by The Stone Roses. It's John Squire's guitar you see, and the chorus. It's something I can shout and play air guitar to.
19. A track that you want to be played on your funeral
As in the previous meme, "Don't Stop Me Now", by Queen.
20. A track that you?d nominate for the ?best of all times? category
"The End" by The Doors.
Hopefully that'll be the last meme for a while, but you never know, I might run out of stuff to blog and have to meme something. I apologise in advance.

"Don't Stop Me Now" at your funeral would be hilarious. It would be a FUNeral!

Actually I'd love to be the one who thought of this originally, but the credit has to go to Jonny Kennedy, from the Channel 4 documentary, 'The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off', who wanted it played at his funeral. When it was played all his relatives were laughing and crying at the same time, and I thought to myself 'I'm totally doing that'. Because funerals are so depressing aren't they?

Don't apologise for the memes, they're fascinating, especially the music ones. It's so personal, when people ask "what music do you like?" I think it could be shorthand for "what are you like?"

Oh I know, I know, but sometimes it's an all-to-easy way out when there's f*** all else to be blogging about. Apology rescinded, but I'm still going to try not to meme for a week or three. Probably.
(unless there's f*** all else to blog...)
