First of all, thanks to Matt for these questions. I love blogging about my music (I think).
Anyway, I feel like I’m about to reveal a lot about myself. My music is very representative of who I am. If I could list every song in my itunes library, you all would know everything about me… kinda. Anyways, please don’t hate on my music. I might cry.
Q: If someone new were in your car, what song on your player would you be the quickest to skip out of embarrassment:
A: Dolly Parton’s “Jesus and Gravity”. Yikes.
Q: What song or songs is/are most “atypical” on your player?
A: Once again, this award goes to my collection of Dolly Parton… Adam gave me one of her CDs. Wow. I fail.
Q: What song(s) on your player turns you on?
A: I’ll just label this question “most romantic song” because none of my songs turn me on. So my answer – maybe Gavin DeGraw’s “More Than Anyone”.
Q: If you wanted to get a member of the opposite sex in the mood, what song would you program to come on when they are in the car?
A: That totally depends on the guy. I can’t answer this question without more detail about who the guy is.
Q: What is the longest song on your player?
A: “Rite of Spring” from Disney’s Fantasia (performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra). 22 minutes 28 seconds. Booya.
Q: What do you think is the silliest song on your player?
A: Hahaha – “Don’t Fall In Love With A Homo” by Jonny McGovern. This is one of the most ridiculous songs I’ve bought… except it’s also amazing (and full of good advice to straight women).
Q: What did you most recently add to your player?
A: So, I’m a part of this group that reviews random CDs every two weeks, and our most recent CD is “Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust” (English: With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly) by Sigur Rós. I have no clue what the lead singer is saying, but it’s beautiful.
Q: What did you most recently delete?
A: I can’t remember. When a song is deleted from my itunes playlist, it’s also deleted from my memory.
Q: What is your favorite song on your player that is from a movie?
A: THIS IS A HARD QUESTION. I almost don’t want to answer this because I feel like every song is in a movie at some point. The winner goes to “Good Morning” from Singin’ In the Rain only because it’s my favorite movie of all time.
Q: Is there a song on your player that is only there for someone else’s benefit?
A: No. Sometimes I download songs because other people/my friends like them (eventually I end up liking them too), but that’s about it.
Q: What song or artist do you find yourself skipping most frequently and therefor should probably delete?
A: No – this question doesn’t apply to me. When I skip songs, it’s because I’m not in the mood to listen to them at that point in time. Eventually I’ll be ready to listen again. And why would I delete my songs? That’s like throwing away money.
Q: Without cheating, start your player and list the first 10 songs that come up in random play.
A: Crap. I was afraid of this.
1. Gwen Stefani “Wonderful Life”
2. KT Tunstall “Another Place to Fall”
3. Celine Dion “Taking Chances” (haha)
4. Barbra Streisand “You’ll Never Walk Alone” (oh gosh…)
5. Harry Connick Jr. “But Not For Me”
6. Ani DiFranco “Cloud Blood”
7. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat “The Brothers Come to Egypt – Grovel, Grovel” (awesome)
8. MIKA “Stuck In the Middle”
9. Clay Aiken “Shine” (oh dear God…)
10. John Mayer Trio “Another Kind of Green”

Wow. I feel vulnerable. I think I’ll lay off the entries about music for a while…
