Wha happen?
It's been way too long since I've posted here. So I'll break the ice with this music survey involving my lists from my Last FM page that is linked below:
Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm:
1 Jimmy Eat World
2 The Ashtray Hearts
3 The Ataris
4 The All American Rejects
5 Blacklisted
6 The Get Up Kids
7 Elliott
7 Jack's Mannequin
9 Ceremony
10 The Blackout Pact
Now answer the questions according to the numbers:
-- what was the first song you ever heard by 6?
I think it was probably "Valentine" or "Out of Reach."
-- what is your favourite album of 2?
Only album I've heard is Perfect Halves. I need to pick up Old Numbers.
-- what is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
I'll be honest, Blacklisted probably isn't the most poetic band out there, but they do speak with conviction:
DONT CARE--about my generation,
DONT CARE--if I stand or fall,
DONT CARE --about my reputation
I'm chasing aspirations I never saw.
Well fuck you!
So sick of culture's sickness
And all that I have witnessed
I can't face a crowd
Please believe me when I fucking say,
Times about the last thing that we need,
I know how it feels to not want to speak,
-- how many times have you seen 4 live?Ha, I've never seen All American Rejects live... I'll be honest they're really a guilty pleasure band. I don't think I'd ever pay money to see them live.
-- what is your favourite song by 7?
Hmm, since I have two bands tied for 7, here it is:
Elliott - Waiting While Under Paralysis
Jack's Mannequin - I'm Ready (Again, a very guilty pleasure)
-- what is a good memory you have considering the music of 10?
Hmmm, a good memory of The Blackout Pact. Probably seeing them with Berndt at the Triple Rock. I think we were the only two there that cared that they were playing.
-- is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Hmmm, The Ataris. That band has been with me for a long time... I'd have to say "The Last Song I Will Ever Write About a Girl." That was the anthem freshman year of college.
-- what is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?
I'll say the beginning lyrics to "Flowers."
-- what is your favourite song by 9?
Definitely "Troubled Waters."
-- how did you get in to 3?
Um, I can't really remember all that well. I listened to "San Dimas High School Football Rules" with someone and then when I was working at the mall I bought Blue Skies, Broken Hearts, Next 12 Exits at Sam Goody on a break. And I really liked it.
-- what was the first song you heard by 1?
I think it was "Believe In What You Want."
-- what is your favourite song by 4?
O wow. Um, I'll go with "Swing Swing."
-- how many time have you seen 9 live?
Never seen them live. Hopefully they'll tour here this summer.
-- what is a good memory you have concerning 2?
Strangely enough it was just Friday night. A bunch of us (Valley, Dyer, Girtz, Myles, me) went to go see them play at this little dive bar in nordeast. It was a good show, and good times, we all got drunk and heard some good music. Then played a game of darts that never ended.
-- is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
Since there is no 8, I'll list 7 twice again:
Elliott - Calvary Song
Jack's Mannequin - None really, they don't elicit much of an emotional response, but I guess I'd go with "Rescued."
-- what is your favourite album of 5?
I still like Our Youth is Wasted the most.
-- what is your favourite lyric that 3 has sung?
Um, once again The Ataris aren't the most poetic band:
"Girls are fucking evil."
-- what is your favourite song of 1?
It's gotta be either "Crush" or "Just Watch the Fireworks."
-- what is your favourite song of 10?
Definitely "We Drink So You Don't Have To."
-- how many times have you seen 8 live?
Haven't seen either 7's. I don't really care about Jack's Mannequin, but I really wished I would've seen Elliott. Especially since they haven't existed for two years now. All I have now is their last show DVD. Sad.
-- what is your favourite album of 1?
No doubt about it, "Clarity."
-- what is a great memory you have considering 9?
Absolutely none.
