I have decided, after great consideration, that Blood Sugar Sex Magik is my favourite ever album.
What are some of your favourites?
(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 23:24, 43 replies, latest was 15 years ago)
Have you heard other music?
my favourite albums change depending on mood. Favourite songs, however:
EverLong - Foo Fighters
Mayonnaise - Smashing Pumpkins
Daylight Fading - Couting Crows
We used to Wait - Arcade Fire
Paranoid Android - Radiohead
Favourite concerto - Grieg's Piano one (in A, I think)
Will that do for an overlong answer?
How about favourite number? I like 6 best.

it's all about your brain interpreting things via other senses, or something. To me numbers and words are colours (and also shapes, but not as you think I mean), smells can be colours or sound, sound has colour and shape. Concepts tend to be the same sort of shape/colour thing, too so I sometimes have theories which I can 'see' work but have to make them into words.
Happens most when I'm tired

what colour is 4 for you?

they only exist in my brain space, that's why it's not really shape so much as a 'conceptual' shape which is also related to the colour. This is not a good description, really, but language sucks at this

something like 1 in 20 have it to some degree - especially people who do arty things. I was about 14 before I realised everyone else didn't.

although once I was so hot and tired when I was playing in a concert with the orchestra that I kept getting distracted by the colours of the notes. Given I'm pretty bad at it anyway, I suspect I was playing atrociously.

Usually colours and shapes. It's not the sort of thing you can ask others if they experience as well.

done that too! If I'm really tired if someone strokes my arm or something it's like it's a concept or idea. I've had to ask previous boyfriend not to touch me for 20 minutes or so just because it was making me feel woozy

This unique perspective was part of what made his harmonic "language" so rich and varied.

who would demand the orchestra play more 'blue'

It's a rare beast that's slappably smug and addictively tuneful at the same time.
