Soundtracks!
Oh man I was totally rocking out in my car a bit ago, it's put me in a super happy mood.
I'm a pop slut.
Songs included:
Fergalicious, "I said never again (but here we are)" and "So Good" by Rachel Stevens, Womanizer, "Buttons" by the Pussycat Dolls and so many more that I can't remember

What songs make you happy?
Alt q: What songs make you cry?
Mine are "Possibility" by Lykke Li, "If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw and "Feels Like Home" Chantal Kreviazuk

I'm having the Top Gun theme played at my funeral and I think many, many people think that is a gash song.

the Top Gun theme is fucking awesome. I need to relearn it on the guitar. Particularly as I now have a delay pedal.

I would play Highway to the Dangerzone at take off
Or a Buddy Holly, John Denver and Aaliyah medley.

wait - I thought Highway to the Dangerzone
was the Top Gun theme?

fair enough
think it was one that was overplayed when I was at school.

yeah, I don't like them either
saw them supporting Reef before they were big, and they were average then. nowhere near as good as Reef or A

and then they got worse.

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 17:07, Reply)

odd how that sort of thing happens
they released a best of a year or two ago, which featured a couple of B-sides (I think) that were better than almost all of their other songs.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 17:12, Reply)

I think I have their album on my itunes
(stupid ex-husband left it on there) From what I've heard of it, it wasn't great
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 17:14, Reply)

they went shit after their second album
and in hindsight, not much of that was good either

plus I discovered fairly recently that the music from one of their best songs was entirely ripped off from someone else.

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 17:07, Reply)

I normally get annoyed with people who use the word "party" as a verb
But I forgave Andrew WK, mainly because the "Party hard, party hard, party hard" refrain in between verses on that song sounds like they're singing "Har-de-har, har-de-har, har-de-har."
(LongJohnBaldry, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 17:08, Reply)

also one of his tracks was
"Party 'til you puke" What's not to love?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 17:22, Reply)

I like the song
and I love the album, but No Surprises stood for everything I feared in life, and the album came out just as I left uni. I blame it for why I've only just started a real career and don't own a house
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 17:23, Reply)

Happy?
Sad to say Britney Spears Toxic makes me happy. I associate it with good times. Also Run to the Hills (Iron Maiden)

Suzanne by Leonard Cohen makes me sad, but no song has ever made me cry. I don't get very emotionally involved in music. Also the Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence theme song
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 17:44, Reply)

that
Kreviazuk track is really quite saddening.

Currently, OLP's "Innocent" is making me feel happy, reminds me of piss-taking with my friends

Depends upon my mood.
Sometimes some ska will put me into a kick-ass mood, sometimes it's Squirrel Nut Zippers, sometimes it's Bonzo Dog (doo-dah) Band. Other times it will be something clam and gentle that eases me into a relaxed and happy state.

Good news of the day- I have full range of motion back in my ankle and am healing at an unprecedented rate. I've been approved to put 150 lbs weight on my ankle, and they think that next week they can move me to full weight. My mutant genetics are still strong, it would seem.
