Dok Holocaust vs. the Insanely Huge Music Meme

Stole this from Petite Muse, because I’ve been yearning for a meme. As Oscar Wilde put it, “When the Gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.” it is truly ginormous, so i am putting the whole thing after the break.

Great late night albums? I gotta ask: for what? I’m usually asleep late at night, gotta get my Mutie-rest (beauty sleep for mutants). but, in the unlikely event that i am awake…
1. Joy Division – Unknown Pleasures.
2. This Mortal Coil – It’ll End In Tears
3. if I’m awake late at night working on a project, probably a blend of Dr Steel, Zombina and the Skeletones, and The Amino Acids

Name 5 wistful/bittersweet songs:
1. Hybrid Rainbow, by the pillows
2. Mr. Somewhere, by the Apartments

One of Your Favorite Lyrics:
Gods, just one? hm. okay. from Big Star’s “Holocaust,” – “you’re a wasted face/you’re a sad-eyed lie/you’re a holocaust.” short and to the point.

Song That Is Too Damn Sad:
see above. lately i’ve been finding sad songs really calming, as i have been very angry, and I use the sad to defuse the angry and achive a sort of mellow. some live versions of Joy Division’s “New dawn fades” are pretty high in the running as well.

Great Love Song
“Stacy Stasis” by Zombina and the Skeletones

Honorable Mention:
“counting on your suicide” by Zombina and the Skeletones

Song To An Ex That Isn’t Meanspirited:
“R.I.P” by Zombie Ghost Train (not as mean as the title implies)

Song That Makes You Miss Your Mom:
i don’t miss my mom. I don’t aim for her, actually, because she’d know, and come after me. I am just happy she’s out there, somewhere, using her powers as Queen of All Undeads to make the world a better place (for us, anyway).

Criminally Underrated Band That Didn’t Get Attention and Then Broke Up:
Joy Division has gotten gobs more attention AFTER the lead singer died and they became NEw Order then disbanded and reformed a few times than they ever did before.

Best Screw You I Am a Teenager in Pain Song:
any Marilyn Manson is good for that.

Song No One Would Expect You To Love:
“Inidan Love song” by Slim Whitman.

Album No One Would Expect You To Dislike:
i dunno. i seldom hear albums i dislike. i might hear individual songs I don’t like, and these deter me from encountering whole albums. perhaps the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy soundtrack – most of it is boring background-music stuff, nothing really listenable, except for a few songs that were not available on itunes as individual downloads.

Album No One Would Expect You To Really Know:
Inna Gadda Da Vida, by Iron Butterfly

Emo Album You Actually Like:
like Emo Philips, the comedian? I suppose E=Mo Squared, what with that being his ONLY album.

Good, But Overrated Cause Of Indie Revisionism:
i don’t go for revisionism. I go for counter-counter-countercounterdereformation and exo-antidisestablishmentarian neopostmisanthropic posthumanism.

my gibberish is BETTER gibberish. I win.

5 Desert Island Discs off the top of your head (30 sec clock):
1. I’ll just bring my ipod.
2 it already has 25 gigs of music, movies and games
3. and room for about 55 more.
4. i might like a big reflector disc though
5. for signalling for help and starting fires

3 Contemporary Artists That Were Your Faves 10 Years Ago:

shit… ummm…. if they were releasing albums ten years ago, wouldn’t that mean they’re not Contemporary Artists? You mean bands I liked ten years ago that are still releasing albums? um. damn. ten years ago I was listening to mopey 80s stuff from bands that already long-since disbanded, died, etc. exclusively. mostly Joy Division. so honestly i am not able to answer this question.

Music That Makes You Feel Sophisticated:
“What a silly question.” – petit muse. I concur.

Fave Electronic Record You Own:
since all my music is in a digital format, wouldn’t that make ALL of it electronic? or do you mean like techno/electroclash/electropop? if you mean electronic as a genre/style of music, probably something by Ladytron or Freezepop.

Hip-Hop Song You Know All the Lyrics Too:
I don’t know ALL the lyrics to any hip-hop songs.
