music's all around

so leanne posted some interesting music picks on her blog, so i thought i'd follow suit, with some of her categories and some of my own. bask in my odd choices in music.

songs i like to put on repeat: "me of me" from shock treatment, "brian cincinnati" by cat scientist, "big exit" and "man-size sextet" by p.j. harvey, "antique high heel red doll shoes" by rasputina

great depressing songs: "pain by numbers" by the meat purveyors, "maybe an angel" by heather nova, "when i die" by lush, "ugly" by juliana hatfield, "anymore" by that dog, the carpenters version of "ticket to ride", "it's not" and "how am i different" by aimee mann, "asleep" by the smiths

most educational songs ever: "the donner party" by rasputina, "istanbul (not constantinople)" by they might be giants

best upbeat depressing song: "everybody loves me but you" by juliana hatfield

song i don't listen to often enough and i really should: "lover, you should've come over" by jeff buckley

best song to quote that will leave people baffled: anything from phantom of the paradise, the apple, or shock treatment

song i thought would lead me to my soulmate: "i get weak" by belinda carlisle

song that made me wish the fictional product the song is about actually existed: "coin-operated boy" by the dresden dolls

song to really want to do at karaoke until you realize that, once you're up there, and once the song's started, that there's a huge instrumental break where you get to stand up there like a spaz: "barracuda" by heart

best morrissey song where the title is actually sung in the song: "last of the famous international playboys"

songs i wish i could find and do at karaoke: "stuck in my car" by the go-go's, "universal heart beat" by juliana hatfield, "he hit me (and it felt like a kiss)" by hole (i think it's a cover), "bit part" by the lemonheads, "help me mary" by liz phair, "the homecoming queen's got a gun" by julie brown

songs that make you wanna dance: "titties bounce" and "gutter butter" by gravy train!!!!, "precipice" and "elf" by cat scientist, "peek-a-boo" by siouxsie and the banshees

song that should be the basis of a musical: "songs for a future generation" by the b-52's. come on, the ruler of the galaxy, the king of the sulus, the president of moscow, the empress of fashion, the daughter of dracula, lots of procreation; it writes itself, really.

songs i like to belt out in the car: "going through the motions" from once more with feeling, "wasted" by black flag, "motel room in my bed" by x, "shakespeare's sister" by the smiths, "the homecoming queen's got a gun" and "cause i'm a blonde" by julie brown

best upbeat song about cum-eating: "h.w.c." by liz phair

best song to make you writhe on the floor: "burning up" by madonna

albums i never get tired of listening to: that dog, totally crushed out, retreat from the sun, by that dog; pinkerton by weezer, shock treatment soundtrack, lost in space and bachelor no. 2 by aimee mann, bona drag by morrissey
