50 Artists, 50 Questions.

Nov 20 2009, 16h03 por anydaynow

1.How did you get into 29? (Air)
I guess it was when Sexy Boy & Kelly Watch the Stars got a lot of airplay on MTV in the late 90's.

2. What's the first song you ever heard by 22? (The Radio Dept.)
Not entirely sure, but I vaguely remember seeing them live on a festival in Sweden in 2004, which is probably when I heard their music for the first time. (Mind you, it was at a boozy music festival after all, so it's all a bit of a blur really...)

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (José González)
Maybe these ones from Broken Arrow:
"Summerlove left this town
It was too cold to bathe and the leaves turned brown
The sun went down
And with it the love we found
That's the way things are sometimes
Most of the time"

4. How did you get into 49? (Björk)
Well, seeing that I'm Scandinavian she was a pretty big deal there with her debut album (called Debut). The first track I heard was Human Behaviour, but I didn't start listening to her stuff properly until the late 90's.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (MF DOOM)
Two (Operation Doomsday & MM Food).

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (M83)
Graveyard Girl.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (RJD2)
Not that I can think of, or maybe One Day.

8. What is your favorite song by 15? (El-P)
Tasmanian Pain Coaster is pure genius.

9. What is your favorite song by 5? (Sage Francis)
Sea Lion.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (Alias)
Not really, I wouldn't exactly say Alias is famous for his feelgood-tracks. Maybe Dr.C by Alias & Tarsier.

11. What is the worst song by 40? (Coldplay)
Violet Hill no doubt. Can't stand it. I never understood how it could be released as a first album single.

12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Sia)
Breathe Me, followed by Death By Chocolate.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Sole)
I remember being on a road trip with my brother and he'd brought 'Selling Live Water' which had recently been released. I had never heard of Sole, but I loved what I heard.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? (CunninLynguists)
It's a tie between Seasons (Remix) and Don't Leave (When Winter Comes). The beat for the remix of seasons is amazing and fits the lyrcs perfectly.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (Murs)
The Night Before is nice. Bad Man! is a good party tune.

16. Is there a song by 25 that makes you sad? (Feist)
Yep. Let It Die, The Park & How My Heart Behaves. To name a few.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Jean Grae)
Love Song.

18. What's your favorite lyric by 11? (Bat for Lashes)
From Good Love:
"In the night time we are found
Misty sorrow swoop unbound
Whisper you mean it, say you'll stay
Hold my heart till brighter days"

19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (Aesop Rock)
Ian Matthias Bavitz (aka Aesop Rock). Tricky one that.

20. Is there a song by 14 that makes you happy? (WHY?)
Gemini (Birthday Song) and A Sky For Shoeing Horses Under both put a smile on my face.

21. What is a good memory involving 27? (Burial)
I listened a lot to Burial when I initially moved to London, so maybe that.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Regina Spektor)
Samson was the first song I heard by her, and I absolutely loved it. Still find it amazing. But she's done so many incredible tracks, other favourites are Ode To Divorce and Somedays.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Radiohead)
Creep, back in the day. Not really feeling their recent stuff.

24. What is your favourite album by 18? (The Clash)
London Calling - one of the greatest albums ever made imo.

25. What is your favorite song by 21? (Madvillain)
Accordion.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (Masta Ace)
Beautiful.

27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Death Cab for Cutie)
Plans. Even quality throughout, not one bad song on the entire album.

28. What is you favorite song by 2? (Sigur Rós)
Probably Með suð í eyrum or Saeglopur. A lot of good songs to choose from though.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Boards of Canada)
Music Is Math was featured in a Swedish movie, and that's what made me start listening to them.

30. What is you favorite song by 8? (The Album Leaf)
We Need Help.

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? (Bon Iver)
None, but I'd love to. Hopefully within the next year.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Lykke Li)
Everybody But Me (Christoffer Remix). The lyrics are depressing as anything, but it's still that instant party anthem.

33. How did you get into 12? (Madlib)
Through Jaylib's Champion Sound.

34. What is the worst song by 45? (Buck 65)
Kennedy Killed the Hat (which a lot of people seem to love)

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (Groove Armada)
My friend, yet again on MTV back in High School. I still remember the video.

36. What was the first song you ever heard by 48? (Koushik)
Lying in the Sun.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live? (One Be Lo)
None.

New Slang & Sea Legs.

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (Cat Power)
The Greatest

40. What is you favorite album by 7? (J Dilla)
Donuts! A classic.

Goodbye. Great beat.

42. What is your favorite album by 41? (Zero 7)
Simple Things.

43. What is your favorite song by 24? (Azure Ray)
Rise. (In fact the song with the most plays in my entire library.)

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? (Dosh)
I listened a lot to Wolves and Wishes when I went to Tokyo last year, and listening to that album still reminds me of the good times I spent there.

45. What is your favorite song by 35? (DJ Shadow)
Stem/Long Stem, hands down. Amazing track.

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? (The Streets)
I guess the easy answer here would be to mention any song off Everything Is Borrowed. But I'm not really a big fan of Mike Skinner going all happy-go-lucky, so I'd have to say Fit But You Know It and Don't Mug Yourself.

47. What is your favorite album by 4? (Atmosphere)
Lucy Ford, followed by God Loves Ugly.

48. Who is your favorite member of 37? (Bloc Party)
Don't have one.

The Funeral. Still reckon it's one of their best songs.

You Got Me. High school memories right there.

Which song best describes your family in general?: Cake - Love You Madly
I don't want to hold back. I don't want to slip down. I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I should have done. I don't want to doubt you, know everything about you. I don't want to sit across the table from you wishing I could run.
Which song best describes your friends?: Andrew Bird - Imitosis
Which song best describes your school?: Rilo Kiley - Close Call
She was born on a brightened pew to a gypsy mother in a bucket of tears. Her good looks could have sailed a ship, but her will alone could have sunk it. Funny thing about money for sex: you might get rich, but you'll die by it. It's gonna be a close call.
Which song best describes your public personality?: Jack Off Jill - Nazi Halo
Bring your IQ and try to understand. Just 'cause I'm listening don't mean we're still friends. Can't fix my problem: you've crossed a thin line. You can't just work it out. Not with me, this time. You go solo: your faggot rainbow, your junkie ego, your tragic disco, your Nazi halo won't save you this time. You're so predictable. No shadow of doubt. When you are suffering, know who sold you out. Fuck your opinions. Fuck your lack of spine. When you are miserable, know that I'm just fine.
Which song best describes your private personality?: A Perfect Circle - Passive
Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic, I catch a brief reflection: what you could and might have been. It's your right and your ability to become my perfect enemy. Wake up and face me. Don't play dead, 'cause maybe, some day, I will walk away and say, "You disappoint me. Maybe you're better off this way." Why can't you turn and face me?

We got in your car, and we hit the highway. Eastern sun was rising over the mountains, yellow and blood red beams, like a kaleidoscope. And flaming swords may guard the garden of Eden, but we consulted maps from earlier days, dead languages on our tongues, holding on to our last hope. And the day was bright and fine, and the highway sign said, "San Bernardino welcomes you."
What is the best thing about me?: Gregory and the Hawk - Isabelle
And the ground's already hard where it's been dug in. I've gone this way too many times, but the pick keeps going deeper and I'm not turning back, so Isabelle, try to understand. I know just what to say, but it's incorrect to say it. How do I break it to him, the death of one who's staying? And all I think of now is a way to get under and a way to get out.

If only I'd held on tighter to her pale white skin that twisted and withered away from me. Watch me lose her. It's almost like losing myself. Give her my soul and let them take somebody else. Get away from me. Watch me fault her: you're living like a disaster. She said, "Kill me faster, with strawberry gashes all over, all over me."
Will I have a happy life?: Wilco - Side With the Seeds
What do my friends really think of me?: Placebo - Slackerbitch
Your memory will fade. I didn't mean it. You've always had it made. I didn't mean it. I know you feel betrayed. I just wanted to get laid. I didn't mean it. Slackerbitch, fag-hag whore, looks real cute for lips so sore. Always knocking on my door. You come across impure. I didn't mean it. Goddamn immature: I didn't mean it. You act so insecure.

Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at. Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at. But now we'll never know. I won't be sad, but in case I'll go there every day to make myself feel bad. There's a chance I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do.

My top 10 female vocalists

Out 17 2009, 19h45 por GraceTemptation
- covers more or less all of my favourite vocalists from both the "sides" of music I like
- I KNOW that I might have not so many plays of e.g. Gjallarhorn, but it has nothing to do with admiring their vocalist
- the simple answer to "Why this and that isn't here?" is that I did NOT consider it necessary = I don't admire her that much though I maybe have many plays of her / her band's music, cause again this is NOT about that
- of course, they are many more I like but I said this will be a top 10 and so it is
- please keep your pointless comments for yourself - I erase crap like "too long, didn't read", I DO NOT write SHORT journals!
One side of my musical taste:

Kelly Clarkson

(Too big for the journal but totally kicks ass!)

Why?
I think she's cool (and also quite mad, see e.g. in the I Do Not Hook Up video here) and nice (especially with dark hair, don't know why).
Of course I like her voice, too. She sounds very good "live" and her voice is kinda powerful in a way I absolutely love.

Since when?
Well, I used to like Kelly's Breakaway when I was younger. I've been addicted to her since about this June when I found out about her new album.

Favourities
- See here for my most played tracks - writing them again is a bit useless when we are on last.fm.
- If I wanted to name some that are "worth recommendation", it would probably be: Miss Independent, Never Again, Don't Let Me Stop You, Can We Go Back and something slower like Because Of You.
- The best albums are surely All I Ever Wanted and Breakaway. I'm not that much into My December for unknown reason (but it has a very beautiful artwork xD ).
- The best video, Miss Independent (though in the end, I Do Not Hook Up is also pretty good...): watch here, cause guess what - YT video disabled again :S
Inara George also of The Bird and the Bee

(I agree that she’s no big beauty, but who cares, she sings perfectly :P)

Why?
She cannot reach high notes (as many others my favourite singers), I just love her cause her voice is kinda sweet and nice and perfectly fits with the songs by The Bird and the Bee... (By the way, SHE is supposed to be the Bird and I agree, she really is.)

Since when?
Since hearing Again & Again on one of Grey's Anatomy's soundtracks. I knew Fools In Love but I didn't like it that much.

Favourities
- BB's plays here (very lame, I've already been obsessed with them last summer), Inara's solo here but there's nothing to see xD
- What would I recommend? Well, most of the songs by The Bird and the Bee, they are perfect, but still: Love Letter To Japan, My Love, The Races, Fucking Boyfriend or Genius...
- From all the CDs and EPs, I guess the album Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future and EP Please Clap Your Hands
- The best video is surely Love Letter To Japan, the others are a bit weird
Ingrid Michaelson

(This photo always makes me smile, really. It’s quite Ingrid-like I’d say...)

Why?
Euh... Cause she's gorgeous and absolutely adorable. (See the water melon pic above, you can't deny it!) Her lyrics sometimes reminds me of something childish and sweet, for exemple check this particular one that proves it quite well: >Overboard

Since when?
This time, last.fm remembers almost all my listening history. I met Ingrid for the very first time on Grey's Anatomy again. In some episode I heard Breakable. Then I quite liked The Way I Am but after listening to her album Boys and Girls, I didn't find anything really special about her and that was one of my biggest mistakes I managed to fix :P This spring/summer, I decided - god knows why - to giver her a second chance. I think it was because I fell in love with Breakable again... I will never leave her :P

Favourities
- Ingrid, one of my top artists here, the list just misses about 100 plays of Breakable from Fall 2007 :P
- My heart's beating really fast when I'm recommending something like Ingrid, really xD But if you know what's good for you, listen to Breakable, Die Alone, Overboard, You and I... and if you are depressed and stressed all day long like me, Maybe might save your ass as well as it has saved mine about five times...
- As I don't have very much time to listen to everything I'd like, it happens that I've heard her new album only once, but I'm sure it's pretty good, so Everybody and aslo Girls and Boys cause it's amazingly dear to my heart :P
- If you wanna die happy, watch
Maria Taylor, ex-Azure Ray

(Something is exotic and scary about her face. She reminds me of a witch, I don’t know why...)

Why?
Her voice has a strange power to carry you someplace far in a Dreamland :P - No, I'm not drunk. I just think that the melodies and harmonies in her music are like from another world. She sounds very "typical" and her songs are really nothing for everyday's life... (Though some of them are pretty obsessive...)

Since when?
Since Grey's Anatomy again, to be precise the first soundtrack. The song Song Beneath The Song was there and it sounded quite nice and I didn't have many things to listen to, so I tried Maria. She one of the first artists in my library.

Favourities
- I think she will always be around the top then aritist...click
- Now I might sound quite strange, because both the songs I wanna recommend you on the first place are the first on their albums; Leap Year, because that's a totally EPIC song and A Good Start, because it's simply awesome!
- The best album is Lynn Teeter Flower, imo 11:11 is... well, strange.
- I don't know any other vids than A Good Start, but I like it...
Jenny Wilhelms of Gjallarhorn

(I love her hair :P)

Why?
I admire her for singing in various Scandinavian languages because that is very often something written, something else heard! xD I love her high notes - she sounds like a pixie or something xD

Since when?
Since seeing something about Finnish (or better Scandinavian) folk music. The first band I heard was Gjallarhorn (which is kinda difficult to spell right xD ).

Favourities
- Very lame plays due to well-know reason of being obsessed with them centuries ago, here
- I think Sjofn is full of songs worth recommendation: Hjaðningarima, Suvetar and what really shows the pixie-thing about Jenny: Dejelill och Lagerman. Also I adore Kokkovirsi.
- To everybody that likes or seems to like folk, I would recommend Sjofn. It was with me during last winter and it was really beautiful - listening to it and walking in snow... Really, try it, it's wonderful! xD
- In my very quick search, I didn't find any clips, but it seems like they exist, so if I search more someday, I might add later.
The dark side of the force xD :

Floor Jansen of After Forever, R.I.P.

(I really wonder how tall she is, because she’s always taller than anybody else xD )

Why?
Simply because her voice is in a word MAGNIFICENT! :P Sometimes I think her lungs are as big as this planet and her throat is made of gold, but back to Earth... This is a woman with THE VOICE that I respect and listen to with my mouth open.

Since when?
That is hard to say. I think I know them since I know Within Temptation, because I listened to Beyond Me because it was with Sharon. I tried to listen to some of their stuff, but I probably didn’t find the right things, because I didn’t like it at all. The album After Forever opened my... EARS! but that’s also quite long ago...

Favourities
(This might be very long...)
- Quite nice (now) 130 plays here. It says pretty much about the stuff I like :P
- If you asked me to recommend one song, I’d say Emphasis because in a way, you’ve never heard something like that before :P Musical and singing masterpiece! Speaking about singing masterpieces - Face Your Deamons and Strong that is an unbelievably beautiful song – real pleasure to sing it.
- Now the funny thing. I’ll be telling you which album is the best... Hehe, no offense, but - can I decide this?! Prison of Desire, Remagine, After Forever - as you can see yourselves, it’s no recommending, it’s a list of their albums! The only thing I haven’t understood is Invisible Circles because even when I try really hard, the songs just doesn’t have sense! (By that, I mean that I barely recognize chorus from verse!) It’s a bit "difficult“ album for my ears.
- Though I haven’t seen all the vids by AF (yeah, I’m already ashamed, don’t worry!), I like
Lacey Mosley of Flyleaf

(Nice girl, don't tell me she's not...)

Why?
I can only say: What a VOICE! The falsetto-things she's able to do made me love her on the first listen. Also songs by Flyleaf are terribly addictive. Don't know if they are so catchy or it's Lacey's voice's fault xD

Since when?
I think it was some vide on youtube with somebody's favourite bands and as I said - love on the first listen :P When I played the whole album, I was blown away.

Favourities
- Flyleaf plays prepared to grow with the new album here
- As I said, most of the songs are catchy, so I tend to love them all :P But try Again. Then I can only say: Try ANYTHING else! It doesn't even take so much time as their songs are very short and also they aren't so much (yet!!!! <3 )
- As they have only one album released, Flyleaf, I can only expect Memento Mori to be at least as good as this :P
- Oh videos... Many videos they have. Almost for every song or what xD But Again is very nice:
Helena Iren Michaelsen of Imperia and Angel, ex-Trail of Tears

(You would say that this can be anyone, that’s why I chose it, cause, unfortunately, Helena always looks like a bitch. Well, sorry for that, but check the pics here and you will see :S )

Why?
Though I have quite strange opinion about HER, I have a very positive opinion about her voice (though sometimes, I think she sings everything how it - strangely - comes on her mind, but it's just her style I guess). It's something like Floor: very powerful, very BIG voice I can only silently admire.

Since when?
Thanks to last.fm, I met Imperia about 200 years ago and I didn't like it at all. It took very long time till the moment I re-discovered their first album.I've got issues with the second one, because songs like The Calling kinda scared me! xD Helena was too much "opera-like" for me that time, I couldn't really bear it, but now I consider her to be one of the biggest voices.

Favourities
- I expect some new album by Imperia here. I don't listen to anything else with Helena. I've tried the first album by Angel but I - kinda didn't like it.
- To name real masterpieces of Helena's singing, I cannot forget The Calling, because it's a song like nothing else before. Also The Lotus Eaters. I didn't believe it is possible to sing THIS, but it really is xD
- People say that Queen of Light is 100% better. I must confess, I don't really know. Imo, both the albums are "worth listening".
- Exspecially because of this, I searched for some videos. I've never done it, because I don't like Helena (I know, very childish...). I found only two of them. You can search yourself, my opinion is that you don't miss anything when you won't see them...
Anette Olzon of Nightwish, ex-Alyson Avenue

(One of the very few Anette's outfit I ACTUALLY DO LIKE...)

Why?
To be honest, I don't know! There's something about her voice (in Czech we call it "colour" - don't know if this has any sense in English though...) - that can be heard in both AA and NW - that I really adore. Therefore I'm allergic to the crap people say about her because I don't get it. IMO Anette is a very nice person, she smiles on the stage and so on, but I totally dislike the way she dresses on concerts. OK, not always, but mostly yes. I was very pleased with her outfit on Masters of Rock where I saw Nightwish for the very first time, you can find one of the photos here, it used to be very high-rated pic on NW last.fm page, but I haven't found it on the first five pages so I gave up and found it elsewhere :)

Since when?
I guess since I heard Amaranth, my very first song by Nightwish. I'd never heard about Alyson Avenue before, of course. By the way, I've liked her since the Amaranth video. And - as I am a girl - I say Anette's pretty :P

Favourities
- Dark Passion Play plays (that's quite odd, isn't it? xD ) here but it's pretty lame as I was listening to all the songs thousand times before coming on last.fm. Alyson Avenue plays here but they are a bit lame, too, for the same reason as above.
- Stuff worth recommendation by Alyson Avenue might be When Dreams Fall Apart and Every Now and Then. I don't know the others so good to say this particular one is better than the others. (They also sound quite all-the-same, imo AA is nothing really original...). By Nightwish it would be a little cliché, but still The Poet and the Pendulum (which is a total - both singing and composing - masterpiece, though I would ban Anette to pronounce "choose" like "shoes" next time xD ), Cadence of Her Last Breath and check out also f****** good song (unfotunately very f***** record) of The Heart Asks Pleasure First e.g. here
- The best album with Anette is surely Dark Passion Play as Alyson Avenue cannot be compared to Nightwish. But the better album by them would be the newer called Omega as it has a way better sound.
- About the video thing, I think Amaranth is just fine:
Tarja Turunen ex-Nightwish

(Nothing really original, sorry, but I totally love this photo! She has just GORGEOUS eyes, though some people feel unworthy to even look at her...)

Why?
Cause Nightwish is my favourite band and somehow Tarja just came with it. Don't get it wrong, I DO like her but - it's just so long ago that she's more like a part of my live... On the album, she sounds very good, but I have some problems with her live performance, because the language she sings in I call Finglish.

Since when?
Since hearing Nemo or something.

Favourities
- To be honest, I haven't heard the whole My Winter Storm yet. It sounds funny, but I really haven't. You can see my (lame) 10 plays: here and my 500 of NW here.
- Masterpieces of Tarja's singing, imo: The Pharaoh Sails to Orion, Creek Mary's Blood, The Siren and Die Alive, Lost Northern Star
- Best album with Tarja is imo Once - period.
- ... BUT for the best clip I'd vote for Die Alive
