Jovian Comets
I love procrastinating. So that others can join me in my time-wasting today, via Soho the Dog, a wonderful little meme/questionnaire.
The Rules:
1. Put your iTunes/ music player on Shuffle
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT
1. If someone says ‘Is this OK?’ you say?
Distilled (Blonde Redhead)
Like vodka, baby.
2. What would best describe your personality?
Honky-Tonk Interlude from Rodeo (Copland – Morton Gould and his Orchestra)
And may it be a long a fruitful interlude.
3. What do you like in a guy?
Just a Thought (Gnarls Barkley)
But not too many more – leave the thinking to us girls.
4. How do you feel today?
X & Y (Coldplay)
Maybe tomorrow will be an A& B day
5. What is your life’s purpose?
What You Waiting For? (Gwen Stefani)
I think the point is not to wait at all
6. What is your motto?
Artist’s Life (Strauss - Welser-Most/LSO)
More praxis than motto, but sure
7. What do your friends think of you?
Une Annee Sans Lumiere (The Arcade Fire)
God, I hope not…
8. What do you think of your parents?
I am the highway (Audioslave)
But you are the Autobahn
9. What do you think about very often?
Hedwig’s Theme from "Harry Potter" (Williams)
I don’t know how to explain this one. Except to say I do a fair amount of Pops conducting. Which inevitably involves something by John Willliams.
10. What does 2+2=?
Bogoroditse Devo from All-Night Vigil Op. 37 (Rachmaninov – St. Petersburg Chamber Choir)
I miss those simpler days when my biggest concern was math homework, which used to keep me up all night.
11. What do you think of your best friend?
Bedshaped (Keane)
But not pillow-topped
12. What do you think of the person you like?
Show me forgiveness (Bjork)
And he does, on a daily basis
13. What is your life story?
“Wenn ich in deine Augen seh’” from Dichterliebe, op. 48 (Schumann - Wunderlich/Giesen)
“Doch wenn du sprichst: Ich liebe dich!/ So muss ich weinen bitterlich.”
14. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Cold Water (Tom Waits)
Am I not pushing myself hard enough? Should I be aiming for ice??
15. What do you think when you see the person you like?
Red Cape Tango from Metropolis Symphony (Daugherty – Zinman/BSO)
And nothing is sexier than a tango
16. What do your parents think of you?
Why me, Lord? (Johnny Cash)
Because you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family
17. What will you dance to at your wedding?
Milkshake (Kelis)
It’ll bring all the boys to the yard; I can teach you, but I’d have to charge
18. What will they play at your funeral?
Pomp and Circumstance No. 1 (Elgar – Boult/LPO)
Fitting for a “graduation” from worldly matters
19. What is your hobby/interest?
I’m the drunk and you’re the star (New Buffalo)
See question #1.
20. What is your biggest secret?
Pieces of Me (Ashlee Simpson)
Uh…that I have Ashlee Simpson on my iPod?
21. What do you think of your friends?
Love unlimited (Fun Lovin’ Criminals)
And how they deserve it!
