MP3 QUIZ
A): Step 1: Open your MP3 player.
Step 2: Put all of your music on random.
Step 3: Write down the first 20 songs it plays, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 4: Add what each song makes you think of after you type the list of songs.
1: Circle Takes The Square - Kill The Switch
It makes me feel like I am standing on a hillside in a storm at night, tangle up in wind and rain and the infinite sky, the booming hillside, the threat of beautiful nature.
2.Iron And Wine - Each Coming Night
It makes me think of sitting in a garden in Cumbria eating cream teas. Don't know why though.
3. Bright Eyes - Let's Not Shit Ourselves (To Love And Be Loved)
It was a Saturday night we got together, stumbling, shambolic, drug fucked and filled with lust. The sex should have been rubbish but the connection in our souls made it right.
4. A - Bad Idea
It's Reading 98. The sun is shining. I'm stoned out of my box and wandering through Reading town centre in a sarong with a tape player rocking this tune with some friends. People avoid us.
5.Pharoah Monche - No Mercy
Hands in the air kids.
6. Mansun - Grey Lantern
Hundreds of five pound notes flutter and twist in the air over Liverpool Street concourse. The clones briefly throw off the shackles of civilisation to crawl on their hands and knees in the hope of grabbing enough to make it worth their while being late for work.
7.The String Quartet - Sober
Sundays are for lovers.
8. Yann Tiersen - La Dispute
Amelie makes me happysad.
9. Billy Bragg - Never Had No One Ever
It's very different to the Smiths. But somehow it works.#
10. Magazine - Shot By Both Sides
Sometimes when I DJ I like to play old slightly obscure new wave tracks and flid out. This is one of them,
11. The Pixies - Bone Machine
It's 2004. I'm hopelessly in love with someone who doesn't love me back, and living with a woman who does love me. I hate myself. The Pixies play. I see them two nights in a row. That's two nights the hurt stops.
12. Hole - Malibu
I wish I'd run away that time it all went wrong. But if i had, would i be here now.
13. The Living End - Dirty Man
Singing together for the sheer joy of it.
14. unknown artist - Hate To Smack My Bitch Up (The Hives & The Prodigy)
I went out with a girl who I met in the same club that the Smack My Bitch Up video was filmed in. We thought of it as Our Video. Our life was dispointingly vanilla.
15. Augustus Pablo - Let's Get Together
Summer sunshine, festivals, cider, roots, pretty girls, bobbing up and down to the dub sound bass, can life be any better?
16. Fischerspooner - Just Let Go
Dancing in the bar at Soma, trying to get the cute bar girls to see me like that as I drink another pint of cider. Later we'll snort lines of coke up in the office and feel like we're invincible, like we're real grown ups who know everything and ahve made it through. But we're not.
17.Godspeed! You Black Emperor - Storm
The day i discovered the healing power of post-rock was the day my life got infinitely better.
18. Bob Dylan - Blowin' In The Wind
Second semester at uni, 1998. Lived in a room that was, as usual for me, basically a junk head. Smoked a lit of skunk. Listened to a lot of Dylan, as it was the most chilled stuff I owned, being mostly into punk and metal back then.
19. Hard-Fi - Feltham Is Singing Out
I've never heard this before. It sounds like the sort of indie rock you only listen to in your teens. I think i'll be deleting this album soon.
