Listening to the Imperial March in headphones, while going about your daily routine, has got to cast the world in a peculiar light. You probably want to do the "force throat crush" number on the dry cleaner who messed up your pants.<BR/><BR/>Liz, Bailamos is a pretty cool song, no shame there. The Anastasia sounstrack, though... You get mad points for multiculturalism.<BR/><BR/>All in all, I have really, REALLY eclectic friends. That's pretty cool.Frank Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620411350067407654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675045007469030620.post-85028490953121670322008-02-12T15:10:00.000-08:002008-02-12T15:10:00.000-08:00I'm the sorta person that will say "I like lots of...I'm the sorta person that will say "I like lots of different stuff" but will then bore your head off trying to list all the varied genres I listen to : D However, my "top most played" list is dominated by Depeche Mode, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and John Williams.<BR/><BR/>My random list:<BR/>1. "La Dix Croix" by Moi dix Mois (Japanese Goth rock)<BR/>2. "I'm your Villain" Franz Ferdinand<BR/>3. "Life is a Road" from the Anastasia soundtrack (I'm actually kinda embarrased about that)<BR/>4. "Change Your Mind" Better that Ezra<BR/>5. "My Name is Jonas" Weezer<BR/>6. "I Hear a Symphony" the Supremes<BR/>7. "Bailamos" Enrique Iglesias (ok, that one's kinda embarrasing too...)<BR/>8. "Phantom of the Opera" <BR/>9. "At My Door" Black Rebel Motorcycle Club<BR/>10. "Greensleeves" Loreena McKennitt<BR/><BR/>Like Rebecca's comment, none of my classical or world came up. This is kinda funny, 'cause when I do those email/blog surveys where you ask a question and are supposed to insert a random title as the answer, I always get either something like "Sonatta in G Minor" or some celtic thing that I don't know what it means.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675045007469030620.post-91672823428297292132008-02-11T13:54:00.000-08:002008-02-11T13:54:00.000-08:00O.K.
