2023-12-08 22:56I see everyone doing
thefridayfive today but since I don't have an opinion on any of the questions or celebrate either of the holidays mentioned, I went digging for an older set of questions that might be more fun for me.
1. What song do you live for at the moment?
I'm really loving "Big Boy" and "Punk Rock Loser" by Viagra Boys (again) and "you used to love jazz" by j'san.
2. Is there a band or artist that you attach to a particular memory? What memory is it?
I have a lot of band-memory pairings, but the most prominent is Smashing Pumpkins (specifically "Ava Adore," "Tear," and "Pug" off Adore) and staying up most of the night on a school night in thenth grade because I didn't want to sleep, I wanted to draw Dark from screenshots of D.N.Angel. I did this for a couple weeks straight, like a crazy person. (My best friend stopped being friends with me for a while after this because she was mad that I suddenly get really good at drawing in anime style bc until then, anime style had been her thing, and I usually drew more realistically. LOL (It's fine, we made up and still occasionally catch up.))
3. What's the most beautiful song lyric you've ever heard?
Mmmm... that's really hard to say. Depends on the definition of beauty, and there's still too many contestants that way, but I guess the thing that comes to mind is this Russian 90s pop song titled "Artist Who Paints Rain" that I translated here.
4. If you could choose any band/artist to cover any song, which combination would you pick?
OKAY OKAY this is the question that jumped out at me and made me choose this set because I was walking in the woods this afternoon and thinking, "Man, I really wish one of those lofi R&B/triphop artists would put music to Tolkien songs, that shit would absolutely keep me entertained for years." God, I'd killlllll for that give me!!
5. What's the best concert you've ever attended?
Ummmm... maybe Depeche Mode? Maybe Muse. Maybe Emilie Autumn. Maybe Rammstein. One of those.

Date: 2023-12-16 21:33 (UTC)I hadn't heard that one before (or at least not consciously) and listening to it I was like, those are some very sophisticated lyrics and unusual rhyme scheme for a pop song! Not surprised the author of the lyrics is an actual poet, because that's what it felt like.
