Hell only knows where these things start...
1. What are you listening to right now?
Republica - Drop Dead Gorgeous
2. What song makes you sad?
Camel - Ice
3. What is the most annoying song in the world?
Anything with Sean Paul on it.
4. Your all time favourite band?
The Axis of Perdition, possibly...
5. Your newly discovered band is?
DethKløk
6. Best female voice?
For a voice I surely cannot get enough of, it has to be wundermonkey
7. Best male voice?
Paul Draper, Mansun
8. Music type you find yourself listening to most?
I prefer not to fall into one genre for too long, but I do prefer dark songs most of all no matter of the style or instrumentation.
9. What do you listen to hype you up?
It doesn't take much to get me hyper nowadays to be honest, if I mentioned anything that did I'm sure someone would burn all copies of it momentarily.
10. What do you listen to when you want to calm down?
Delerium would be the first thing to come to mind if I needed to chill.
11. Last gig/concert you went to?
Anaal Nathrakh and The Axis of Perdition.
12. Band you find yourself listening to the most right now?
Again I try not to repeatedly abuse any particular band's back catalogue, right now, or at least recently I did have a fixation with In Flames... That's probably over by now though.
13. Most hated band?
Too many to list to be honest. It would have to be a band that there's nothing I like about them and I am constantly trying to avoid their invasion of my aural sphere of influence. Likely candidates include: Blink 182, McFly, and the Pussycat Trolls.
14. Song that makes you think?
Think what? Nietzsche and the Nihilists with their top 10 track 'Will to Power'... I've never listened to something and broken out in spontaneous thought, though in unjoying Maeror Tri, Troum, et al I do a lot of thinking.
15. Band that you think the world should love as much as you do?
Anything that 'the world' would love would mean that by default it has to be somewhat crap, to be watered down to extent that most people like it. Has to be total arse. I can however nominate many bands to which the world should and probably already hate.
16. Coolest music video?
Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
17. What happens if there is no question for number 17?
I will make up my own... The answer to this puzzling question is syrup. Seems there's quite a few holes in this enigmatic quiz...
18. What do you play/would you play in the bedroom to spice things up?
NIИ
19.What song makes you yearning/longing/something of that sort?
NIИ again, probably anything off the first or last album.
20. Ever been in a mosh pit?
Back in the day, I don't think highly of them - then again, who does?
21. Are you in a band?
I am a band. Many in fact...
22. *spooky*
Three spoons and a potato.
23. Ever dated a musician?
Not really.
24 through to 27. *spookier*
Marshall Amps and marshmallows
28. Do you wish yourself that you were a musician?
Sometimes... *snort*
29. Best chick band you know of?
Not many of those around, least of the sort I'd listen to.
30. Where's 30?
Good question, but I don't care.
31. Last song that you heard on the radio/cd...etc...?
Lily Allen - Smile.
32. What do you think of classical music?
This could get long. Assuming the question refers not to the Classical period but to anything not part of the 20th century, I enjoy a lot of it... Anything that requires an attention span and appreciation of muso theory and equally brain wronging things gets my plaudits. The Classical period has its charms but I prefer the Romantic period and then Baroque. Classical is just too ordered and simplistic for me personally.
33. What do you think of country music?
Terrible, simply terrible... Not a fan of any folk music really, but eugh... Nasty.
34. What do you think of Death Metal?
Has its good bands but you first have to wade through the murkiest sewer bile before finding them. Much like any music really in so much that most of the genre is abominable but what is there is generally quite good. Only really exists in its sub-genres now.
35. Last BIG band that you saw live?
NIИ
36. Are you a groupie?
No sir.
37. Do you listen to music in foreign languages?
Rammstein is an obvious one here, but there's a few more. Nothing too extensively though.
38. What famous musician would you invite to dinner?
Never meet your heroes. Indeed, never eat them either...
39. Worst concert moment?
Going deaf in one ear at a Cradle of Filth concert due to the near constant sibilant screeching of some harpy stood to the right of me. No it wasn't Dani, it was far worse, seriously, you couldn't NOT notice the strident harridan, and I lucked out and got stuck next to it.
40. Funny concert moment?
Can't remember the band but the drummer forgot the drum part and had to stop and start a new song.
41. Sad concert moment?
Don't really have one...
42. Best local act you can think of?
I can't... The local scene is for local people, there's nothing for me there.
43. If you were a musical instrument what would you be?
A trombone...
44. Do you listen to the radio?
Never really have, quality is just shite, never has appealed to me.
45. Do you watch music TV?
If I really have to, only to remind myself of how dire the industry is. Might catch one good song every 30-60 minutes, even 120 minutes has become unwatchable lately...
46. Do you follow the music charts, like the top 40?
Is there still one? Does anybody follow it? It must be past its usefulness by now...
47. Have you met any famous musicians?
Not many, the only real in depth 'meeting' was with composer David Arnold... *blink* Sheesh, did soundtracks for Stargate, Independence Day, and the theme for Little Britain among other things.
48. Are any of your friends/family/etc. musicians?
Not really in the family but for a bit of sax etc, I have a fair few friends in bands though.
49. Song that best describes your feelings right now?
Depeche Mode - Strangelove or maybe Master and Servant... *wink*
50. Song that describes your life?
This is one of those questions, which is not even remotely answerable; there is no song that exists which even comes close for my life so far let alone all of it. I'll write one, and it'll probably have something about black holes in the title.
51. Do you know the names of all the band members that you listen to?
About fifty percent of the bands I probably do. That is bands I really rate anyway, not just casual listening fodder.
52. Does a musician’s physical attractiveness play a role in the music?
Not in the slightest.
53. What musician do you want to marry?
Irrelevance, I will teach her anything she desires, provided I know the instrument myself.
54. Favourite movie sound track?
Dune probably... Or Tetsuo.
55. OH NO - IT'S DISAPPEARED!
Shame...
56. What do your parents listen to?
My Mum will listen to anything, my Dad 70s Prog type stuff and Guitar Rock sort of things, I listen to it too so works for me, I have a even bigger CD archive to choose from.
57. What are you listening to right NOW?
David Bowie - Space Oddity
58. Do you wear band etc T-shirts?
You have a problem with that fella?
59. What do you think of people who do?
I think they are probably the greatest people alive, except for bands I hate. I know to steer clear of them.
60. Whoever heard of a 59-question survey? Was it really that hard to think of one more and make it a round number?
Apparently...
