Day 17. A song/artist you were sure you'd hate but wound up lovingWhen you've worked retail as long as I have, you tend to generally deal with the batshit crazy fans of any sort of fandom that may come near your specialty store. Considering that I've always worked with some sort of print media, books, magazines, etc - I've seen a lot of shit from ( Read more... )

Day 16. An album/artist you were looking forward to and were really disappointed byI usually test out albums online before I buy them, usually listening to samples on sites to see if I like the sound before I shell out the money for it - but I had been looking forward to Tarja's album when I heard that she had broken away/kicked out of Nightwish, ( Read more... )

Day 15. A song/artist that matches in your mind with a completely unrelated memory or activity

This one was a bit hard to try and figure out, but I'd have to go with Rammstein for this one.

This song always makes me think of walking under fireworks. I think it's the tempo and when the bursts of sound pop up, but I always think of fireworks when I ( Read more... )

Day 14. A song/artist that reminds you of someoneI'm a very visual person and I usually use music for character identification in my writing and everything - but to really answer the question, I would have to go with Pearl Jam. My friend Emily was always the sort of indie music protester sort when we were growing up and every time I hear any Pearl ( Read more... )

Since people give me shit for listening to it once and awhile. Looking them up online ( Read more... )

Day 12. A song/artist no one would expect you to enjoyI had to think about this for a bit since I'm one of those people that likes to share music no matter what with people. |Da ( Read more... )

Day 11. A song/artist that you used to like, but now dislike...huh, this took some thought because I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to music, but I guess if anything, I would have to go with a general 'dislike' of Matchbox 20 ( Read more... )

Day 10. A song/artist that you used to dislike, but now like

I had to think about this one but... I would have to go with Mika.

The music industry was shitting themselves over Grace Kelly and it was...so overplayed everywhere that I just couldn't even give it a shot. I don't know how long I actually ignored the singer because I couldn't stand the ( Read more... )

Day 9. A song/artist you wish more people knew about

Easy.

Robert Miles.

He had one or two hits in the States in like...early nineties or something, but his music was really fucking hard to find as he's an Italian DJ/pianist who is bigger over in Europe I believe. People will probably recognize his songs Children and One and One that were ( Read more... )
