Once again stealing from apple_pathways, who puts up fun memes which I promptly steal, lol. But I love music and I love talking about music, so any excuse to go on and on about something I like without having to see my audience's eyes glaze over. :)

What song was #1 in the charts in your country when you were born?
According to the first result I got when I

Oh, man! See, I knew basking in awesome with you was gonna be fun! I'll try to be coherent, but I have a lot of random thoughts I want to share:

Wolf Parade! Yay! You're the first other person I've met who is into them, and I HAVE to get their albums...do you own any? And particular one(s) you would recommend?

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is a band I'm aware of, and I know I've liked their songs, but I must know more. I'm putting them on my list of albums to track down.

I am also crazy into Halloween: I have a mix CD I made a couple years ago that we always play for the Trick of Treaters. When it gets closer to the holiday, we're going to have to compare Halloween tracks!

My introduction to Peaches was actually through that YouTube video! I love it. :)

Yeah, Gary Jules's original music is...forgettable. In college (the first time around, that is) I had a friend who was obsessed with Donny Darko, and he bought Gary Jules's album off the strength of Mad World. Very disappointing!

I have a couple friends who like some of the same music I do; they're just not quite as obsessive about it. My BFF and I have a lot in common musically, but she leans more toward the mellow side, whereas I lean toward Indie Rock. She does share my love for anti-folk, though. (Though no one quite gets my obsession with alt country and classic country/folk music. And this thing I have for banjos...)
