Day 11 - A song from your favorite band
サカナクション –
アルクアラウンド
So I'm one of those people who listen to Japanese music, but I still feel like I'm something of a music snob. There's a lot of music from Japan and I think a lot of it isn't worth listening to and even though I ate up everything I could a while back now I don't really try to find new music and I wasn't looking when I first heard this band, but they blew me away with their style and really unique sound.
Day 12 - A song from a band you hate
Scissor Sisters – I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
There are plenty of bands I don't like, but this one just rubs me the wrong way and makes me prickly like a pineapple when I hear it, which is more often than I'd like since my friends like them. I don't know what it is.
Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure
Shakira – She Wolf
I know it's a cheap song and an awful video, but I just enjoy it. Don't tell anyone.
Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love
Rammstein – Engel
Used to listen to a lot of music like this when I was much angstier. There's still a soft spot in my heart for some of it, a tiny spot and mostly an embarrassing one, but still. Sometimes I want to play angry music.
Day 15 - A song that describes you
坂本真綾 –
カザミドリ
A while ago I would have said Oh! You Pretty Things by David Bowie, but this song is more "me" now. I don't know if it describes me, but it touches me like other songs don't. It's a song about having to leave and do things on your own and go places you've never been. It's a scary feeling and something I've been dealing with for a while, but it's part of my growing into that person I want to be so it's kind of a hopeful and positive song, too. I don't know how to talk about myself. :|
Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hate
Joanna Newsom – Cassiopeia
I don't want to say I hate it, but I did use to love it for all its weirdness and pretty harp music - like I did with a lot of her other songs - but now it feels a little on the screechy side and I just can't listen to it and enjoy it like I did.
