| first
record you remember
„Saturday Night Fever“. My mum was in love with
John Travolta and The Bee Gees and dragged us to the movie
14 times.
a song that reminds you of school
Pink Floyd – Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2); Alice
Cooper – School’s Out. I never did like school
that much o wasnt so hot for teachers. Close tie.
a record you fell in love to
Tom Waits - Coney Island Baby; from the „Blood Money“
album. That was our song since me and my girl fell in lovee
in Coney Island. We played it in Vegas as we walked down the
isle.
your ultimate heartbreak song
Elliott Smith - Waltz # 3. I drank myself silly while listening
to it on repeat in my car on a hill in Silver Lake after being
dumped.
a record that evokes the greatest summer of your life
The Cure – Standing On A Beach / Staring At The Sea.
I would listen to that record after surfing on the long drive
home.
first record you bought
Prince - Little Red Corvette. The song was great but the picture
of him inside with his black underwear was a little disconcerting
for a 14 year old kid.
your boozedup anthem
The Morning Glories - Fully Loaded. This would be the obvious
anthem for me. It’s pretty much a nod/glorification
to getting fucked up. "Here I Am" from my pet project
Lucinda Black Bear is not an anthem but addresses the opposite
side of the spectrum so to speak.
your liberation anthem
The Smiths - Headmaster's Ritual
a song you wish you wrote yourself
Anything by Elliott Smith. He is the one songwriter that made
me question whether my chosen vocation was the right one for
me.
record it took you the longest time to find
I'm not the biggest collector of LP's. But I have been looking
for my vinyl of This Mortal Coil and still haven't found it
yet!
song that reminds your friends of you
That’s a hard one. Maybe people have mentioned Neil
Young a few times – for the turnstiles.
first video clip you ever saw
It’s between A Flock Of Seagulls’ "And I
Ran" or Modern English's "Melt With You". Funny
thing is I ended up playing with Modern English and we did
a show with A Flock Of Seagulls in Florida somewhere.
a song you would use as a ring-tone
(if forced)
Bill Conti - The Theme From Rocky (Gonna Fly Now); TLC –
Scrubs
a song guaranteed to make you feel depressed
Porter Wagoner - The Agony Of Waiting, or anything by Joy
Division and Nick Drake.
best Beatles Song
„Something". Ol' George always got the short end
of the stick and he wrote some of the best songs.
the perfect anthem for San Diego
Tom Waits - Filipino Box Spring Hog. Not many people know
this but Tom is from San Diego too and this sounds like a
San Diego song to me.
the song to be played at your
funeral
Tom Waits - Hang Down Your Head |
