Which song do you listen to when...
you feel like 1982?
Dream Syndicate - That's What You Always Say
you try to stay up for more than 24 hours?
Nirvana - In Utero
The energy of it is so enfused and it also makes you sink into the music and keeps your mind off other things.
you take a bubble bath?
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
you ride a bicycle?
Cat Stevens - Here Comes My Baby
It’s off his first album «Matthew And Son» from 1967.
you camp in the desert?
Calexico
Kinda obvious, cuz it’s desert music what they do. And they are from Tucson, Arizona.
you go to a club?
Small Faces
The Creation
On one hand I really like to dance to slow jam hiphop. On the other hand – if me and my husband go out – it has to be a bar that plays sixties pop music. The first British invasion, bands like Small Faces, or The Creation, or The Move.
you want to disturb your neighbours?
Metallica - Black Album
you are love sick?
The Beatles - In My Life
It makes me very, very emotional.
you make love?
Stevie Wonder
Calexico
Me and my husband made a compilation of five hours music for our wedding. We just put songs on it we both like. We didn’t really have a big discussion about it. I didn’t allow him to put any Bangles on it, though. We both agree basically on the same songs.
you paint your apartment?
The Beatles - White Album
I need a double album for that. And something as diverse as this masterpiece.
you jump out of a plane with a parachute?
I would be screaming too loud to listen to any music!
you sit in a plane?
The Cowsills
That’s the band my husband, John Coswill, was in. It was him and his four brothers, their sister and their mother. They had several top ten hits in the late 60’s. («The Rain, The Park, and Other Things», «Indian Lake», «Hair»). They even had their own TV special, called «A Family Thing» in 1968. Which was the template for the very successful «The Partridge Family» with David Cassidy later on. So listening to The Cowsills reminds me of my childhood. It’s comfort music to me.
you have to spend a night in a spooky hotel?
Giant Sand - Warm Storm
With this early tune from Giant Sand I have the ghosts come and listen to the music and leave me alone.
you wake up?
Dusty Springfield - Just A Little Lovin'
It depends on the week day. I’m not gonna answer for Monday. That would be corny. So let’s say «Just A Little Lovin’» for a sunday morning.
you work in the garden?
Simon & Garfunkel - Bookends
