Which song do you listen to when...
you feel like 1982?
I can’t recall what I was listening to at that age.
you come home from the club?
No music, because chances are, the DJ was deaf and the club was too loud. So I will give my ears a rest.
you take a bubble bath?
Tortoise - Ten-Day Interval
This song has the ability to make time non existant. I’m not kidding.
you relax on a beach?
I will be in the water, on the waves.
you prepare a candle light dinner?
Q104.3 FM. This station never changes in my kitchen. Classic rock 24hrs a day.
you go to a club?
The music that is playing. Of course.
you run naked through a cornfield?
Either things are going really well or really not well at this point. I’m not sure there is a soundtrack for this situation.
you prepare for an important date?
Whatever I’m working on because I work up to the point I leave my apartment.
you want to disturb your neighbours?
I want them to be calm. This is New York City. It is hard enough.
you drive a car late at night?
Bruce Springsteen - State Trooper
Drive at night, and you’ll understand, preferably in the rain, preferably with a broken heart.
you are love sick?
The Supremes - It's Time to Break Down
Because it gives my heart a chance to breathe. And it’s always out of breath, so I listen to this quite a lot.
you make love?
Screams of exctacy from my lover. This is music.
you sit in a plane?
If I’m on a plane, I’m asleep.
you have to spend a night in a spooky hotel?
If I’m in a hotel, I’m also asleep.
you stay in bed?
I go to sleep with the TV. It is on when I don’t feel like watching it.
you sit in the subway?
Tortoise - Ten-Day Interval
This song has the ability to make time non existant.
you wake up?
Cajmere - Percolator
To kick start the afternoon.
