Which song do you listen to when...
you feel like 1982?
Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra
I don't remember so much from that year as it was my birth year. But this jiggy song is from then.
you come home from the club?
Jimi Hendrix - Fire
you take a bubble bath?
D'Angelo - Untitled (How Does It Feel)
Have you heard the king has returned? On Facebook dudes are outdoing themselves in telling who likes him the most.
you camp in the desert?
Godley & Creme - Cry
you prepare a candle light dinner?
Mayer Hawthorne - No Strings
you go to a club?
Armand Van Helden - U Don't Know Me
Still one of my absolute favorites. Still makes me smile. For a short period I dressed exactly like Armand does in the video. Black North Face vest, red Ecko hoodie, big jeans, black beanie etc.
you run naked through a cornfield?
Free Energy - Free Energy
you prepare for an important date?
Phil Collins - Sussudio
you want to disturb your neighbours?
The Bronx - History's Stranglers
So so angry. Motherfucker I want your blood.
you drive a car late at night?
Nas - It Ain't Hard To Tell
With open windows. Full speed. I am a former G.
you go fishing?
Then I am most likely in a boat, trying my best not to get the fishing net and the buoys all tangled up. So I will prefer no music other than the seagulls shouting. I usually get shitloads of mackerel and salmon.
you walk through a dark forest?
Michael Bolton - Can I Touch You... There?
A little saxophone goes a long way.
you jog?
I don't jog. I barely walk. I mostly roll around on my bike. I wish I jogged. I need more exercise.
you are love sick?
Carole King - So Far Away
you make love?
Burzum - Kaimadalthas' Nedstigning
you meet your parents?
Bugge Wesseltoft - It's Snowing One My Piano
This album has been on repeat all christmas since I bought it for them some years ago.
you sit in a plane?
Skatebord - Confirmation Bias
Some nice Berghain techno that perfectly blocks out all the plane noises.
you have to spend a night in a spooky hotel?
A nice collection of classical music. Brahms, Wagner, Luchesi, Elgar and the boys.
you stay in bed?
Motorpsycho - Upstairs-Downstairs
you sit in the subway?
TQ - Westside
you repair a synthesizer?
Toy - Rabbit Pushing Mower
you wake up?
Kindness - Cyan
you need to get work done?
I put some mixtapes on in the background. So I don't have to change all time. Some tapes from friends or a tape from Beats In Space.
a song that reminds you of school
The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
There was a lot of singing at my school. And a lot of Beatles.
the perfect anthem for Bergen
Tier'n & Lars feat. Jan Eggum - Sånn Kan Det Gå
perfect anthem for Berlin
Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)
Easy choice. This song has been important for me here in Berlin. This was where I saw the movies «Stop Making Sense» and «Cheyenne: This Must Be The Place» for the first, second and third time. Those made quite an impression.
best concert you ever attended
Daft Punk
In Hyde Park 2007 with 20.000 dancing people.
your boozed up anthem
At The Drive-In - Arcasenal
a song guaranteed to make you feel depressed
Lou Bega - Mambo #5
a song everyone should hear
Autre Ne Veut - Drama Cum Drama
a record you fell in love to
Espen Lind - When Susannah Cries
I remember some slow dancing and later crying happening to this song. Vaguely.
first record you remember
Starship - We Built This City
This springs instantly to mind. I have fond memories of listening to this while playing with my toy cars on a carpet which had roads and house patterns on it.
the song to be played at your funeral
This is the big one. This song must be great and make everyone cry and smile. I have given this some thought once in a while. But I think you will have to show up to find out.
a song that evokes the greatest summer of your life
Jaa9 & OnklP - Glir Forbi
your guilty pleasure song
Billy Joel - The River Of Dreams
I used to 'play' piano while listening to this. I still can't play.
your ultimate heartbreak song
Noah And The Whale - Blue Skies
best Kraftwerk song
Kraftwerk - Ohm Sweet Ohm
This one gets some extra points for the title.
your party anthem
The Flirts - Passion
Holy Ghost! - Hold On
This never leaves the bag. Too bad nothing on their debut album was even remotely as good as this.
first record you bought
Russel B. - Syntheziser Collection Vol.3
A horrible collection of song played only on synths. Roxette's «It Must Have Been Love» is on it. Enough said.
your sunday morning song
Alexi Murdoch - All Of My Days
a song you wish you'd written yourself
The Whitest Boy Alive - Don't Give Up
