Round 8 - Music
1. What song(s) would you like played at your funeral?
Metallica's Orion.
2. What is the first CD/album/cassette you bought?
My sister bought me Carcass' Symphonies Of Sickness(my choice!)when I was around 14. I remember buying Nirvana's Nevermind and Neil Young's Harvest and some other records one Christmas, maybe that was my first album-buying experience. Oh, and I did buy a Bananarama single in a cafe in Jersey(Channel Island, not 'New'!)when I was quite small!
3. What's the lamest concert you've attended?
A one-day musical festival in Galway, that was time-constrained by a local curfew. Beastie Boys headlined (they were pretty good), and were supported by Pulp(very good), Garbage(okay) and Ian Brown(shite). I remember Shirley Manson of Garbage saying they would cut they're set short for The Beasties Boys(fair play). The curfew really ruined it!!
4. Who is the artist you'd most like to see live for the first time?
I'll have to go with Starmekitten and say Tom Waits. He plays so rarely.
5. What was your favorite musical poster in your teenhood
bedroom?
Maybe a Metallica '...And Justice For All' poster. Or a Pixies poster I got with A Doolittle chord book(see below, although it was actually an A4 fold-out shape!).
6. What is the first song you learned to play?
Probably a Metallica song-can't remember!!
7. Who is the artist you've seen in concert the most?
I'm not sure who I've seen more than once-my brother's old punk band probably!!

Their performance left me cold - it was a show I'd been looking forward to for ages but I was left with the impression that they were merely going through the motions. I could have played their cd really loudly in a smokey room and had the same effect.

gotten you into?
