If you're not Marcy, then I demand you get off her computer this minute. You made a fatal flaw my friend. You're using her identity to make posts on this blog, but we now have three songs off your ipod. It will be easy enough to track you from those. You are in a world of annoyance once we determine who you are.
It was Keane. But THAT Chopin Nocturne is my favorite piece to play in the whole fucking world. When I was a kid, my mom would play it and I would get all goose-bumpy. I kept asking my piano teacher when I could play Chopin and he would say I wasn't ready. I kept praciticing and asking and practicing and asking and one day "I WAS READY" and I mastered that tune.
I have it because it's on the soundtrack album to 'Waking Life'. I didn't want you guys thinking I'm some toffee-nosed wanker prancing around putting classical music on my iPod.
Relates to a problem I'm coming up against when it comes to the Desert Island Disc theme -- turns out I've already done songs from the ones that come to mind, so now I'm down to like my 7th or 8th Desert Disc just to find one I haven't already submitted something off of.
I'm thinking it's a flaw in the process. Our Desert Disc should be the REAL desert disc selection even if they have been submitted, right? It doesn't make sense to fudge it, right?
They talked to a guy on Sound Opinions who spent 7 months on a Galapagos island with 20 CDs. He suggested an actual Desert Island disc should not be something you really love, but something you are still trying to figure out. That way when you get sick of it you won't end up hating a song you always thought of as a favorite.
I personally still have favorites that I haven't played simply because they didn't fit into the theme better than other songs that weren't a favorite.

I got two of those songs from Music Club. I believe they were from Greg.
DeleteI thought Greg, too! Actually, I thought you, Pat, and then couldn't decide between the two of you.
DeleteBut maybe you're playing mind games...
Nope.
DeleteSee, MY FAVORITE NAME came from me into the Music Club, but I don't think it's me.
DeleteMan, I'm unbelievably dumb.

See Marcy, I did it, too. You are completely normal.
DeleteOr at least believably dumb.
I guess Jim!
DeleteOh, you 're good.

*I cheated and skipped a really obvious song. I'll tell you later if you guess right.
I think Marcy because of her love of Chopin.
DeleteWhy would he write a Nocturne in E-Flat? That makes no sense.

Definitely Gina!
How'd you know??
DeleteThe song I skipped was Rose Darling/Steely Dan. Because of course.
It was Keane.

It's super pretty. Well done!

Too late.
DeleteI can never do these. I've telegraphed too much.

Yeah, I'll be on 4 - 10 myself. I blew my Tina Turner wad already! Wait, that sounds really wrong.

How many songs are in a Tina Turner wad?
I like that rationale.
DeleteI think I have multiple Tina Turner wads. (My deepest apologizes to Ms. Turner.)

ReplyDeleteAre you guys still there? Did Pat remove you both or did Marcy? Or is there an author/administrator out there randomly removing people?
ReplyDeleteI deleted Pat and then felt guilty and deleted myself. Pat, forgive me!
ReplyDeleteI like that. Do unto other and then do unto yourself in a fit of guilt. Admirable.
