Music Meme

I pinched this from karaokegal

Because I am so confident in my knowledge of music, ask me about 5 of your favorite bands [or artists], and I will list my favorite songs by each of them and why, but the catch is you must post this in your journal too! You know you want to! Make it so!

The meme says you should post to your journal, but I'm not one for meme fascism. If you just wanna test me and don't fancy it yourself, I won't be checking up on you ;)

Grrrr.
1. As previously discussed I am allowed to grill you on your fave song by Muse but from The Resistance only as you didnt have that when answering the earlier question. It is a bit unfair with you having only had the album for 24hrs but there you are. Life isnt fair. Deal with it. >:)

2. Does It Offend You, Yeah?
3. Goldfrapp.
4. Friendly Fires.
5. Gnarls Barkley.

Go about your evil business.

1) I've listened to the album through in full twice now and whilst there are other songs I enjoyed, I'm loving "Exogenesis pt. 3". I might've listened to all the songs twice, but I've listened to that about six times. It feels like the piano is just washing over me and I can feel the tension ebbing out of me as I listen to it. Gorgeous.

2) My favourite DIOYY? track is Se7en, which was on their original demo. I know they chopped bits out of it and used it elsewhere and they'll probably never play it live as it was, but I love it. The deep, dirty bassline is perfect. I am, as Puretone once warbled in a one-hit wonder stylee, addicted to bass. The use of constant noise interspersed with silence makes my brain relax. I can feel it turn to jelly inside my skull. The bass-static at the end when I play it on my iPod drowns out all the noise in my brain and sends me to my happy place.

3) Not a massive fan of Goldfrapp to be honest, but I do really like "Black Cherry". Not least because of happy memories of sitting outside the Big Chill Bar on a sunny summer's afternoon in Whoreditch singing "Whoa-oh! Matt Berry! Ma-att Berry!" =D

4) Gah! How to choose a favourite FF song?! I think probably "Photo Booth" is my fave. I love the funk. They have the funk. I need to find out when they're going on tour because Mr G loves their funk too :D

5) Gnarls Barkley. Hmmm. I think probably "Smiley Faces". It's so cheerful and in some weird way sort of appeals to my love of choral music. It has that gospel-type feel to it.
