1. three songs that come up when you put your iPod/phone on shuffle

•
Earlimart's Before it Gets Better, a beautiful and haunting

melody.
4. three songs that you know thanks to your parents
• Paul Simon's Kodachrome, from his 'Negotiations and Love Songs' album that we played about 10,000,000 times when I was young

| Tom T. Hall |
5. three songs you wish you could forget (because listening to them hurts)
• Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead
• Wish You Were Here by Velvet Revolver
• Mellow Yellow by Donovan
6. three songs you wish you could erase from history (because they’re terrible)
I won't do that. There is plenty of music that I don't like, but that's personal - I'm not qualified to be a critic. If you like something that I don't, more power to ya. Also, if I don't like it I'm not gonna give it play here. (My music posts are perennial hits, pun intended.)
7. three songs you didn’t expect to like but eventually loved
• Queens of the Stone Age's Feet Don't Fail Me Now
• Bleed the Freak by Alice in Chains
• Tom Waits' Kiss Me |
| Third Eye Blind |
• Third Eye Blind's Motorcycle Drive By
• Summer Nights by Van Halen
• Trooper's Raise a Little Hell11. three favourite songs from movie or TV series soundtracks
oh my gosh, so many! It's one of the best ways to find good music. All of Singles, obviously, is fantastic. Black Snake Moan is a different kind of awesome. 'Criminal Minds', 'Flashpoint', and 'Elementary', too. And 'ReGenesis'. And 'Northern Exposure'....
• Hallelujah
by Rufus Wainwright, from 'Criminal Minds' S7 E1
• Lonely by Winston, from Flashpoint S4 E3

this makes me laugh. For years, Chris and I were working on a playlist for sex. Not together (the sex part)! I have a dozen versions and notes about it in a box of papers someplace, and a couple of versions in my iTunes. I miss that so much - the funny interests that we shared, the out-of-the-blue texted link to a song, the "Oh My GOD you have to hear this amazing album!" sharing. Some of those songs are really, really dirty....

• Supa Hypnotic by Shaggy21. three songs of your childhood
• Tom Sawyer by Rush, which was one of my brother's most-played songs one season
• 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon, which I memorized when I was way too young to recognize what I was singing - likely both hilarious and mortifying to anyone who heard it!
• Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash
22. three songs you listen to when you’re sad
I don't seek music when I'm sad. If anything, I try hard to avoid it. I'm more into lyrics than music (sorry, purists) and equate songs with feelings about people.
