this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
so, yeah, i jumped on the bandwagon. this really was a LOT harder than i thought it would be. i decided to go the extra step and explain my choices as well. i chose songs that took me back to either a specific memory or a period in my life that was for one reason or another special and/or important.
lookout weekend - debbie deb
8th grade prom. i was dancing with my friends who were the "popular" kids. that was a big deal since i started the year as the new nerdy kid.
she swallowed it - n.w.a.
weekends at my boyfriend's. not that i'm saying i swallowed (or didn't swallow for that matter) anything. we both liked n.w.a., so we listened to them a lot
add it up - violent femmes
field trip to galveston for my a/p anatomy class. i was hanging out with the "bad" kids.
master and servant - depeche mode
i played this song over and over in high school.
the only time - nine inch nails
senior year, going to get lunch off campus.
me so horny - 2 live crew
one of many high school dances. my two gay guy friends and i were dirty dancing to this.
start me up - rolling stones
summers in new orleans with my mom
get up, stand up - peter tosh
see above. i went to see him in concert one of those summers.
the fireman - george strait
doing the texas two step with my grandpa at the fireman's ball.
set a drift on memory bliss - pm dawn
this was a huge hit right around the time i had my first lesbian experience. it wasn't playing in the background or anything, it just reminds me of that time in my life.
james brown is dead - la style
the gay/lesbian sunday hang out in san antonio. i was sitting in my car under the *ahem* influence *innocent look* blasting this song
show me love - robin s
this one reminds me of many many nights spent clubbing in san antonio.
principles of lust - enigma
i had this as the background music for my answering machine and couldn't figure out why i kept getting hang ups. turns out my friend had given my number to all her friends so they could hear my voice because she thought it was sexy.
come baby come - k7
clubbing in new orleans
deeper love - aretha franklin
this was my anthem when i first moved to miami. "i get up out of bed, i put on my clothes, cuz i've got bills to pay. now it ain't easy, but i don't need no help. i've got a strong will to survive. i've got a deeper love, a deeper love, a deeper love inside, and i call it pride."
at last - etta james
exactly how i felt when i met the wife
finally found someone - bryan adams
our wedding song *sappy sigh*
clocks - coldplay
this song really spoke to me during a rough patch with the wife
buttons - the pussycat dolls
this song makes me want to strip, so i decided to play it and strip for the wife one night. that was SO fucking liberating!

ReplyDeleteI like the music selection. And I also like the stories that went along with it.

Awesome choices. I am finding it so interesting to see what people pick on this one. I won't do it though. I freely admit I am too lazy to take the time. *hangs head in shame*
