Okay, I know this kind of survey isn't everyone's bag, but I think it could be an interesting way to get to know other people's musical tastes. And possibly, it could spark some discussion about the artists listed. So, once you go past the cut, just fill out the survey OR you can go ahead and say something about any of the artists I've listed in my answers to the survey. If you want, you can go ahead and tell me you hate the artists. That's perfectly fine. Also, if you just want to tell me that you think What's-his-face from one of the bands is "so hot!", at least say WHY you think they're good-looking, alright? Okay, so....
Unfortunately, for both parts, you'll just have to cut out my answers and paste in your own. I couldn't make the whole thing fit in here with my answers AND a blank copy of the survey. For this part, set whatever you use to listen to music (RealPlayer, WinAmp, iTunes, etc.) to shuffle through your entire music library, then fill out this set of questions for each of the first FIVE songs that pop up.
Song: "Slow Down" by The Academy Is...
Any special meaning to you? This was actually one of the very first songs I ever heard from TAI, so definitely. It helped get me into their music (and it doesn't hurt that Will is just yummy in the video)
Is there someone you would dedicate it to? Hmmm, can't think of anyone
Do you think anyone might dedicate it to you? Not really, no
Favorite Lyric: For reasons only two other people in this comm will understand, the chorus
Favorite song by that artist: Classifieds
What mood does the song generate? For me, it's a kind of happiness that makes me want to get up and dance
Song: "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails
Any special meaning to you? Not really
Is there someone you would dedicate it to? I'd be a little disturbed if I could think of anyone to dedicate this to, actually
Do you think anyone might dedicate it to you? Not that I can think of
Favorite Lyric: Through every forest
Above the trees
Within my stomach
Scraped off my knees
I drink the honey, inside your hive...
You are the reason I stay alive...
Favorite song by that artist: This is actually it
What mood does the song generate? Eh, if you can call "Let's fuck" a mood, then that's.... pretty much the mood this song generates
Song: "Bulls In Brooklyn" by The Academy Is...
Any special meaning to you? Well, it does make me giggle every time I listen to it because, when I saw TAI in concert, Will told Andy to get the song started and instead of actually playing the drums, he started it off with a kind of..... beatbox thing that made everyone turn around and stare at him for a moment
Is there someone you would dedicate it to? Can't think of anyone
Do you think anyone might dedicate it to you? Eh.... maybe
Favorite Lyric: Don't think you're more than this
Or above all this
With your blah, blah, blah
And all your friends
Don't say you think you know
When you know you don't
Favorite song by that artist: Classifieds
What mood does the song generate? Annoyance at anyone who talks shit without knowing the whole story, or even a part of it
Song: "4 AM Forever" by Lostprophets
Any special meaning to you? yes; a few months ago, I lost a really good friend of mine because of a stupid argument over something that I shouldn't have been bothered by in the first place
Is there someone you would dedicate it to? yes, that friend I just mentioned
Do you think anyone might dedicate it to you? As cheesy as this might sound, hopefully that same friend
Favorite Lyric: Yesterday I lost my closest friend
Yesterday I wanted time to end
I wonder if my heart will ever mend
I just let you slip away
4 AM forever
Maybe I'll never see you smile again
Maybe you thought that it was all pretend;
All these words that I could never say
I just let them slip away
Favorite song by that artist: A Town Called Hypocrisy
What mood does the song generate? It makes me sad because I keep remembering how I never could bring myself to apologize for upsetting this friend
Song: "Is This It?" by The Strokes
Any special meaning to you? Well, it was the very first song I ever heard of theirs, so if that counts.....
Is there someone you would dedicate it to? Can't think of anyone
Do you think anyone might dedicate it to you? I don't think so
Favorite Lyric: Said they'd give you anything you ever wanted
When they lied, I knew it was just stable children
Trying hard not to realize I was sitting right behind them
Favorite song by that artist: Reptilia
What mood does the song generate? You know, I have absolutely no idea
Okay, for this second part, write down the five songs that come up with your music player on shuffle, then answer the questions
1. "Sick Boy" by Kill Hannah
2. "Your Song" by Jamisonparker
3. "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja" by Lostprophets
4. "The City Is At War" by Cobra Starship
5. "Four Winds" by Bright Eyes
1. Favorite song by artist #3? A Town Called Hypocrisy
2. Any special meaning with song #1? Aside from it being one of the first songs I heard from Kill Hannah, not really
3. Do your parents/friends listen to any of these artists? My dad probably hasn't heard of any of them. My mom really only likes Cobra Starship and Kill Hannah because of, respectively, "Snakes On A Plane (Bring It)" and "Lips Like Morphine". As far as I know, all of my friends listen to all of these artists.
4. Out of these five songs, which one did you hear for the first time first? #1, if I'm remembering right
5. Favorite lyric of the 5 different songs? "Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
There are bodies decomposing in containers tonight
In an abandoned building where
A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl
With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl"
6. Least favorite lyric of the 5 songs? Don't really have any to point out
7. Have you ever felt like dedicating one of them to anyone special? #2
8. Which one mostly describes the situation with the person you're in love with (if you are currently in love)? I'm not, so this one doesn't even count
9. Which one do you think you'll still love in the next 10 years? hopefully all of them
