beki’s musically challenged

If you are just starting out on a career in the blogging world, head this piece of advice: never blog drunk. God knows what might happen.

The odd thing about yesterday’s post is the absolute and complete lack of alcohol or any other stimulant. I was sober, stone-cold stober.

Odd.

Moving on….

Beki’s musical challenge
A couple of days ago on Beki’s blog, she asked, nay demanded, all concerned to answer a couple of personal questions vis a vis one’s taste in music. I would never dream of denying Beki a thing, even now she’s flounced off up to Sydney. So here goes:

  1. Name your all time favourite song that you will never get sick of
    Song to the siren by Tim Buckley
  2. List the ten songs that would make the “sound track of your life” i.e. your other favouritist songs that are not your bestest ever
    I shall be released - Bob Dylan
    So real - Jeff Buckley
    There she goes - The Las
    Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen
    Shiloh town - Tim Hardin
    Down by the seaside - Led Zeppelin
    The same deep water as you - The Cure
    Road - Nick Drake
    God only knows - The Beach Boys
    Blackbird - the Beatles
  3. he one song that you love but are too embarrassed to admit it to anyone (and now I’m making you admit it to anyone). The more embarrassing the better
    We have all the time in the world by Louis Armstrong.
    I think it comes from the soundtrack from some 60s James Bond film. That being said, I think it’s way cool, no matter what anyone else says.

Question 2 was pretty much songs picked at random. There are a whole lot more that could make the list on another day. I also excluded classical music, just to make it easier.

Running
11km this afternoon. It was windy and unpleasant. So was the weather.

  1. Flounced??? It’s been a very long time since anyone accused me of flouncing! But anyway, glad to see a Nick Drake track on there - he is so under rated

    And what exactly is embarrassing about the Louis Armstrong song? Did you read AJH’s list??? Now THAT was embarrassing (sorry AJH lol)

  2. Yes, well, I’ve never actually met you. I have this image of you as being someone who flounces. Don’t wreck that for me….

  3. By the way, I’m pleased you didn’t notice the slightly unusual grammar in the post title….

  4. ummmmm are you referring to my ever so seedy drunk posting..lol.. just kidding

  5. Very hard to narrow down to 10 songs, really depends on mood. I can think of 10 new songs every day.

  6. Ohh, I once loved the La’s- shame that song is about heroin but then I can still belt out the words to “Run To Paradise” without feeling the irony.

  7. given that you’ve failed to honour your word and post a photograph, the question must be asked - is this what your cardy looks like?
