30 = 9, right?
I grew bored of that fairly quickly. I doubt anyone really listened to the stuff I posted anyway, and most of the days are pretty boring. There’s a couple that I’d still like to do, though.
Day 13: A song that is a guilty pleasure
I would only call this a guilty pleasure because of the lyrics. They’re truly hurtful and disgusting, however I love the music itself. It’s quite sad really.
Day 14: A song that no one would expect you to love
I’m a metalhead, and as such people seem to be surprised if I’m listening to something that’s not metal or by a metal band. One of my favourite live bands are The Decemberists.
Here’s one of their songs I recently enjoyed live.
Day 20: A song that you listen to when you’re angry
When I’m angry, for some reason I don’t want to calm down. I want to listen to angry music. A lot of the music I listen to would be considered by most to be “angry”, due to guttural vocals, a high BPM, shredding guitars and so on. That’s not angry music. That said, though, it’s fantastic to listen to when you are angry.
Here is a song.
Day 21: A song that you listen to when you’re happy
Day 21: A song that you listen to when you’re sad
Day 24: A song that you want to play at your funeral
I want my funeral to be a happy thing. Not because I’m dead, but because the attendees are not. I’ve only been to one funeral in my life, and it was a truly awful thing. From the bullshit religion to the bullshit people telling you it’s okay to be sad and cry. Y’think? Fuck you.
So, I’d donate my body to science and have no real funeral as such. I’d much rather people went to the pub and had a few too many drinks and had fun. Listen to music, tell stories. Start bar brawls. Be awesome.
And because I’m fucking dead, I couldn’t give the tiniest shit about what music is played. I couldn’t actually give the tiniest shit about what people do, being dead. So I won’t choose a song for this day, because when I’m dead, I’d rather you did.
Day 29: A song from your childhood
Along the same lines as Murray, musically my childhood was dominated by Meat Load and Bon Jovi. I don’t much remember hearing the good Meat Loaf stuff, mostly his awful 1980s stuff. Still, this song stands particularly strongly in my nostalgia banks. It’s because it used the word “shit” and I thought I was all rebellious and badass if I sang along.
Good effort. I’m not going to do the challenge because I’m clearly the worst person in the world when it comes to music. But if I wasn’t then I would.
Are you going to keep posting other stuff on your blog?
P.S. Meat Load is the best.
Yeah I’m going to post other stuff. Gonna write a review of Game of Thrones once I’m done reading it. Maybe some film reviews.
Was thinking of writing a trip report for Murray and I’s trip to Germany even though he’s already done it.
I’ll give you a Meat Load.
