A week from now, I’ll be on the road to my mom’s house for Thanksgiving! I have a lot I want to get done between now and then, including catching up on my reading! I’ve been reading a new book about owning your mistakes, and one of my biggest flaws is my unbelievable patterns of procrastination! I want to change that and start getting things done. So here’s a quick little “Get to Know Me” post with a few music themed “Would You Rather” questions! Let’s dance.
- Headphones or Speakers? Headphones. They make me feel like the main character, and only I can hear the music.
- Festival or Rave? I’ve never been to either, but I feel like I’d love a Festival more? Going to Bonnaroo or SXSW is on my bucket list.
- Vinyl or Spotify? I’m not hipster enough to own a record player. Spotify better suits my “I listen to everything” taste.
- DJ or Band? For an event? DJ. For casual listening? More often than not, bands.
- 80’s or 90’s? Probably 80’s! It hits all the emotional high points. Angst? The Smiths. Happy? Huey Lewis and the News. Caught in a dystopia like Groundhog Day experience? Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
- Classic or Rock? Uh… classic rock? If it’s been in an episode of “Supernatural,” it’s somewhere on a playlist.
- Beach Boys or the Beatles? Love, love love… the Beatles.
- Dancing or Listening? If I had to pick between sitting and feeling the music or dancing and feeling the music, I think I’d pick dancing. I can emotionally break dance to sad songs, but not being able to dance to happy songs would be a CURSE.
- Britney or Beyonce? Britney! Beyonce is a close second though.
- Backstreet Boys or NSYNC? NSYNC. I listened to No Strings Attached on tape (ON TAPE) for gosh knows how long.
- “Hey There Delilah” or “Viva La Vida”? Viva La Vida!
- Michelle Branch or Vanessa Carlton? Michelle Branch, but I have a special place in my heart for Vanessa. I would walk a thousand miles if I could just see you tonight.
- Panic! at the Disco or Fall Out Boy? Panic! at the Disco.
- All-American Rejects or Bowling For Soup? All-American Rejects!
- “Semi-Charmed Life” or “One Week”? – Semi Charmed Life. One of the BEST songs from the nineties.
- “Disturbia” or “Umbrella”? DISTURBIA!!!!
- Justin Bieber or Shawn Mendes? Shawn Mendes musically, but Justin Bieber seems like he’d be more fun to see live.
- Front row seats or backstage passes? FRONT ROW SEATS! Just touch my hand. I don’t want to meet you. I CAN’T DISAPPOINT YOU IF I NEVER MEET YOU.
- Secret show or Album launch? Secret Show! I like hearing acoustic versions of songs, and those tend to be less high intensity as a regular concert. Acoustic guitars come out for stripped down covers and it makes me feel alive. I assume. I’ve only seen footage of secret shows after the fact. I gotta go to a secret show at some point. Shoot.
- Concert documentary or Retrospective feature? Taylor Swift’s “Miss Americana” was incredible. So was Demi Lovato’s “Simply Complicated.” Concert films are fun, but I like really knowing the artist behind the music!
Next month, I’ll do another music review to keep things moving. Tis the season… if you know what I mean!
