If you had to pick one, what would be your very favorite song?

[advena]

that's a tough one!
i don't think i could narrow it down to just one

what's yours?

[killertrack]

it is hard, I'm thinking maybe I should have asked for a top five

Mine? I guess it depends. If I went for a top 5:
Sittin' on the dock of the bay by Otis Redding
Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson
Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin
Stronger by Kanye West
Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen

[advena]

i don't think i've heard most of those
i do know the queen song though!

( music isn't kara's forte. she's more team netflix than team spotify. )

my sister really liked punk rock for a while
it was a weird phase

[killertrack]

[ Gasp, shock, horror. How do you not know Led Zeppelin or Michael Jackson. This is the kind of thing Baby can't conceive, but then again, she's probably a lot more knowledgeable in some other area that Baby isn't, at all. ]

Well, if you ever feel like discovering new music or classics, B-sides is the place for you!

What kind of music do you like? In a general sense.

[advena]

that sounds great
i've never been to a music store before, though... do you offer recommendations?

i don't think i have favorites
i listened to the radio when i was younger
in the car, mostly
but i don't really drive around anymore

( it's way faster just to fly. )

[killertrack]

you've never been to a music store? how did you listen to music when you were younger? just on the radio?

[ That seems like absolute Hell to Baby. ]

I just... [ He doesn't understand. ] surely you remember songs or types of songs you enjoyed more than others? Pop, or rap, or techno, or rock?

I'm really fond of this song, but really anything by Belle and Sebastian is my favorite.

[killertrack]

I'll put it in my list! I'm working on something for the near future.

You like Bob Dylan? Elliot Smith? Sufjan Stevens? Simon & Garfunkel?

I don't think you can narrow that kind of thing down.
And if someone can, I'm usually a bit suspect of how much music they listen to.

There's also so many categories.
Do we count like movie themes?

[killertrack]

Yeah, you know, when I think about it for myself, I couldn't make it one, either. It's too restrictive.

Everything counts, really. Whatever you could listen to on repeat, over and over, and not get bored. Say, a top 5 to 10?

I'm just trying to put together a playlist for a thing we're doing at b-sides, soon.

[viber]

A top ten is more possible but only if you can move them all around depending on mood, you know? No one wants to be listening to M.C Hammer when they're having a bad day.

Everything you do does become considerably more epic if you do it to 'He's a pirate' from Pirates of the Caribbean.

I don't know how much I love the song but seriously, bro. Try it.

[killertrack]

There are songs that fit every mood, though. Pretty rare, but there are some. I can listen to The Show Must Go On under any circumstances

Interesting. I've never seen the movies in full but I found the Star Wars soundtrack to be pretty epic, too

[viber]

Okay, point but Queen is always the exception, that band exists to break all established rules on music. Any other songs you can think of?

You've never seen it in full?
Like... for real?

[killertrack]

There are probably a couple classical pieces,
but I guess I do make a lot of different playlists for different moods.

No, I'm more of a music guy than a movies guy. And we've always had a tiny tv and no dvr or anything, so I caught bits of them, but haven't seen the whole of it in one sitting.

What I've seen of it looked cool, though. You a fan?

[amarillos]

[seems she's maybe possibly found a music lover on the network. oh good. more friends might be nice.]

can you narrow that down yourself, buddy?

i listen to a lot of stuff, but this is probably my current fave?

[killertrack]

I... can't. It was maybe a bit too much of a task

I'd never heard this song. It's good. You might like this? It's a recent discovery for me and I really like it.

[amarillos]

might be easier if you start with something a little more specific and then work your way out.

like... what's your favorite song to wake up to?

[trini's always on the lookout for new music to add to her workout routine and this definitely qualifies as a contender. she adds it to her list after listening through.]

that's pretty good. it's not every day that i bump into someone who's a big music fan.

[killertrack]

maybe i'll start sending weekly music questions to the city at large. Get a feel for people's tastes.

no? i'm the other way around, i guess - it surprises me when people don't listen to music.

[amarillos]

that wouldn't be terrible, but what are you gonna do with that info?

yeah. but then again, i don't talk to too many people so...

[killertrack]

It's just to get to know people. Why should I want to 'do' anything with it? It's just a question about music taste, not social security numbers.

why don't you?

[creatio]

you know that question is illegal, right?

[killertrack]

[ Ahahahahah funny, Clary. ]

Give me 10, if you can't do one, I'll take it!

[creatio]

okay, okay.
i guess i do need an impartial judge.

1. fall out boy - centuries.
2. the chainsmokers - closer.
3. clarity - exorcism.
4. lana del rey - summertime sadness.
5. lorde - royals.
6. the neighbourhood - sweater weather.
7. beyonce - run the world.
8. awolnation - sail.
9. imagine dragons - radioactive.
10. twenty one pilots - lane boy.

man, i miss my itunes library now

[killertrack]

nice. I don't know a few of these, I'm definitely going to look them up later.

can you not just make spotify playlists here? I've been using it intensively since we arrived to Cadelle.

[creatio]

yeah but i always get the feeling that i'm forgetting something great.
