My turn to answer some of these music questions!
1. Who is your all-time favourite artist?
Anyone who knows anything about me will know this one – it's the Beatles!
2. What is your favourite musical genre?
I like a number of musical genres, including 1960s pop, other soft pop, certain types of rock & roll, newer country (1990s and 2000s in particular), Broadway soundtrack, Disney soundtrack – anything lyric-and-emotion oriented.
3. Are there any genres you don’t like?
Hip-hop, anything too electronic, modern pop songs with raps in them, or that have been tampered with too much and now sound madami “machine” than human, anything too hard and heavy, anything without words (with the exception of instrumental pieces from films, because then at least I have some story to associate them with).
4. Who was the last artist you saw live?
A Beatles tribute band called the Caverners.
5. What artist have you seen the most live?
I saw this Beatle impersonator – he does all four at different times – twice.
6. Name one artist you’ve never seen live but would really pag-ibig to.
I mean, seeing any Beatle live would be nice.
7. Do you listen to music on Spotify?
Yes, lots of the time. I don't quite like their mentality of taking up all your listening time at the expense of every other streaming platform, radio, or music collection out there, but – what can I say? They do have almost everything.
8. Do you listen to music on Pandora?
No, I haven't. I don't think you can paghahanap individual songs on Pandora. That's what I'd be interested in. You can probably tell from the “favourite genre” tanong that my liking one song is no guarantee I'll like another song someone else might consider similar!
9. Have you ever bought music off iTunes?
No, but I'd like to. Support the artist and all that.
10. How many songs do you have on your cell phone?
I think around four. I don't usually keep them there. They take up space.
11. Do you pay attention to any music charts?
No. I might if the genres I like were madami mainstream, but I don't think the charts will help me find new stuff to listen to, and I'm certainly not going to decide I like a song just because they tell me to.
12. Have you ever shopped at record store?
Ooh, I'd like to. I have shopped at stores that sell records, but that's not quite the same thing.
13. Have you ever read a book written sa pamamagitan ng a musician?
I read the children's book that Paul wrote. It was good.
14. From 1-10, rate your pag-awit ability.
I'll go with 8 because there is room for improvement, but I am very good at it.
15. Do you like karaoke?
Yes! I mean, I've never done it in front of anyone besides my family – yet – but I'm sure I would like it in madami public settings too.
16. What is your paborito song to sing in the shower?
Ah, I don't do that anymore. The walls are too thin. My family can hear me sing even in the shower. I'd sing whatever came into my head, though, no specific song for every time.
17. Can you play any instruments?
I do play the guitar, though I'm not as good with that as I am with singing.
18. Have you ever written a song?
Sure, plenty of them.
19. Name one musician you wish was still alive.
Well, I can say both John and George, because the Beatles are all one person really :)
20. Will you listen to a song if it has screaming in it?
.... my first thought is “no”, but define screaming.
21. Do you have any posters or pictures of a musical artist on your bedroom wall?
Sure, I have two Beatles posters and some glossies.
22. Name a song that makes you cry.
Both “Ask Me Why” and “The Long and Winding Road” always did, for completely different reasons.
23. Name a song that makes you want to be a better person.
Well, “be a better person” leaves a lot to interpretation, but there are a couple of country songs: “I Wanna Do It All” sa pamamagitan ng Terri Clark and “Big Star” sa pamamagitan ng Kenny Chesney, that I find very inspiring when I need that boost.
24. How many songs do you have on your computer?
I think it must be around four hundred. I tried to count but I was having trouble holding the numbers in my head.
25. Do you own any movie soundtracks?
Yes, I have the soundtrack to “Aladdin” on MP3. I have “Yellow Submarine”, too, but I think of that as a Beatles album, not a movie soundtrack, even though it kind of is one.
26. What is your favourite song from a movie?
“A Whole New World” from Aladdin, “Part Of Your World” from The Little Mermaid – do things like “Help!” count, or was that not written for the movie?
27. Do you own any albums from a musical?
Yes, I have the “Les Miserables” soundtrack – the original English version from 1986. I don't go for tragic stories, but I just pag-ibig the music from that show.
28. Do you have any guilty pleasure artists?
What would constitute a “guilty pleasure” artist? An artist I'm ashamed to admit I like?? Something feels wrong about that....
29. Have you ever gotten a song you dislike stuck in your head?
*sighs * Yep. Somehow that can be easier than getting a song you pag-ibig and have played a million times stuck in your head....
30. Do you listen to any religious music?
Yes, we have a few CDs of Jewish music in our house, which are quite good.
That's it from me today. Hope you enjoyed. Leave a nice comment below if you did :)
