I've got loads going on this week, and just got my younger brother kicked out of a bar, so briefly:
-Sweet Jane
When I worked in a boutique, I got to play music, and among the CDs they had was Loaded, which I listened to over and over and over. This song kind of epitomizes them for me - "And the poets they studied rules of verse, and the ladies, they rolled their eyes" kind of sums up every generation of young bohemians.
-White Rabbit
Jefferson Airplane are obviously another favourite, but I actually started listening to them when a friend's younger brother (who was about eleven at the time) was singing this and imitating Grace Slick's voice uncannily well. This is probably Jefferson Airplane's most famous songs, but that doesn't make it any worse.
-You Name Begins with "A" (Native Spirits)
Strange but weirdly exhilarating Mayan background music that I used to listen to while doing chores and homework and suchlike.
-La Mia Ragazza Mena and
-Dentro Alla Scatolla
Once, I somewhat liked a boy I wasn't supposed to, which I knew at the time - ah the follies of youth. But he gave me Italian punk and rap and various other music, which was good, or at least interesting. It's interesting to note that music seems to get better when we can't understand it...
