HI WISH TO KNOW ME?!
these tracks are either songs that threw me into the whole "OMG I LOVE MUSIC GIVE ME MORE" scene or that i feel represent some part of me.. ive found a few artists who can speak directly to my soul, or who know secret hidden things about me.

| 1 | Dave Matthews Band : The Best Of What's Around |

this is it folks. the one and only song that made me like music. i had recieved under the table and dreaming one year for christmas and never gave it the time of day until one day i had to write a paper. mother had just bought our new computer (first one the 'family' was allowed to use) and i was typing my paper while listening to the cd. two songs in and i was no longer even interested in finishing my paper, i had to finish this cd. as contrived and as much of a joke as they are today, dave matthews band is the singular entity that threw me into my obsession with the musical scene.

| 5 | David Bowie : Fashion |
|
i'll admit it, my first taste of bowie was in clueless when they used this track. i had probably heard some songs on the radio before, but never paid any attention to them. i started buying albums, starting with the best of, and quickly had my head full of bowie. it recently came to my attention that quite a few bands i listen to are somewhat influenced by bowie, notably TV on the radio, wolf parade and some of the dandy warhols. he's so fucking awsome.

| 6 | Tori Amos : Leather |
|
after high school i moved away to san antonio to begin my first attempt at college. i had worked at borders books before i moved, and easily transfered to one down there. bookstores are fucking awsome places to find hookups on weed. i befriended sara and her boyfriend and i started spending most of my free time hanging out with them. sara loved tori amos. i had heard of her through TOOL sources, and knew she was connected to a possible love thing with trent reznor, so i gave her a try. one of the best choices i ever made. this was the track that made me fall into her spell.. i still listen to boys for pele whenever i feel like shit. it is my mood therapy.

i couldnt stop listening to this song about a year ago. this is what threw me into my qotsa frenzy. the completely fucked up guitar building the background created an atmosphere i hadnt been in before. this was hazy and dense and immense. call it love at first sight.

| 8 | Toadies : Tyler |

these guys hailed from texas, my home state. theyre "sort of a big thing" around here. i hear this song in my dreams. less overplayed than Possum Kingdom, i always liked the visuals the verses painted. "day and night / to cross this state" is so fucking true, we've got a HUGE state. back when there was still good things on the radio, i would always turn this one up. here lie my solid rock roots.

| 9 | Phil Collins : In the Air Tonight |

as a child of the eighties this song was always playing on the radio as far back as i can remember. never really thought too into it, but a lot of what i take as "dramatic" in my musical habits today stems directly from this song. i also have loved his voice since the first time i heard this song.

so it was my freshman year, on a band trip to somewhere overnight. we were on a charter-bus and my friend played me this song. "how the fuck do you think they [we didnt know it was only one man at the time] got that sound? a sock full of quarters?" that image and this band have stayed around in my brain ever since. i quickly bought this album and began a year long stint where i listened to NIN and pretty much nothing else. this was the first time i had heard anything this lush and fleshed out, and as raw and angry as reznor gets in his music. it's because of him that i have an ear for noise, and can hear the beauty in disharmonance.

| 11 | Radiohead : Pyramid song |

this video came out on mtv2 one night when i was over at a friends house. the combination of being incredibly high and the lush computery fuzziness of the video sparked something in me. i soon picked up amnesiac and ok computer. i burnt myself out on radiohead a long time ago, right after hail to the theif hit stores.. ive recently started listening to some songs again, and im rediscovering how brilliant they were. i never enjoyed kid a as much as amnesiac, this is my home turf in radiohead-land, although i enjoyed the shit out of their experiements in sound, as it were.

every once in a while ill find some part of myself in music, somehow certain notes or tones or patterns unlocks something i havent felt in a while. these two brothers have all the encrpytion keys to my childhood. i get flashes of memories and feelings from that time, especially in this tune.

I love the descriptions, and this is the kind of mix I can certainly relate to. 3,4,5,6 is a perfect sequence in my eyes, I love each of those tracks. I was very suprised by the Phil Collins inclusion. That is one of his better songs, but to me he will always be a snivelling right wing shit. Beauty is in the eyes and ears of the beholder though, and if you saw something in the song all those years ago that inspired you, I can't argue with that. +5 of course.
