Because it's been almost two years since I filled this out...I thought it would be fun to see how this has changed.

1. How did you get into 29? (Martina Sorbara)
My friend Christina loved her first. She has excellent taste in music, so I looked her up.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Clay Aiken)
Haha...umm...I guess something he sang on American Idol? I don't remember whether I watched the auditions that season or picked up the show later.

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Chris Isaak)
No idea. I don't really pay attention to his lyrics...more his music and his voice.

4. What is your favorite album by 49? (Spice Girls)
Haha, I guess I prefer Spice World?

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Mariah Carey)
Five.

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Billy Joel)
First, how is Billy only #50?! That's disturbing. I love so many of his songs (so many!!), but if I have to pick just one, I always go with The Longest Time. …

A Very Merry Christmas and Back Door Santa - Apparently I've been listening to this album a lot more than usual lately.

We have some random foreign stuff I've had for ages (Keiner muss das erfahr'n and Un monde à l'envers).

I had an unlistened-to James Marsters song?! Apparently this was the first week Layabout was in my library!

Poor Little Rich Boy.

My Prayer, Magic Wand, Sailing With Russell and Somebody's Watching You, from when I stole the entire CD from my dad and forgot I had done so.

Heartless. I forget this song every time I hear it.

My Friend (the Life).

Lettin' Go (painful), which I then realized I didn't like and deleted.

You Are So Beautiful, which at first I thought was Taylor Hicks's version.

Discovered new Idol people songs. I love Heartbreak on Vinyl, was bored by Hypnotized.

Reefer Madness. I have a whole bunch of songs from this show and have just never listened to it. I should some day.

Unlike most people on last.fm, I don't own an iPod. I use last.fm to build my playlist, stay connected all day to listen, and get artist recommendations. Believe it or not I do read people's journals and actually take part in discussion I know something about.

I wanted to share my playlist, which is an accurate representation of my taste.

These tracks are in alphabetical order, not specific to favorites or what artist I may like better.

The Konks
29 Fingers
I play a lot of Rock Band, and this song is listed as the easiest song for drums. Listening to the lyrics it's understandable why, "Cheap guitars and only two lousy drums". Great song though, love the beat.

Puretone
Addicted To Bass
When this song first came out, I had just gotten my first and only car. I remember hearing it on 93.3 in Denver, on a show called E-leven, where they played techno after 11pm. I turned it up so loud I almost blew my speakers. Ever since then, this song makes me jump to my feet at the club and get wild.
