Smicer's List.....

1. Your favorite song with the name of a city in the title/text.
At The Chimes Of A City Clock by Nick Drake. Does that count?

2. A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point.
Heaviest Heart by Magnet. The epitome of an eternal heartache.

3. Ever bought an entire album just for one song and disliked everything but that song?
Never. Somehow the least preferred slips in my favour by a wild chance.

4. A song whose lyrics you thought you knew in the past, but you later learned were incorrect.
Stanza by O@G. Radhi fooled me completely with this. He effortlesly crafted this pop-beauty into something euphoric. Proved that he can switch tounges effortlessly without losing his ubiquitous knack of melodic demands.

5. Your least favorite song on one of your favorite albums of all time.
Drift Away Pt. 2 by Damn Dirty Apes. How in the name of post-rock bliss does that get in there? It's very Flying Saucer Attack-ish kinda thing. Circa Distance

6. A song you like by someone you find physically unattractive/repellent.
Bunga Tanjung by Sharifah Aini. She's beauty in the inside.

7. Your favorite song that has expletives in it but not by Liz Phair.
Anything you can find in the catalogues of Dr. Das with Visionary Underground.

8. A song that sounds as if it's by someone British but isn't.
My Darling Curse by Magnet. A cowboy hat sporting Norseman who resides in Bjork's backyard and sounds like a flourishly enhanced version of the Mancunian that is Damon Gough. How multi-national can you get?

9. A song you like (possibly from your past) that took you forever to finally locate a copy of.
Harry Connick Jr,'s rendition of Silver Bells. Opted to download it instead.

10. A song that reminds you of spring but doesn't mention spring at all.
It's obvious. Flower's In The Window by Travis

11. A song that sounds to you like being happy feels.
Hehe. Terago by Sgt. Weener Arms. Lopong and Sapik's responsible for that. It evokes the kindie kid in me. Reminds me of those cheeky moments.

12. Your favorite song from a non-soundtrack compilation album.
IfWhiteAmericaToldTheTruthForADayIt'sWorldWouldFallApart by The Manic Street Preachets in Q's Essential: The Best Of Glastonbury. Period.

13. A song from your past that would be considered politically incorrect now (and possibly was then).
Negaraku, Despite all the sweet comments being thrown at us for being a harmonious nation, I believe in the contarary. Read the daily news and it's about killing/slaughter/suicide everywhere. Wake up fellow countrymen, wake up.

14. A song sung by an overweight person.
Anything by Pavarotti.

15. A song you actually like by an artist you otherwise hate.
Huh. Sessions by Linkin Park

16. A song by a band (whose members actually play instruments) that features at least 3 female members.
The ever-lovely Malibu by Hole fronted by the ever-loathed celebrity Courtney Love.

17. One of the earliest songs that you can remember listening to.
Staright Up by Paula Abdul. She retains everything form that era to this age. Including that smirk.

18. A song you've been mocked by friends for liking.
Nadia by Jeff Beck. They think it's some Bollywood shit. It's a Nithin Sawhney tune la dey! He's not any macha.

19. A really good cover version you think no one else has heard.
A classic Melt Banana tune. Picnic In Panic. Helmed by the mad geniuses that is Boustead Republic. Crazy bitches.

20. A song that cheered you up/ empowered you somehow after a breakup/tough situation.
Grace by Jeff Buckley.

21. A non-English song, preferably a foreign-language version of an English hit.
Segalanya. Taken from Mariah Carey's My All. Specially reworked for AIM '04 sung by Siti, Misha, Ning. Sarah and Liza. Brilliant.

22. A song you find incredibly sexy.
Natahniel Merriweather's Stroker Ace. Pop-debauchery at it's best.
