Today I bring you Thirteen very special songs. Call it "mood" music if you will. Certain songs that would be my choice for certain real life and purely imaginary situations. These would be my choices!
1. My current Karaoke Rock Goddess Wish I Was Pat Benetar sing along whilst driving,
Axium - Callout.
2. If your mama here ever went the pole dancer route this would so be my song as it is seriously tasty funk. White Zombie - Boogie Man
3. I love to cook. It's like therapy for me and I have a particular weakness for French and Italian food. Which must be why my favorite music to cook by comes from an Irishman. Van Morrison - Into The Mystic
4. Road Rage. Who hasn't felt it? And when you are on the road and pondering if life in jail would really be *that* bad, nothing beats Korn - Twisted Transistor.
5. Sometimes I just feel a little like I missed 60B and get myself into a funk. When that happens it is time to wallow with I Nine -Same In Any Language
6. My all time favorite stare at a tropical ocean view song is, hands down, Moby - Porcelain.
7. I can lower my blood pressure and calm down from virtually any irritant by listening to The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
8. But sometimes I don't want to calm down. Sometimes humanity just plain pisses me off. For those days I go with Get Set Go - Die Motherfucker Die. (It's a pretty little song in actuality!)
9. To fall asleep there is nothing better than Enya in general and Orinoco Flow in particular. This was kidlet's bedtime music from birth to 8. And since I have not ripped Enya to my computer yet, YouTube to the rescue!
10. What do I wake up to everyday? Well my cell phone is my alarm and every morning I wake up to The Bononator telling me it will be A Beautiful Day - U2
11. Now the burning question in everyone's mind is "What does Starr, vintage goth that she is, most like to wear black to?" Trick question since I wear black virtually every day. But for our special occasions only the sisters will do, Sisters of Mercy -Temple of Love the 1992 Remix featuring Ofra Hazra.
12. What music do I like to break up to? There's a deep questions. Now I have been through my share of breakups and I can honestly say Sheryl Crow's The Globe Session album covers it all. Sheryl Crow - It Don't Hurt live featuring The Dixie Chicks.
The electric man looks good today
Maybe not, but I'm trying hard
Trying hard to feel that way
The electric man's a good place to start.
13. And finally what is my favorite background while I am reading and or writing music? Jazz. Hands down. Billie Holiday is going to represent here for us with Come Rain Or Come Shine.

an eclectic combination, not that I am surprised in the least
I suffer from musical multiple personalities =)
Eclectic was the word in my head when I hit the comment button...and of course, Sparky already used it...
How a girl brought up by hippies is so into head-banging...well that is a thesis for another day!
#'s 6, 7 and 12 are a few of my all time favorite songs! I am in love with Moby, and actually choreographed a dance to one of his songs a few years ago.
Great list. Thanks for putting the time into that!
Happy TT!
It is kinda funny some of the stuff I have stumbled upon. I did not grow up with The Allmans, Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, or Pink Floyd and yet....
But my dad is a massive headbanger. We used to watch MTV together. Mom worked evenings so we would get pizza and sample "Beers of the World" and watch videos. He's into Tool and Korn and Ammen Areth (Scandinavian hardcore metal) and ACDC....
Dad is cool =)
Allison you have superb taste =)
Multiple music personalities rule, girlfriend. It's part of what keeps us sane.
I love #3, when of the best mood songs out there. Sitting On The Dock of the Bay is too. Great list of some great music.
Happy TT!

Yup, yup - eclectic. Knowing you, that's not a surprise.
Oh, and I would love having the Bono Vox waking me every morning. *grin*
Can't say anything here, the house is still sleeping and music would wake them up, lol !
Sorry, I couldn't get past #2 and the idea of you pole dancing.
Hey, I'm male, what did you expect?
:)
That would be a pretty intense song to strip - or rather "pole dance" - to, though.
LOL! Yeah well that is the imaginary portion I mentioned. And I love the fact that it is intense. My personality is such that I don't doo Care Bears and Rainbows that well :0
I am a big fan of Enya. Have you ever listened to Loreena McKennitt? Love her, you might like her too. Cheers!!
Oh yes, Lorena is awesome. She is part of the Lullaby Trinity. Sarah McLachlan, Enya, and Lorena. With some Corrs tossed in for fun.
Matt you should check out a 60's band called Pentagle. Bond probably has heard of them.
Who needs iTunes? I love the mashup you have thrown down onto this page. My productivity at work has just plummeted as I have now gone to YouTube to search out video after video. This post needs a mix made after it.
Why thank you! I have to admit I burn waaaay too many mix cd's. It's an addiction.
Did someone say The Corrs?
Love The Corrs. When The Stars Go Blue live with Bono is one of my all time favorite songs.
I love it that you're all over the musical map with your life's soundtrack.
