Who could say no to this!

Ok so contrary to some expectations this blog has not passed the way of the dodo, at least not yet. I’ve just been taking an extended break due to some unforeseen circumstances but came out of retirement due to Rythmic’s tagging of me for the Movie Quiz, so here goes! 

1. CD or vinyl – really neither, I do like how my CD collection used to look on my shelves, but these days everything musical I won is on various computers, DVDs (as back up) and my trusty iPod.

2. An album you’ve been meaning to listen to – all the Super Furry Animals albums (Fuzzy Logic, Guerilla, Rings around the World) which I’ve listened to but not as thoroughly as I should.

3. Grammys - Important or a load of bollocks – bollocks, well bollocks most of the time

4. Your favourite album is – rather unsurprisingly “Final Straw” by Snow Patrol closely followed by “Leftism” by Leftfield, both of which I have to thank for an indelible image of a pair of long brown legs in a frilly black mini that comes to mind whenever I play either album.

5. Invite 10 Music people for dinner. Who will it be? That would be Gary Lightbody, Morissey, Paul Oakenfold, the boys from Asian Dub Foundation (who would count as one), Kaskade, Nirmala (used to sing for Controller.Controller), Jay-Z (to pick his business brains), Russell Simmons (same reason as before), Nicole & Melody from the Pussycat Dolls (OK, I’ll admit the’re eye candy, the former is the hottest thing I have ever seen in my life and the latter looks remarkably like a girl I dated for a minute in grad school).

6. Appropriate punishment for those who play Celine Dion’s "My heart will go on" while pretending that it’s still 1998 –abduction and anal probing by Celine’s alien crewmates and then made to live in the north of Canada.

7. Choose your favourite instrument and its best player from your point of view. Hmm….guitar I guess and the best for that would be Santana.

8. The one piece of music that can move you to tears – Jason Donovan, “sealed with a kiss” moves me to tears, followed shortly by nausea and violent contractions of my small intestine (thank ITN in the early nineties for this affliction).

9. You are an executive at a major label and have the power to green light one album a year. What would you do? – probably get Krishan and Randhir to collaborate, fine tune it for a global market, sell it and make me and them millions.

Hmmm….who should I tag, I guess I tag Evil, Rastiadu (who seems to have bloody good taste in music) and Venus(to try and bring her out of retirement!)…go forth and spout wisdom!

Or this!?
