...so my friend Miko was telling me about this radio station he listens to where listeners call in and give the station 10 songs that would make up the soundtrack to their life - which the radio then plays. I think that's kinda cool. Unless your life was one big heavy metal concert. Here's what I think the soundtrack to my life is (so far anyway):
* "Quando, Quando, Quando" - Engelbert Humperdinck. Some of my earliest memories are my Dad playing his greatest hits in the car (Red VW Kombi van). We listened to that tape A LOT. It may have been the only tape my Dad had.
* "Take On Me" - A-ha. My older sister played them incessantly growing up.
* "Better The Devil You Know" - Kylie Minogue. I could name about 20 Kylie songs that had an impact but this was probably the first.
* "It's No Crime" - Babyface. The song my first dance group danced to in Year 10 (Sophmore year for you Americans). I'm cringing just thinking about the dance, but that year pretty much defined my high school experience.
* "Electric Youth" - Debbie Gibson. I was OBSESSED with Debbie (and Tiffany) in HS. Her concert in 1989 was also the first concert I went to. And I got to touch her hand outside the State Theatre!
* "Selling The Drama" - Live. The rock song that marked my appreciation of live instruments.
* "Do You Miss Me (12" Freestyle Mix)" - Jocelyn Enriquez. If I had to choose one song that makes me think of all the trips I've taken, it'd be this one. I think it was Seattle in 96 (97? 98?) when it was played on repeat everywhere we went. It irritated Joy so much that she hid the record.
* "Above The Clouds (Thunderpuss Remix)" - Amber. My ultimate gay club anthem. The first time I heard it was probably the first time I was comfortable with who I am (i.e. one big gay disco biscuit)
* "Whenever, Wherever, Whatever" - Maxwell. The first and last heartbreak. 'Nuff said.
* "Heaven (Candlelight Mix)" - DJ Sammy. The first song Matt and I danced to. (Stop gagging Joy! It's OK to be sappy!)
Speaking of sappy, I keep meaning to post up ALL of my photo albums and I swear I will soon...but in the meantime, here are pics from New Years Eve 2004 and pics from Matty's 30th Birthday. Enjoy!
