   *Notes:
   1. It doesn't really fit in with much else I listen to, but this is probably one of my twenty favorite albums (especially if I can add the Tab...25 EP as bonus tracks, but that would be cheating). Psychedelic Grunge? Equal parts Woodstock and Soundgarden, If 60s were 90s. With a dash of glam-metal for the strutting self-importance.
   3. Best Dub track of the last decade? Ever? This is so great.
   4. Something I did back in College, basically I beat-boxed some sounds and looped them over themselves at different speeds with a few effects. Not awesome, but not awful. Maybe I'll share this some day.
   5. I was a big fan of Fila Brazillia, a downtempo trip-hop outfit from Hull, back in the late 90s. (See #8.) So I've listened to this Radiohead more than anything else, excepting possibly "Creep".
   6. Damn!

   1. "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" is one of my very favorite songs from the 90s.

      1. Have you listened to any more of the album? I mean that was definitely the single to release but they have so many other great songs on it.

         I feel Wyndorf got just a little too jokey after the album, which is why I find Dopes to be their peak.
         Their earliest stuff didn't have the pop skills.

         I saw them live at an Edgefest (93 or 94). Dave Wyndorf broke his guitar, climbed onto the fan barricade (there was a 5-10 foot security trench before the stage), handed the guitar to some kids and does a Jesus Christ Pose standing on the barricade while being pelted with mud.

         I saw them once since then, they had Kid Rock opening up weeks before he crossed over.

         1. I listened to it once or twice I think, and it was in the last handful of years. I wasn't allowed to buy "explicit lyrics" CDs or tapes growing up so I never heard it at that time. I remember being surprised with how much I liked it, but I don't recall a lot about it, unfortunately. I'll have to give it another spin when I feel like going on a 90s bender again soon.

            1. Mine didn't have a warning sticker: Production error at BMG?
               Still had a naked red woman.
               Still had the lyrics

10. Not my list, and apparently has been around for a few years, but kind of funny and new to me:

    It’s one of the quintessential (and sometimes dreaded) first date questions: What kind of music are you into?
    There’s a reason that most people tend to side-step this question with a deft, “A little bit of everything.” It’s because your taste in music reveals a lot about you to potential partners.

    A few of my favorites:

    The Arcade Fire: You spend the first third of a relationship in a romantic frenzy and the last two trying to justify it.

    Cat Stevens: You had a glorious youth.

    Red Hot Chili Peppers: You’re not super-interesting, but you’re nice enough and you’re certainly not going anywhere, so…

    Tool: You’re either really smart or really dumb.

    Charles Mingus: You’re cool as hell.

    Thelonious Monk: You’re cool as hell. Even though you’re wearing mismatched socks.

    Daft Punk: Depends. You’re either prone to “raging” in the sense of “partying a lot” or in the sense of “throwing your X-Box controller on the floor and smashing it with your purple Sam Jackson lightsaber replica.”

    The Clash: You’re willing to work for it, but you’re kind of pissed that you have to.

    Here’s the rest:

And a nerdy one at that. Led Zeppelin: If you’re a woman, you’re hot. If you’re a guy, you’re average. AC/DC: If you’re a woman, you’re the kind of person who lets a guy move in with you after three dates because he’s temporarily homeless. If you’re a guy, you’re temporarily homeless. My Chemical Romance: You’re not so much looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend as someone to share a “fuckyeahsuperheroeskissing” Tumblr with. The Pixies: Relax. You’re cool. Talking Heads: You’re a good person. Stevie Wonder: You’re husband/wife material. Hall and Oates: You’re not the type to let your wistful nature ruin your good time.

The Rolling Stones: You’re hot. Rihanna: You’re hot. Beyonce: You’re sweet, but not a pushover. Britney Spears: If you’re a gay guy or a woman, you’re normal. If you’re a straight guy, you’re trying to get laid. Mandy Moore: You have American Girl dolls. Plural. Guns N Roses: You’re going to have to sex in the bathroom and regret it.

Peter Gabriel: Every relationship is a coming-of-age epic of which you are the star. Leonard Cohen: You’re the kind of person that people get obsessed with for years. Too bad you’re too depressed to appreciate it. TV on the Radio: You care. Deeply. Even if you act like you don’t.

Cut Copy: You make out in public a lot. Joni Mitchell: You make breakfast in the morning. Wilco: You’ll make an excellent life-partner. The Beatles: Eh. Who knows. Coldplay: Missionary position only.

Billy Joel: You know exactly what you’re doing. Green Day: You get upset over nothing all the time, but bounce back quickly. Justin Timberlake: You seem really lame at first, then turn out to be awesome. Weezer: Awkward. And proud of it. Prince: You’re a little weird, but you make up for it by being a total sex machine. U2: You’re very loving, but prone to fits of irritating self-righteousness. The Who: You’re a generally open, curious person, but you get really riled up when people cut you in line and stuff. Sinatra: It bugs you that people aren’t classier these days. Lupe Fiasco: You wrestle with moral dilemmas but never at the expense of your chill demeanor. Mos Def: You’re straightforward.

John Coltrane: Deeply introspective. Brahms: You’re sensitive but guarded. Beethoven: You’re guarded but sensitive. Stravinsky: You’re romantic. Sometimes aggressively so. Mozart: Smartypants. And here are a few of my favorites from our readers: From Glow420: Jack Johnson: chill and easy going, allowing the relationship to take a natural path (versus rushing into anything) From Anon: Jack Johnson: You think you’re chill and easygoing, but really you’re just afraid of commitment. From Tina Starr: Nine Inch Nails: You’re kinky and and have lots of angry sex. From Javier Ordonez: Pink Floyd: Your alcohol/substance use prevented you from making it to the date, but the hours spent in heavy contemplation left you a better person. For now.

11. Jack Johnson: You think you’re chill and easygoing, but really you’re just afraid of commitment.

    The last time I listened to Jack Johnson was quite a commitment.

    1. The last time I listed to Jack Johnson was the Curious George soundtrack with my 2-year-old kid...neither one of us cared much for it.

12. Peruvian pan flute in the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe.

    1. Nine to go!
