Ok so your life is a movie and you have to select 10 tracks to go on the soundtrack. What will they be? You can use your own songs or unknown artists or insanely overpopular bands.. or scratch your head and wonder to yourself how stupid Adrya can be at times. whatever.. i'll post mine later. :o)

ok this wouldn't make such a great mix tape but i chose these songs not for how they'd sound together but because they are memorable or somehow speak about my life expereinces so far. I could have included a bunch more but i set my limit at 10... errr.. ok 11.

1) Crazy World of Author Brown - Fire ( my first step in the "wrong direction" haha. my brothers had this but i played it as much as i could much to the dismay of my mom who hadn't yet become hyper-religious )

2) Beatles - Yellow Submarine ( because my brothers used to play this all the time when it came out and i blame them for it still being stuck in my head. )

3) Kiss - Rock-n-Roll All Night (loved kiss when i was a kid, brought their records to show & tell )

4) Go-Go's - We Got the Beat ( the go-gos were my absolute favorite band in the early 80's. one of the neighborhood kids tried to tell me they didn't play their instruments and even then i was smarter than that.. i was like no way they *do* play their instruments and very good too! )

5) Gary Numan - Metal ( the Cars/Metal 7" was one of the first I bought with my own money. I loved Cars of course but Metal was my favorite. funny thing is part of that song spoke about me in ways I was too young to understand ).

6) Dead Kennedy's - Viva Las Vegas ( this was the first punk song I ever heard way back in 1988 and it stirred an interest in punk-rock that hasn't faded to this day )

6.5) D.I.- Richard Hung Himself ( i listened to this countless times when watching Suburbia at UGA's media library.. its such a kick ass song and dark lyrically and somewhat musically too. my interest in DI & TSOL's songs on Suburbia foreshadowed a developing fascination with dark punk/ deathrock /gothic music ).

7) Vomit Thrower - If Punk has Died ( yes this is one of my old bands.. i wrote it because i was sick and tired of some of my friends saying i was a loser for getting into punk because it was dead. punk was brand fucking new to me and i so related to punk ideology & music. i felt like my friend's were getting old because of their attitudes.. haha and i was right! so that song was written about others saying what i was feeling and playing wasn't true or real )

8) Christian Death - Spiritual Cramp ( this wasn't the first deathrock music I'd listened to but Only Theatre of Pain impacted my underground music life the most. i thought rozz sounded like an old woman singing creepy assed lyrics to some of the most bizzarre punk music i'd ever heard. i immediately fell in love with the record and wore out two cassette tapes i'd made of this and Autopsy by 45 Grave ).

9) Concrete Blonde - True ( Johnette co-writes music for CB but her lyrics are also why I keep going back to this fabulous band. She's spoken to me in ways she'll never know, but then I think she does because a lot of people who really relate to her songs feel the same. she has a ministering quality to her storytelling, especially in songs like True which is one of those songs that i listen to and feel an instant boost of energy when I'm feeling down )

10) Cinema Strange - Catacombe Kittens ( a couple years ago I'd almost given up on modern music.. i hated what goth had become not only in so-called christian 'goth' circles but at regular goth clubs too. After a breif fascination with Visual Kei music I found out about Cinema Strange who happened to be american.. I don't remember the first CS song I heard.. maybe Lindsey's Trachea but whichever it was changed my whole perspective about modern music. i had no idea this style was listened to much less created anymore. So they are completely responsible for my renewed interest in dark punk /deathrock music. a couple years later i got to see them play at Drop Dead in new york and they were such an incredible band to watch on stage and were really nice people to meet in person too! )

I'm sorry I missed Cinema Strange back in August in NYC. I found out about it after the fact.

Funny thing was, I saw a car with Virginia plates on it that said: 'DETHROCK1'.
I thought that was really cool.. I think it was the same weekend CS was playing so they must have driven up from there.

oh cool.. i have a Farscape themed plate on mine. we only have 7 letters here so that limits us a little.. maybe D-ROCK would be cool.. but then nobody would get it except us OLD people. lol.
