I was sorta excited about the possible NKOTB reunion... sad, huh?
Right now, I'm listening to Cat Power's newest album.
I have met Ben Gibbard! He was very nice. (I'm not lying.)
I own more than 1 iPod... lucky me.
I do like Phil Collins! Did anyone hear him on This American Life? It was awesome.
Jeff owns more than 5 records, and he's my husband, so I guess I do too.
I did vote for Kelly! Ha.
Yep- I loved Sarah.
Always wanted to be a drummer.
I have many of my old mix cassette tapes.
I do get 1-2-3-4 stuck in my head- way too easily.
(Hey, I can play my own game, right?)
I did fall asleep during Once, but not because I didn't LOVE it! (I hated to admit that!)
I own many records. Probably 50.
I haven't showered yet, but I plan on singing.
I sing that Blondie song and chase them around the house. (Is that considered dancing?)
I definitely get 1-2-3-4 stuck in my head, and was sort of disappointed when I first heard it on the radio. I wanted that album to be a cool secret.
This was fun!

:Now listening to The Fall of Troy-very much in the prog rock real with Rush-ish vocals mixed with shrieking screams and heavy guitar. A very entertaining live act.
:I love Phil Collins-he was one of my first concerts.
:I do believe I have danced to "One Way or Another."
:I have guilty pleasure pop songs-though none are coming to mind at the moment.
:I have more cassette tapes then I know what to do with. I do have a tape player in my car, so when I'm not using my iPod, they tend to make an appearance, but I can't bear to get rid of them.
I meant "realm"
I meant "realm"
:excited is probably understated about the NKOTB reunion...seriously, I'd love to hear it! Why...because they practically defined my (and about 1 million others) childhood!
:2 iPods in the house!
:Yes, love Phil Collins..."you call me from the room,in your hotel. All the romance..."
:Sucker for some pop songs...why can't I get that crazy Umbrella song out of my head when I hear it!
Love your blog and your music choices, so I couldn't resist playing this game...

:When you start to count 1-2-3-4, you immediately start singing Feist’s song...doesn't everybody?
:"Changed my life" is probably an overstatement, but Radiohead was always a great reference when people asked me what kind of music I liked and it was the only one I could think of that they'd probably heard of!
:I haven't met Ben Gibbard, but I have seen DCFC perform in many a small space, pre-major record deal. I still think "We Have the Facts..." is one of the best albums ever.
:Yup, Jim is in a band. Even if they haven't played out in forever...
:Let's just say FM100 is a guilty pleasure of mine.
:No Lilith, but I LOVE "Ice Cream"!
:That Feist song is darn catchy.
I couldn't get into Joanna Newsom, much to my chagrin. Maybe the musical landscape was too varied?
I love Blondie. Don't know that I dance to "One Way Or Another" but I definitely sing it as if I were performing it.
I like lots of "indie" pop songs but a mainstream one that's constantly in my head is Iglesias' "Do You Know What It Feels Like?" thanks to Rob & Big. (Is that even pop?)
Right now I'm listening to a wonderful mix made my my friend Jo in Mexico. I am immensely satisfied by thinking of her putting it together in a far away land. I'm really liking one track called "Sentimental Heart" by She & Him.
Ha ha, I said yes to more of those than I am willing to admit!! GREAT LIST... I don't know if I am supposed to answer all of them.
Ali-the She & Him song features Zooey Deschanel as the lead vocals-fyi if you weren't already aware. I can't get enough of that song and wish she'd put more focus into music, though I love to see her in movies...
Thanks all for playing!
Zooey's also doing a record with M. Ward. There's a video of the duo singing on YouTube... sweet!
(I thought of Lacey being excited about New Kids reuniting)
I'm listening to Kanye West "Champion"
I own 2 iPods
I voted tons for Kelly Clarkson
I went to the Lilith Fair
I did a dance to Blondie with Black Gloves-horrible
I love Pop Songs!!

:“Once” has not been released in Mexico, i´m so looking forward to it!
:Radiohead DID change my life. when i first heard them i was like, YEAH!!!
:Right now… i´m listening to band of horses... i´m addicted...
:Your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse is in a band- No, but one time me and my friend Daniel told a really drunk guy at a wedding that we were in a band and it was called Belle & Sebastian, and I was Belle and my friend was Sebastian and he totally believed us.
:Today i got Cat Powers's Jukebox!!!
:When you start to count 1-2-3-4, you immediately start singing Feist’s song. OF COURSE!!!
Haven't met Ben Gibbard but I am really hoping for a Gibbard sighting here in Seattle.
I own 2 working iPods and one broken one. I've had the same iPod working since 2003. I am amazed and hope it keeps going strong for 5 more years.
I do secretly like Phil Collins especially his cover of True Colors??
I wanted to be a drummer ever since Rock Band became the highlight of 2007 for me.
