davywavyThe Metro newspaper carries a regular feature called 'My iPod', in which negligible celebrities (like the fourth person voted off Big Brother a few years ago) are asked to choose half a dozen tracks from their MP3 player and give a short description of them. I thought - "Gosh, now there's an idea with livejournal written all over it."
My iPod.
VNV Nation - Perpetual
The only good song from matter and Form, perpetual makes up for the consistent mediocrity of the rest of the album. Real get up & go music, and uplifting to boot!
Utah saints - Reptile's Theme
I've never found a DJ willing to play this as a request, and I've found few enough willing to even admit they own it. This is probably a good thing, as the way I dance It'd probably kill me.
This is the track I play when I'm using the punchbag at the gym and I've never, not once, made it all the way through.
Johnny Cash - Hurt
A song which, when sung by whiney ol' Trent Reznor or some self conscious 19-year old goth trying to be meaningful, is just plain risible but becomes really moving when sung by a man who'd seen and done everything you can imagine and was two months from death.
Van Halen - Jump
The first few notes are enough to make me smile. I always wanted to grow up to be Dave Lee Roth when I was little. I think I probably still do.
AC/DC - Who made who
Adaptations of Stephen King books traditionally suck, and Maximum Overdrive was no exception. Fortunately it had a great soundtrack. I love AC/DC because they're such traditional foot-stomping honky-tonk transferred to lead guitar and given smutty lyrics. What more could anyone ask for?
Angus Young founded the band when he was 14 years old - the reason the school uniform is his schitck is because he started out by going straight from school to play without having time to change.
Icon of Coil - Everlasting
The song I was dancing to when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vulgarcriminal coined the word "Davercising" to describe my dancing and suggested I make my own exercise video.
So, kids - why not post your selections?

"The Gallifreyan Buccaneer" - Colin Baker. I have a huge soft spot for Six. I seriously think if he hadn't been shafted by the BBC he would easily have eclipsed the other Baker in the popular imagination as The Doctor. Plus he's the Sci-fi Geek's Sci-fi Geek. This song is from the semi-musical Doctor Who and The Pirates Big Finish Audio Adventure, and it's hilarious. Gotta love a man who's not afraid to extract his own urine.
"Big Dumb Sex" by Soundgarden - full of obscene language and lewd suggestion. A song for the not-easily-embarrassed to sing very loudly when they feel horny.
"History Repeating" by Shirley Bassey and the Propellerheads - remixed as the theme tune for Graham Norton's channel four show, and also used in a Jaguar advert, this is a nice little danceable track.
"In The Hands of Death (Burn, Baby, Burn)" by Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper - showcasing the usual Cooper dark humour with the beats of Zombie, this collaboration was fangirl heaven the first time I heard it.
"She's Got Issues" by the Offspring - Another hilarious one. "You've told me a thousand times how your father left and he's gone, but I wish you wouldn't call me "daddy" when we're gettin' it on..."
"It's Yer Money I'm After, Baby" by the Wonderstuff - Yeah, so the playlist is set to comedy today - "Don't give me love, oh no none of that stuff, cos it's yer money I'm after baby"
