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?

Date: 2006-06-13 11:30 am (UTC)"I lost my love on a 747" Tom Paxton
This sixties protester mixed in a lot of nonsense with his Guthriesque ban the bomb ballads, and this is one of the best.
"A case of you" Joni Mitchell
Joni is very rarely off any one of my musical devices and this one encapsulates her disillusionment with everlasting love perfectly.
"Living dead girl" Rob Zombie
I like this one because it reminds me of the time my friend and I turned a shower of chav shit into an amazing CyberPunk show routine.
"Aisha" Death in Vegas
Just love the pounding background and trance inducing riffs..or was that due to something else.
"At seventeen" Janice Ian
Life growing up in Fishguard.All the lyric is relevant. BTW went to class reunion on Saturday. Drank way too much and threw up on my new red stillettoes. Everyone else was being a grown up.
