I was drooling around on iTunes recently and decided to thumb through some of the celebrity playlists. Let me just say, Sly Stallone's track list is everything I hoped it might be. Anyway, if I were famous, this is what you'd be dying to find out I listen to . . .
- Batman Theme Song, Danny Elfman. I’ve listened to this before every test I’ve taken through my college and graduate career, and I haven’t ever outright failed one I attended. There was the French final I completely slept through, but even that turned out better than I could have possibly imagined . . .
- Bye Bye Blackbird, Miles Davis. It’s called auditory heroin. I can't get enough of it! But seriously, I love this song, totally chills me out.
- Dancing Across the Water, Dave Matthews. This is the favourite of my many so called ‘drug songs.’ My parents started to wonder when I began getting into Pink Floyd, Nick Drake and Jefferson Airplane (before they went Starship). Another great chill-out song.
- No Leaf Clover, Metallica. When I need to get angry, this is a good song to go along for the ride.
- Against the Wind, Bob Seager. A classic about growing up the hard way. Not that I’d know, but I’ve heard lots of crazy stories and I like to pretend.
- Body, Presidents of the
- Where the Streets Have No Names, U2. Clichés are cliché because they changed everything at one time or another. A paradigm shift, if you will (Michelle!). If you don’t get goosies when you hear the opening guitar riff, check for a pulse.
- Oh! Darling, The Beatles. One of my fav’s from possibly their greatest album. Just a strait forward lil’ ditty, but I used to belt it out when I was listening to it on vinyl, age 8.
- Requiem, Mozart. It’s worth your time to listen to all the way through. When I think about the fact that dude wrote the music for his own funeral, the reality that genius has its price begins to sink in.
- One Day More, Les Misérables. I’ve always thought it would be an unbelievable experience to be in the cast of a musical, and Les Mis is as smokin’ a musical as any. The highlight of any good show for me is the montage piece, and this one is thick with story lines weaving and dodging. And when they all come to unison at the end . . . *ah* It would make wearing stage makeup worth it. Almost.

I totally agree about Streets. I can't believe they were our age when they wrote that...
We wrote the pancake song . . . c'mmon. We're right there.
I forgot to mention the song Linda and Jaquie sang last Sunday was Pie Jesu. It's not in Mozart's requiem, but it was incredible. Jaquie's voice actually made me shiver.
We need to start putting some of our stories down.
I wonder if we could arrange the Pancake Song for Opera? . . .
woah- I'm a huge fan of 1, 2, 5, 7,9,10. Do a little re-arranging and I've got all the odds...but not even...;)
Hmmm. I am in quite a perdicament, whereas I usually really like the mixes you and Christy have at your place---but as for your top 10's... eh....
But what I really want to know is if you would really like to be famous. I suppose I didn't see you as the fame and glory type... :)
-M.
And, importantly, what do you guys think about Fresno Dome??? :)
So what's your top 10 that's so great, Mish? Huh? Huh??!?!?! But I guess that question goes for everyone. Celerity playlists from my celebrity friends?
I dunno if I'd like to be famous. To me it seems a bit like saying I'd like to fly . . . never gonna happen so I might as well imagine it as pleasant as possible and say yes. Yes I would like to be famous.
