a song that reminds you of schoolRyan Paris - Dolce Vita
best Beatles songThe Beatles - A Day In The Life
best concert you ever attendedThe Cramps
At Roskilde. In the early 90s. Not exactly the best concert I eever saw, but more correctly the scariest. It was very dangerous and totally slamming.
your boozed up anthemDinosaur L - Go Bang
Ganim's Asia Minors - Daddy Lolo
Embryo - Radio Marrakesch
When drunk: «Go Bang»; when pissed: «Radio Morrocco»; when passing out: «Daddy Lolo».
a song guaranteed to make you feel depressedChris De Burgh - The Lady In Red
And that awful «fuck you» song by Rage Against The Machine.
record you were looking for the longest
Still have not found those...
a record you fell in love toWham! - Fantastic (LP)
I don't think I fell in love with someone specific to it, but I can recall it being the soundtrack to a particular time when my male hormones really started to grow out of control. I remember it being a perfect soundtrack for those times.
first record you rememberTrond-Viggo Torgersen - Det Var En Gang
Torgersen is a famous doctor and comedian over here. «Det Var En Gang» is a children's song that used to crack me up when I was about four or five. I remember laughing while laying on my head on my parent's couch listening to this on a 7". It's got lyrics that deal with sounds mixed with words and that was what I found funny, and in a way my first sonically psychedelic experience.
the song to be played at your funeralBee Gees - Stayin' Alive
Then I’d prefer that my favorite DJ – whoever that will be then – would play a proper set of my favourite tunes to a crowd of my best friends dancing and continuing on...
a song that evokes the greatest summer of your lifeThe Orb - Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld
your ultimate heartbreak songGustav Mahler - Fifth Symphony
perfect anthem for OsloOst & Kjex feat. Mungolian Jetset - Milano Model
your party anthemNuyorican Soul - It’s Alright (I Feel It!)
first record you boughtQueen - Play The Game
a song that reminds your friends of youGanim's Asia Minors - Daddy Lolo
Ganim's Asia Minors is an obscure, possibly persian/turkish group from the early sixties. «Daddy Lolo» is indeed a bonkers but utterly charming tune. It's from one of those «Jungle Exotica» compilations that came out in the nineties. This song should conclude my funeral too.
a song you wish you'd written yourselfEden Ahbez - Nature Boy
The Beatles - Yesterday
For the wallet: «Yesterday»; for sheer excellence: «Nature Boy».
