Bandolero by Day

Just the one.

Well, there are others, but they are infidels who will die by my mighty fist, or perhaps I'll just make faces at them. At any rate, I have interview answers! You see, I was waiting for all and sundry to FORGET about them, and... well, no. I had no such nefarious plans. I never have plans, let alone nefarious ones.

Anyway, interview meme, and so forth, you can still request questions if you want some, much Pez to nobara and skyfrog for their questions, respectively. <3 It's heart-shaped Pez.

( First the Daves... )

( ...and then the Hakkais. )

Step 1: Open your MP3 player.
Step 2: Put all of your music on random.
Step 3: Write down the first fifteen fifty songs it plays, no matter how embarrassing.

With commentary, because I like the cut of neherenia's jib!

1. Eve 6 - Think Twice Despite my utter lack of relationship woes, due in no small part to my utter lack of relationships, I love this song. It's so good, it makes me want to HAVE relationship woes, so that I can sit and stew in my anger while listening to this song. It also reminds me of Juri and Shiori from Shoujo Kakumei Utena, which works so well as a segueway...
2. Kamiya Maki - VIRTUAL STAR hasseigaku Why was this the second ED when it clearly would've been the COOLEST DUEL THEME ever? In 9th grade, I think, I had the lyrics to this song along with some embryonic Utena figure I drew on the front of one of my folders. Painful memories of mko and I trying to sing the high parts in Spanish class go here.
3. Rubyhorse - Any Day Now A *beautiful* song that I never once heard on the radio. The only place I ever heard it was in Albertson's, when I worked there about a year ago.
4. Dirty Vegas - Days Go By (Full Vocal Mix) I LOVED the video to this song. Dancing car girl, not so much.
5. Pérotin - Notre Dame Organum (Alleluia) Because "Medieval quadruple organum" is about the most intelligent musically-related thing I'll ever be able to say or explain.
6. Joe Pleiman - Zelda You know that "When Link saves the day HALLELUJAH" song that everyone thinks was done by System of a Down? Nope. Joe Pleiman.
7. Umm... unknown. Okay, I found this song after doing a "Lothlorien" search on Kazaa back in the day, but I have no idea what the artist or title is. It's really quite lovely, though.
8. Dave Matthews Band - Crush The best part of this song is definitely the chorus. It makes me want to ballroom dance. "crazy / thinking / just knowing that the world is round / and here I'm dancing on the ground / am I right-side up or upside down? / and is this real or am I dreaming?"
9. Utada Hikaru - hikari -PLANITb Remix (short version) I really like this song, but I think I might actually like the English version better. Yes, yes, that goes against all my crazed otaku principles, but there ye go.
10. Rainbow Butt Monkeys - Circles I love the guitars in this one. Thank you, liich! <3 <3 <3
11. The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony Isn't it funny that there was a band called "The Verve" and a band called "The Verve Pipe" out at the exact same time, and then we never heard from either of them again? Funny.
12. Homestar Runner - CGNU Fightsong And The Cheat will hit stuff with a golf club! See! Gee! In! ...You. "Me?"
13. Yamane Mai - Blue I cry at the end of Cowboy Bebop EVERY TIME and I blame it largely on this song. And the star that disappears from the sky. And the "You're gonna carry that weight" at the end. And the song lyrics with their "everything is clearer now / life is just a dream you know / that's never ending / I'm ascending" Damn you, Cowboy Bebop!
14. They Might Be Giants - Boss of Me (live version) Did you know that the flash of anime they show in the original opening sequence for "Malcolm in the Middle" is from Nazca? It is. Trivia, yay.
15. Tenacious D - Wonderboy How about the power to kill a yak, from 200 yards away... WITH MIND BULLETS??? (that's telekinesis, Kyle)
( The rest are cut out of concern for your friends page aesthetics. )

Your questions, as requested!

( This was SUPAR hard, as I can think of a gazillion things to ask you. I'll keep it down to five for now. )

I haven't done a survey in ages, so I've decided to complete one in typical Z fashion. That is: make fun of the survey I spent an hour taking, honestly answer only 5% of the questions, answer the rest with completely off-topic information or comments that are meant to be amusing but aren't, accomplish nothing.

Here, I'll get you started.

( Unique - I have one of 18,000 black shirts that read 'You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because you're all the same.' No, NO, I'M LYING. I don't have that shirt! I was pointing out the irony!! )

1) Portland, Oregon (home of Forest Park... which sounds like a location in Elfland, but... 5 inches of snow? Jesus, dude...)
2) Eugene, Oregon (another in Oregon?)
3) Las Vegas, Nevada (oh yeah, baby! YEAH!)
4) Alexandria, Louisiana (points just for the name, more points based on the single inch of snow)
5) San Bernardino, California (no snow, in California... Z likes...)
6) Baltimore, Maryland (good: Otakon, lies east of the Mississippi like most my online comrades, bad: 18 friggin inches of snow... we don't get 18 inches of RAIN in Phoenix)
7) Corvallis, Oregon (this place has a festival dedicated to da Vinci! ROCK!)
8) Salem, Oregon (someone really wants me in Oregon)
9) Charleston, West Virginia (26... inches... of... snow...??)
10) Albuquerque, New Mexico (sweet! that place is like Phoenix, but with less smog!)

Extras...

Phoenix is the 6th largest city in the U.S.? Since when?

Little Rock was number 12. (???) Honolulu was 15. (!!!)

Coolest city name EVAR goes to #21: Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.

...and I got a shitload of more cities in Oregon.
