deebee's quiz!
Song I came out to: Depending on the which phase of coming out you mean, YMCA by the Village People (16 y.o. hears and understands but cannot put it into words), High School Confidential by Rough Trade ("damn, there's a more interesting vision for my life somewhere downtown!"), Wrap Your Arms Around Me by Agnetha Faltskog (during first gay sex).
First song I bought: Honky Cat, Elton John
Song embarrassed to Listen to at Home: I'm never embarrassed by anything I listen to. Okay, Jerry Herman, Mame.
Song that always brings me to tears: Ne me quitte pas, Jacques Brel.
Songwriter and/or album to listen to when blue: Joni Mitchell, Hejira
Awesome greatest hits record: Ella Fitzgerald, the Best of the Songbooks
Teenage music crushes: Arghh, can't remember! Wait, I'll think about it.
Remember when: I would stare at the pictures on the sleeves of live albums for hours and hours.
Artists who I bought everything they ever made:Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello, Thomas Dolby, XTC, Suzanne Vega, David Bowie (well, not the 80s stuff), Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Weill, more. I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to stay all retrospective-like or be in the moment.
When the world went cassette: I stuck with LPs, but started taping them so I wouldn't wear out the orginals.
When the world went CD: I did, too! First CD was Tom Waits' Rain Dogs.

Snake was a refugee in Austria when he bought his first CDs. He saved the meagre allowance they were given until he could buy ABBA in the shiny new digital format.
