The analysis begins

So I've begun writing up the song analysis stuff for Carrie. (And Monstee, who apparently has an amazing Boobaholic theory. Do share!) ^_^

I've written up information on six songs. It took longer than I expected. I expect to append that link with the other four once they're finished.

Now to answer some pressing questions:

#1. The list: I have apparently left off the Ramones, Sisters of Mercy, Oingo Boingo, and They Might be Giants. Oh, and Rusty Knight reminded me I left off Ozzy, too. What's the deal with that? Well, let's see here. (1.) I grew up in a strict Southern Baptist family. I listened to lots of gospel music, a la The Gaither Family Circus (or whatever it's called). The most secular music I had was Mom's Barry Manilow cassette. Note of much importance: I am not insulting the Gaithers. I had a little brain fart, and could only think of the cartoon "Family Circus." So there's no malice intended. I left it because I'm lazy. /end Note of much importance

When I met Paul at 16 (1996), I listened to HIS parents' music: Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Guns 'n' Roses, Metallica, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, White Zombie, etc. But no Ramones, Sisters of Mercy, etc. In college, I found a lot of great women singer-songwriters. I also became a fan of TMBG(!), Too Much Joy and some random other stuff.

I grew up at a piano -- I started lessons at three. So, largely, my repertoire is classical or stuff I learned by ear. But you can't really analyze lyrics for a solo piano sonata.

#2. Psychologist Wannabe: I'll admit it, Monstee. I made an assumption -- which makes an ass out of u and mption. If you'd like to show me roadkill, I prefer squirrels and marmots. Yes, you can eat them when we're finished.

And, yes, since you brought it up -- I'd like to start a meme of other people's 10 most meaningful songs. You don't have to explain why, because I just found out that takes freaking forever.

Now on to something completely different. I'm off to slay baddies in City of Heroes. My main character is named Mary-Kate. Here's a picture of me gettin' down wit' my bad self. but I also have characters named SuperNub, Normal Norman, Spooky Joe and Catatonic. The last one's a healer that doubles as a furry -- Cat-a-tonic! Get it?

Here's a picture with a bunch of my teammates, and here's a link to the directory of photos. ^_^
