A new music meme

[dolorosa_12]

A music meme, via kore. I'm sure that I've seen iterations of this back on Livejournal ten years ago where the songs had to be answered with titles solely from one band. I'm definitely not going to attempt that today!

A Place: Paul Kelly, 'From St. Kilda to Kings Cross'
A Food: The Knife, 'Lasagne'
A Drink: Massive Attack, 'Black Milk'
Animal: The Daysleepers, 'Release the Kraken' (hey, no one said it couldn't be a mythological animal!)
A Number: Massive Attack, 'Group Four'
Colour: Janelle Monáe, 'Pynk'
Boy's Name: Suzanne Vega, 'Luka'
Girl's Name: Elvis Costello, 'Alison'
Profession: Aqua, 'Doctor Jones'
A Vehicle: M83, 'Train to Pluton'

I'm happy to add links to any song you'd like.

NICE. I love Pynk!

I was going to go for 'Black and Blue' by Miike Snow, and then I thought, this list needs more Janelle Monáe...

[kore]

EVERYTHING needs more Janelle Monae. All the time!

Also, I think I remember the variation you mentioned, too, where all the songs had to be from one band. I think the version I saw used the Beatles, who at least have a big back catalogue.

When I saw it, you could pick any band and I used Massive Attack, because of course I did.

(And because I am very, very good at tagging, I managed to locate the old post, and discovered that it was song lyrics by one band you had to use, rather than titles.)

OMG, that's amazing (and also, awesome tagging skills!).

I have to say that I'm probably still as emotional and melodramatic as I was back in 2008, but I'd like to think I at least try to rein it in a bit in public. DESCRIBE YOUR CURRENT BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND OR INTEREST:
Eat me
In the space
Within my heart

Oh my God, 2008!Ronni. In my defence, Massive Attack have very melodramatic lyrics...
