Today on my break at work I sat in the kitchen area and scrolled through Twitter for ten minutes, as I usually do. I was particularly struck this afternoon by how much of my feed was made up of a particular kind of interaction; flirtatious back and forth, empathetic hugs and metaphorical hair- stroking, requests…
14. A song you’d love to be played at your wedding [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzwGfP98vGM&w=560&h=315] LOL, I’m never getting married.
12. A song from your pre- teen years [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfCg50a7RbE&w=560&h=315] I was a massive fan of the Pet Shop Boys in my late tweens. Massive, huge, obsessive. We spent our holidays at my Grandparents’ house in Germany in the summer of 1987 and then drove home via Belgium, France and Italy. I listened to ‘Paninaro’…

11. A song that you never tire of [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-FXMPU4Uj0&w=560&h=315] It reminds me of being a teenager but in the best way- that point when you realise that there’s this whole world of strange adult shit that you don’t understand but might do soon.

I mean, I can’t drive? So I don’t really know how to answer to this one. 7. A song to drive to [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v7CPzuGwRA&w=560&h=315] I do know one thing- I like being driven. This summer I had a short- lived but very sweet, quite intense friendship thing with a pointlessly handsome young man. He is…
6. A song that makes you want to dance [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeYUTbU_iTw&w=560&h=315] I mean, for this one there are a LOT of songs that come to mind, because I am a Dancer with a capital D. I mean, not trained or anything like that, but dancing is one of my things- in that, like writing or…
This is a meme I can get behind.
5. A song that needs to be played loud. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdJ5e70Q8mw&w=560&h=315] When Adam Yauch died it felt to me as if there was really only one way to pay tribute to him and everything he had given us- opening the window, sticking this on, and turning it up LOUD. And then happy crying, because how…
So I’m jiggling things around a bit for this one: I don’t want to write about a song that reminds me of someone I’d rather forget. I feel like that’s a bit close to the bone right now, so I’m not gonna. I’m going to swap this question out for number 28: 4/ 28. A…
