Music Survey, posted at 3:52 p.m.
Epiphany in Baltimore has moved to epiphanyinbaltimore.blogspot.com Fun little survey I copied from Barenaked's site:1. Favorite music?: singer-songwriter stuff, usually. I'm more of a lyrics person than anything - I love poetry, love hearing singers sing their own stuff. Anything passionate - I love love songs, songs about social injustice, and songs whose lyrics alone could be great poems. I also enjoy jazz and blues. My newest favorite musical style is neo-soul.
1.5 Favorite artists/bands? Brenda Kahn, Weezer, Counting Crows, Suzanne Vega, Sinead O'Connor, Wally Pleasant, Ben Harper, Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Buckley, Melissa Ferrick, Dan Bern, Ani DiFranco, Kristin Plater, Nirvana, Juliana Hatfield, Maggie Estep, Macy Gray, Erykah Badu, John Mayer, Harry Chapin, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, Alanis Morissette, Patty Griffin, Old 97's, Wilco, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, 19 Wheels, Soul Asylum, Tracy Chapman, Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, Violent Femmes, The Murmurs,
2. Do you enjoy concerts?: Love them
3. What was the last/next concert you (have/will) attended?: last: Melissa Ferrick/Dan Bern at Fletcher's on 11/16... I don't have a next one planned :(
4. Music you couldn't live without?: Probably Brenda Kahn. Although the rest of the planet seems to do a pretty good job of living without her (why isn't this woman a star?)
5. Kind of music that would fall off the face of the earth and you wouldn't care nor miss it?: death metal
6. About how many CDs do you own?: It's been a while since I attempted to count. I'd guess 1200.
