01. Which song do you prefer, #1 or #40?
Gah. Hmm, for now, #1. Rediscovering my love for Akino <3

02. Have you ever listened to #12 continuously on repeat?
Nope, it's one of MELL's weakest songs.

03. What album is #26 from?
COPY.

04. What do you think about the artist who did #15?
She has such a wonderful voice, but it's sad that she's not going to continue to work with Yoko Kanno - honestly that's the only way she's gonna get more good songs given to her. Right now she's becoming one of those seiyuu singers who'll get buried under mediocre songs. Sad 'cause I really love her voice, and her works for Macross F shows her potential.

05. Is #19 one of your favorite songs?
Oh yeah, defo :D

06. Who does #38 remind you of?
Err. Otsuka Ai. I don't know why!

07. Does #20 have better lyrics or music?
Hmmm. I'm not too sure about that. Gonna go with music, since some of her lyrics are quite nonsensical, lol.

08. Do any of your friends like #3?
I'm not sure. They would have pretty good tastes in music if they do like them, as I do ;)

09. Is #33 from a movie soundtrack?
Nope.

10. Is #18 overplayed on the radio?
LOL, definitely not. God, Chobits <3

11. What does #21 remind you of?
Yoong Jin. D'oh.

12. Which song do you prefer, #5 or #22?
God, it's the battle between 2 Akino Arai songs, LOL. God there's a lot of her in this. #22 without a doubt, New World FTW!

13. What album is #17 from?
Map the Soul.

14. When did you first hear #39?
When I downl- I mean, acquired the album. LOL. Which was released a few months ago, so yeah who knows the exact date.

15. When did you first hear #7?
An LJ-er rec'd Phoenix, and I got the albums a few months back. Still my favourite track by them, makes me think they're a one hit wonder :(

16. What genre is #8?
Haha d'oh I've Sound has NO genre. NONE I tell you. They are in the genre of awesomeness. Although their newer works are lacking.

17. Do any of your friends like #14?
Guess so. I wouldn't know though I never directly go up in people's face and demand if they like BoA.

18. What color does #4 remind you of?
Purple. Love this song.

19. Have you ever blasted #11 on your stereo?
Nope. It's not a song to be blasted, that's for sure.

20. What genre is #37?
Gah. Okay Akino Arai is devoid of any genre. LOL. I swear everything she & Hisaaki Hokari puts out is awesome by default. So there.

21. Can you play #13 on any instrument?
I play no instrument, period.

22. What is your favorite lyric from #30?
No lyrics, just instrumental.

23. What is your favorite lyric from #23?
No idea, can't find the lyrics to most Sweater songs, much less their translations.

24. Would you recommend #24 to your friends?
Yep, it always puts a smile on my face, like this :)

25. Is #2 a good song to dance to?
LOL. Oh God no. It's an epic song called "Karma". Really now.

26. Do you ever hear #16 on the radio?
Nope. Wish I could. But no, Casker remains sadly underappreciated, even in their home country.

27. Is #32 more of a "nighttime" or "daytime" song?
Haha, mid-day I guess. I love the tune.

28. Does #36 have any special meaning to you?
Not really, but Pastel Music always paints some kind of scenery or other in my mind.

29. Do any of your friends like #31?
Hmmm. No idea. I think some of them might :D Some of them are avid Clazziquai fans like me, lol, so yeah.

30. Is #25 a fast or slow song?
Slow, mid-tempoish if I really have to say.

31. Is #35 a happy or sad song?
Happy. True romance is always happy, trufax.

32. What is one of your favorite lyrics from #9?
Good God, no idea. Can't be damned to find it now. I love the whole feel of the music, though.

33. Is #34 better to listen to alone or with friends?
Definitely alone.

34. When did you first hear #27?
Oh man... I've forgotten. Like years and years ago, when I first got my hands on that album (Sora no Niwa, I think).

35. Name 3 other songs by the artist who did #29.
Rum Hee, Parachute, Future Umbrella.

36. Do you know all the words to #6?
Lol, no. Of all the songs on this list, I wouldn't memorize #6's lyrics. Shugo's songs are kinda hard to sing along with, but great to bob your head to.

37. Does #28 have better lyrics or music?
Lyrics, most DEFINITELY. God, Epik High = lyrics is just like, fact, ya know. (Hmm how eloquent of me.)

38. What album is #10 from?
The Restoration single, from that BALDR SKY game or some other such things.

Love inspires in us the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. Just in time for Valentine's day, I've put together a playlist of some of my favorite love songs, running the thematic gamut from "first blush of love" to "desolation in the wake of abandonment." Enjoy!

Love and Loss - a playlist
Including songs by:
Cyndi Lauper, Mary J. Blige, Goapele, Shakira, Roisin Murphy, Pat Benatar, Imogen Heap, Bjork, Anggun, & more.
