Meme for a Musical Afternoon

Ha! Another meme swiped from Dixie, who in turn swiped it from her pal, Katya, who, according to Dix, "has a blog that talks about music and books is who I stole it from but it originated here. Ever wanted to know who Person Zero was when it came to a meme? Now you know."

Here are the rules as Bookhart wrote them:

The idea behind the blog is that it's about music, and that you can put up to three answers to any question. But no more. One answer is OK, two answers is OK, three answers is OK. Four is not OK, and five is right out. Unless otherwise indicated, you can only choose songs, and be specific--putting "anything by Madonna" doesn't count.

* Easily one of my favorite bands. It's quite difficult to select only three songs, so I narrowed it down to the three that I hit the Repeat button on the most often.

** Who is Matisyahu, you ask? I wanna know why you DON'T know Matisyahu =P

*** I don't shake my ass in the classical sense. But I am good at ballroom, and "Sway" is a great song to dance to.

****In case you're protesting, Copland and Gershwin were classical composers. So there.
