DRUM MEDIAS MUSIC
QUESTIONS 2011
(My answers)
I’m mainly working off my Last.fm account statistics but I’ve adjusted
it to reflect what I genuinely thought were stand outs despite their play
count.
Another point to remember when reading through is that I’m doing this in
early December 2011. Last year I did it in late November. So don’t get too
agitated when you notice that some songs are not from 2011, juzrelaxay.

QUOTE OF THE YEAR
"I don't know what it is about me that
makes people think I wanna hear there problems. Maybe I smile too much, maybe I
wear too much pink, but please remember - I can rip your throat out if I need
to. And also know that I am not a hooker. That was a long, long time ago."
– Pam
(True Blood)

Comments
I think overall you guise
can see that I’ve got a thing for Alex Clare. I think he’s insanely underrated
and extremely talented. You might also
notice the abundance of ‘instantly gratifying’ tracks, but are you going to
tell a girl in her late teens who grew up on a diet of Britney Spears and The
Spice Girls to like something else? No, you wouldn’t as you’d probably end up
with an eye full of glitter. And I’m talking the small, gritty stuff; not any
of this foily confetti business.
My obsessions this year
have mainly been centred on TV shows, so the music part of my heart has been
slightly deprived of its nutritional juices in the form of music. Last year I
was heavily influenced by dubstep and its sister genres. This year it has
slightly lost its appeal, short of a few remixes and original tracks. This year
it has mainly been dance tracks (as I have been frequenting clubs and bars a
lot more) and chill tracks (no I do not do illicit substances).
I’ve run out of things to
say so I will shut up and end this before Future Anilla realises how much of a
pretentious weirdo Past Anilla was.
