It's a meme-ish day, it seems

[ratherastory]

I stole this from elsewhere_kels, same way I stole the previous meme.

On LiveJournal, we often think we're close, but really, we know less about each other than we like to think. So I want you to ask me something you would like to know about me, something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about, or something you've always been curious about but have never asked, or something completely silly that you'd like me to answer for kicks. No limits on the range of questions, either: ask me anything you want to know about, whether it's a fannish opinion or trivia about my real life or my thoughts on events in the offline world.

What music do you like to listen to? (I don't ask for favorite bands, because that's just cruel, yo.)

I have really eclectic tastes in music. I listen to everything from classic to country, a whole bunch of stuff from the sixties and seventies, rock and pop, celtic and bluegrass, French music and opera (I have a thing for Wagner), and I have a soft spot for musicals.

Does that answer your question? ;)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagner!

It does! Though now I'm curious as to a) what musicals, b) any particular groups from the sixties and seventies, and c) what's the most recent thing you listened to (approximately)?

Most recently I've been listening to Joan Baez. I am an unabashed Beatles fan, love Dire Straights, and lots of others I can't think of offhand.

As for musicals, the Phantom of the Opera is my first love, and Man of La Mancha. My Fair Lady (my parents and I know it by heart and sing it to each other), The Sound of Music... I could go on.

I feel a bit as though I should add "Weeeeeeeeeeeebbeeeeeeeeeeeeer" to my "Waaaaaaaaaaagneeeeeeeeeeeer". :D Faaaabulous.

What's your favorite type of music to experience live?

(FYI, I've now ganked this meme. In case you feel the need to pester me with questions in return.)

Live?

I love watching musicals: the singing, the dancing, the costumes, the choreography. :)

As for bands, I look for anyone with TONS of energy on stage. The happier they are to be there, the better for me.

Yeah, that was kind of a silly question, wasn't it? Ain't nothing that beats a live performance when you're there in person. Mmmmm.
