    Favorite Song lyrics

    in Music / TV / Films

    Posted · Edited by Fionen

    I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

    Loser - Beck

     

    In my 7th grade girls choir we could bring in a mix tape with bits from songs that had our favorite lyrics. I included Loser by Beck and some of the popular girls were upset. :irked: I wish I could go back in time to relive that moment.

     

    I'll have to come back to this thread after I've given it some serious thought.

    Lesser Known Bands/Singers

    What is your favorite band or singer that most people don't know about?

     

    Mine is Revis. One of their songs, Caught In The Rain, was played on the radio a few years ago and I was hooked. I haven't heard any of their music on the radio since. I've never met anyone else that knows who they are.

     

    Wikipedia says they disbanded in 2005 and a few members moved onto other bands: Aujalyn and The Yelling.

    Also recommendations from family matter.

     

    I'm the same way. I have a lot of family members that love to read so if I'm looking for something new I ask them first. I trust their taste in books.

     

    If I walk into a bookstore without any recommendations then you can bet I'll gravitate to the books with appealing covers. That's how I found Sabriel by Garth Nix. :lol: I do read what they're about before making the final decision though.

    "I see..." said the vampire thoughtfully, and slowly he walked across the room towards the window.

     

    Interview With The Vampire - Anne Rice

     

    I so want to read Interview with the Vampire! I used to hate it because my sister's creep-of-a-boyfriend was so obsessed with it and other supernatural things. (He claimed to be a real werewolf. :blush: Keep in mind that this was about fourteen years ago.) Then a few years back the movie was on TV so I gave it a chance and ended up loving it. Every so often, like right now, I remember that I want to read the book but the timing never seems to be right. :lol:

    Yeah, Library Thing's 200 book limit it also the reason I went with Goodreads.

     

    It's really interesting to see what books I have in common with people. Even if most of mine are on the "to-read" shelf. I noticed that I wasn't the only one to give "A Series of Unfortunate Events" three stars. It was a surprise considering how much hype those books got.

     

    Fionen, I accepted :D By the way, I found BCF group thanks to you! How come I never realised there could be a group for us in there?

     

    I didn't think about it either. I only found it because of Paperplane. :lol:

     

     

    Edit: Echo and Karen, thanks for letting me know.

    I use to read manga, but I no longer have interest in it. My most favorite manga was Nana.

     

    Oh yeah, Nana by Ai Yazawa has a lot of fans. They made it into a live action film in Japan. Have you read Paradise Kiss by the same author?

    I was able to send a friend request to everybody but Echo and Kell. For some reason I can't find you guys. =/

     

    If you didn't get a friend request it's because I don't like you. :lol: j/k (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.) Let's try this again, If you didn't get a friend request I accidentally skipped you so please add me. I'm Fionen.
