What are your top 25 most played songs?
Submitted by Cooxie.
Another one of those Vox questions I can't quite figure out.
25 most played songs ever? this week? today?
I don't use my ipod. I work at home most of the time, with visits to a warehouse style place where I also get to control the music, so I end up listening to whole CDs, not a song here and a song there.
So the top 25 most played songs for me lately are:
Mountain Goats, Get Lonely
- wild sage
- new monster avenue
- half dead
- get lonely
- maybe sprout wings
- moon over goldsboro
- in the hidden places
- song for lonely giants
- woke up new
- if you see light
- cobra tattoo
- in corolla
12 songs...
and
Bonnie "Prince" Billy, The Letting Go
add in a sprinkling of the Scissor Sisters "Ta-Dah" when I'm not working....
Which cartoon character best represents you?
Submitted by Know It All.
Trixie, from Speed Racer.
My hubby races around like a crazy person without thinking things through, and I help him in times of crisis. I also advise and direct him from afar (albeit not via helicopter).
But most of all, I am like Trixie because I want Speed Racer to be my secret boyfriend.
Oops! Secret's out! Good thing the husband never goes online....

What was your very first job?
Submitted by Laurel.
My first job was babysitting.
Is that too obvious?
After that....
In high school (at 16 and 17 years old, 1979-1980) I worked in a warehouse filling orders for a company that sold the ugliest hats, belts and accessories. I packed orders for UPS pick up. Oh my god, it was so awful All the items were made of straw, and were in the most horrid colors (neon yellows, oranges, aqua, etc.). These were supposed to be hip and cool accessories, and the company was extremely successful. I wish I had photos so I could prove how ugly these hats were to you all.
It was boring, but it paid my car expenses.
Show us your favorite place to get a cup of coffee.
Submitted by danatmedog.
now to be more realistic than in my last coffee post...
There is only one place within walking distance of my house that serves "real" coffee (and my friends know I NEED it badly every morning). We've got a lot of places with really bad coffee, but this place has beans that are good enough for me to buy and grind at home.
Cafe Arpeggio, West Broadway, South Boston:

certainly not the best coffee, but definitely the best memories and the best company.
That could also apply to the Avoca,
when they're not rushing to close up.
What are some of your favorite, forgotten albums that have stood the test of time?
Submitted by PeterGibbons.
If I forgot them, how can they be my favorites? And how could I list them here if I forgot them?
Am I the only one that is too literal here? Is it my mathematician brain?
Show us some concert photos.
Submitted by Abigail Road.
I don't usually take photos at shows. I have the most unsteady hand. All the tips from E and C have not helped.
I do have photos from the three day weekend in Vermont that I went to see Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly for "Rock in Rockinham", August 2003.
Great weekend, Kristin was divine.
Show us the view outside your window.
Submitted by Cat.
The view outside my window last February was much more interesting than the view I have right now. So here it is. the snow covered car across from my house.
Not looking forward to another winter....
What's the best way to spend a rainy day?
Submitted by Vee.
A pint of premium ice cream, and movies on cable t.v.... while lying in bed under the covers.
Unfortunately, I have also spent some sunny days doing this as well......
