My Shtick

So I am in the car with my brother this evening flipping through my iPod. He gets irritated with me because I keep skipping songs he wants to listen to - hey buddy, my car, my iPod, my choice...but I digress. He laments the fact that I am picking "lovey" songs. "Where is your angsty music? What's up with this lovey crap?" I tell him I am not feeling angsty today and the song I picked was not particularly sappy anyway. "Well angst is your thing. It's your shtick. You have to be angsty." Um, thanks little bro. I'm not sure what that says about me. Actually, I think it might say that I'm a sad, bitchy person, but we'll gloss over that. I didn't know I had a shtick, but if I did, I would not have picked angst. Eh...who am I kidding? So I haven't been on the high end of the emotional spectrum the last few years. People can change, right? Or maybe people are changed.

And for anyone who is wondering what my sappy love song was, it was "Killing Me Too" by Sister Hazel. I think that's effectively somewhere between love and angst.

What song would you play.....

("borrowed" from Mandy :) )

...for the first dance at your wedding? I've always liked "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve, but it's really not first dance material...I think it depends on the story of the the man I am marrying and me. I like "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds Five, "The Way You Look Tonight" by Sinatra and "Someone Like You" by Van Morrison.

...if you were a stripper doing a featured dance? I'll go with either "Hella Good" by No Doubt (or just Gwen Stefani?) or "Ayo Technology" by 50 Cent and Timberlake. Or "Closer" by NIN

...for your first at bat in the major league? "Cocky" by Kid Rock or "Ready or Not" by the Fugees...yeah, you can't handle what I'm about to give ya!

...at your funeral if you were a movie character? Well what kind of movie character am I? Could be "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen if it's a comedy or "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban if I was a really inspiring character

...while you're doing a John Travolta-esque strut in your favorite outfit? "I Turn My Camera On" by Spoon or "Stronger" by Kanye West
