Filler: Burnt Offering

So, in the music industry, they call this 'filler.' When you can't put anything else on a album, you put in a throw away track to fill up space on the record. So for this blog, I'm in the process of writing the next post, but this caught my eye, and I figured it's been a while since I've posted anything. So here's my filler, stupid little facebook survey, but some of the answers were pretty fantastic. Leave a comment and do it yourself if it should strike you as something to waste a few minutes with

What do your friends think of you?
'Happy Jack' by The Who "The kids couldn't hurt Jack, They tried, tried, tried. They dropped things on his back, They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied." [Yeah, this one could have worked out better]

If someone says, “Is this okay?” You say?
'Love You Like This' by Living Legends [Yeah, this really doesn't apply at all]

How would you describe yourself?
'Tell Me What You See' by The Beatles "Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see." [Perfect, since I'm awful at describing myself]

What do you like in a girl?
'Bowie' by Flight of the Conchords "Does the space cold make your nipples go pointy Bowie?" [This one strangely works, since any girl who likes Flight of the Conchords immediately gets another 50 points in my book]

How do you feel today?
'Essaywhuman?!!!??!' by The Roots "Now what we want is ya'll to do is sit back ya'll and just relax ya'll." [Works for me]

What is your life’s purpose?
'Give Me' by Atmosphere "Give me the money, Don't you dare stop there, Give me the mic, That's the tool, and I play it cool, Give me the life, I've seen things that used to be dreams, Give me the love, My name's Slug, give me a pound or a hug" [I'll take the pound and a hug, but as far as life purposes? I'm not much of a rapper.]

What is your motto?
'Paint the Seconds' by Chevelle "I'm about to give rise, Like the sun never could." [Probably should be my motto, but it's more like 'meh']

What do you think about very often?
'Three MC's and 1 DJ' by Beastie Boys "Three MC's and one DJ, We be getting down with no delay" [I do love hip hop, but I don't think about 3 Jewish guys from New York too often]

What is 2 + 2?
'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC [Yeah... not so much]

What do you think of your best friend?
'The Proud' by Talib Kweli "We survive, it's more than pride, We stay alive, ready to ride" [Haha, alright, ready to ride?]

What do you think of the person you like?
'Tramp' by Blueprint [It's really too good, so I'll link to the entire song: HAHAHAHAHAHA]

What is your life story?
'Just to Get A Rep' by Gangstarr "His time ran out his number came up and thats it, Ya know the rest so dont front the plan has been upset, Some brothers gotta go out, just to get a rep" [As well as the title of the song works, getting shot to get a rep from stick-ups and homicide isn't what I'm going for]

What do you want to be when you grow up?
'Shake Those Windows' by Athlete "In two seconds the beat was recognised, And all the old school heads nodded back in time, And though we just met i've known you all my life. Shake those windows, Songs and songs and beats and rhymes in life, This blackout it just helps to love those clear night skies" [An English bands song about old school hip hop, I can deal with it]

What do you think of when you see the person you like?
'Feather' by Nujabes ft CYNE "So I'm Driftin Away Like A Feather In Air, Lettin My Words Take Me Away From The Hurt And Despair" [Well, it certainly keeps the theme from Tramp, haha]

What will you dance to at your wedding?
'Last Living Souls' by Gorillaz "Are we the last living souls? Are we the last to get away to a song another day? Or do we know why we love, it doesn't seem to be conveyed that way!"


What will they play at your funeral?
'Lost!' by Coldplay "Just because I'm hurting, Doesn't mean I'm hurt, Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve, No better and no worse. I just got lost. Every river that I've tried to cross, And every door I ever tried was locked, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off" [Wow]

What is your hobby/interest?
'Can't Leave Rap Alone' by Apathy ft Celph Titled and Ryu "The Rubix Cuban's at your door, but I ain't singin' no carols, I'm like Donkey Kong, I got you 'ninjas' dodgin' my barrels, Don't give a fuck where your label's from, We runnin' up in your office, holdin' your CEO hostage with a staple gun, And ain't no stoppin' this don; I got soccer moms Puttin' glocks in their palms and wildin' out to opera songs"
[Yup, that's me, getting soccer moms to wild out to opera songs with glocks]

What is your biggest fear?
'Blinded By The Lights' by The Streets

What is your biggest secret?
'Bad Moon Rising' by CCR "I see the bad moon arising. I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightning. I see bad times today." [I can see the future... just don't tell anyone]

What do you think of your friends?
'But, Honestly' by Foo Fighters "And tonight I thank the stars, As I count my lucky scars, For everything you've given me"
