Writer's Block: Concert mania

2009-10-07T04:45:07Z

I have always wanted to see Brand New in concert, their music is simply beautiful. I'd also love to see Starsailor, another awesome band. Cat Power, Imogen Heap and Chevelle would all also be great. And I would travel far and wide to see any of them if I had the means to.

What band are you dying to see live in concert that you've never seen before? Would you travel to a different city or state just to see them?

It was about midnight and I ran around back to meet them and get autographs with about 300 other people. Stupid me though, I forgot my camera.

Writer's Block: Doctor Who?

26-year-old actor Matt Smith was anointed as the eleventh Doctor Who this week. If you were in charge of casting, who would you cast as your ideal Doctor and why?

View 502 Answers

I'm open to this new actor's take on The Doctor. I'm very interested to see where he goes with it and plays it. He looks good and handsome and somewhat playful, which are good things. I would prefer to keep David Tennant because his portrayal was amazing and energetic and boy could he spit out those lines. But I wouldn't know where to start with casting someone else. I think for a character as classic as The Doctor, that's a responsibility I'm glad to not have.

Obviously Firefly. I am a huge fan of it, but it was canceled far too soon. Barely a season in, and the network is sick of it. The movie helped, but another season would be absolutely amazing.

I would cut and dye my hair pretty colors, maybe black and blue. I'd pierce my nose, up my ears, my eyebrow, my bellybutton, and someplace else unmentionable. I'd get sleeves of tattoos, and on my back and neck and collar and fingers. I'd wear hot slutty clothes, tight tops and cool jeans. Much, much better than my average, everyday appearance.

Writer's Block: The sound of inspiration

What type of music inspires you?

View 500 Answers

Anything with speeping sounds, echoes, and breathing. I just love when you can hear the singer breath. It makes me feel as if they are right next to me, and I can visualize them.

Right now, I am into Yo La Tengo, which has a grasshopper, twangy sound; Andrew Bird, who whistles in almost all his songs on the newest album, and has one entirely of birds and crickets; "A Light on a Hill", by Margot and the Nuclear So and So's is just...heart drop relaxing to me and utterly beautiful; "Shipwrecked" by Shane Alexander, with great guitar and soft voice; and lastly, A Perfect Circle, mostly "The Noose", which gives me that feeling of formication in my whole body.

Simply beautiful music that needs to be heard.

How Will You Save the Planet?

2008-04-26T23:30:39Z

As the Energy Avenger, your plan to save the world involves saving all the energy you possibly can. You are a fan of solar power, public transportation, and unplugging things when you're not using them (since lots of stuff, like cell phone chargers, use power even when you're not actually charging anything). You love turning the lights off, because the more power you save, the more powerful you feel. And besides, there's lots of fun to be had in the dark!

What you'll wear to save the world: A stretchy jumpsuit that's totally vintage. It probably belonged to another world-saving caped hero back in the '70s, and you love the idea that no new energy or materials were used to create your costume. If you always wash it in cold water, you'll not only save energy -- you'll keep the colors of your costume extra bright. (Your outfit might also involve a cozy sweater, so you'll never have to turn up the heat if you get cold. An energy hero like you is a master of the multiple-layer disguise.)

What's Your Coffe Drink?

2008-04-07T22:21:48Z

Who needs milk or sugar? You're perfect just the way you are! You're a straightforward person who doesn't like distractions. If your friends have something to say to you, you don't want to be sweet-talked -- you'd rather hear the truth. You're very reliable, but not very patient. (You get kind of bitter if people leave you waiting around too long.) You don't need fancy things or special treatment to be happy, so you fit in almost anywhere.
