Bigger better faster more: lists

Hoorah: not only have I found out that I have made some grave mistakes in my previous lists (the musical ones, mostly), but inspired by a dirty girl's myspace (OK, last time I'll call you that), I found a new list: people I would like to meet. Funnily, these lists interfere somewhat: afterall, I am a lover - a music lover that is.
For reference,here and here you can find my previous posts on lists.

So what of the music? I realised that one of the people I dearly regret not seeing live is Elvis Costello. Fortunately, it is my understanding that he will be at the Ghentse Fieste this year, so I will finally make up on that - I'm hoping he will even outdo his legendary performance on Werchter some years ago. So I need to fit in 'I want You' somewhere in there. It breaks my heart, but I have to get Grand Jacques off the list.
Am I out of my misery now? Noooooo! Because I have realised that a good criterium for 'best song ever' is how willing I am to listen to it time and again, preferably continuously. That brings me to the point: My Cruel Joke just needs to be in there. This by itself is not a problem, but what to drop, what to drop? Ah well: I'll go for the only classical tune there: probably hurts my image (stop laughing, all you), but although it is definitely my favourite classical piece, I'm just not so much of a classical music type of guy.
So here's my updated list (once again, not in any order but that of randomness' uttermost completeness):

So here's my updated list (once again, not in any order but that of the randomness' uttermost completeness)

• Lilac Wine - Jeff Buckley (Grace is everything)
• Go - Pearl Jam (Just passing it on: suppose I abused you? Flippen)
• No Shuffle - Front 242 (Emptiness endlessness senselessness)
• I'm Deranged - David Bowie (Lost Highway-ender with the best transition ever)
• Schism - Tool (If Stephen Hawkings were to write a love song)
• Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead (The spine, everytime)
• Small Change - Tom Waits (Well-Spoken Word)
• My Cruel Joke - Soulwax & Tray Bonham (Close eyes and submerge)
• I Want You - Elvis Costello (Give me a hug)
• Goin' Home - Dinosaur Jr. (That little riff brings me home)
  
And people I'd like to meet

• Jeff Buckley (it would mean he'd still be there. Silence would suffice)
• Beethoven (Find out if he really was a punker)
• Trent Reznor (How can 1 man write both 'Closer' and 'Hurt' and be an asshole?)
• Frank Vandenbroucke (Politician with a brain and a drive)
• You
• Thom Yorke (Not really, I guess: too scared for disappointment)
• Va (Just keeps popping up, lately)
• Any German during the war (Was it madness? Sheer stupidity? Avalanche? Evil?)
• The Big Kahuna/God/Mother Nature (Why?)
• Hermann Hesse (I used to be the Steppenwolf and plan to read Siddharta)

On brainstorming, I imagined some more lists I would have to look into: favourite places to go/have been, Most impressive works of art (will I get to 10?), Women and Men ordered by physical attractivity (should be hard and painful), Best sex ever (ashamed to say I would have a hard time accurately remembering; except maybe recent events for their wickedness and of course the unchallenged numero uno at some point (!) in Portugal) and as I'm installing a computer as I'm writing, I might add: most annoying installation ever!

But hey, if I told you everything now already, you wouldn't be back for more.

Just one more quote for the hell of it:

A little by came along
Named a Louis Armstrong
Said that Girl who left me silly,
She like the looks of me and my willy.

So I found her in the Quarter:
Good god how I adored her.
Oh she made me feel so cozy
When she told me I could call her Rosie.
(Apache Rose Peacock - Red Hot Chili Peppers)

(Those guys probably implanted the 'Devil in my dick' and the 'Demons in my semen' round the time Willy (NOT the body part) was my best friend. I miss old friends (sat on a park bench like bookends - how terribly strange to be seventeen))
