Is commentz timez nao?

01/12/2009

Oh hai, I’m Tracey. You seem to have stumbled upon my blog.

ohhai1 Is commentz timez nao?

(I am a magical being who glows as if lit from within. Try to not be intimidated, though I know it will be difficult.)

Some of you have been here before. Some of you are new here. In either case, most of you never comment. Dorks.

BUT! Today is Delurking Day, so I would like each of you to do me the supreme honor of answering the following Standard Delurking Day Question in comments here:

If you had to pick a theme song for yourself, what song would it be?

Interpret that as you will. Links to your chosen track somewheres on the web for our listening pleasure appreciated, but not required.

I’ll go first. Here’s mine:

Talk to me, people.

    today…some yet-unperformed rendition of "row, row, row your boat" by tom waits and bjork. (w/ plaintive emphasis on "life is but a dream…")

  • emily

    hmm…I think my pick will be "Float On" – Modest Mouse. It always seems to put things into perspective for me.

  • Bren

    "I Do The Rock"
    Tim Curry
    It's on his Myspace page. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=u…

    Birthday Card – Joseph Arthur or Happy Home by Garbage – can’t decide between the two…
    Sorry to have lurked so long.

    Howdy, hi, hello. Been reading for a while, but I think this is the first comment I’ve left, which is really just a comment on my laziness. As for a song, I’ll go with “Gratitude” by the Beastie Boys.

    For today, it's Don't Stop Believing by Journey.

    My song at his point in life would be "New Soul" by Nael Yaim.
    I am constantly making mistakes and I think the universe has messed a few things up. Maybe it will all turn out alright. Listening to this song makes me think it's possible.

  • http://www.drowninginkids.com jess

    hey! i'm listening to elliott smith right now, seriously.
    for the past couple months my theme song has been "skinny love" by bon iver.
    waves blows kiss.

    I would have the Imperial March from Star Wars.

  • Bremily

    Hello! Always a lurker- but I wanted to thank you for introducing me to Neutral Milk Hotel.. it is so lovely. I think (at least for today and my lack of willpower) Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk by Rufus Wainwright.

  • http://asmeddlingkiss.blogspot.com Velma

    Not delurking, exactly, but have been commenting for shit on all my favorite blogs for a while.
    Not my theme song, just the one I can't get out of my head this week. Fastball, "You're an Ocean." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7reY8OyYmLI

  • http://www.texasheiss.blogspot.com AmyH

    delurking to say that I haven’t seen you since you were in Austin for ACL fest 2 years ago and 1. your hair looks fuller now and 2. you look thinner. Whatever you are doing, it looks great. (not that you didn’t look great before…just sayin)
    I have no theme song.

  • http://www.snotw.com Rachael

    Delurking to say Hi! As for the song… Maybe I'm a Believer by the Monkees. I loved them so much when I was a kid, and at this point in my life, things have gone soo offtrack, all I can do is Believe!

    So scary to delurk! I like to hide behind Google Reader, though I know it's not fair to you for all your hard work and great writing. I'll say "On the Radio" by Regina Spektor. For now, since this changes by the minute.

  • Sarah

    Hi Tracey! I SOOO think you should continue writing your “age” series and publish them in some form. That’s some kick-ass writing.
    I also love Elliot; of course I didn’t discover him until his death:(
    In that same vein, I’ve always loved Jeff Buckley…his version of “Hallelujah” and “Lilac Wine” slay me.

  • http://profile.typekey.com/mamalogues/ Dana

    No question:
    RAM JAM. "Black Betty." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IousTfdD-Uo
    Or, Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEG0-3xlAkg
    They capture that whole Burt Reynolds-chest hair-crazy cool medallions era that I find so fascinating.

  • erin

    I didn’t even know there was a name for people like me. Lurker? Creepy.
    My theme song…Tomorrow. As in the song from Annie. Yeah, and I’m not even 8!

  • silverblue

    My theme song is "Acceptable in the 80s" by Calvin Harris. A good friend from Cali (I live in Australia) chose it for me last year, and it makes me happy. :)

  • http://superdumbsupervillain.blogspot.com/ Naomi

    Just one?! Impossible.
    I’m thinking The Fall-Outs “Sleep” but then Neutral Milk Hotel has so very, very many that I love. And don’t even get me started on Pavement or The Oblivians. Nope, I’m a jukebox, baby.

  • http://www.going-country.blogspot.com kristin

    I think I commented once. But that still makes me 99% a lurker. So I will delurk today to say that my song? Would just have to be "Gone Country." I don't even like that song all that much, but that's what I've done whether I like it or not. I mean, really, I have CHICKENS. Who is this person living in my body?

  • Tracy

    My latest favorite is "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. No matter what mood I'm in, it never fails to lift my spirits.

  • Jess

    Road to Nowhere by the Talking Heads. Hands down.

  • http://piggyhawk.wordpress.com Eden

    My theme song would be "Brick House" b/c I want it to play whenever I enter a room (and it sometimes does).

  • http://www.suzannadanna.net/ suzanna danna

    Delurking to say, hi. And the song I have define myself by forever is an oldie but a goodie. "Guilty" by Bonnie Raitt.
    Linkedge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQBLXhgLG5Q
    Sad, but true. Except the cocaine part.

    Er, defineD. Can spell. Am S-M-R-T.

  • Rebecca M.

    So you've caught me lurking. Stumbled upon your blog, and I love it. Actually, our husbands were great friends in High School! Anyway, my song right now would have to be Death Cab for Cutie's "No Sunshine" being that I live in the Pittsburgh area, and we have not seen sun in what seems like months!

  • Luann

    I have a 3, 2 and 1 year old so I really don't get a chance to listen to much anymore other than kids music. One that I really like though is from the Ralph's world cd called Dance Around. It reminds me it's ok to act a little nuts now and then.

  • Robin

    Nickel Creek- Lighthouse's Tale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTAyMt3ldSU
    Yer one coolio lady…..

  • Erin

    Personal song….hhmmm. Lately it could be Fat Bottom Girls by Queen. The holiday's were HARD yo!
    De-lurking by command. But I do have a question; Did you and Finslippy have a tiff? I notice you are no longer listed on her links page and vice-versa. Not trying to cause trouble….just curious. (I sometimes use the links to blog surf.)

  • http://icantbelieveanyonewouldwanttoreadthis.blogspot.com/ TamiW

    Right now my theme song is "Needle In The Hay" by Elliot Smith… the whole song doesn't apply…the the title/chorus. I'm having balance issues and I've been to doctor after doctor and no one seems to know what's wrong with me. It's like searching for a needle in the hay. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zfWxa-FN8X4

  • http://profile.typekey.com/sweetneydotcom/ Sweetney .

    Erin: Nope, no tiff at all! I just go through my links every now and then and weed out the blogs I don't read anymore, add new ones that I do. Definitely nothing personal, we go way back and I think she's swell.

  • Helen

    Bonjour! Delurking by your request to say that I am a fan, my theme song? "Little Bit" by Lykke Li, this song sums me up this week.

  • Karla

    "Gotta Be" by Desiree. Simple, like me.

  • Sarah

    I am, I believe, officially older than dirt at 41, but I like your blog because you occasionally address all the scary mothering stuff I dealt with, offline, at 30. And my husband approves of the effect you've had on my musical tastes, which run toward early 80s alternative.
    That said, my theme song would be "But Not Tonight" by Depeche Mode.

  • Laina

    "Extraordinary" by Liz Phair. In the years of my divorce it is the one song that makes me want to crank up the radio, put down the windows, and sing along. Even if it is in the single digits here.

  • http://bathtubadventurer.blogspot.com Nora

    'Talk to Me' by Joni Mitchell. This is actually more of the soundtrack to my early twenties, but it's such a freakin' rad song that I couldn't not post it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5mVXKiYlmc

  • http://www.sarahmakesyoustronger.blogspot.com Sarah

    oh hai. I'm sarah. I come here all the time.
    theme song would probably be The canadian national anthem. I'm not canadian, nor have I ever been there, but it's just so regal sounding.
    Wait, I'm not regal.
    Lets go with the Goldfish jingle. I do love the fishes cuz they're so delicious.

  • Erin

    My theme song would probably be "Angry Anymore" by Ani Difranco.

  • Kat

    Garbage "When I Grow Up"
    If that doesn't peg me as Gen Y, I don't know what will. Even if I stare at most of my genertion in horror, and claim to simply be a cusp baby who really takes after the Gen X. :-P

  • haley

    love your writing and thanks. :)
    mine is dreams by the cranberries. i've always thought it would be a good soundtrack if my life were a movie.

  • Debra

    Bishop Allen's "Click Click Click": http://www.bishopallen.com/
    I've never delurked before. I read you via my Google Reader; can't remember how I happened upon your blog, but here I am every day! Thanks.

  • http://partywithaninfant.blogspot.com how to Party with an

    good question. Top of my head? Scenario by Tribe Called Quest.

  • http://iamphildodd.com Phil

    Questions like this bring out the wicked in all of us. We dredge up some obscure song so that we look edgy and cool. I hate edgy and cool. My theme song would be "Cortez,the killer" by Neil Young.
    L8rs

  • http://www.swopefiles.wordpress.com Hilary

    Love the radiating light photo. A song? A THEME song?! Mine would be Blood in the Boardroom by Ani DiFranco. Because I want to be as badass as that song.
