1)I have been a DJ off and on, and once played Roy Orbison to a crowd of indie dance hipster types, and it really seemed to piss them off.

2)Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead

3)This

4)Scott Walker – Rhinestone Cowboy

5)Miki Berenyi from Lush & Ritzy from The Joy Formidable

1. If you were a DJ, what would be the most inappropriate song you would like to play and the most inopportune moment?

I’d Like To Teach The World to Sing at the Deaf School annual disco. How cruel do you want me to get? I can go worse than that.

2. Song for your funeral.

Welcome to the Jungle. I’m definitely going to hell if there is one so why not rock out a bit on the way.

3. Song you’d like to sneak onto the record player at your worst enemy’s funeral, just to ruin it.

Angels by Robbie Williams. Probably seems appropriate to many of the congregation but is unutterably shit. I don’t have a worst enemy though, just know a lot of people who are wasting good oxygen.

4. Name a fantasy cover version you’d love to hear.

Motorhead covering Wannabe by the Spice Girls

5. Name a fantasy duet you’d love to hear.

TuPac and Frank Sinatra. This is not only possible but probable given their respective record labels’ determination to keep mining that back catalogue.

1. Love Makes The World Go Round by the Powerpuff Girls. The Nickelodeon version of the Smurfs, singing what is quite possibly one of the sweetest indie pop songs of all time. Ripping guitar solo too..

2. Boo Hoo by Park Attack

3. Hm. Maybe the same answer to 2, it would probably ruin mine.

4. Gay Against You covering Donna Summer, I Feel Love.

5. Uffie and Frank Sinatra. Mebbe..

1. At a wedding, ‘Band of Gold’ by Freda Payne
2. It’s nothing to do with me, the dead don’t care.
3. Bill Hicks telling people in advertising to kill themselves, just in case there were any there to give it a go.
4. I heard the Pogues singing Maggie Mae live years and years ago and it was one of the very best things ever, I’d like to hear that again.
5. Almost any big fuck of showman and Chris Lowe, just to bring him down to size.

3. ‘Celebration’ by Kool and The Gang.

I honestly can’t think of anyone I hate so much that I’d subject their funeral to this song.

Anotherdave – you are clearly a better person than I am, I can think of loads…

fuckme JC, you’ve now got me convinced you have a cupboard full of Matthew/Tart fan fiction! which does make me a bit queasy but also laugh!

1. If you were a DJ, what would be the most inappropriate song you would like to play and the most inopportune moment? Billy Bragg, “The Short Answer” he can’t sing and nobody can dance to anything he writes, so just about any time is ok to play this.
2. Song for your funeral. Elliott Smith, “Independence Day”
3. Song you’d like to sneak onto the record player at your worst enemy’s funeral, just to ruin it. I have enemies? Hmmm…. maybe I’d just hang a xerox copy of something in a museum or something (inside joke! just kidding!!!)
4. Name a fantasy cover version you’d love to hear. Samantha Crain doing Withered Hand’s “For The Maudlin”
5. Name a fantasy duet you’d love to hear. J. Tillman and a young Joni Mitchell or someone like that.

1. If you were a DJ, what would be the most inappropriate song you would like to play and the most inopportune moment?

How about Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon’s ‘Will The Fetus Be Aborted’ at a shotgun wedding? Sing along, everyone!

2. Song for your funeral

‘Death Is Not the End’? Or maybe ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ – I want everyone greetin’.

3. Song you’d like to sneak onto the record player at your worst enemy’s funeral, just to ruin it.

Worst enemy? Um, I’d have to go back to Primary 2 for one. She’d get ‘Shaddup You Face’ by Joe Dolce on repeat. The bitch.

4. Name a fantasy cover version you’d love to hear.

I’d like Tom Waits to cover Five’s ‘Get On Up’.

5. Name a fantasy duet you’d love to hear.

Islands in The Stream with me and Kenny Rogers. I’d show that Dolly a thing or two.
