day 05 - a song that reminds you of someone
Robert Gass version of Om Namah Shivaya
Decided to try and find something that encapsulates my mother. This does that both her singing it and a part of her personality shine through with this choice.

Took me a while to remember this small fact. I know the words (still) to ALL the songs from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Once More With Feeling" aka The Buffy Musical Episode AND Dr Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog AND Commentary! The Musical.
So many songs to choose from.....today the choice went to......"Something to Sing About" from the Buffy episode.

day 12 - a song from a band you hate
I can't think of a single band I hate, or one that I'd be bothered actually noting here.
I can think of some genres I avoid - mostly as it sounds like white noise (due to hearing).
Having said that I really do not like the overexposure and voice of John Farnham.
