Tell us a little about yourself.</STRONG>&nbsp;<IMG src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27757i9B672D0C70C8F3E6/image-size/medium?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="retrosnatch.jpg" title="retrosnatch.jpg" align="right" /></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>Hey, my name is Molly, I'm from North Carolina (USA). I work in Tech Support at a ticketing company. I'm an avid record collector, and I love going to live shows. I host a weekly radio show on <A href="http://littleraleighradio.org/" target="_blank">littleraleighradio.org</A>&nbsp;every <SPAN class="aBn" data-term="goog_738651499"><SPAN class="aQJ">Tuesday</SPAN></SPAN> night.&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><STRONG>So, what kind of music are you into?</STRONG></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>It might be easier to ask what kinds of music am I NOT into, haha. I will listen to almost anything at least once. My wheelhouse though is 80s/90s darkwave: Bauhaus, The Smiths, The Cure etc. I can't get enough of it. Secondly, I try to stay current with new releases and so far this year, I've had Catfish &amp; the Bottlemen, Dan Mangan + Blacksmith and Susanne Sundfør on repeat.&nbsp;<BR /></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><STRONG>Madonna took a tumble at the Brit awards this week.&nbsp;What's the most public embarassment you've ever been in? (If you don't mind sharing!)</STRONG></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>One of my most embarrassing moments was at a (remarkably not canceled) Morrissey show. The show&nbsp;was in Richmond, VA at a place called The National. Morrissey handed me the microphone and asked, "Do you have anything earth-shattering&nbsp;to say?" I was in shock at the moment, so all I could think of to say in the moment was a very lame, "We love you!" He scowled and said, "Very witty." I was thoroughly embarrassed. Later of course, I thought of the perfect thing I should have said which was one of his own lyrics, "We've all gone to The National." But like always, I didn't think of that until it was too late...Ugh...</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><STRONG>We announced this week that we're bringing lyrics to the desktop app? What are some of your favourite ever song lyrics?</STRONG></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>I am so excited for this feature!&nbsp;And speaking of Morrissey, so many of his lyrics (solo and from The Smiths) spring to mind. He's a fantastic lyricist. I also love Stephin Merritt's lyrics (Magnetic Fields, The 6ths, Gothic Archies, etc). Tori Amos writes strikingly beautiful poetry set to music. Some examples:&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>Morrissey: "I've been stabbed in the back so many times, I don't have any skin."</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>"Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body? I don't know."</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>and “the pain was enough to make a shy, bald Buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder”</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>Stephin Merrit: “</SPAN><SPAN>my heart's running round like a chicken with its head cut off, all around the barnyard falling in and out of love”</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>“All the things I knew I didn't know and didn't want to know that you told me just to tell me later that you'd told me so”</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>Tori Amos: “So you can make me come, that doesn’t make you Jesus”</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>“So you are a superstar. Get off the cross, we need the wood”</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>“So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts. What's so amazing about really deep thoughts? Boy, you best pray that I bleed real soon. How's that thought for you?”</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>Also, Tori likes to start lyrics with “so” apparently. haha</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN><STRONG>Thanks for taking the time to chat with us. Before we go, what joke always makes you laugh?</STRONG></SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>I am very easily amused and laughing is my most favorite thing to do in the world. The sillier a joke is, the more I laugh. I love slapstick comedy like all of Mel Brooks’ movies and the Naked Gun series and Airplane! and Monty Python. Some of my favorite comedians are one-liners like Steven Wright and Mitch Hedberg. The jokes my kids tell me are hilarious. Here are a couple:</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>Q: What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back?</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>A: A stick!</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>Q: What do you call a pig with three eyes?</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>A: a piiig.</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>Those slay me!</SPAN></P> Fri, 24 Apr 2015 07:26:51 GMT meahtenoha 2015-04-24T07:26:51Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/ba-p/1121322 <P><IMG src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27756iE19BF2A25E629F6F/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="Backstage-pass.png" title="Backstage-pass.png" /></P> Fri, 24 Apr 2015 07:26:51 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/ba-p/1121322 meahtenoha 2015-04-24T07:26:51Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/bc-p/1121625#M4546 <P>Thanks, guys!!&nbsp;<img id="heart" class="emoticon emoticon-heart" src="https://community.spotify.com/i/smilies/16x16_heart.gif" alt="Heart" title="Heart" /><SPAN><img id="heart" class="emoticon emoticon-heart" src="https://community.spotify.com/i/smilies/16x16_heart.gif" alt="Heart" title="Heart" /></SPAN><SPAN><img id="heart" class="emoticon emoticon-heart" src="https://community.spotify.com/i/smilies/16x16_heart.gif" alt="Heart" title="Heart" /></SPAN></P> Fri, 24 Apr 2015 19:35:54 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/bc-p/1121625#M4546 mollybeee 2015-04-24T19:35:54Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/bc-p/1122366#M4547 <P>Nice to meet you Molly!&nbsp;<img id="smileyvery-happy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyvery-happy" src="https://community.spotify.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif" alt="Smiley Very Happy" title="Smiley Very Happy" /></P> Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:05:53 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/bc-p/1122366#M4547 OviiiOne 2015-04-26T18:05:53Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/bc-p/1122585#M4548 <P>Nice to meet you! <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Mon, 27 Apr 2015 10:17:05 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/bc-p/1122585#M4548 MichaelW 2015-04-27T10:17:05Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/bc-p/1125643#M4549 <P><a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/724983">@mollybeee</a> Yes, it's nice to meet you <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Sat, 02 May 2015 05:05:17 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intros-Meet-Molly/bc-p/1125643#M4549 Erkan_Yılmaz 2015-05-02T05:05:17Z
