Icon Meme For No Good Reason

Duly stolen from several people, but Callie is the most recent.

Which of my icons make you immediately recognise me without looking at my username?

That would have to be a dead heat between

(a) Your long-standing Grrrr!Jim Morrison icon and

(b) Your Jimmy Page "Bustle in Hedgerow OPTIONAL" icon, going back to that discussion we had on Y!M that night ;)

*Hugs*

Thanks. Except that it's Robert Plant.

*Palmsface* I can NEVER get them the right way around.

It's easy: Jimmy is the smack addict with the guitar, Robert is the blond one who dresses to the left.

Probably your default, Clare. Considering it's the one I've seen the most..

Yeah. That's what I thought meself. I might change my default eventually but I'd have difficulty choosing what to replace it with.

The decisions in my life are so traumatic.

Lol.. I think if you changed it, I'd have a hard time finding your entries, seeing as you have NO HP icons.. :P

I know! Isn't that weird? I'm sure I used to have one but ditched it in favour of, like, Labyrinth or something. Huh.

I think you've got room for some HP icons! I counted yours and you've only got about eleven or something. ;)

The usual suspects - Percy, Jim, Errol, Dino and George...and Freddie:-)

[identity profile] apolla.livejournal.com 2004-01-07 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
So.... all of them, then?

[identity profile] annearchy.livejournal.com 2004-01-07 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ummm... yeah :) This surprises you, does it?? *cackles*

Forgot to tell you, Daniel Radcliffe recently told an interviewer that if he really were a wizard he "would bring John Lennon back to life, because he was a genius." Smart little w00bie :-)

Aside from the 'YOU CAN'T BRING PEOPLE BACK FROM THE DEAD EVEN IN THE MAGICAL WORLD' thing, I can't fault his choice.

Apparently Dan hasn't read all of JKR's interviews ;-)

[identity profile] ladyaeryn.livejournal.com 2004-01-07 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. The Jim and Percy ones, I'd say.

[identity profile] apolla.livejournal.com 2004-01-07 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
People see Jim Morrison and Robert Plant and think of me....

This might be a bad thing but for the life of me I can't imagine why

*snickers and runs off to bed*

Grrr

Percy! and Jim!

Oh! Two things: 1) I found a cd of The Door's L.A. Woman album. Will be getting it tonight after I get paid (that's the only reason I didn't get it tonight) and 2) I saw in Guitar One magazine that next month they're doing a profile on The Darkness. Want a copy?

[identity profile] apolla.livejournal.com 2004-01-08 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
LA Woman is a great album. I recommend The Changeling and Hyacinth House a lot. And L'America. Actually, the whole thing was a fantastic return to form for the band.

Don't worry about the magazine- I can track it down here in England I think, but thanks muchly for the Darkness heads up!

[identity profile] cadey.livejournal.com 2004-01-09 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I got L.A. Woman free when I bought Presence. Still have yet to listen to it though, as I've not quite finished with listening to Houses of the Holy yet. And I heard D'yer Mak'er again today.

Welcome for the heads up. If you can't find a copy, let me know and I'll get it out to you. :) There was also a Guitar Legends magazine that was published out here. Of course, it was all about Jimmy and the various guitars he used to get some of those wild sounds. But it was cool. (My brain is so gone. Sorry for rambling.)

D'yer Mak'er is a great song which many critics at the time made the mistake of taking seriously. Dunno if you know this, but there's a joke from roughly that time that goes like this:

Bloke 1: My wife's gone off on holiday.
Bloke 2: Jamaica?
Bloke 3: No, she went of her own accord.

And that, I believe is the origin of the title and the rest is a bunch of blokes taking the piss out of doo wop.
