This entry was originally 100 questions long...

But I'm only gonna do 21, cause 100 is too long. Basically, it's what comes to mind when you think of certain bands.

1. Nirvana- Thanksgiving. Weird, I know. But my cousin Zad used to play lots of Nirvana songs on the guitar, and I only see him when we go down to L.A. for Thanksgiving. So.

2. Sublime- I get this image of very blue, but very murky water and a white sand beach with palm trees. It's because of that song "Reef." I know, I know, it's not really about a coral reef, but that's what my mind conjures up.

3. Depeche Mode- Purple mohawks. And really red roses. And pining for somebody you can't have.

4. Linkin Park- The screamy guy, Chester, because he's so nerdy and yet so hardcore.

5. No Doubt- Oranges. Because of Tragic Kingdom. And Gwen's haircolor.

6. Rage Against the Machine- How without Zack they're not that great, so they had to go find Chris Cornell and become Audioslave in order to not suck.

7. U2- Every single kind of weather you could think of, but especially a clear, cold, sunny day. I like the line, "Run... run... into the arms... of America."

8. Green Day- Um... there's this really annoying girl I know who dresses like a faux punk, and uses the word "fag" and "gay" like they're stupid things. To put it bluntly, she just doesn't get it. And she thinks she's hardcore. But I could beat the shit out of her. It's a good thing I'm a tolerant person.

9. Beastie Boys- Stained couches and empty red plastic cups! Yay for frat parties. (sarc.)

10. Red Hot Chili Peppers- Los Angeles. "Under the Bridge." Long hair on guys.

11. Blink-182- Um... how I wanted to scrub my eyeballs when I saw that video where they're wearing girls clothes. Eew.

12. System of a Down- That line where they go "My tapeworm tells me what to do."

13. The Smashing Pumpkins- The smell of lilac talcum powder... girls I know who cut themselves when they're depressed... the smell of hair pomade... clear lip gloss... magic.

14. Korn- I remember my little sister being scared when the lead singer talked backwards.

15. Bob Marley- Pure. Relaxation. And I sang "No Woman No Cry" to Cj one time when he was depressed. Cause I'm a dork.

16. Metallica- James Hetfield was so cool. Now he's trying to do the angry thing while not being angry, and it just doesn't work. And I HATE Lars Ulrich. He's an asshole.

17. The Offspring- I had a really good friend who I lost to drugs (lost in the sense that she ran away and never came back) and I visited her house freshman year in high school and we dressed up in kimonos and danced to "She's Got Issues."

18. The Cure- The episode of South Park where Robert Smith fights Barbara Streisand.

19. Incubus- Brandon Boyd's amazingly cute fashion sense. And that video with the animation of his drawing.

20. Stone Temple Pilots- Boys in Eyeliner.

21. Pearl Jam- A lot of vague feelings here... but "Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town" is brilliant and makes me feel wistful.
