Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] fjm...

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer.

I don't really know much about music, myself, despite coming from a family of musicians—my mother started competing and getting trophies for her accordion playing at age 5, and was in her school orchestra all through school.

Here's an example, though, just so you can see what I mean. The original of REM's "Losing Your Religion" on youtube, which is in a minor key, and then a version that someone used some kind of technology to alter so that it was in a major key.

What I like is stuff that goes the opposite direction, but this is a cool example in that it isn't a cover, so there's absolutely no difference in the performance to distract from the difference in the music itself.
