Hey everyone!

Ack! I haven't been on SO since yesterday when I posted the SO Interview threads (more than 24 hours ago!!). I have been trying to fight off this cold before it worsens, so I have been taking it easy. I've been napping a lot, taking cough syrup, ingesting vitamin C, etc. I ended up feeling better earlier today and going back to the last half of my work shift today. I am now feeling a lot better. I still have the lingering cough and all, but I am doing a little better. So that is my excuse of my absence here.

But anyway, thanks for the questions.... Here are my answers:

* James"Thunder"Early - What is your favorite movie?:
I don't just have one favorite movie or any at all. I do, however, have some all-time favorite movies that I own and find myself enjoying to view over and over and never grow tired of. These movies would be Poltergeist III and Don't Go to Sleep. Don't get me wrong. Even if these movies are horror/thrillers, it doesn't mean I enjoy these genres. I really don't. I just like these movies because of their special effects and the fact I grew up with them. I also like Office Space, The Lizzie McGuire movie, Memoirs of a Geisha, Amelié, and Return to Oz.

swedeace · 03-21-2006, 11:53 PM

* Holly - Whats music do you listen to ?:
My taste in music has been broadening since the last couple of years. It all depends on my mood, but my music taste ranges from EuroDance to EuroPop to foreign language to TV themes to movie scores to Disney foreign songs to 80s music to 90s music to classical to classic rock to easy-listening to many more. Basically, I just don't really like to listen to rap (particularly gangsta rap), alternative, or heavy metal music.

* Holly - Where are you from? What is your favorite Color?:
I'm from the state of New Mexico. My favorite color is lilac. I also like the combo colors of yellow/blue which I consider as the patriotic Swedish flag color.

swedeace · 03-21-2006, 11:59 PM

Wow! I am surprised at how many SOers remember that I am such a HUGE fan of Ace of Base! You guys rock!

* Jack: Texas Smurftractor - Whats your fave Ace of Base song?:
I am going to have to go simple and say their first three American hits: All That She Wants, The Sign and Don't Turn Around. Other than these, I really enjoy their fast-paced, danceable songs such as Beautiful Life, Tokyo Girl, Travel to Romantis, Da Capo, and Cruel Summer (Big Bonus Mix).

* Jack: Texas Smurftractor - Are you embarrassed to admit youre an Ace of Base fan?:
No. Even if Ace of Base is pretty much out of the U.S. music scene, I find it to be such a pleasure to boast about my love and support for Ace of Base. It's interesting to be unique to be known to be as an American "Acer" (our dubbed name for AOB fans). We have a couple of online fan community forums where we all like to communicate with one another. Anyway, I usually incorporate some sort of promotion for Ace of Base in my class projects or while I play music while I sub for the computer classes. So, it's actually fun being unique.

swedeace · 03-22-2006, 12:02 AM

* gilligan fanatic - what magazines do you subscribe to?:
I subscribed to "Redbook" through one of my co-worker friend's teen's school fundraising program. I don't know what's up with their status because I haven't received my first magazine yet. Man, they are slow! pissed: And I also subscribed for about 15 issues of The Walstreet Journal through my college's "student discount" through my Macroeconomics instructor. I am also waiting on those issues to begin. I guess it will be soon because I received an email confirmation this morning.

swedeace · 03-22-2006, 12:09 AM

* _Jen_ - Do you like other versions of the song "The Sign" in addition to the version Ace Of Base sings?
Do you mean cover versions sung by other artists? I have listened to a couple of the American cover versions. Artists such as The Barenaked Ladies have sung a medley of Ace of Base songs. And these two guys named Andy & The Pandys have sung a couple of their songs. I am going to post their songs if anyone is interested in listening:

Barenaked Ladies - Live - Barenaked Rap (Ace of Base Mix):
http://s32.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3...M3B7D2YWN6ELMO

Andy & The Pandys - All That She Wants (acoustic):
http://s32.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...X3M42PV7KXETAP

Andy & The Pandys - The Sign (acoustic):
http://s32.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...M2S8GBR79RD8B4

But to answer your question, Jenny, I am going to have to say that the original Ace of Base song of "The Sign" has been well-sung, well-composed best by them, so it is my favorite.
