\*\*“The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, \*\*by Roberta Flack, during the Clint Eastwood movie \*\*“Play Misty for Me”, \*\*at the Sunset Drive-In, in the Summer of '72 or '73, in my brother’s awesome 1970 Buick Skylark Grand Sport. Aaaahh. There are many a day that I daydream about going back in time to recapture that…car. If I had a time machine I would go back and just drive off and leave that 13 year old future ex-wife at the popcorn stand. It was a fucking great car! ---

Silence. It was in the middle of the night when others in the house were sleeping. I like answering this question with “silence”—it sounds so zenny. ---

That would have to be Led Zeppeliin’s Song Remains the Same album. ---

The Cars’ “My Best Friends Girl” because she was. He got even with me by marrying my little sister. She found out she was gay - lesbian -LGBT? Whatever passes as the new term for she left my brother in law for another woman. TMI? ---

I don’t remember what was playing but I’m sure something was. We were into 1976 style Album Oriented Rock as the genre was called. I very much associate the song["Daydream" by Robin Trower](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3DsErlBPdY&feature=fvsr) (from the Live album) with the event because that was playing on the cassette deck as I was driving home and very much fit the mood I was in. I lobbied hard for that to be “our song” but she vetoed. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > Ride of the Valkyries. It was epic. Wow that **is** epic. Was it a deliberate choice, or just what happened to be queued up? So far I think Led Zeppelin is in the lead with 3 hits. Recently my girlfriend asked me to put on some Thievery Corporation while we did the squirm and slither. Thievery Corporation is great for those languid sexy moods. ---

> [@Colophon](#): > > I don’t actually remember but I strongly suspect it was the album _Maxinquaye_ by Tricky. That and _Dummy_ by Portishead were my go-to shag albums of the mid-90s. Those are great shagging albums. Also, the first two Massive Attack albums. For myself, I fear it was _In The Flat Field_, by Bauhaus. On a separate occasion, I had my first massive whitey to the same album. Probably during [_Rosegarden Funeral of Sores_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqVdKRa0g2s) to be honest, both times. ---

Just the music of nature—we were in a VW Beetle, and it was raining. The sound of rain on a tin roof still gets me hot. ---

There is no music I would ever want to have sex to, now or then. ---

I don’t remember the song, but the DJ was Wolfman Jack. Really. (station XERF, I think) God I’m old. ☹ ---

None…she’d turned off her car before she dragged me into the back seat. (I’m not kidding. 🙂 ) ---

Big Country’s album “The Crossing” on her car stereo. “In A Big Country” was playing at the Moment of Truth. ---

Never thought about it before; it happened late one Saturday night in September 1975, in the Chess Booth at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. I don’t recall any music playing at the moment, but not long prior to the Big Event a couple of guys were singing Tom Lehrer’s “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park” around a bonfire; the next morning, a bagpiper was playing “Mairi’s Wedding” as she and I said our goodbyes (never saw her again, either). I guess if I associate any music with that weekend, it’d be those two songs. ---

Soundtrack of _The Sorrow And The Pity_. (actually it was the Doors and it was fabulous…) ---

It was an eight-track tape of Jethro Tull. It may have been a greatest hits type of thing, but I vividly remember hearing, “Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day” more than once and vaguely being aware that the eight-track was repeating. ---

> [@BrotherCadfael](#): > > Heart’s “Crazy On You”. That song was very popular at the time I first started having regular sex and is strongly associated in my mind with my first sex partner. She was a huge Heart fan. See also: Magic Man. 😛 ---
