Good lawrd Tim, that's a LOT of skating!

I have only done 3 competitions:
2007 CAN (Adult Nationals) & Super Skate 2007, "Don't Fence Me In" by Squeek Steele

2008 CAN
Interpretive, "Dunsmore Lassies" by The Chieftains
Bronze Free, "O'Sullivan's March" by The Chieftains

The one piece I WANT to skate to before I give up Freeskate, when I am good enough, is "Love Is Blue" by Paul Marriot. That was my Freeskate program music when I wrecked in 1969 before I got a chance to compete with it. That would sort of bring me "full circle" and clear up unfinished business

(A.O.S.S.? Got it BAD! )

I've mostly skated to soundtrack music:

Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Hudson Hawk
Stargate
Shrek
The Mummy
Under the Tuscan Sun

This year, however; I'm skating to Malaguena

__________________
I've got mad salchow disease!

Let's see if I remember it all:

Ever After Soundtrack
Cirque Du Soliel
The Mermaid by Yanni
Time to Say Goodbye
Pachebel's Canon in D
Classical Gas, Vanessa Mae's version
Disney Illuminations
Desperate Love, which was Nancy Kerrigan's 94 short music

I REALLY, REALLY want to do The Feeling Begins, because that's been my all time favorite piece of music since Jill Trenary skated to it in 1993. I'm not sure I could do it justice though. I'd need a really good choreographer to make me look ok skating to me.

Pre-pre FS- Bond "Quixote"
Prelim FS- Bond "Explosive"

ISI FS 3ish - Chicago "All that Jazz"

ISI FS 5 Character- Bye Bye Birdie "Kids"

Youtube Videos

"Won't get fooled again" by The Who. I'd do an ice slide at 100mph the length of the rink when Rodger does his primal scream at the end.

Skated or skating:
-der spion (by schandmaul, it's a german band, the title means "the spy")
-faith of the heart (star trek enterprise theme)
-17 moments of spring theme instrumental

want to:
Faraway and Ruska by Apocalyptica for a normal programme
Matrix Reloaded theme (Joubert did a Matrix programme to this 2 years ago)
Paint it black instrumental version

Rev 22:20 by Puscifier for an Underworld-themed artistic programme
"Bang bang my baby shot me down" by Nancy Sinatra for a KillBill-themed artistic
Passive by A Perfect Circle for a Constantine-themed artistic
Face to Face by Siouxie for an artistic
You Don't Own Me by Rasputina or by Lesley Gore for an artistic
Timmy der Hamster by Zander Frank for an artistic, wearing a hamster outfit
Star Trek Polka for an artistic wearing a Star Trek uniform.
Casablanca by Gypsy Kings for something spanish/moroccan themed artistic

As you can imagine, I have a hard time choosing. I'm going almost certainly with Puscifier for my next artistic, cuz I could re-use parts of my current artistic and normal programme for that programme, meaning I'll have to put less time in it to practice steps and such, leaving more room to focus on my technical skating. I could also re-model the costume afterwards for either a paint-it-black or a matrix normal programme or for most of the artistic programmes I have in mind, saving money on materials and time.

I have only skated to one piece so far, the Titanic theme. I would love to skate to:

Malaguena
Swan Lake
Romeo and Juliet
Palladio
Step Up ^_^

wow... I've been at this for a while

Hey Tim, nice tastes! A lot of these pieces are favorites of mine too! But I only "skate to them" in the form of listening to them on my earphones while practicing. I do happen to have a good many of these on my iPod already.
