George Pringle began recording demos on a broken two-deck karaoke machine at home during the school holidays. Now 22, George makes electronic music on her iBook G4 (which she calls Truman) and recites monologues over the tracks.

1. A song to fall in love to: My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes

It can transform any adult into a wobbling mess - it's so incredibly melancholic and fuzzy. I used to lie on my back in my room listening to this at an earsplitting volume in earphones on the floor and just weeping, totally weeping and feeling that terrible hopelessness of love. You can't hear the vocals very well so you can catch the odd word but the lyrics don't matter so much. Every time I fell in love and things weren't working or it was unrequited, I'd listen to this song and feel sorry for myself. There was something nice and simple about that.

2. A song to wake up to: Daft Punk - Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger

3. A song to fight to: Patti Smith – Land

I love this. It's got the momentum at the beginning of conflict and then it travels through the tension into this scrappy, garage-y goove and 60s pop vibe that makes me think of choreographed swooping punches. I listened to this record on tape for the first time during my punk phase. I drank a heap of Red Bull and went to the playground and listened to "Punk and New Wave masters of the universe" or whatever I called that mixtape. It was probably just called "Kool SHIT, man" or something.

4. A song to drive to: Pixies - Here Comes Your Man

It's got the road trip feel to it. When this is loud and the sun is going down a bit and you're covered in sand in the back of a car, it fits.

5. A song to seduce someone to: The Kills - Passion Is Accurate

6. A song to have played at your funeral: Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime

I'd quite like the last song my body experienced to be this. I think David Byrne is a good musical hero to bring to the grave with you. It also feels like the end of everything. The film that was your life. It makes light of a tricky situation and it has that amazing gospel-like chorus. It's pure genius. The lyrics feel like a reflection on mortality. You could easily cry or smile to this song, I like that quality about it. I experienced this track for the first time on VH1. “Who is this maniac and why is he so fucking cool?” was precisely what I was thinking.

7. The song that always makes you laugh: George Clinton - Atomic Dog

It should be so wrong but it's just so right.

8. The song to have hangovers to: The Velvet Undergound - All Tomorrow's Parties

9. The song that reminds you of your family: Queen - Radio Gaga

This was the first song I ever danced to. I remember it even though I was about two. I got up in my baby grow and raised my arms to the sky. There are pictures of it, it was like I was on drugs. I was dribbling down my baby grow and laughing hysterically and rolling around on the carpet like a wild animal and my mum and brother are just laughing and watching on, bewildered.

10. The song you hate the most: Elliot Smith – Twilight

Oh for god's sake. The fact he is dead should really stop me from slagging this track but it doesn't. It's just so plodding and circular. It's like a carousel of gloom and it sounds like coffee shop music. Where Sometimes is uplifting and abstract, this is detailed and dreary. Do something constructive with your misery!

11. The song you play just before you're about to dump someone: The Human League - Don't You Want Me

12. A song to bury the body of your enemy to: Ricardo Villalobos – Dexter

It would fit at any mildly sinister moment in a film. If I were to bury an enemy, this would be blasting out my car stereo in the lay-by where I was digging a trench in the rain with a pair of gardening gloves on.

13. Favourite novelty song: The Smurfs - I've Got A Little Puppy

This is just divinely trashy. My cousin and I used to play it on a big old black ghetto blaster outside my brother’s room to wind him up when we were about nine or ten. My brother was into his Nirvana and Green Day and it was the perfect way to wind him up, playing this ghastly synthy euro-trashy crap on a cassette and dancing around until he was driven out of his room in a rage.

14. Best track to cheer you up when depressed: Crystal Castles - Air War

15. The one song that makes the world a better place: M83 - Run Into Flowers

Because it's beautiful. It feels like being stuck in a computer game but the computer game is sad and trying to sing something to you but you can't make out what it is.
