Help a starving writer get inspired

[hackthis_archive]

I have a favour to ask of you lot (no, not body disposal). I have been listening to the same mp3s fifteen times a day for nine months, and really, it's starting to grate and my plot bunnies are starting to riot. So -- I need something new. Something shiny. I need something I've never heard before -- or something I've heard but might have forgotten.

Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses Matt Nathanson, your Tchaikovsky, your Jigga-what Jigga-who, your Ryan or Jeff or Snoop or Weekend Players, Portishead, Morcheeba, Massive Attack. Give me never-released Verve stuff! Give me your much-loved demos. Let's talk live recordings and 90s Brit-rock. Give me Motown and the Stones. The Beatles, the Supremes and the Strokes. Give me your Modest Mouse and other animal bands. Give me something you think I'll love. Give me something you think I've never heard. You have a song that reminds you of me* or Theodore or Seth or Jamie or hey, even Lex? Let me hear it. Please?

Stick on your website. Yousendit. Attach it by carrier pigeon, just you know, hook me up!

C'mon it's not like I'm asking for money blood. Hell, you can just send me someplace where I can DL stuff and I'll be happy -- but then I might wind up unemployed, so yeah, no kazaa or winx. I already have plenty of experience with them. Not of the illegal sort. No, never. Napsterwhat?

ETN: You guys are spoiling me rotten! Don't stop! (Thank you :)

ETN #2: I see now that the way to find out who you people are is not to ask, but to send up a distress cry for music. ::makes note::

Random lurker offerings

[(Anonymous)]

Hello.

I'm a random lj-less lurker, but I couldn't resist your cry for music. So my offerings:
First a few from the wonderful Tom Waits:

Romeo Is Bleeding (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1564F92E7F4A001181E780B302FEE85A/)
New Coat Of Paint (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=80C702E52E2A88135EF6504B44D2A030/)
San Diego Serenade (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=EE426E130030AB1510531502A5B53CA9/)
Fumblin' With The Blues (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=C0973838A609B61A1BED6A5EA1B08F76/)
Please call me, Baby (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=67ABD2F72A6AF8A65843A6DAE33678B5/)

Some relatively playful classical music:
Slavonic Dances, Furiant op. 46, no. 8 (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=E6CD12A165E50E1F711C1C18BCF0E83C/) by Dvorak
Je te veux (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=42911232E747B32A12BB47A06BED4F64/) by Satie, performed by Jean-Yves Thibaudet

Some jazz:
Visa från Utanmyra (http://http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=370C9D5D90B9898A11BB6E6F433DD570/) by Jan Johansson
The Köln Concert, Part II C (live) (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=6D82D535C6DBA267D79748410A2FA9E5/) By Keith Jarret
Die Moritat von Mackie Messer (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1564F92E7F4A001181E780B302FEE85A/) from "Die Dreigroschenoper" by Kurt Weil
Deirdres Samba (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=155E1D5F660B4D836C988073A79C60AF/) by Cornelis Vreeswijk, a legendary Swedish folksinger. Alas, it's in Swedish, but hopefully you can get the feel of the song anyway.

Some random rock:
Oscillate Wildly (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=F1D27FC9F02EA434151780DB264D95A5/) by The Smiths
Ompa til du dør (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=32129EC20043BCD339E1D3CF86BE3C29/) by Kaizers Orchestra
Down On Me (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=045AA65A94DD3E7E1EC91BFFA6C4FA8F/) by Janis Joplin

And at last some sentimental Edith Piaf:
Les Amants D'un Jour (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=EEED6A3A2268573B9342B62D2E7C55D9/)

So. That was my offerings, I tried for some pieces that weren't mentioned in your comments, I hope that at least some of them was to your liking. The Köln Concert by Keith Jarret is very long, so I chose the shortest piece, not the best. If you are interested in the rest of it (or anything else, e.g. translations of some of the lyrics, more music etc.) you can let me know at "BookSad AT netscape DOT net" and I'll upload.

Thank you for all of your writings and all of your fandoms.
