I live by the river...

[hackthis_archive]

When life gives you lemons, go have a pint instead. I hear (have gotten messages that) a lot of people are drinking their way home or are safely tucked up already, or were running late (thank the gods). This makes me feel better. So does music.

For everybody who needs a auditory pick-me-up lest the BBC/CNN/MSNBC coverage have you doing your nut…


1. Catatonia 'Londinium' -- Euston, Paddington train station please, make the red lights turn green, endlessly…

2. Embrace 'All You Good Good People -- Lose all your fears/ They are keeping you down/ You won't have to fake it/ While I'm around

3. Annie Lennox 'Don't Let it Bring You Down' -- Old man lying by the side of the road/ With the lorries rolling by

4. Heather Nova 'London Rain' -- Nothing falls like london rain/ Nothing heals me like you do

5. U2 'City of Blinding Lights' -- And I miss you, when you're not around. I'm getting ready to leave the ground…

6. Stevie Wonder 'Living for the City' -- I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow/ And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow

* And a triumvirate of happy classics: Curtis Mayfield 'Move on Up'; Iggy Pop 'Lust for Life' and Earth, Wind & Fire 'Shining Star'


The Clash 'London Calling' -- Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin/ Engines stop running, but I have no fear*

What we are really missing is The Clash 'London Calling' anybody care to put it up for the masses?* Thanks to kellinck and cjmarlowe

Downloading a couple of songs (Catatonia 'Londinium' and Heather Nova) - - Thank you :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[logovo1.livejournal.com]

Oh - Lust for Life. *snags*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

For a vegetarian, Rents, you're a dead eye shot!

[awaysail.livejournal.com]

I've got "London Calling" on my computer, but I don't know how to post it... help?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*pets* It's okay, I have it now, but for future reference if you go to http://www.yousendit.com and fill in the information and upload the file, you can then send it or post it to your own LJ. :)

[awaysail.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your help! *hug*
I've posted a link on my LJ if anyone needs it. :)

I love All You Good, Good People!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You like a song by Embrace? Stop lying. You hate British sad bastard bands.

[k-glorificus.livejournal.com]

I actually also love Catatonia. Hello, WELSH. I love that shit. I am *so* moving to wales when I get rich. I have a whole plan to buy a house for 20K pounds that I might have shared previously.

Stop being so cool, George.

No matter who you are... shining bright to see... Thanks for putting these up.

I know I'm one of those folks that friended you over the RPS,but wanted you to know I was glad to see your name pop up on the ol' flist. Glad to hear you (and yours) are fine, and drinking your way home seems logical and proper.

Your icon says it all.

You're welcome! *hugs back*

[jaxindi.livejournal.com]

Oh god. The Clash made me cry. I blame you.

*sniffles*

[mefeather.livejournal.com]

Have taken all but Heather Nova - that song was already sitting on my computer :D - thanks for the post. We sure need some music. Because that can really help when times are rough.

i want to give you Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks. (i'll email lazlet - bet she has it)

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/k/kinks/79134.html

But I don’t feel afraid
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

[the-oscar-cat.livejournal.com]

ah somehow i missed out that i want to give it to you but can't since i don't actually have it as an mp3.

sorry.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

That you thought of me is really sweet. Thanks!

[lazulus]

I do indeed!

Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yay for music, new and old!

Here's something for you, in return.

Elton John - Curtains (http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1ZU47BSTWR1F40BN4VASUKETAY)

but that's okay
there's treasure children always seem to find
and just like us
you must have had
a once upon a time

[angel-grace.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing; I totally snagged "London Calling." It depresses me somewhat that I didn't have it already. I'd love to reciprocate, but I have figured out exactly how yet. (In the sense of not knowing what to reciprocate with--I think I can figure out the technical details after that. Shutting up now.)

[paige-eliz.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the music. I need happy/bouncy things after hearing about all this.

[lyra-wing.livejournal.com]

I decided to give the Catatonia a try and I love it. Thanks for posting it.

[valancy.livejournal.com]

You're brill. Thanks. :) Smiles today much appreciated.

[kismeteve.livejournal.com]

Iggy!

*dances*

I think I need that today. Thanks. :)
