Giving musical thanks.

So, [livejournal.com profile] nifra_idril was talking about her shame over her Hall & Oates love and I said to her, "There is no shame in the Hall & Oates love! I love Hall & Oates", which I totally do. And then I thought about it and planned to make a post of songs that I totally have no shame over, but I realised since I felt no shame over them that that was boring. How can you have shame over 'My Prerogative'?! So, instead, this music post is brought to you by the fine people at Feel Good Inc.*


Ryan Adams 'Rosalie Come and Go' -- From the limited release second CD off of the Gold LP, this song just makes me smile and shake my hips. Generally at the same time.

Doves 'There Goes the Fear' – I wrote an X2 story to this song in the days before YSI, but now that I have YSI, you too can bask in the wonder that is Jimi's voice. This is just a gorgeous song that I cannot recommend highly enough.

Earlimart 'We Drink on the Job' -- I had never heard of Earlimart until the most beloved [livejournal.com profile] kattiya dragged me to see them, and we spent the entire gig convinced that they were a Ravenclaw band and the opening band were a Gryffindor band (we might've had a few drinks before hand). Our entire response, eventually, was, where the hell is the Slytherin band? Which led me to write this little story, Tonight, I'm a Rock and Roll Star

Hall & Oates 'She's Gone' -- Do not pretend not to love the Hall & Oates. Everyone loves the Hall & Oates!!

Charlie Mars 'Simple Things' -- In our previous lifetime, Kassie used to send me lots of CDs just because she could, and sometimes I really loved them (see Ray LaMontagne) and sometimes, well, not so much so. But everyone has a saving grace somewhere on their albums, hopefully, and this happens to be Charlie Mars'.

Urge Overkill ' Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon' -- Yet another fantastic little ditty from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack that'll have you tossing your hair and swinging your hips, but let's just leave the overdose part on the celluloid, kay?

Sarah Vaughn 'Whatever Lola Wants' -- If ever there was a song to seduce someone too, yeah, this would be it. Many many moons ago, Levi used it in a advert where a young lady threw paint on her lovers, who were clad only in jeans, and then used their jeans as her art instillation pieces. It was hot. And very subversive – I was shocked it was by Levi, really.

War 'Low Rider' -- Oh my gods, how I love this song. 'All my friends know the Low Rider...' 70s pimp R&B at it's best. Dude, it's just so fucking catchy.

White Town 'Your Woman' -- Anyone who says they didn't like this song the first time around is a liar. It's too catchy to deny. Plus, hello, how can you not give points to a song that says 'So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways'?!


So, you know, come take, enjoy. Consider it a gift, or a thank you for being such fabulous readers and friends.

Nooooo! You now have me dancing in my seat to 'My Prerogative'!

*is grumpy, yet dancey at the same time*

I am even as we speak listening to the Hall & Oates again, though I have to say my roomate just popped her head into my room and said, "Jesus, you'd think you were going through a break up or something." Some people just sublimate the love, Z, and it's so sad to see. *considers vaguely writing a roomate/She's Gone story and slipping it under her door as retribution*

Your Woman is a damned fine track.

Could you have picked a different Hall and Oates song? That one was sung by creepy Scott Savol on the last season of American Idol, and now I can't hear it without shuddering.

Er. Don't mind me, I'm in a weird mood today.

Wheee for Hall & Oates! I was ridiculously excited when some of the American Idol contestants sang H&O songs last season.

Thanks for low rider!

Aaah, thanks for the nostalgia trip. My mom is passionately in love with Hall & Oates and my name is Sarah, so "Sara Smile" was on constant rotation during my childhood. "She's Gone" is their only other song I remember loving and singing along to all the time. :)

White Town AHAHAHAHA! I forgot about that song :D

I've always meant to get girl, you'll be a woman soon.

Awesome. Downloaded the lot - I'm always curious about stuff I've never heard. You can't have shame over listening to Hall & Oates if you don't know who they are, after all. :D (Note: of course some of those artists are familiar to me, I haven't actually been living under a rock. But there is new stuff. :D)

I love the Sarah Vaughan - what an interesting choice.

...Oooh. iTunes just kicked up Dusty Springfield! It's a oldies session! *grooves*

Low Rider! I'm such a 70s child and don't know how I forgot that song. Thank you!

Free music - yay! *swipes it all* Haven't heard H&O in ages, and am enjoying it all over again :) Forgot all about Your Woman, which is odd as it was my favourite at the time. Thanks!
