Your music shite, it keeps me up all night.

Fiona Apple 'Blues on Christmas' -- I tend to have the same reaction to Fiona that I do to Jeff, and Gary & Co, and Thom & Co, and Guy & Co. "It's X, it cannae be bad!"

Ryan Adams 'Cannonball Days' – Another song off of the Limited Release 2nd Disc from the Gold LP. I've been listening to this LP a lot recently as it's become rather obvious of late that Ryan's not the artist he used to be. Ryan's always been prolific, but the last few albums are just, well, not good. Ryan's always been a bit depressed and manic, but he's lost that jaded optimism that he used to have. He's replace quality with quantity, and I miss his stories. I miss the orange shirts and ass shaking, too.

Eels 'Everything's Gonna be Cool this Christmas -- The next time you say to yourself, "Self, I wonder what kind of person [livejournal.com profile] hackthis is?" you can answer, "[livejournal.com profile] hackthis the kind of person who just leaves Christmas music on rotation all year, because that shit is gonna come around again 300-odd days from now. Plus, who doesn't love Christmas music in June?"

Damien Rice 'Woman Like a Man' (live) -- I'm not a fan of Damien Rice, really, but he does have some fabulous singles, like 'Delicate' and 'Volcano'. This song isn't like them at all. This is hard, and hot, and fast, and if there are other people around, you might want to turn it down because it's seriously vulgar. In short, this is the version of Damien Rice I can really get behind.

Snow Patrol 'When I Get Home for Christmas' -- It's Gary. Do I need to say anything else? Yeah, didn't think so.


Bonus track:

Aretha Franklin 'Eval Gal Blues' -- [livejournal.com profile] literaryll posted this for my birthday and when I saw the title and the artist, I said, "Ooooooh". No, really, I did say "Oooooh" and with good reason. This is my song. It could be my theme. It could be yours too. Damn it feels good to be a gangster Slytherin.


ETA: Because somebody was in a snit about the Ryan Adams song being a .wma file, I've gone and DL'd a temp rip program, which expires in like a day or two, but I thought I would share the whole Gold Disc 2, since I'd done all the work anyway: 1. Rosalie Come and Go 2. The Fools We Are as Men 3. The Bar is a Beautiful Place 4. Cannonball Days. Please if you like it, go and buy the whole thing!

I used this one, chicken (http://www.download.com/Easy-CD-DA-Extractor/3000-2140_4-10347518.html?tag=lst-4-2), but it's only a trial basis type of thing.

I've listened to the last two, 29 and Jacksonville City Nights, and they're both the same goddamn song. Ryan, I am so disappointed in you right now. *sighs*

Thanks a bunch for the songs. I've dl'd the Snow Patrol and Eels songs. I'm so glad you introduced me to SP.

Don't know the folks aside from Aretha and Fiona, but I went "Fiona! ...ARETHA?! *downloads liek whoa*" I am also downloading the others to see what they sound like. Thanks for sharing, babe!

Dowloaded the Christmas songs. ♥ Christmas

Because somebody was in a snit
Ha, I totally knew that *somebody* was Kassie as soon as I saw it!

OMG. There's this Sound of Music thing on tv and there's a BIIIG drag queen singing Do-Re-Mi o_0 Never thought I'd see something like that in my life.

You rock. So, so so hard. Fiona! Ryan! Snow Patrol AND Aretha!!! Thank you for the gifties.

I think it's just my computer, as no one else has said anything, but Rosalie Come and Go hates me and refuses to download. That link will probably expire before the others becase I tried to download like 3 or 4 times before I threw my hands in the air and said "fuckit!" Just a heads up. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for the awesome music, especially the cool Christmas tunes. I remember when they used to introduce Ryan Adams as the "former singer of Whiskeytown" all the time -- before he got uber-famous on his own. I loved that band, and I still like a lot of his stuff.

Thanks so much!

I like Damien Rice
but I have to agree, those songs, that are only played live because they are to vulgar for an album, are his best
It always makes me angry when a TV station wants to show a full concert, but makes him censor "Woman like a man" and "The professor" even if the kids Version of Professor is really funny

You are very welcome!

I can't have another go just at the moment, but if you like, and if you remind me on Monday, I will reupload it just for you :)

I remember that too!

I don't think the songs are too vulgar for an album inasmuch as they're too much for "a Damien Rice album" -- it all reeks of marketing to me. Obviously they're looking for a certain niche market, which is fine, but the idea that that particular market just pines and never like to fuck or get high is a bit thick, IMO.

I love you and the person who made you turn the Ryan Adams songs into mp3s SO MUCH right now. :x

Thanks! Although, no need to go through any extra trouble on my behalf, especially if no one else seems to be having issues with it.

The little voice in the back of my head that sounds like my mother insisted I throw that out there. The big voice in the front of my head that sounds like a five year old is all GIMME! Whichever one you listen to is completely up to you.

These are wonderful. Thank you.

You are very welcome :)

It was still being wonky, so I switched to the laptop and it downloaded with no problem. Sometimes, just sometimes, I despise technology. Mainly when it outwits me.

Thanks a bunch, hon!
