Music makes the world go round.

a) I wrote more Lee/Helo last night #3: If I Tried (I Could Stay Away Forever)
b) I wrote Ari-fic yesterday afternoon: The Midas Touch. Love Ari. He loves you.
c) I have no idea what to write today.
d) I desire more mp3s. See the list below:

+ Hot Chip (anything)
+ The Devlins (anything except Don't Let it Break Your Heart and The World Outside)
+ Robyn - Do You Really Want Me
+ Robyn – Konichiwa Bitches
+ Robyn - Show Me Love
+ Outkast & Sleep Brown 'I Can't Wait'
+ Stevie Wonder – Fingertips pt II
+ Stevie Wonder - Part-time Lover
+ Stevie Wonder - That Girl
I am sorted, thank you guys!

e) Because it's rude to ask and not give, here's my top five at the moment

5. Zero 7 'Likufanale' – When you first listen to this song it seems so laid back that you think it's just a bunch of harmonizing, and then, about three-and-a-half minutes in an old man starts talking to you. It's brief, but listen to him.

4. Radiohead 'Drunken Punch-up at a Wedding' (live) – I introduced [livejournal.com profile] literaryll to this song, and now, she can't stop talking about it. My love for Thom & Co is well documented, but this song holds a special place in my heart for doing what Thom does so well, which is being surly and telling someone off. I don't know, why you bother. Nothing's ever good enough for you.

3. Panjabi MC 'Mundian To Bach Ke' – a) Bhangra classes should be frakking required in schools. B) Indian music is the all-purpose get up off your arse and dance music. Guaranteed. If you can listen to this and not start dancing you have no soul. None I tell you. You don't have to understand the lyrics to feel the infectiousness.

2. Tom Jones 'It's Not Unusual' – I have a friend, who we will call 'J', who had no idea who Tom Jones was. She knew his music, but not the man, and to me that's like saying you don't know who George Clooney is. It's Tom Jones. Tom fucking Jones! You can't not love Tom Jones, for real.

1. Gnarls Barkley* 'Crazy'[livejournal.com profile] literaryll sent this song to me with the note: this totally makes me think of you. The last song I'd heard this about was The Streets 'Fit But You Know it', which both [livejournal.com profile] ethrosdemon and [livejournal.com profile] kattiya said made them think of me. Obviously, I was a little apprehensive about a song called 'Crazy', but oh my fucking god, it's so good.

*For the record, there is no artist named Gnarls Barkley (more the shame since it's a great rip on Charles Barkley) this is actually a collaboration between Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo.


Heatseeker Chart -- Feist 'Inside and Out' People have been trying to get me to listen to her for months. I have been resolutely saying no, because unless it's Fiona or Alicia or old Motown, or hey, Janis, I'm not really interested. You want to hear this. You really want to hear this.

I have a very deep, passionate, cracktastic love for Radiohead. Zero 7 just make want to lounge around in an enormous bed with a plasma screen and a hot man. But I tend to want that anyway. ;)

Well, damn. You already got all the ones that I have. I could send you some old school Stevie Wonder from "Songs In The Key of Life" when I get home, if you want.

Also, I snagged the Gnarls Barkley, and also the Punjabi MC because I don't have any Bhangra. Thanks for sharing!

YAY!!! *dances around happily*

I hate it when LJ does that!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You know where's a really good place to find bhangra? Movie soundtracks. If you don't quite know what you want, try the soundtracks of Indian and/or Indian/English films, like Bend it Like Beckam or Bride & Predjudice, they tend to have a good mix.

[identity profile] zoetrope.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks - take it if you want!

Also?

New BSG soon!!!!!!

way overexcited

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I have been writing Helo/Lee pron, because well, I can! *preens* I could not be more excited about the new BSG. *loves her show* I am so happy you are watching!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I LOVE Stevie Wonder, yis. I have Do I Do, Living for the City, Uptight and I Was Made to Love Her. And whatever I got just now, otherwise, surprise me :)

I owe Thom a shrine, yo.

[identity profile] zoetrope.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I have all your Helo/Lee bookmarked to inhale in one big gulp of joy... or something less possibly-pornographic. You know what I mean!

You will be pleased to know that I am getting as many people as possible into BSG, right down to my mum who, in a move without precedent, stayed home from work today to finish season one!

*g*

BSG is more important than work. When I first discovered it, I cancelled plans to watch. It's ruined my Friday night schedule,but I prefer going out Sunday-Thursday anyway.

[identity profile] literaryll.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow I really, really like this Indian song. Thank you.

[identity profile] zoetrope.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
We must all make sacrifices for art.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Thom is love. It's no wonder that Blaise fancied him in Trade, because really, wonky eye and all, when he sings? *is ded*

I have the Stevie Wonder song now, but thank you so much for trying!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I also recommend 'Darshan' by B21, which, when you download, you can send to me too :D

Music! Took most of them. My music collection isn't very interesting, but I have a very bouncy Outkast vs Queen mp3, if you want it.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
All music is interesting to me, except Heavy Metal and Hardcore Ganster Rap. And 99% of Christian music, but I like Take 6.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Also, Yes! Please :)

Darshan (http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0HG70HE08SCUI3FA8AO0IBKULK) - This kicks ass. If I weren't at the library I would be dancing.
