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.

Hell if I know how to format this, but this is the mash up;

For good measure- Smoke, Baby by Hawksley Workman.

Let me know if they don't work, and I'll figure something out.

Yay, thank you!

I am! (I'm also surreptitiously stalking your comments and nicking things people send you. :D Ah, Robyn... good times. I haven't listened to her in so long.)

I want to send you something cool so I can feel entitled to ask if you have Sex Bomb, but I don't know what I have that you'd want and don't already have. How about my favourite bit of Punjabi:
Mela - Chori Chori Gori Se (http://s26.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1EDT5L7CIBP321PV9320V0RU7E)

i play a tom jones "best of" cd at work all the time. i think sometimes that my coworkers want to kill me for it, but dude! what else can make a person so happy about pricing something as "thunderball"?

and i have a really sick desire to karaoke "it's not unusual". i am consumed with this. XD

Tom Jones! Tom Fucking Jones! *smirks*

LOL. Woudl you happen to have Sexbomb? Someone else here asked me for it, but I don't have it to share.

[insert shit-eating grin here]

For what do live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and to laugh at them in their turn?

I haven't listened to Robyn in ages, but she's hot in Norway again with her new album, and I was all, HEY! As for Sexbmob, I do not have it in my posession, but I have asked someone on your behalf if they happen to have it to hand :)

::delurk::

Oooh, new music ideas! I love your music posts -- I've discovered tons of new stuff through them.

I wish I was able to send you some of the stuff you're looking for, but I have none of it, alas. Unless you were looking for more Feist? Do you know the one she did with the Kings of Convenience?

Also, your Lee is breaking my heart.

Hmm, apparently, what I really covet is Skeletons, do you have that?

Took the MC Panjabi. While I'm waiting for it to download, I would like to say that people who don't like Tom Jones are philistines, the lot of them. My favorite shoe store also sells awesome handbags, the awesomest of which is a plywood-sided thing with, on one side, a 1960s Jones album cover, and on the other side, the actual vinyl album. If it didn't cost $70, I would snap it up like whoa.

Also, I know you like George, so here's T.R. Knight as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at the Guthrie Theater in 2001. I tried to find a picture on the Internets of five-year-old T.R. playing Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol, but was thwarted at every turn. I have seen one in the local newspaper, though, and it's even cuter than you'd imagine.

And now I'm off to read your new Ari story.

Oh and if you want anything else- say, arabic, more hindi stuff, japanese, australian or french my playlists could be checked into :) Or dreamlike stuff of the enya ilk...

Oh, thank you!

I'm so late to comment on this, a thousand pardons, I have no excuse -- oh wait, my computer died. SCORE! Um, yes, so, anyway, I'm so pleased you liked the music, I made another post today, so hopefully you'll find something you like there too. Oh, and I would totally love some Feist. i only have two songs of hers, Inside & Out and Mushaboon (boom?)
