It's that time of the month again
It's Friday. I am ready to have a drink or six. While I wait for my toy boy to bring me a drink, I present the September Frankenstein Mix, brought to you by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The Blow Me Mix
1. A holiday song -- Cobra Starship 'Snakes on a Plane (Bring it)!' –- Despite whatever Hollywood may say, the premiere of Snakes on a Plane was a big success for everyone on the intarwebs who told someone else about it, visited the SoaP website or went on opening weekend to see the film. It may not be a traditional holiday, but considering that bloggers, netizens and every hack out there did the marketing for this movie, I'd say that merits a holiday mention.
2. A spring song Corinne Bailey Rae 'Put Your Records On' –- About four months ago (?) maybe six I said that Corinne was going to be the next big thing, but I was on the fence about her music. The fact of the matter is that I'm not off the fence over her, but I am over the fucking moon about this song. A song about supporting the one you love, even when you can admit that it's not always easy. The acoustic version is better, but I don't have it with me at the moment.
3. A sleeping song -- Jeff Buckley 'Dream Brother' –- Oh, c'mon y'all know the drill -- Jeff, Johnny, Gary, Al or Guy. Or Fiona. I haven't recommended a Jeff song in like a month or something. We are SO past due, and this is easily the song for it. There is a child sleeping with his twin/ pictures go wild in a rush of wind/ that dark angel he's shuffling in/ watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled…
4. A sugared song -- Ben Lee 'Household Name' –- Oh Ben when did you start being so clever? A song about all the washed up child stars of the 80s and why you should never ever ever let your child go into showbizness? Stop it! You're totally becoming endearing.
5. A fierce song -- Lily Allen 'Knock'em Out' –- That I'm putting this song here is proof that every song should be listened to at least twice, because when I first heard Lily's stuff early this year I wasn't impressed. And then I was listening to Virgin three weeks ago and one of her songs was on where she was tearing her ex a new one and I said, ROCK!
6. A mysterious song -- Massive Attack 'Teardrop' –- For the love of god, people, this is not just the House theme, this is one of the most beautiful songs of the 90s brought to you by Liz Fraser and Bristol's finest.
7. A yearning song -- Joe Purdy 'Mary May & Bobby' -- I first discovered Joe Purdy about two years ago. He didn't have a proper album, all you could get were mp3s, like 'Day Past a Child' which he doesn't even sing live anymore. And the thing was that I liked his stuff, but it wasn't grabbing me at the time, and then late last yearethrosdemon discovered him properly and sent me his entire catalogue and there was this song about your first love and what you never really get over. I love this song.
8. A satisfied song -- Pink 'Stupid Girls' -- Pink has a special place in my heart for her uncompromising vision, i.e. her glee at telling everybody to go fuck themselves. This song is about those anorexic wax figures that are ruining the minds of today's impressionable girls. Paris Hilton is not a role model damnit! She should be put out the fucking airlock!
9. A mourning song -- Radiohead 'Fake Plastic Trees' –- The quintessential Radiohead sing along song. Far better IMO than Creep, and not just because it's from my favorite Radiohead LP, but because when Thom laments if only he could be who you wanted, you feel his pain. I <3 Thom.
10. A kind song -- M Ward 'Right in the Head' -– Do not confuse M Ward with The Real Tuesday Weld or M People or any of that business. This is a song about wishing the best for your siblings, but mostly that they don't end up like you.
11. A pure song -- Dolly Parton '9 to 5' –- This is a pure song. A song about the pure rage of being forced to slave for The Man to scrape a decent living. I swear sometimes that man is out to get me too, Dolly!
12. A bitter song -- Regina Spektor 'Ode to Divorce' -- I think the title says it all for this one, but when Regina sings that "I don't need your money, I need your car and your love" you know exactly what she means.
