Musak Tuesday!

[hackthis_archive]

1. Recon Marines are required to be able to hold their breath for four minutes. Do you know how long that is? Try holding your breath for longer than 25 seconds.

2. I think I may love Entourage again. I've been wary, because last season sucked hardcore, but on Sunday night my Ari was back and I could only think 'Took fucking long enough, asshole!'

3. I couldn't decide whether I should write Brad/Nate porn or Michael/Ryan porn, so I decide to go with Option C and post music instead. I know you love my decision making processes. I have been culling my libraries recently, because quality over quantity is important to me. So, from 143 potential possibilities, here are ten (thirteen) songs that I have gathered up from the Try Some New Shit Bin (as it were), that I insist you all must have. Enjoy!

Ten (Thirteen) Songs to Grow On

1. Dead Heart Bloom 'Who Will You Love' <-- I have played this every day for a week.
2. Rosie Thomas 'Much Farther to Go'
3. Spiritualized 'Soul on Fire' <-- Jason used to be in love with Richard's wife, Kate, before she was Richard's wife and when she played in Jason's band, and if you followed that seamlessly, I might've gotten drunk with you at V98
4. Silversun Pick-Ups 'Lazy Eye' (Jason Bentley Remix)
5. Laura Marling 'Night Terror'
6. Mexican Institute of Sound 'Escribime Pronto' < -- Loosely translated it means, "Write me right now and tell me how crazy this song is. I'm being patient. Really."
7. The Airborne Toxic Event 'Sometime Around Midnight' <-- I played this five times this morning.
8. Plastilina Mosh 'My Party' <-- Dance song du jour.
9. The Wood Brothers 'Walk Away'
10. Peder 'The Sour' <-- This song is laid back like Sunday mornings reading the paper, drinking tea and trying to remember how many people you kissed last night.
11. Johnnie Newman 'Birds of Paradise'
12. Pistolera 'Nuevos Ojos'
13. Matt Costa 'Never Looking Back' <-- Yes, I've posted this twice. It's that good. Have it again.

I think, in all honesty, that because you can't figure out what to write and you've teased us with both, you should do something that involves marines holding their breath for a long time.

And just to point out? Swimmers must also be able to hold their breath for a long time :)

*prods you in the direction of Michael/Brad*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Michael/Brad? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *wipes eyes* Whooo. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA! Yeah, no. I'm sure Michael would be duly impressed by Brad, but you know, Brad, he doesn't like people and he really doesn't like people who aren't smart, and Michael he's good at what he does, but he's no Marine and he's not exactly Einstein.

Here's a cookie for giving me something to chuckle about though.

[kristories.livejournal.com]

Yes but it could be a ploy or something, a ploy dedicated to making Nate really freaking jealous or something, 'cause he doesn't like people but we are assuming he likes Nate and we are assuming he likes. Yeah, I don't know, it would be kind of pretty though.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You know... *spins cube a little* That might work if you put Nate in there instead. Nate's at a bar...in say Baltimore. You know, since his family is from there and... Michael walks in. It's one of those kind of dinky bars that are divey but cool in that you can drink and watch the game and maybe play pool in peace.

And Nate's just drinking a few beers, playing a few sets of pool, but Michael wants the table, so he puts down his quarters, and he's just wandering around the table, watching Nate play. Waiting. Maybe he offers to play Nate, and Nate glances up and smirks, b/c taking an Olympian for his money would be the kind of story that his men would fucking love the next time everybody gets together... and he's like, sure, whatever.

And Michael's kind of waiting for that 'Oh snap, you're Michael Phelps' moment, but you know Nate is not the easily impressed kind...

So, they're playing, and Nate totally wipes the table with Michael, who's actually better than Nate thought he'd be. And Michael's all double or nothing and Nate raises an eyebrow, because Michael's really close when he says it, and Nate's like, 'yeah okay' because Olympic money is just as green as anybody else's.

So, they're playing, and this time Michael's like playing playing, so Nate's playing too, and he's in the middle of this jump shot, and Michael leans down, casting this shadow over the corner pocket. And Nate glances up to tell him, you know, move Fish Boy, and then he realises that Michael is totally hitting on him, and he's flattered. You know, like you are, when a SI cover guy hits on you, but then he looks up a few more inches and Brad's standing there watching them with this half-amused, half-annoyed look on his face. And Nate stands up and gives him this brilliant smile, and Brad kind of stalks over, and he's all, "You started without me. I think I'm upset."

And Michael's watching them as Brad throws this proprietary arm around Nate's neck, and Nate rolls his eyes, because really, pissing contest much? And he's like, "You were still asleep. If i waited on your snoring, drooling ass, I'd be waiting forever."

And Brad's like, "You didn't say that last night."

And Nate flushes, b/c *big* pissing contest.

And Michael's just like 'ohhh' and Nate's shrugs apologetically like, 'what can you do.'

Was that what you were aiming for ;)

[kristories.livejournal.com]

And Michael's kind of waiting for that 'Oh snap, you're Michael Phelps' moment, but you know Nate is not the easily impressed kind...

Exactly, because he has to work hard enough to impress Brad with his brain, people have just as hard for his attention.

And Michael's just like 'ohhh' and Nate's shrugs apologetically like, 'what can you do.'

Well what can you do really? It's Brad.

Was that what you were aiming for ;)

Hah! Yes! Minus all the porn :) but basically the gist of it. Okay, now do the one where John Connor runs away from his controlling mother to join the Marines. ^_^

Exactly! After you deal with Brad, you just look at other people like 'whatever.'

LOL.

Marine!John (http://i35.tinypic.com/2vmxb7o.jpg) for your general amusement. Spoilery kind of pic for T:SCC 2x05

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Wait. John really does become a Marine?! STOP IT. Seriously?!

[kristories.livejournal.com]

No, it's something about Derek and John infiltrating a military academy to protect a future member of the resistance. But really, who can resist the uniform :)

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Possessive Brad is hot. Of course all forms of Brad are hot.

I wonder if Brad and Nate can ever have normal dates or if it's all, let's go out for a beer, and then whoops! they end of having to save the world from Zombies. And Brad's all "What the fuck? I just wanted to get laid. I didn't want to kill fucking zombies." and Nate's all, "Life sucks. Deal with it." and Brad's like, "Blow me!" and Nate smiles, "Okay."

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

They don't strike me as the 'magnanimous sharing' type. Especially Brad in light of the "my ex ran off with my best friend while I was defending my country" revelation. I'm not saying, he'd put a GPS under Nate's skin... but I'm thinking there might be one or two tense moments, where Brad kind of walks out because he is not going to sit around the house waiting for Nate to come back on the off chance that he might *not* come back. Of course that's stupid, because I think if Nate's in it, he's in and he's not going anywhere, hello Iraq would show that, but Brad's got past-experience that pre-dates Nate's loyalty. It's hard to shake past-experience and evolve. Plus, I mean c'mon, look at Nate's smile, only a crazy person would walk away from that.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

And this would all lead to porn where Nate proves to Brad through lots and lots of sex that Brad is stuck with him.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY!

You know how people always read fortune cookies and then add 'in bed' I think maybe from now on every sentence referencing Nate and Brad will now end 'and then they had lots and lots of dirty, filthy, awesome sex.'

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA! I love it when people try and tempt your brain.

Michael's kind of waiting for that 'Oh snap, you're Michael Phelps' moment, but you know Nate is not the easily impressed kind...

Awesome. Awesome, like whoa. No love here, Fish Boy. (Fish Boy! ::dies::)

And Nate flushes, b/c *big* pissing contest.

And oh, how I can SEE that delicate flush! ::loves possessive!Brad::

And then Brad carted Nate home and did horribly dirty things to him that no suburban Olympian could even DREAM about and is all like, 'yeah, let's see who's the snoring, oversleeping one NOW, biotch.' And then Nate joins MP's fan club because, I mean, c'mon. Duh.

Much, much love.

1. Freak! Just kidding. I'm sure you can train for it; they have to. I doubt you can walk in off the street and hold it. Plus, you also have to be able to run 12 miles with 150 lbs on your back and nobody can do that cold.

3. Enjoy!

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

Snagging your music, kid. Thanks! :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I hope you find something you like :)

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I need new music. I am downloading. I love you, pookie!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Enjoy! Let me know if there's something particular you're looking for.

[starfishchick]

Ah, thanks!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[rubywisp.livejournal.com]

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Enjoy!

Mexican Institute of Sound, Plastilina Mosh

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LOL. Well, you are very welcome to the music, and we shall see about the Michael/Ryan porn, but happy birthday in advance!

[metrosex.livejournal.com]

i know you say this is all crack and you are trying to resist... but... i come bearing a cute video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi-rAnCwpUQ

watch out for 2:50ish and all the way at the end ;)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You know, that picture is worth 1000 words. At least.

[greenapricot.livejournal.com]

New music. Yay! The only band on hear I've heard of is the Silvesun Pick-Ups (and I quite like them) so I'm excited to discover the rest.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Enjoy!

[matilda36.livejournal.com]

Taking. Thank you. Your mixes are always a treasury trove.

A friend just recced me this band:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=128496728

I can't make my mind about them...Italians doing Indie music in English?

They brave for sure

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome!

[romancandles.livejournal.com]

Took the mix! I think you should make as much porn as humanly possible so I vote for both OR a combination of the two. Imagine!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Alas, this is as close to a combo (http://hackthis.livejournal.com/502227.html?thread=13778643#t13778643) as that's going to come, but did you see the photo I posted a few days ago? It could be worth 1000 words of porn. Easily.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Do you know how long that is? Try holding your breath for longer than 25 seconds.

This is why my Brad is all, 'yeah, just THINK what I can do since I can hold my breath for that long.' And then he does his I-am-the-shit smirk and Nate's brain fries and they have sex forever and ever.

I've been wary, because last season sucked hardcore, but on Sunday night my Ari was back and I could only think 'Took fucking long enough, asshole!'

::perks up:: That...may be worth seeing, if you approve.

I couldn't decide whether I should write Brad/Nate porn or Michael/Ryan porn, so I decide to go with Option C and post music instead. I know you love my decision making processes.

Um...NO! Pick one! Do both! Neither is a BAD OPTION.

It was very good, I am very pleased.

I did actually make a decision, I've got a project I'm working on right now, it just happens to be obscenely long. I don't expect it to be ready for another week at least.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, you are very welcome. My adoration for Elbow behooves me to share them with as many people as I possibly can, so I'm always thrilled when I hear of another convert.
