I'm not going to follow you like some nervous poodle.

1. I am going to write a story called Fire on the Exhale, which is a shooting reference for those who don't spend too much time watching the Military Channel.

2. I don't think I'm doing yuletide this year, which will be the first year since it started that I haven't signed up, but I just don't have it in me. I am kind of sad about this, but I have to prioritize.

3. Dear White Collar,

The idea is that the shows are supposed to get BETTER as you go along, not worse. Each episode from the pilot has gotten progressively less interesting and more bland. Despite popular belief, you cannot hold my interest on looks alone. Looks are meant to enhance, like a very nice hat, they cannot be the sole substance. Fail, man. You also can't magically exchange one minority for another and not expect anybody to notice.

You are on notice. Clean up your act or we're over.

No love,
X

This once again leaves me with ZERO shows until January 12. Oh my god, Cooper and Ben and Lydia hurry up.

4. I am looking for music. I'm interested in trying out anything by Colin Hay (I have waiting for my real life to begin and I just don't think I'll ever get over losing you) and Iron & Wine (I have Sodom, South Georgia, AB's Song, Flightless Bird, and a few others) so, if you have a favorite, please feel free to share it!

I am also looking for Big Brovaz 'Favourite Things', New Edition's Heart Break album, and the Double CD of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

I am also looking for a single, straight, hotass, Recon Marine between the ages of 28 and 35, with a brain between his ears, at least one good moral, and who doesn't mind Johnny Cash, Radiohead, Ella Fitzgerald and The Roots on rotation. [Edited for explicit sex acts] Oh, and he needs to be male.

Hey, everybody has to have goals in life.

Are those whole albums or songs? Whatever you have is much appreciated. I do not know this Calexico you speak of.

[jujubinha.livejournal.com]

They're albums, and while I love them all, my favourite is The Shepherd's Dog. And Calexico (http://www.last.fm/music/Calexico)is a cool band too; In the Reins is a very good album.

I'll upload them all, and then you can try 'em and see what you like best.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I only have five I&W songs, but three are from The Shepard's Dog, so I think I shall like it a lot. Thank you!

[jujubinha.livejournal.com]

Here they are:

Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog (http://cosmia.org/jam/The Shepherd's Dog.zip);
Iron & Wine - The Creek Drank the Cradle (http://cosmia.org/jam/The Creek Drank the Cradle.zip);
Iron & Wine - Around the Well (http://cosmia.org/jam/Around the Well.zip);
Iron & Wine and Calexico - In The Reins (http://cosmia.org/jam/In The Reins.zip).

[I recommend leaving Around the Well for last, as it's a compilation of his unreleased songs; The Creek Drank the Cradle and The Shepherd's Dog (especially this last one) are much better all-around thought albums.]

I hope you like them!

ETA: Colin Hay played on Daytrotter (http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/colin-hay-concert/20030904-37382032.html) recently, and there are a few songs available for download there.

WOW. You are super awesome, thank you so much for sharing and all your work uploading these. That was very kind of you.

[jujubinha.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! I really hope you like those. And it was no work at all, I love sharing my favourite music. ;)

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

I only heard vaguely of Calexico because they did a cover of Wild Horses (by Rolling Stones) with Iron & Wine. Will go and check them out more!

[jujubinha.livejournal.com]

I think they're cool, and their Feast of Wire is a great album. They were pretty active in the I'm Not There soundtrack too, I think they play three or four songs with other artists.

BTW, I could totally upload Feast of Wire, if you'd like.

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome! Yes, please! :DDDD

Oh, if you are looking for some new songs, I've uploaded some for hackthis here (http://hackthis.livejournal.com/542051.html?thread=16177507#t16177507).

[jujubinha.livejournal.com]

Here it is: Calexico - Feast of Wire (http://cosmia.org/jam/Feast of Wire.zip)

And thank you for the link with the songs; I'll definitely check them at box.net!

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! D/ling it now.

Hee, no problem! Here's one of my absolute faves that I've just uploaded: Sia - Little Black Sandals (http://www.box.net/shared/mtbs0ta6rd).

[jujubinha.livejournal.com]

I really like Sia, especially her collaboration with Zero 7...

As for the album, hope you like it! It sounds a little different at first, but it's really good.

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

Definitely! My fave songs of their collaboration are The Pageant of the Bizarre and Destiny. In The Waiting Line is another hot fave.

I'll tell you my reactions after I've listened to it a few times. I've realized that the songs I love at first listen inevitably annoys me after a while and the reverse is definitely true. Weird, huh?
