Music Meme of Procrastination

I love music. I really, really love it. It is so amazing to finally be able to discover all these artists and albums I've heard of or haven't heard of but want to hear. I am trying to fill in all the gaps of my music knowledge and get a music history education finally. One of my goals is to have a big music library and be able to make a good fanmix and be able to pick out music for all the things I want to vid no matter how much it frustrates to vid so slowly. It'll take awhile but this is the right start! At the moment, I'm loving Missy Higgins, Aimee Mann and Michael Franti & Spearhead. Good stuff. Anyways in the name of good music,

I want to have a complete soundtrack with one song from each of my friends. It can be your favorite song in the whole world, a recent favorite or just a song that you think really identifies you. If you can't upload your song, just post the artist and name, and I'll download it myself. I'm then going to make a fanmix with pretty art and post it on my journal to download.

I'd love to hear your songs so please, comment away!

Gah, I reeeeeally can't wait for this week to be over. Two finals today, two on Thursday and then I'm done. And Friday I'm going to NYC to see Rachel Maddow! Well technically I'm going to her girlfriend's art show but I'm 99% sure she's going to be there. I'm also planning on going ice skating at Rockerfellar, going to Manolo's and in a stroke of great luck, going to the Dr. Horrible sing along at the Paley center. That helps make up for not going to a Buffy Sing Along (yet), not that I'm still bitter about it...I'm just so tired of school now but I reeally hate this place and I hate the snow and the cold SO MUCH. Seriously, cold is true evil and my mortal enemy til death. It's like a sickness you can't get rid of you that eats you alive. I'll stop there but hopefully everything will work out and I'll go back to Chapman in late January or at the very least, California *misses*

Hey, you should drop me a word or text if you've got a little free time on Friday. We can meet up for coffee or something.

Oh definitely! I'm going to be pretty busy but I can make some time for you :) Any specific times you can do, let me know.

*forgot also to use the icon with lyrics from said song*

Mmm pretty icon. Thanks, I'll put it in!

This is my favorite song of the last two years. It's upbeat enough that it doesn't make me cry, and the lyrics are so true for me. Regina Spektor- Fidelity (http://rcpt.yousendit.com/634532594/f49d2821be7a0c353a2ac9175e8efac9).

Ooh that's awesome. Great song!

Rachel Maddow FTW! =D

Too true! She is so awesome.

The Start of Something - Voxtrot (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=8549b210a6f9c2d5d2db6fb9a8902bda)

I love any song by Voxtrot, but this is one of my absolute favorites. ♥ It's so catchy, and the lyrics are actually completely brilliant, when you think about them. So much love.

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-12-16 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I will have to look into them!

Pretty icon!

It's kind of depressing but, A Better Son/Daughter (http://www.sendspace.com/file/cmrd1w) by Rilo Kiley is my song. :)

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-12-16 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Depressing is fine :) :|

I love this meme, I'll send you my songs later tonight. :)

Awesome :)

Monkey Majik feat. Yoshida Brothers - Change (http://www.mediafire.com/?yvsqtzhruwd)

The lead singers are Canadian, but they create hybrid Japanese/English songs so I feel a sort of kindred connection to their music. :> This particular song is one of my favorites. It is 99.999% English, too, which I thought you might appreciate. *g*

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-12-16 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind Japanese! But that's cool, thanks.

It's so catchy! And dancable. I love it and need more by them.

Braille (http://www.box.net/shared/5y4jlgik4k) by Regina Spektor - The song from which my username comes

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2008-12-16 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh cool. It's very pretty. Regina seems pretty popular...relatively speaking.

[identity profile] doki.livejournal.com 2008-12-16 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really into music history, but I find this (http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/) fascinating. (though it says it's meant more to entertain than to inform)
I will try to list a few songs later this week.

Thanks! There's plenty of time when it comes to me.

As you can probably tell, I prefer instrumental and foreign language stuff. I find lyrics can distract me from my work. I listen to this (http://www.di.fm/mp3/chillout.pls) a lot.

I can't upload my song but I bet you already have it. The song is Unraveling by Deb Talan.
