What, no Aphex Twin or DJ Spooky?

*is miffed*


*not really*

Uh oh, things are getting spoogey

Ah, the dreaded songfic. Spuffy songfic, even.




This one time, someone asked me to write a fic about Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. I never back down from dares
It wound up titled "Glitter and Dirt", from "Spooky Girlfriend".

I suppose this is TMI.

People on this board seem to love making lists of songs they like. And that's great, really, go ahead with your list-making selves. But I always wonder, especially when a song comes up that I'm not real familiar, what is it about the song that you love? F'rinstance. Today I was thinking about how Mo...

Hey, Monk, glad to see I'm not the only one who's baffled at this sort of thing.

*munches popcorn*

Ah, Teh Wank pays a visit. Hee

Keep going, this is pretty funny.

*waves*

Technically, no. Sort of in the same way that "North" is not a North track. I suppose it's like deleted scenes in movies. Are they still canon? I say no.

"Don't wear your heart out on your sleeve when your remarks are off the cuff"


"Spitting out the words that he put into her mouth"

nah, it's not lyrical. it's about decay and death, would snappy rhythm and flow be appropriate?


also, hey, a fellow lj-er. and i see you like saetia. they were pretty good, but off minor are better. hot cross are lame, it's a pity they're the band everyone's latched onto.

It's very early-90s San Diego punk. And by that I mean it's utterly confusing, but intriguing.

"I have seen the old glimmer die," you said, "and it frightens me." In the early morning I will not ask questions - I trace lines between your beauty marks, Drawing a map to lead me home (To my kingdom) And on your back, a tattoo of a skeleton key. But there is the sand of sleep ...

In school all the black girls wear Ramones tshirts. I get all excited because, hey, cross-culture pollination! Except they have no idea what the logo on their boobs is of.

Sigh.

Rightnowatthisverysecond it's "Progress" by Mission of Burma. On heavy rotation is Famous in Vegas - Peace on Earth (local band, punk and roll, they do an awesome cover of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" live, and the lead singer saw my Elvis patch and started up a conversation - way cool)...

Er, not everyone knows about the days thing. I don't download albums (I do download top 40 singles and out-of-print stuff, though), and I didn't know about the Tuesdays. That's pretty arcane information.

Hey, I like Guns n Roses. Not everything has to be fancy and intellectual to be great.

The last season of Buffy was disappointing and annoying. Nearly knocked me out of the fandom, it did.

Outkast aren't a guilty pleasure, for whoever listed them. Critics fawn over them. So do I. My list: Justin Timberlake Eminem (who, when you get down to it, is pretty poppy) Coldplay The Get Up Kids Beyonce Britney and Christina (Well, I love the videos...and some of the songs are good, too) Madonna...

...Direct-linking is when you, say, take a picture that's on this site and put a link to it on your site so it shows up as a regular image. Whenever someone would look at your site, they would also be using up bandwith from this site. Er. Well, that's always the cause when one of my favorite sites g...

I still say he should do an album with Dj Spooky, first single featuring Sage Francis. His flow is pretty melodic, so it'd fit. Have I mentioned lately how much I love Sage Francis? "Runaways" makes me want to cry.

Alright, I'll give it a try. *cracks knuckles* PHOTO CAPTIONS: *top* Elvis Costello's tale of woe: "I woke up this morning and my finger had grown into my neck. It's really kind of awkward. I'm thinking of doing a Russian folk-song-cycle about it, entitled "Holy Fuck My Finger's Stuck Insi...

(100th POST!!!11!111!!!1one!!11!)

The Painted Bird is sitting on my desk, glaring at me. That book makes me want to claw my eyes out. Gah.


I have no attention span, and so have been reading mindless fanfic and Tristan Tzara's manifestos. And the cereal box.

Albums to change your mind: Aphex Twin - The Richard D James Album A lot of obnoxious chaff, but "Boy/Girl Song" and "4" are two of the most beautiful songs ever written. DJ Spooky vs the Freight Elevator Quartet - File Under Futurism. Fractured, crazy-ass beats with cello and vi...
