The reason I have to keep watching Kyou Kara Maou, in one word:

SPORKS.

It's a fantasy anime about bishounen who hit on each other and eat with fancy sporks. In other words, if I'm not going to watch this I may as well give up Livejournal, because what's fangirl blogging but bishounen and sporks? This strikes at the very core of fandom, j0.

...How does one say "spork" in Japanese?

1. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - All Tomorrow Parties (It's a cover of Velvet Underground, of course. *g*)
2. Bonnie Pink - Meddler (The entire album is in English...)
3. Hamasaki Ayumi - We Wish
4. The Church - Under The Milky Way
5. Vinicius De Moraes - Carta ao Tom 74 (I'll upload this sometime)
6. Juanes - A dios le pido (Love this song, didn't expect anyone else to get it)
7. Kanno Yoko - After, In The Dark ~Torch Song~ (Haha, guess no one was hardcore geeky enough to flash on the fact that the lyrics aren't in a real language *is shot*)
8. Onitsuka Chihiro - Ibara no umi
9. Hawksley Workman - We Will Still Need A Song
10. Kunihiko Hari - Shihouka (From Juuni Kokki Image Album)
11. Tommy february6 - CAndY EyEs doLLS (This is from the new album, thus unfamiliar, but I wondered if anyone would stick their neck out anyway - it's such a classic Tommy lyric)
12. The Cure - Kyoto Song
13. Franz Ferdinand - The Dark Of The Matinee (If no one called this one there'd have been mocking XD)
14. Kylie Minogue - On A Night Like This
15. Delerium - A Poem For Byzantium
16. Faye Wong - Chesspiece
17. Heather Nova - Aquamariac
18. Felix da Housecat w/ Miss Kittin - Madame Hollywood
19. Massive Attack - Better Things
20. Garbage - Hammering In My Head


Everyone mostly got what I thought they'd get; amusingly there was very little overlap. *g* I think I'm going to shuffle the tracks a bit and turn it into a proper mix, it's representative enough.

...so, I normally would not do so, because I work at a music chain (well, media chain), but... well, when I learned there was a new Heather Nova CD I rushed to the work computers on my next day in to go checking up on it, and we can't get it -- I'm assuming it's not out in the US yet. So I'm going to have to beg for more MP3s, because I'm a shameless addict -- own every other album of hers I've been able to get my paws on, i.e. everything I'm aware of except for Glowstars.

Also, I am ashamed I didn't get the Delerium song, and I did wonder wtf #7 was. I was thinking maybe something Scandinavian, only that didn't look right either.

Ah? *googles* Huh, it's not. o_O Okay, then! Hopefully you'll like it. I do, but I wasn't too fond of her last two albums. ^^; It's very acoustic; the track I posted has comparatively complex production.

South and... as far back as Siren, or am I forgetting one? *ponders* Kinda indifferent on South myself.

And I adore You Left Me a Song, and a looksee at the lyrics was what (aside from the fact that I would have anyway) sent me madly looking for Storm, so I expect I will.

Man, Heather Nova was such a random find, too -- an honest to goodness wild success of the listening station concept. I randomly had a listen to Oyster in the local Newbury Comics, and liked it so much that I dragged my ex over and made him listen to it too, and we promptly bought it. At the time, I was calling about half the songs for X-Files. Now I have several of them on my YnM soundtrack. ;)
