Useless post

That is to say, go and download the Kings of Convenience song from off the top entry of t3h Fluxblog, all one of you who hasn't done it yet! (HINT THIS MEANS YOU CED)

Someday I'd like to go to a party - no, scratch that, someday I'd like to DJ a party at which a song like this would fill the dancefloor. Just for a change. It won't happen, mainly because I think Ced and possibly Talal are the only two people I know in La Vraie Vie Montréalaise who remotely grok this kind of music. And we're not living in the alternate universe in which the rest of Belle & Sebastian also sounds like "Electric Renaissance", more's the pity.

In other news, I'll take "embarrassing mental meanderings" for $500, Alex!

Answer: "...Hey, you know what they should do? They should do a hip-hop revival of those old Communist model operas!"

Question: Why should Sabina not be allowed to play Christina Milian's "Dip It Low" EVER AGAIN, let alone a dozen times in a row?

That goddamned...! Will someone more versed in musical theory and alternate scales explain to me how this song works? Is it a pipa?

Found this playlist in the 'amp. Since it's not mine I'm assuming it's sororial unit's, cue amusement:

Badly Drawn Boy - Camping Next to Water
Belle & Sebastian - Simple Things
Hawksley Workman - We Will Still Need a Song
The Darkness - Friday Night
Rufus Wainwright - Rebel Prince
Backstreet Boys - Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely
George Michael - Kissing a Fool

I'll have to remember to ask her if "Rebel Prince" (and for that matter, the rest of this!?) has anything to do with that Richard the Lionheart movie script she's writing...

I adore this song (the Milian one). I know I shouldn't love any song where the artist announces their name at the beginning, but I do.

someday I'd like to DJ a party

You know, every time I have one of those "What would my life be like if I were a manga character" daydreams, you're always a DJ in them.

(Of course, Lo is a cat burglar, and Tania is a magical girl heroine, so... )

Oh, no no, you absolutely should! For one, because I'm now playing this smokin' Non-Prophets track in which Sage Francis announces his name at the beginning (and the entire thing is built around this sample which I could swear is one of those Russian commie-pop songs that the Mainland slapped Chinese lyrics on, it's driving me nuts), and I command you to love it. As soon as, uh, I post it or burn it for you or something.

if(value(DJ)=="working the CD changer") then {yeah okay maybe;}

[dipping_sauce]

Yes! Burn!

I need music! All I've been listening to recently is Nelly Furtado, Taima, and Heart -- which are all nice, but I'm really in need of some variety now. Something cool and different that I can slap in the CD player and not have to worry about hitting the skip button because I only like a few songs on the disc.

(Well, it was more DJing with old vinyl records, and scratching and fading, and the like. But my brain is a scary place.)

I like the song, but I'm not really jivin with fluxblog's take on There is a Light That Never Goes Out. Mostly because we all know it's the overblown, over the top romanticism of the song that makes it. (I mean hello, the Smiths?) But I'm just biased cos it really is THE perfect way to end the OotP!Harry ST XD
