Half an hour before I can get out of here

We ♥ Molecules - Silk & Venim (Whipcrack Revolutionary Remix)

(The file came named like that. I didn't change it - even though the band changed its name - because I don't know how the heart symbol would parse in the link.) Apparently the launch party for this single was held on February 13 at Magic Idea - yes, that Magic Idea, the uber-teeny-trendy bubble tea café in Chinatown - and was DJ'd by Plastik Patrik. Why was I not there?!? What the hell was I doing on the Sunday before Valentine's Day anyway? ...Okay, making mix CDs for Tania, I reckon. But AAARRRGH.

It's synthpop. The lyrics will get stuck in your head. Please do not tell me you were not warned.

New Order - Waiting for the Sirens' Call
New Order - Turn

(The second one's an m4a file.) From the new album, if anyone's still looking for it. I think I may have overplayed it. XD;; But oh, the sunny crisp guitar-pop. One day I will attach these to specific fandoms/FSTs and convince you all of the beauteous Truth of said songcalls.

Starsailor - Four To The Floor (Thin White Duke Mix)

Another track that people seem to look for. I know the original; what I don't know is how I know the original. Certainly I've never had the mp3. Shock and horror, I may actually recognize it by osmotic seepage, i.e. from the radio... This version is amazing, a dancefloor stormer if I've heard one. Consensus opinion is that it improves immensely on the source material.

Dot Allison - Tomorrow Never Comes

Dot Allison at her slowest and dreamiest and saddest, not at all electro. And I dreamt that you were telling me / that you dreamt of me / but now I'm waking up / I think I'm waking up... Actually this is one of the 5-6 tracks I pared off the Mirage FST; what with the Rachel Goswell there's a definite theme happening, I reckon the next one should be by Isobel formerly of Belle and Sebastian.

(Of course, now that I bother to check, it turns out that I do have a track by Isobel formerly of Belle and Sebastian: it's a cover of Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang". You know, the OP theme to Kill Bill? My baby shot me down? ...I would laugh, but it's more unnerving than funny.

EDIT -- mp3 here, as per request. <3)

Does someone have Onitsuka Chihiro's "Infection"? I've got it on a CD somewhere but am too lazy to track it down and rip it. ^^;

Did Belle & Sebastian or something? Or does Isobel just do stuff on her own at the same time?

(I too have that version of Bang Bang! It's a lot breathier than most of the covers, and oddly enough I think the karaoke version that's on the machine downstairs sounds like a tango, which has always been faintly disturbing for me.)

Isobel left the band before the most recent album, alas! :/

Onitsuka Chihiro // Infection (http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2LVGE3RE7296Y1AXTVEZ9QSYQ7)
Mmm, great song.

Could you upload Isobel's cover of 'Bang Bang' if possible? :)

Ooh, thanks! <3 And it's uploaded. I edited the entry to include it. ^_^

....you know, this hanging over your shoulder in MoB fandom thing, I am still not sure if it is wonderful or terrible. Maybe I'll say terribly wonderful and have done with it. XD;;;;;;; AAAAHHH.

Loved the Rachel Goswell track to frisson-y bits, btw, am d/ling all these and waiting to listen while I ride my bike past the coastline in the evenings - ok, no *wonder* I've been avoiding continuing the novels.

(btw, do upload the rest of the songs you pared off the Mirage FST pretty please? =x and p.s. hope you're much better now *sends new white yukata love for takaya doll*)

Oh, I grok why you have to take a break from these damned books, I took a month-long hiatus halfway through book 11, didn't I? XD You're over the hump, though. Compared to the Wadatsumi Arc 13-14 are, like, fan-service.

(Okay, I just want you to read 14 because I'm currently alternating between "!!!" and *sporfle*.)

I'm better. No more fever or aching. Predictably it's turned into a hacking cough, which will no doubt last me into May. XD;;

new order! I really want to grab one of their cds this weekend. do you recommend any one in particular, or will you say 'all'? :D

thank you for the music <333

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well, unless you want to get Substance which is a 2CD best-of... actually, I don't know. XD It depends on what you like of them, I guess, they evolved a lot over the course of their career. Most people would probably recommend Technique as the album to get. I'm also partial to Brotherhood and... Republic, when you get down to it. I really like Get Ready but it's one of those albums half the fans love and half the fans hate. XD

[serendip.livejournal.com]

She has to get ALL OF THEM XDDDD

Substance is the best if you want to start off with the singles. I think it actually depends on what you like about New Order. Once you're addicted, then you want all the other CDs. *cackles gleefully* *halo*

Ooh, thanks for the music! And that version of "Four to the Floor" is better than the original. *_*

unfortunately isobel out of belle and sebastian's solo stuff has mostly been rubbish. well, the first album was, at any rate.
