Now I can do something else

[petronia]

Such as answer that meme of starlighter's. XD This is just a chunk of my current playlist so if you're going to download and listen to these, may as well do it in order.

1) Spitz - Sakana: I love it when Spitz songs are built over delicately-pretty-yet-jangly guitar lines that remind me of the Smiths, though the melodies sound nothing like the Smiths per se (basically, because Kusano Masamune != Morrissey).

2) Suga Shikao - Sorosoro ikanakucha: okay, so I've been listening to Honey and Clover insert songs a lot. XD I'm missing a whole bunch of them too, which surprised me.

3) KREVA feat. Kusano Masamune - Kureba ii no ni: virally spread from canis_m. XD I wrote it up here - it's a public musicblog I started a while ago. I thought I'd keep it for a while without linking and see what happens, but without readers the quality and regularity of my writing degenerate. Feel free to friend or check back, there won't be locked posts.

4) Tsutchie feat. kazami - YOU: from one of the Samurai Champloo OSTs. Gorgeous, summery harmonies.

5) Michael Garrick Trio - Sketches of Israel: quiet, lovely instrumental jazz piece (piano, bass, percussion). I got this off Fluxblog a while ago, may as well reference the dude's commentary.

6) Business Man - Dubby Games: were this re-labelled to be less obscurantist, it would be "Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (Trentemøller Dub)". Linked by cis.

7) Ann Margaret - Everybody Needs Somebody, Part 2 (Prins Thomas Edit): DISCO~♥ In my playlist this segues into the Bee Gees edit cis also linked. (17.1MB)

AND BONUS VIDEO:

Gotan Project - Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre)

This is included on the bonus disc that came with my version of the album. "Una Musica Brutal" began as a response of sorts to this vid. XD (The music was also used in the Richard Gere x J-Lo version of Shall We Dance?, which only goes to show.)

Now I will do my part to annoy SixApart by watching some child pr0n, by which I mean Cinepuri on Youtube. ♥

SPITZ... there is never enough love. I had one of their songs playing at work the other night -- coworkers who had never herd of them were humming along because SPITZ is just so catchy and melodic. I think some people look down on them for this, but it seems to me to be quite a feat, being fantastically musical and interesting while still being generally accessible. A+ (And isn't this year the 20th anniversary of the band, or something? Lots of respect for that!)

I have lots of love for Suga Shikao's jazz/funk vibe, too, so I am excited to DL the rest of these and hopefully find more music to love. Thanks for this post!

Thank you for the music. I love how varied the song selection is. *_*

Have fun watching Cinepuri! My favorite part, aside from the Tenimyu actors, was the special effects. XD

But what better time of year for binge listening of Spitz & Suga Shikao. Man, "Sakana" gets me. Every. Time. I have to use it sparingly, though, because it makes me emote too much. XD;

I assume you've assimilated the new single?

[petronia.livejournal.com]

I got it - I think I prefer "Looking For", though. XD Is the album out soon?

Ha ha this is exactly what happened for me with 10second as well (well, that and the fact that the one person I still know is watching it can be suspected of having 50% of anything I might think to post, heh). I'm about due for another push at luring in new readers for it, actually...

And because I suck at commenting when I download things (mainly because it often takes me weeks to actually listen to anything XD;), I'd like to throw out a blanket thanks for any and all music I've leeched off you in the last godknowshowlong. Especially true for John Tejada's The End of It All: so one of my favourite songs that I've heard this year. <3

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Welcome! I'm glad you liked that one, it's an evergreen favorite. XD

Thanks for the uploads!

A lot of the Honey & Clover insert songs make my heart crumble. Augh, damn art school anime.

Kreva collab'ed with Kusano?! *DOWNLOADS* D: D: D:

Hee thanks. Yes, Spitz is wonderfully lovely and consistently good and really exactly what pop music should be like, I think. Actually they remind me of the Odds in that sense.

I don't really like Dubby Games! I suspect this might have something to do with my not really liking dub reggae despite loving '[name of dude] dub' remixes. Oh and feeling mildly stiffed that Todd Terje decided to rerub some other Chris Isaak song instead. NO LOVE, TERJE. (by which i mean 'all my love', please continue releasing the pretty records thx)

[petronia.livejournal.com]

I quite like Dubby Games but think I would prefer the imaginary Todd Terje version as well. XD

[two-if-by-sea.livejournal.com]

I think I have most of them-- do you know which ones you are missing? :D

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Well, according to the Wikipedia page XD --

Spitz: Tamagawa, Tsuki ni kaeru, Spica, Pool, Je t'aime, Namida

Suga Shikao: Nami Hikari, Koko ni iru koto

Though for the Suga songs I have to figure out if I really don't have them, because I could swear I have all his albums. ^^;
