The Rules:

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter. (If you want a letter, just say so.)
2. List (and upload/link) 5 (or more if you want) songs that begin with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.


[livejournal.com profile] keelieinblack gave me an N, two weeks ago.

Ciara feat. Young Jeezy - Never Ever

I like the dreamy, gauzy mid-tempo stuff on the album better than the upbeat dance tracks, but it's worth a listen all the way through - lots of intricate off-beat sounds (sez the techno fan). Can't figure out what happened to "Click/Flash" though, I genuinely assumed that was a single? XD;; The problem with downloading all one's music off the flist.


DJ Rolando and The Aztec Mystic - Nights of the Jaguar

Carl Craig @ MUTEK, circa... 3:30AM? The track went on for twenty minutes. I was hanging over the barrier - first time I remember there being a barrier for an electronica/dance gig at Metropolis - the light show was out of this world. Carl Craig is basically a Jedi. Read a review afterward by some blogger dude who was like "I recognized nothing but [obscure techno track I'd never heard of]!" and I was like, "......other than 'I Feel Love'?"

Also, LOL TRENTEMØLLER PAKURI.


Laura Marling - Night Terror

I saw Laura Marling on a triple bill with Johnny Flynn and Mumford and Sons last October, as part of a Pop Montreal showcase I never wrote up afterward. The gig was held on the third floor of the local MASONIC LODGE, in this big hall full of carved throne-like benches and a trompe-l'oeil perspective altarpiece painting of guardian statues in a Greco-Egyptian temple under the starlight. The folkie kids came onstage and told stories about flickering single lightbulbs casting shadows on the is-it-an-altar? in the dressing room. They were seriously freaked out. Laura and Johnny were both very blond and fluffy and young-seeming and dreadfully bullied by their bands. XD;

The violin on this song rocked live. And there's more than one video treatment.


Martha Wainwright - New York, New York, New York

A minor psychogeographical epic - Saint Etienne would grok this. One of my favorite Martha Wainwright tracks from I don't know where. I've only been to New York once in the fall, when I was fifteen, but that was when I learnt to like it.


Too tired, next batch tomorrow. XD;

Ooh, I'll take a letter.

I will probably download shortly.

[Edit to correct my confusing letters with numbers... I only just got up, okay.]

I managed to talk myself out of including any Rod Stewart, even though I have no less than 3 with 'R' titles. XD

Click Flash: if I got what the intarnetz told me at the time correctly, it was a free-standing, possibly unofficial digital-only single connected to the Sex and the City movie. Wasn't even on the soundtrack! (although apparently it was in the movie, not that I could vouch for this personally) So I don't think it ever had any kind of proper release.

Never watched the movie - timing's about right for when I acquired it, tho.
