Music for ze masses.
I've got all day, nothing better to do what d'you mean, I have readings for school? Shut up., and ... nothing better to do.
So. MUSIC. I'm going to try to pick the bands that everyone might not have already, so yay?
A - Z.
I've got to limit myself to one song for each band/artist or else I might be doing this for aaaaaages. Hopefully it'll all fit in one post. Take as you please, but comment so I know if these music posts are even worth it!

Benefits of Lying With Your Friend by The Apples In Stero

Daaaamn, it's hard not to upload Belle & Sebastian... *sigh*
Popular Mechanics for Lovers by Beulah
CcCc
Oddly, I haven't got THAT many artists in "C"...
Bricks by Chris Brokaw (Best opening line ever. "Steven turned to me and said, 'Fuck.'")
DdDd
I guarantee that you've heard this song if you've ever watched a movie trailer with a swelling emotional scene. It is lurvely.
How It Ends by DeVotchKa
EeEe
I just love the way he sings the song. And the lyrics are v. groovy.
Natural Disasters by Enon
FfFf
Gasp, it's not Franz Ferdinand. I was going to upload another song by this band, but I... didn't...
American Turnip by Film School
GgGg
I have no idea what she's singing, as I'm not particularly fluent in Norweigan, but I do know that it's hauntingly beautiful. It'll have you singing "Eee DENNNN ee YOY den duh dee dunnn ee dee ee yay ee dooooh" with real passion in no time. Unless you speak Norweigan, in which case, it'll have you singing the actual lyrics in no time.

Okay, I have to cheat on this one. I have very few "H" bands, so...
Diabolic Scheme by The Hives
IiIi
Freakin' trippy.
Stopwatch Static by I Am Spoonbender
JjJj
Ooh, French. Another language-Jo-does-not-speak-but-wishes-she-could.
Je T'aime Tant by Julie Delpy
KkKk (dangerously close to being "KKK," that one.)
Yeah yeah yeah, I know most/all of the FF fans on my lists have these songs, but not everyone is a rabid Franz fan! *pause* Am yet to figure out why. Anyways, here's jazz singer!Alex Kapranos.
Tension by The Karelia
LlLl
...actually, I've only got Led Zeppelin and some crap bands that came with the Windows Media Player programme, so I'll skip this one.
MmMm
All-girl band from Canada. Hooraaaaay. I really like this song, and hooray for girls rockin' out.
The Constant Lover by Magneta Lane
NnNn
I can't for the life of me seem to find any more of their stuff, and that's a shame. Sigh.
Holland 1945 by Neutral Milk Hotel
OoOo
...for some reason, I like this song. One of the very few songs that came with my Windows Media Player that isn't cringe-inducing. It's poppy, but hooray pop!
Something In You by The Orange Peels
PpPp
Aaaaand again I'm forced to cheat. If it helps, I doan know anyone who knows this song by them...? It's almost like poetry, but... by... Ben Gibbard. Damn it, just listen.
Umbrella by The Postal Service

Let's all go get possessed in a bayou.
Grandfather Time by Quintron
RrRr
Bum bum-bum-bum bum.
Ramalama Bang Bang by Roisin Murphy
SsSs
Not the happiest song, but it sho are pretteh.
Dirty Facade by Shannon Wright
TtTt
No, it's not Travis. GASPSHOCKAWE.
This, my friends, is possibly the most disturbing song ever. Yay necrophilia. *grimace* And it's so happy-sounding.
When My Love Turned Blue by Tarot Bolero
UuUu
*shame-facedly* I haven't got any "U" artists, apparently. *weeps*
VvVv
Well-known, but ... shut up and take it. =)
Blister in the Sun by Violent Femmes
WwWw
This song? It rocks. Hard. JOA! JOA! NIGAWASEO JOA! NEOMUNADO GIDARYEOTDEON NIGAWASEO JOA! That is all.
There She Is!!! (Ddautta) by Witches
XxXx
...damn, I'm seriously lacking in bands-with-odd-letters-starting-their-names.
YyYy
Nuclear war IS a mother fucker.
Nuclear War by Yo La Tengo
ZzZz
Again, fairly well-known, but I'm tired. SILENCE.
Havana Gang Brawl by The Zutons
In other news, Neil kept me up all fucking night with his goddamn mewing and running around and attacking my legs, so I got about 3 hours' sleep in all. And he's STILL playing right now. I keep reminding myself that I'm tired and irritable and that he's still a baby, in order to stop myself from kicking him right into the piano.
Also, I punched my computer monitor so hard that I've damaged some of the pixels. Sigh, soft screen, boo.
Bless,
--Jo.
P.S. Guess who's probably going to see Badly Drawn Boy in October? I could soil myself with pure joy.
...whoops.
