Music
Name six songs that you are currently digging. It doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions. Then list the six artists and the songs in your LiveJournal. Last but not least, tag six other people to see what they're listening to.
Some of these are fairly old, but I don't care!
1. "Something Bigger, Something Brighter", Pretty Girls Make Graves.
When I'm walking to work listening to it, I totally want to look like a loser, clapping along at the 3 minute, 12 second mark. And I don't normally do any "crowd participation" things in music.
2. "Open Your Eyes", by 86 This (if bad spelling and grammar make you cry, don't click that link).
This would be Scott's best friend's band. I like the feel you get in the middle when it's like an army marching by.
3. "Mutiny on the Electronic Bay", against me!
I heart the danceyness of this song. And the words are fun, too. Even if he can't pronounce "gas masks in hand". But if I were singing it, I couldn't pronounce it properly, either.
4. "White Devil's Dream", Quasi.
Janet Weiss blows me away. And how could you not love a song that sends fuck you's to Dick Cheney, G.W. Bush, Jeb Bush, all Bushes, and many other jerky people I wish I could send fuck you's to.
5. "Plea", Shannon Wright.
Holy damn, is this woman good. I wish she'd come play Toronto again, so I can stand there in total awe. Scott's photos came out blurry, and not because he's a crappy photographer - she seriously never stopped moving. If I were to be a musician, I'd want to be like her. Awesome, odd voice, and supertalented.
6. "Let's Call It Love", Sleater-Kinney.
I'm seeing them twice in the next month! I love this crazy long, jammy song! I love how loud and noisy they've gotten! I feel like using exclamation marks everywhere! I finally read the lyrics to this song the other day, and now know it's not "I gotta lockdown for love" but "I got a long time for love"! I love it when Corin Tucker yells! I wish I could sing like her! And I really enjoy Carrie's "I've wasted all my fucking time" part!
Okay, that's enough of that.
Tag: Anyone who wants to be it. I like knowing what music people listen to.
