Music Spam
I have a favor to ask: I am 95% certain I want my next LJ layout to be Death Note. As such, I need some good, banner appropriate images, preferably of Raito or maybe L. I'm wary of doing a Google search for pics because I fear spoilers like the plague. So! Any of you lovely, manga/anime knowledgeable people want to help me out?
As a preemptive award, I'm dumping a bunch of songs here that are either recent obsessions or old favorites. They're all girl-rock, mostly grunge, because I've started really getting into that genre.
Curve: Chinese Burn and Hell above Water ('Chinese Burn' is a classic, 'Hell above Water' is some of their newer stuff, but still very good. Awesome music for people who like grinding guitars and electric drums.)
Darling Violetta: I Want to Kill You and Beautiful. (Very creepy, electro-pop/jazz/rock stuff. Sounds like something you'd find in either a European art house film, or the movie version of a Faulkner novel.)
Veruca Salt: Save You and Blood On My Hands. (Pure grunge - discordant, layered guitar riffs with throbbing bass - with some electro-pop tinges. A little bit of screaming on the first song. Music I'd expect to hear on CSI.)
Bad Habits: Assassin and In The Shadows (This is grunge-y too, but in a different way. They remind me a bit of a female version of Velvet Revolver, but more polished and catchier. Awesome guitar solo on the first one, though - and really, who doesn't love a good song about a contract killer?)
Bikini Kill and Le Tigre: Rebel Girl and TKO, respectively. (The original Riot Grrl acts. Far catchier than they have any right to be. I guarantee you won’t be able to listen to either song just once. Hell, I’ve been playing “TKO” non-stop since Friday.)
Oh! And I wants a good mood theme. Something House or Supernatural would be nice.
