Shellie// UPLOAD #2
Yaaay another Shell-chan upload x3!! I keep making up rotations and writing them down, then change them, and repeat that over and over, so I just thought STUFF EEEET, slapped my whole playlist on shuffle and skipped 'till a good song came on, and put it down. I wrote all the info and made the images before I could change my mind, so now if I do change any I'd have wasted my time, and I am thoroughly against such things in life!
Anyway! A mixture of languages and cultures this time, including English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese ETC! Please do keep an open mind and give as many as possible a try ^^ I promise I picked songs I thought you'd all like.
Please comment with what you took, and if possible pop back after saying if you liked them or not. I won't bite your head off - I love talking to people, and will reply to every comment, even if it's just to say 'LOLZ!PINK SHOES!' >>; Anyone want that comment? xD
All files uploaded on YouSendIt. If links expire, or you'd like a song or 2 hosted somewhere else for more ease, then please feel free to ask (using appropriate manners :D). It might take a few days for me to catch up because of some internet difficulties, but I promise I will! ^^!

01/FAKE
Сергей Лазарев [Sergey Lazarev]
Pop, English, Don't Be Fake, 2005
Okay so I FINALLY found some downloads of Sergey! PHWEE! Before it was streaming only, but I stumbled upon the guy's latest album ^^! Ah, anyway, this is just awesome. Crazily catchy and lyrically orgasmic - just give him a try! His voice is LOVE. Oh, and yah, Sergey is Russian and does pen songs in Russian, but this song is in English :)
For fans of: Enrique Iglesias, Juanes

02/ HALLELUJAH
Rufus Wainwright
Soundtrack, English, Shrek Soundtrack, 2001
This must be the most sort after song from the original Shrek movie. Covered by a bajillion other artists, I must say this is my favourite version. Wainwright's voice is truly emotional, and can be compared to Jeff Buckley's version, except that Wainwright focuses more on the piano. Beautiful, melancholy, and inspirational.
For fans of: Jeff Buckley, David Gray, Tori Amos

03/ HAPPY RIDE
The Mad Capsule Markets
J-rock, English & some Japanese, CiSTm K0nFLiqT, 2004
Eeee happy TMCM goodness! A very summery song, which will get you jiggling about in those demanding short skirts and shorts! TMCM use a mixture of English and Japanese, with really freaky Engrish xD Aah, I don't know what else to say, except that DOWNLOAD YOU MUST :DDD

04/ VIZARD
Moi dix Mois
Visual Kei, Japanese, NOCTURNAL OPERA, 2004
It was hard to pick a song by MdM to put up, because I love them all, and ylfinger_shiva-chan has already put a few up, if I remember correctly. Anyway, Vizard is one of my all-time favourites by MdM, and is...eh, just give it a listen xD IT'S GREAT.

05/ LA CAMISA NEGRA
Juanes
Pop, Spanish, Mi Sangre, 2004
^&%&^%*&()(*)% JUANES < 333333 *diez* Yesssss I hearteth Juanes! His voice is so sexy, and this song is the kind that makes you want to start bellydancing crazily everywhere just 'cause you can xDDD Veeery catchy and just lyk WOWZA!! If you can't tell, this is my favourite song on this rotation alongside Sergey's :DDDDDD
For fans of: Not sure. See here?!
10/10
06/ THE GAME
Disturbed
Metal, English, The Sickness, 2002
I only like 3 or 4 songs I've heard by Disturbed so far. This is one of my favourites though, alongside 'Down With The Sickness'. If you like that song you'll like this one. If you like rock or metal you'll probably like this too.
For fans of: Static-X, Papa Roach

07/ I DON'T NEED YOU TO LOVE ME
楊千嬅 [Miriam Yeung]
C-pop, Cantonese, ?, 1998
One of the first East Asian songs I ever heard, and I recently found it again. Miriam's voice is just beautiful, and this song is quite slow and melancholy. One of my favourites. Pleeeease listen to it! It's just absolutely awesome ;~~~;
For fans of: 容祖兒 [Joey Yung], Cecilia Cheung
8/10
08/ 愛のしるし [AI NO SHIRUSHI]
Puffy AmiYumi
J-pop/rock, Japanese, Jet-CD, 1998
This is one theuniqueme wanted me to upload a while ago after she heard it on my mp3 player during doing absolutely nothing at all our media production log on the PCs at college. It's quite bouncy like most Puffy songs, but to me this kind of lacks the consistency Ami and Yumi usually have and sounds a little...eh, I don't know how to describe it. If you like Puffy AmiYumi I do recommend you give it a listen. But I dunno, you tell me what you think :)
For fans of: 宇多田ヒカル [Utada Hikaru], JUDY AND MARY, BoA

09/ BOOK OF THE MONTH
Lovage
Genre, English, Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By, Year
BEFORE DOWNLOADING I must tell you that the themes in this song are of a sexual nature, and about 3/4 through the song sounds of uhm...gasping and stuff...is heard >>; So yes, headphones on if the parentals are around xD; Anyway, this is one of my favourite Lovage songs, who whatday introduced me to a while ago. It's hard to compare them to anyone or place them in a specific genre, but I think if you like bands the The Dresden Dolls and other more original bands then you'll probably like these. Well worth a listen, but don't yell at me for not warning you about the sexual themes, because I damn well did! O_O! xD;
For fans of: Eh, I dunno. See here.

10/ TABIBITO
関ジャニ∞ [Kanjani8]
J-pop, Japanese, Kansha ni 8, 2004
Aaah, typical Japanese boyband cheese. KJ8 really won me over with this song, because it has plenty of catchy hooks and I ADORE the opening. *basks in boyband goodness* They're all pretty cute young'uns and well, if you like j-pop I'm sure they'll grow on you if not instantly leech onto your brain like...a leech.
For fans of: KinKi Kids, SMAP, V6
