pre-midterms music memery

[ladymercury_10]

Well, it's midterms again, so this is the lull before Cram All The Things begins in earnest.  I got my algebra take-home today, and I don't even understand it well enough to be properly mortified by how unprepared I am for it, but I need to start on it soon anyhow.  But for now it is still Friday, so here is a meme, stolen from isiscaughey:

List seven songs

two cousins is flawlessssssssssssss

[ladymercury_10]

It's the best, right? :D I also really like their song "Our Most Brilliant Friends," but only the first half (it's like ten minutes long). And "Apples and Pairs" is pretty good as well.

[lusimeles]

i haven't really heard a lot from them, but i am definitely putting them on my to-listen list now. they seem great! i love that sort of neo-retro stuff...

[ladymercury_10]

I only started listening to them pretty recently, so I haven't heard that many of their songs, either. You should tell me if you find any good ones! :)

[welshgirl15]

I don't know any of these songs, so will have a listen now! Thanks for posting, it's great to find new music

[ladymercury_10]

You're very welcome! I hope you find some you like! :)

[ladymercury_10]

What are your favorite songs of hers? I only really know a couple; that one, and then "When I Was a Boy" and "The Beauty of the Rain." I'm sorry, I feel like I keep bothering you for song recs, lol.

[ladymercury_10]

Yay, so many recs! Thank you very much!

D is downloading an operating system right now so our internet is slow as all heck, but I did watch the Two Cousins video and I quite liked it :) Also I love that Regina Spektor song. And Iowa makes me think of college :) That whole album of hers was fantastic.

[ladymercury_10]

Yay! And I didn't know you liked Regina Spektor. :)

I have not heard a whole lot of Dar Williams, but perhaps I should listen to the rest of that album, now that you said that. Maybe while I'm banging my head against the group theory chapter of my algebra textbook, ha. :P

Full circle then: that's certainly part of what I was doing when I was listening to it! :D Mortal City is the album; it also has "As Cool as I Am" and "Christians and the Pagans" among others. I knew all of the lyrics to all of that album at one point.

Yay, the internet is back up so I will check out your other songs too!

[ladymercury_10]

HAHAHA yes, it is the great Circle of Math. Sadly if I survive it there will not be partying with zebras and giraffes or getting lifted into a beam of sunlight, only the standard graduation paraphernalia. :P

"the genre of songs that sound like water."
Ha that is a good description. That sound is definitely not what I think of when I think of Death Cab for Cutie! And Fiona Apple's song is cool. D's cousins saw her a few weeks ago when she came to Pittsburgh; said she played an incredible show.

[ladymercury_10]

That is my favorite genre. :P And "A Lack of Color" sounds like that, but in general probably you are right.

That's so cool! I really like "Every Single Night" off of the same album, too. Her songs are so weird-sounding in a good way. :)
