words are useless, especially sentences
I am posting because I am bored. How very exciting.
Therefore, this post shall be comprised of very random things as they come to me. No abundance of strange links tonight, I am afraid.
I need to stop listening to so much Beck. But I have like 7 or something of his albums on my media player, and so it's bound to randomly go to his music a lot. And I don't want to skip stuff I like (aka Guero, omg). The reason I want to stop listening to so much of him is because if I don't, he's totally going to pass up Soul Coughing on my last.fm charts. I don't want that to happen because it's SOUL COUGHING. Come on. Or I could just listen to more Soul Coughing. That works, too. I was listening to the awesome live version of "Lazy Bones" earlier, and I love Mike at the beginning, talking about how he saw a sign at a humane society that said, "I am a big boy. I have a spot on my nose. I like to be held," and he thought it was so great. He says, "Aren't we all big boys with spots on our noses who like to be held?" Indeed, Mike Doughty, indeed.
When I do listen to stations on last.fm, I find myself more often than not listening to "similar artists to Tori Amos," partially because I listen to a lot of Tori Amos, but mostly because I really love the different artists played on there. Singer-songwriters, that's totally my genre of the moment. Like that station plays Emiliana Torrini, who I don't know a lot about, but I really like her sound. And people like Beth Orton and Damien Rice and Ani DiFranco, who all have very different sounds, but are pretty much the same type of music. Interesting. I love Ani DiFranco because she has a very slam poetry feel to her songs. It's cool.
Yay, Tori just came on. (A remix of "Horses," no less.)
I randomly listened to a couple of Lovehammers songs today, and yes, I realized how much I missed them. I hadn't listened in awhile, and then decided to listen and was like, yes, I missed you guys. I can't wait to see them again, if they come somewhere close and it's not too expensive.
And also? I finally jumped on the bandwagon and fell in love with Regina Spektor. I don't know a lot of her music that well yet, but I think it was maybe the albums that I was listening to that weren't grabbing my attention. I've heard a couple of songs while listening to last.fm from "Songs," and I totally loved them. I think the tracks were "Oedipus," "Consequence of Sounds," "Aching to Pupate" (I really liked that one), and "Ne me Quitte Pas." She has a really different sound, and really interesting lyrics, which are two things that will get me interested right away.
I'm listening to Imogen Heap right now, and I'm back into liking her a lot. I totally go through phases with my music, where I'll be really obsessed with someone for awhile, then not care, and then I'll hear one song by that person again and want to listen to him or her all the time. I'm seriously ADD, I think. But then again, I think it's probably just not wanting to listen to the same thing all the time. I like variety. I don't know how some people can just listen to the same song on repeat like 12 times in a row or whatnot. I'm like, wouldn't that make you sick of the song?
I totally lost my train of thought. Had to go press record on the tv for my roommate, who wanted me to tape CSI:Miami for her. I keep hearing that that show is really just the crap, but people keep watching it because it is so shitty, lol. That's what the general consensus of my f-list seems to be, anyway.
I really want to write some poems or whatnot because I totally joined like 3 creative writing/poetry/art communities today, because I decided I needed that stuff when I'm going through updates. But, of course, when I'm looking for something to do, there are never any updates, and then when I'm trying to quick go through updates, there are always a ton. Go figure. Anyways, I'm having a hard time thinking of good opening lines. Roar. I hate that feeling. Maybe it comes from not being inspired by any of the poems I'm reading today. I should go through my favorites on fictionpress and reread some of those that I really loved. Oh, shit, I just remembered I was going to put a recommendation for an author in my profile. I should go do that. A good excuse to end this.
Talk to y'all in...whenever you leave comments. :D
And oh, if you have last.fm, add me as a friend! Especially if you like good music or are odakota_rose. Cough.
