I feel like I'm so far behind on everyone's lives AGAIN... but I had a lovely, relaxing (although bloody freezing) weekend with
jacqui_hw which involved a Saturday cinemavaganza of Yes Man and Sex Drive, and being introduced to the cuteness that is GRΣΣK (and the incomprehensibility of American traditions, which was further compounded by watching Remember The Titans on Saturday night).
Films, films, films. Yes Man was so much funnier than I thought it would be (probably because of JIM CARREY and how I find male-centric rom-coms way more palatable than female ones) while Sex Drive was, uh, so much more absolutely fucking hilarious-er than I thought it would be. Seth Green being his usual deadpan self, moronically crude humour/shit-talking/innuendo, road-trip hijinks, and all of Fall Out Boy looking really really good (Andy sans beard! and I admit it, even Pete!) - what's not to love?
Also, today is my FOUR YEAR
LAST.FM/AUDIOSCROBBLER-VERSARY! \o/ I was thinking of writing a little something about how my musical taste has changed over the years, but I can't actually be bothered and I don't think it has - I just listen to more artists within similar genres. Instead, I'm posting this hilarious mix I made (originally for
princesslia84):
you drop a jam; i drop an egg | a menstruation mix

feedback 'cause my swag is serious
something heavy like a first day period
strum me like a guitar blow out my amplifier
when you hear some feedback, keep going; take it higher.
stink mitt vs bmix |
crime scene this room'll be a crime scene

I bleed
gotta go for Kotex
after this sex
after eatin' up all of my
Tampax
[...]
(never trust a bitch who lives after bleedin' for days.)

on the rag it's that time of the month,
again, you're bitching,
stop yelling at me
I know you've got to
plug yourself up
but why take it out on me?

bad moon rising I see the bad moon a-rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today.

blood on the rocks
blood in the gutter

happy & bleeding I'm happy and bleeding for you
fig fruit flower myself inside out
I'm tired and I'm bleeding for you
fig fruit flower myself inside out for you
fig fruit flower myself inside out for you.

blood in the boardroom I'm the only part of summer here
that made it inside
in the air-conditioned building
decorated with coporate flair
I wonder
can these boys smell me bleeding
though my underwear?
creedence clearwater revival |
bad moon rising I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
pixies |
i bleed prithee, my dear,
why are we here
nobody knows
we go to sleep
as breathing flows
my mind secedes
i bleed.
alix olson |
built like that some art's real nice to look at,
some art's all neat and clean
my art forgot her tampon
and she’s bleeding through her jeans.
empires |
i want blood quiet now, you're sucking the charm out
I tried the "get you to love" route, but
now the monster in rage holds me down.
my chemical romance |
blood so give them blood, blood, blood
grab a glass because there's going to be a flood!
» "Delilah" (which is an AMAZING song, especially the last couple of minutes) is the song that put it into my head to make this mix. I first heard it on the 16th May of last year (in Viky's car on the way back from Cobra Starship, that's why I remember it) and it's been playing around in my head ever since. I love the transition from "Blood Ritual" to "Delilah" because they just happened to be in that order as I was doing my first listen through of the ~30 tracks I had originally. If you listen to it you might not think it's anything special, but I don't know, it was so seamless (usually I have to cut a few seconds of songs here and there, y'see) that it made my stomach do a sharp sick dip when I heard it. (See also: Damien Rice, O, "The Blower's Daughter" into "Cannonball".)
» gonna drop this verse as i ovulate. This mix would be NOTHING, a shadow of it's true fantasticness without "Crime Scene". The lyrics are so graphic that they're in HD, and the mix name is taken from this song. ♥
» I love Alix Olson's work. You should check out the full text of "
Cunt Cuntry" and "
Built Like That".
» Dear Sean & Tom & Al & Ryan & Max, forgive me for I have desecrated "I Want Blood" and lolled for too much. If it's any consolation, I'm fairly sure that the people on my bus think I'm a little unhinged.
& "I woke up this morning and my bed was like a butcher's slab." One of my favourite quotes from The League of Gentlemen. ♥
