1. I realise that I need to stop abusing my headphones. Because even though ONE set is cheap enough at $25, the fact that I bought my third one for the year today? Means I've spent $75 so far! WTF. I never MEAN to break my headphones, obviously. But I just... do? And it sucks, because these are the nice clip-on kind, which produce AMAZING-quality ( Read more... )

Wait wait. Norbert and Raul in one show? Is that what you are telling me? Good thing they picked the worst possible time. D: Nooo.

I don't reeeally think you'll like this, but it's what I uploaded for the other girl doing this meme, and I do love it.
The Salads - Unhappy

NORBERT AND RAUL, YES. It's all kinds of insanity, isn't it? I could go for Norbert and Raul or Bill Macy and Raul and aieeeee. CRAZY.

Hey, I can like SOME rock songs!! Actually, I DO like rock songs - it's hip-hop that I have a lot more trouble getting into. I love Unhappy, it's really catchy. Thanks for the rec; I must say I've not heard of The Salads before, so it's good to know another band of awesome! XD

They're Canadian. Their song Get Loose was a bit of a hit a few years ago. I should listen to more of their stuff.

The Story - Brandi Carlile - http://www.sendspace.com/file/zfmpxq

The first time I heard this song, I literally stopped right where I was and was like "... yes"

That was an attempt to put a non broadway related song up, by the way. And my attempt not to be obvious since everybody knows what I listen to mostly. Very few songs from the "popular music" end of things actually move me but this one does.

But two you should have that I don't want you putting on as my song because I don't want to be judged as broadway-centric are:
Laura's Supergirl - http://www.sendspace.com/file/0k8uzn
Kate's cover of Wreck of the Day - http://www.sendspace.com/file/g52pqx

I'm going to try very hard not to use any capslock in this comment at all, but it's going to be really really hard. Because I adore all of the songs you uploaded - and every single one is going on my fanmix! I wouldn't have minded if you'd just given me musical theatre stuff, since you have such great taste in that anyway, but thank you a million times over for The Story. I've not heard of Brandi Carlile before, but I definitely want to know more. You're right. I heard the song once and was just... very very much "yes yes yes!"

I've downloaded Kate's Wreck Of The Day before, I think, possibly on your recommendation, but hadn't remembered to listen to it again after that time. Now I can't get enough of it. Oof. Can we say many many kinds of amazing. Do you have her entire Birdland concert up for download somewhere? Because I sense that Kate is someone I need to be listening to, yesterday.

Thank you. These songs. Seriously. Just... EPIC. (Okay, so I couldn't resist the capslock...!!)

Awww thank you! I'm just glad they amuse other people. ;)

SHE'S amusing. She's amazing!

I'll get to Dark Matter at some point, but I must admit it's pretty low on my list at this point. I've got a bunch of other Meryl movies to see first!!

Okay, I decided, sigh. Not what I think is the most amazing song on the planet, but an important one to me anyway.

Ooh, what a GREAT pop song! I love it - the lyrics are fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing! The best thing IS that the song is important to YOU.

Omg don't let me forget Bride in Jan!!

zomg expensive headphones. :( I think I need a new ipod pair soon, mine are a little worse for the wear. And I got my ipod last Xmas so maybe it's time? xD

Aww, I'd miss Norbert. :P

It's half twelve and Lana is still asleep...

Oh man, now I need to give you a song. Go to Meredith's post for my other two and here is one for you! xD

OMG, if it's easier for you to just post me the book, you should do that! In fact, I bet you can post it to me from within the Singapore airport terminal when you're in transit. XD But seriously, it's no big, so don't stress about it.

Expensive?! D: I thought $25 was okay. $75, however, for the same effect - MUCH less okay. Get a new pair in time for the trip! XD

It'd be great to see EITHER Norbert or Bill Macy, augh!

LOL, Lana. A girl after my own heart. ;)

AND. That song is fantastic! Is it in Dutch? (I love how you don't listen to anything in English anymore, LOL.) It's so poppy and awesome!! XD

Omg, I sent postcards from Changi airport last time, I could totally send it to you there. :D And if I forget, it'll still be in my bag for a DC handover. ;)

OMG. IT'S ALL SO SOON. LANA AND I HAVE FLIGHTS CHANGED AND ALL CONFIRMED AND WIN!

$75 is so not okay. :P

Yes it is Dutch! A friend of mine found it SOMEWHERE, I have no idea where, and then one day when I was feeling blah it came up on shuffle and there was something about it that really cheered me up, so I put it on repeat for the rest of my walk to work which was like 8 more plays. xD
