This Post Was Brought to You by the Letter "D"

Mar 11, 2011 14:48

I could be focusing on the fact I haven't been writing much lately and haven't finished Christmas requests (or, really, started on most of them), or I could do a meme! :D YAY, MEMES.

This one goes out to darling Sirona who posted the meme before me.

The rules are as follows:

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload) 5 songs you love that begin with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

meme, music

Oh crap. I'd never heard Devils and Gods live, actually, not even on Youtube - you're right, it's definitely even better *0* (On another hand, Precious Things's the one she always plays and it's jaw-dropping every single tiiiiiime ♥♥ *worshipping, worshipping*)

... The DBZ thing is kinda awesome, actually, and I'm not even a passing fan. xD But you should be ashamed for the Twilight song ! I totally have an awesome song on my ipod that I'm almost positive is about Twilight, but I don't want to check and have my suspicions confirmed, nooooooo

Lots of people love Regina Spektor and recommend her to me... but I'm just not catching on for some reason :/ ... I do really like the part from 1:40 to 3:05 though. Also the video is cute xD

I've only seen it on youtube. I think I first discovered it because I was looking at live performances on youtube because I saw your entry about seeing her live. There are entire sections of the song that aren't in the studio version--it's not even the same song anymore. (Oh, that's good, because Precious Things is one of my favorites. ♥)

Really? I figured it was mostly nostalgia filter making it sound so cool. It's a decent remix--y'know, everything on beat and nothing off-key. XD The movies are an embarrassment for many reasons, and Boyf names all the worst cinematography-based ones because he's a film geek every time they're mentioned, but the music is actually pretty good. It has Florence + the Machine, Death Cab for Cutie, and other awesome things, so I'm willing to trust them with mixing a CD. The only flaw I've seen so far is the overdose of Muse (I don't like the band that much) and the only Iron & Wine song they've used happens to be the only one I don't like.Some of her stuff is really pretty and really pop, and I like it a ( ... )

*re-re-re-listening to it right now~* (Precious Things is pretty much the Tori song, uh ? ♥ there are dozens of awesome live versions of it all over youtube. Also Pretty Good Year~~ And Sugar also becomes a completely different song ♥ but let's be honest, all her songs sound even more awesome live. FACT : TORI IS AWESOOOOOME.)

The nostalgia filter probably makes it better, but it is decent (and amusing ;p) Florence and the Machine ? Hu. That's unexpected. ... Muse isn't as much of a surprise, but they are usually regarded as a good band (at least over here), I'm not a huge fan either but I do like them.
... I just about died laughing when Linkin Park (What I've Done I think it was) came up during the credits of the first movie. XD I mean, I like LP, but you don't get much more emo-rock-teenager than that. (... Though I didn't like that album very much because it wasn't emo enough. xD *shot*)Yeah, I figured she was kind of like Tori, in the either-you-worship-her-either-you-just-don't-get-it and can-get-away-with-anything-weird way :3 ( ... )

FACT : TORI IS AWESOOOOOME. I think this summarizes it nicely. 8D

Florence and the Machine on more than one album. It's been said in interviews that SMeyer has a giant hard-on for Muse, so it would be more surprising if they weren't on there.
Right? LP is the go to emor-rock-teenangst band. (I liked it at first, and then I decided "meh" for the same reason.)

YEAH. That's a good way to put it. I don't like her music as much as Tori's, but she has some really neat stuff. Mostly I like it 'cause it sounds pretty, though.

8eight | without a heart
The original Korean is shimjangi opso SO IT TOTALLY COUNTS.
I don't understand all the Korean in it so I believe it's possible to feel the meaning of the song through the sound.
For me the most poignant part is when the singer says: I'm without a heart, so I shouldn't have such pain. I can't say I haven't wondered these thoughts myself before.

This is my IN THE ABSENCE OF CAFFEINE song. Invigorates me quite nicely at 4AM! You'll see ;)
My advice would be to skip the intro to the song, and to read the lyrics. Quite humorous indeed!
