Okay, so, I'm writing this paper on global hip-hop, and I'm trying to get more international examples other than the ones used in class, and I figured if anybody could answer this question, it would def. be my flist, so ( Read more... )

You know the drill. Here are random lyrics from thirty songs (it was supposed to be twenty, but there were so many doubles for several artists, hint hint). Your mission is to guess the artist and title! No fair googling.

1. This is the kind of afternoon I'm having: I put pants on so that I could go and collect my mail (wherein I found my new big subby wristband), then immediately took them off again. Now I am, as you can often find me of a Saturday, sitting in my underpants, drinking a beer, listening to David Bowie, contemplating making some brownies ( Read more... )

So, Moogfest was this past weekend, and despite assorted problems (which I will not detail except in another, locked entry), I had a pretty good time. I am informed some people find con/festival reports interesting, and I needed something to write for mini_nanowrimo, so here are the awesome concerts I saw. ( For they were awesome. )

So, I've kind of been listening to Weep all day? I can't help it if they are awesome, or if Doc Hammer occasionally gets butt naked at their shows. And somehow this devolved into a giant post of covers that I like. I swear, this was a logical progression.

So I have to keep stopping in a middle of a paragraph to go "GOD THIS IS SUCH A FUCKING GOOD SONG, TURN THAT SHIT UP" and so forth ( Read more... )

1. Fans of dance music, mashups, or textual poaching in general: Bootie Magazine has released the new Best of Bootie, its yearly mashup compilation, which is once again awesome. And it's free! I particularly recommend "Party & Bullshit (In the USA)" and "Shut Up and Take Me Out"; also of note is "It's My Life Confessions, Pt. II", the all-Glee ( Read more... )

Here is an idea what I stole from topaz_eyes:

I want to make a flist playlist/fanmix with one song from everyone. So if you're reading this, upload me a song that you want to represent you for this playlist!Comments screened. If people are into it, I will compile them all and then show you it. Don't worry if you don't want to/don't know how to upload- just ( Read more... )

1. After much dicking around and generalized grab-assery, it looks like I'll be living in the dorms at Berkeley this summer. I've got to talk to the airline today or tomorrow (yay for free tickets), but I should be there from roughly July 4 to August 14. And once that's settled, I'm pretty sure all my plans are set until Dragon*Con. Hurrah!
