- I have been severely lax in my quest for new tunes. You lot are hiding all the good stuff (except for

swankyfunk . She gets a pass because she's been making my ipod work overtime.) I did actually purchase a collection of Over The Rhine (yes, for one song) but like a dork, I forgot to upload it to my pod. I miss my 60GB. 8GB just doesn't hold enough variety. (What's all this I hear about new Muse?  Is it any good?)

- I have too many unfinished writing like projects, but writing recently has been like pulling teeth. My brain meats are just not working properly. I need more exercise and possibly copious amounts of Vit B & Caffeine. Maybe a chimney sweep or that roto-rooter guy. Snake my brains out.

- I have house guests coming for a week on Friday and I need to get some serious tidying done. I'm really glad they're coming, and on the other hand, I hate having my routine disrupted for a week. (But sometimes routine disruptions are good things, I keep telling myself. Really, I'm such a god-damned hermit.

- Big party plans for October are finally coalescing. I have a ton of costume stuff I need to work on, bits to buy, little things to make. It's going to be an awesome party. (All it needs to make it perfect is live music, but we're on a budget so I doubt that's going to happen. Man, where's my gypsy peeps when I need them!?)

- My coat (far left, floor length) is going to be so FUCKING awesome. Pale canvas coloured, and I'm doing something special with the lining. It's going to KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES. That with the steampunk carbine?  And HATS. I have not ONE but TWO TOPHATS this year. Okay, this seriously fills me with glee. I need to find gloves now.

+ Meme me. Give me your favourite recent meme that you haven't seen me do, and I'll throw it out there for you.  Why? Because you're awesome. Yes, You. Don't be shy about it. You know I'm right. <3<3<3

*snugs* I hope the house guests are fun and writing just comes and goes.

Mm, how about a meme about playlists. Create a playlist for me or one of my characters.

Oo, that's a good one. I shall start jotting notes.

Also, you're off the hook for new tunes too, with the new Fleet Foxes. <3

I was thinking about it recently since its a meme that I've always liked since I end up discovering lovely new music.
Forgive the pup journal, no ljlogin on the university computers.

Glad to have provided your iPod with a workout :D

I have to start thinking of a Halloween costume...

I bet you a dollar your H'ween costume has a hat.

I'd love to point you towards new tunes but I've been on a nostalgia kick lately and have only been listening to old Siouxsie and the Banshees.

As for Halloween, I'm tempted to try an Iroh but I don't think I have the time or he facial hair.

Hey, Siouxsie is awesome and I'll always take your favourite tracks.

And the costume isn't precisely for Halloween, but my birthday which is a few days prior. We're having a steampunk tea & croquet party, followed by a dinner party and Games of Chance!!

Oh I am jealous! Steampunk Tea party and games of chance?

I just got my daughter hooked on Crazy Eights and she has recently started wiping the floor with me on a too regular basis.

Oh and as for Siouxsie tunes, I'm "previewing" the recent boxed set of B-sides which I found here (http://noisejunkie.blogspot.com/2009/07/siouxsie-and-banshees-downside-up-2004.html). This will be something I own once I have the $$$ for it.

TUNES!

The latest Muse album (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=70CB761W), which, personally, I really like.

The soundtrack to The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ROB8KUQ9), which is absolutely lovely and so, so melancholy.

The album First Rodeo by Honeyhoney (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AP4LHBQI). I happen to find it adorable.

Now, for single songs: Life on Mars (http://www.box.net/shared/qupyv9rr3a) as performed by Seu Jorge for the soundtrack of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I love the original song, and I do really enjoy Seu Jorge's covers.

Perfect Lovesong (http://www.box.net/shared/cg3lo6vnz1) by the Divine Comedy, for whom I have a huge, huge weakness.

It's Not That Easy (http://www.box.net/shared/0dmstob6on) by Erin McCarley, the lyrics to which I linked you earlier.

Three O'Clock in the Morning (http://www.box.net/shared/nd6ovso3as) as performed by Paul Whiteman's Orchestra, because waltzes are my Achilles heel when it comes to music (SHUSH) and askldfhaev. This one was mentioned in The Great Gatsby, interestingly enough. (Her glance left me and sought the lighted top of the steps, where THREE O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING, a neat, sad little waltz of that year, was drifting out the open door. After all, in the very casualness of Gatsby’s party there were romantic possibilities totally absent from her world. What was it up there in the song that seemed to be calling her back inside? What would happen now in the dim, incalculable hours? Perhaps some unbelievable guest would arrive, a person infinitely rare and to be marvelled at, some authentically radiant young girl who with one fresh glance at Gatsby, one moment of magical encounter, would blot out those five years of unwavering devotion.)

Someday My Prince Will Come (http://www.box.net/shared/scgt72ztai) as performed by Miles Davis. It's my favorite song on the CD from which this particular track hails.

Brightly Wound (http://www.box.net/shared/t7x2s2eyb7) by Eisley. I have no real comments on this. Maybe because I'm getting lazy.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (http://www.box.net/shared/paincg0la2) as covered by Marilyn Manson, because I actually can't help myself.

The Story (http://www.box.net/shared/1tqsyj1dov) by Brandi Carlile. Personally, I love the grit of her voice. I know people who don't. :B

The Big Sleep (http://www.box.net/shared/5sszvzkcrd), by Gaspard Royant, as featuring in the film Un conte de Noël.

And finally, Bottle It Up (http://www.box.net/shared/snlo2eydr0) by Sara Bareilles. It's lovely, and I like it.

Also, if you want the extended (e.g. Rog went and looked up the tracks that were not on the official soundtrack and pastedededede them on) soundtrack to Inglourious Basterds? Hit me up.

Also, oh my god I have to start thinking about a Halloween costume. I kind of want to dress up as Mr. Blonde except for the fact that no one will get it. I really need better ideas.

UM, MEMES. I am a total failure at this. What Fi said.

In the meantime, have Til Schweiger being precious (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pytt851sNQ0) and Christoph Waltz being interviewed in the same place but with slightly better camerawork (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW5j3e-6_kQ). Also, LET'S DO THAT ONE MORE TIME. WHY? BECAUSE WE LOOOVE MAKING MOOVIIIIES (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riIsl9iaAGs).

~gapes in awe at your amazingness~

WORK IS EATING MY BRAIN RIGHT NOW BUT I WILL REPLY TO THIS COHERENTLY IN A FEW.

<3<3<3

:DDDD

Seu Jorge is a god among men, and I went straight from the theatre to buy that soundtrack. Life on Mars is one of my all time hands down favourite Bowie covers.

I will dl the rest of these this evening as my thumb drive is now weeping openly.

You? ARE A PEACH. (which in common parlance means, OMG IG SOUNDTRACK ~SWOON~)

I can see a little USB stick crying in my mind's eye and I don't whether I should laugh or start feeling sorry.

I TRY REALLY HARD AT THESE THINGS. There are, like, two tracks that are AFK. BUT no one else seems to be able to find them either, so. Un momento~
