sebastiennea lot of people have uploaded music to their journals or otherwise sent me songs. because it takes me a while to decide, i rarely seem to give the people who give me fabulous songs the credit they deserve. so i'm uploading some of the best songs, with a great big thank you to the people who introduced me to them. sometimes i don't know the artist, or even the name of the song; i shall describe as best i can. but these are my very favourites of all the songs i've 'borrowed' from other people over the years - i hope you like them too. if you uploaded them, comment, and i will do something in exchange. upload a song, write a drabble, tell everyone on my flist how much i adore you. these are the songs that have made me happy when i've been down.
out of my head by fastball. it's just so pretty, and melodic.
i mean this chastely by the ambassadors of sorrow - i mean to be chaste. chased? just a beautiful beautiful paean to repressed sexuality. with handclaps. and an incredibly hypnotic vocal.
damn, wish i was your lover - sophie b hawkins. yes, i'm a sucker for Women Who Feel Stuff.
sympathy for the devil - guns & roses. the version from the interview with a vampire film. so good i could die.
lover, you should have been over - jeff buckley. the only jeff buckley i own apart from hallelujah, it's almost even more pretty. mournful.
cathedrals - jump, little children - another mournful one. i didn't realise, until i started compiling this, how mournful i like my music. in the cathedrals of new york and rome / there is a feeling that you should just go home.
the internet is for porn from avenue Q - this one isn't mournful! it's hilarious! and from a musical that mocks muppets!
last call casualty - i have a soft spot for bowling for soup and i don't care.
the girl all the bad guys want is another example of this dubious taste. i can't get enough!
girl anachronism - the dresden dolls. i think narayani would love this song. as she can't download in durham i'll have to put it on a CD for her. i got this from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
parsnip, and it makes me want to jump around the room, screaming and head-banging. it's insane. like me, some days.
hot topic - le tigre. i don't even know why i like this song, there is no defining thing that i can pick out. i just enjoy it immensely.
Comin' Up From Behind - ok, this one doesn't fit the theme. i went searching for it myself, because it was used as a backing track in Burlesk ond ohmigod is it amazing. shecksy.
