Dreamwidth & Songza
May. 1st, 2009 04:03 pmOkay, so, whenever I actually do make some noise about Dreamwidth, it has been of the "meh" variety, but. I am going to stake my claim anyway. Just... in case? Thanks to
stealingpennies, I'm there as whynot, so friend me if you're there, although I don't foresee myself leaving LJ quite yet. 'lassiter' was available, but I'm still avoiding the "Uhhh, so I guess you're a really big Psych fan, huh?" situation. (Trufax pettiness of the day: I don't watch Psych because I'd feel like a tool participating in the fandom with this name.)
Thanks to
be_themoon, I spent waaaay too much time on the superwonderful Songza, making a playlist of songs I haven't heard in a billion years. Oh man. I was buying cassettes well into high school because they were less than half the price of a CD so, when I digitized, all that was gone. (What the hell was I thinking thinking buying 'Beaucoup Fish' on cassette anyway??) Last night was like a musical reunion or something. Hey, remember "So Little Time" by Arkarna?! Remember Our Lady Peace? They were my favorite band (LIKE, CRAZY FAVORITE) and Matthew Good was always shitting on them hahaha oh man Matthew Good! Here is "Strange Days" by the Matthew Good Band. AND OF COURSE, "Burn" by Tina Arena. OH NINETIES.
Other music things that has given me much joy over the past couple of days:
- Cover Me, a music blog specializing in covers. I like remixes and covers for the same reason I like fic. On that blog, I found:
-- Rivers Cuomo and Rainn Wilson covering "One of Us" by Joan Osborne. YOU GUYS. RIVERS CUOMO AND DWIGHT FROM THE OFFICE. COVERING JOAN OSBORNE. jljflsfjsdl <33333 What if God was one of them?? Dwight plays the bongos and he has a little bongo solo! I used to write fic about Rivers Cuomo boning his rhythm guitarist, and now here he is, ALL GROWED UP and still looking vaguely creepy!
-- "It's Not Easy Being Green", in French. Ce n'est pas facile d'etre vert, for real.
That's right: finals seasons means it's time to search for new distractions! My most recent one is Friday Night Lights. I think it's the first time I'm finding the protagonist super-wholesome AND likable. I'm also constantly wondering what's up with Hardiso--oh wait.
