Excuse me, but this needs to come out or I'll do something silly like explode in a BAZILLION ANGRY, BABBLING PIECES. So, ( a literary rant. ) All of which means: IT JUST MAKES ME MAD OK? I'm shutting up now. Any of you that are still, like, here? You guys get some music, because you're pretty awesome and you certainly deserve it.
Also, Robin is currently on her way to HAWAII, what the hell. *anxious, fidgety fingers* ETA: Nuuu, I accidentally made plans with my mother for dinner tonight at EIGHT O'CLOCK what was I thinking?!
-Prince - Get Off
Kinda dirty and hot, but also just plain fun because, c'mon, it's Prince. And it's totally one of those songs you dance around your room to when no one's watching.
-Blue Oyster Cult - Moon Crazy
This is one of those songs I never knew I knew, even though I did know in a really vague way. That made no sense. You'll understand once you listen - it's really catchy and its kind of like you've always known the melody, but you can't quite place where from.
-The Strokes & Regina Spektor - Post-modern Girls
First time I listened to this, I had no idea who Regina Spektor was. I believe I said something along the lines of, "NO! I CAN'T HEAR JULIAN, GO AWAY HOR!!" at the time, but now I take it all back. It's a really fantastic blend of both their styles and, yes. So much love.
-The Prodigy - Wake Up Call
Yeah, I don't know what to say about this one. It's kind of insane and it gets your blood pumping. I like to listen to it when I'm dragging.
-Bjork - Oceania
This song actually amazes me in a way not many songs do. Say what you'd like about Bjork's quirky habits, but the woman can certainly write music and she has a hell of a voice for such a tiny thing. Apparently this was written specifically for an awards ceremony of sorts in Greece, and the London Choir is who backs her up. Man.
-The Books - Don't Even Sing About It
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, and very specifically put together. Not really vocal music, per say, but still moving.
-Dirty Pretty Things - Puffin on a Coffin Nail
Awjofgawf, Carl Barat. Awjofgawf. This is just a demo, apparently, but it definitely should have made it onto the CD. Incredibly jumpy and catchy and, yeah. It's Carl, ok?
-Pink Martini - Brazil
The best thing about Pink Martini is that they're not confined to one type of music. They like to sing jazz and Japanese-inspired and folk and this - which is sweet and romantic with just a dash of salsa.
-Flogging Molly - Devil's Dance Floor
PENNY WHISTLE. If that doesn't get you to download a song, I have no idea what will, you cold-blooded freak. Maybe it's because I'm Celtic, but this song gets me excited in a huge way - emotionally and physically. It comes on and I'm dancing across the room, bouncing along.
-Billy Gillman - Itty Bitty Pretty One
Shut up, I know he was twelve at the time, but he was still cute. I might have had a crush on him and thought he was the best singer in the world. This song, though, has withstood the test of time! I'm a legal adult and I still adore it! It's a remake, obviously, but his angelic little voice is so absolutely perfect for the tune I can't help myself.
