Otherwise known as What Fahye Is Listening To Obsessively Just At The Moment.



Anna Nalick - In The Rough

You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands
"It's your fault for running, holding diamonds," I said

I am on a mad Anna Nalick kick at the moment. Just the right kind of pretty, catchy easy-listening stuff I adore. And this song is...gah, it's gorgeous. It has been stuck in my head for the past two days.

Billy Joel - Only The Good Die Young

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun

This song never, ever fails to cheer me up. It's about seducing Catholic schoolgirls! And it's so damn bouncy! I rediscovered it recently.

Suzanne Vega - The Queen and the Soldier (Live)

And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"

Amazing, guitar-y, delicate ballad. This live version is wonderful; somehow the emotion is more raw and the story is even more heartbreaking.

The Seekers - Red Rubber Ball

You never cared for secrets I'd confide
For you I'm just an ornament, something for your pride

The Seekers were my childhood. No, seriously. And this song has a weird dichotomy of being folksy and full of good harmony and also being a great post-breakup ego-boosting song.

Patty Griffin - Made Of Clay

You'd think the sky would be all rained out
You'd think that we could forgive by now

I cannot describe how awesome this song is. I have been singing it and humming it and wishing my voice could do the soaring, simple notes as well as hers.

The Hooters - All You Zombies

All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street

BEST SONG EVER. Srsly. Bizarrely biblical eighties pop. SO CATCHY.

Alizée - Amelie M'a Dit

Solitaire dans mon photomaton
J'suis pas belle, mais c'est a l'unissons

I am yet to fall out of love with this song. It is taking me a staggeringly long time. So pretty. And it's about Amelie. What's not to like?

Bloc Party - Two More Years

What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
I've become crueler in your presence

THIS SONG WILL TAKE OVER YOUR HEAD. That is all.

Josh Pyke - Middle Of The Hill

and the stories that the ceiling told through the pictures on the grains and the pine wood bumps
and I could stay outside till the sky went red

This one is kind of hard to explain. Um. Just listen to it. The lyrics are rambly and narrative and occasionally bizarre.

Fall Out Boy - Sugar We're Goin' Down

I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

asjxwadgtfnbsPILOTS. PILOTS PILOTS PILOTS. Yes. Plz see icon. I know half of you have this, but if you don't: download now. Thank me later.

Gustavo Santaolalla - The Wings

Bittersweet instrumental from the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack. I keep putting this on repeat and just blissing out.

Boccherini - La Musica Notturna Delle Strade Di Madrid No. 6 Op. 30

Okay, long and tedious name. Gorgeous piece of music. They use the main theme on the Master and Commander soundtrack a lot.

James Newton Howard - Restoration

I have been listening to this for a ridiculously long time without getting in the least bit sick of it. I do my homework to it. I write to it. It's perfect.

Now, if anyone has a copy of any of the following, I would be hugely appreciative:

Howie Day - Collide
Switchfoot - Gone
Rascal Flatts - What Hurts The Most
Vienna Teng - anything except 'Gravity', which I already have

Oh my God, I love "The Queen and The Soldier". Makes me cryyyyy. ;_;

I did a music post. It's over on my LJ. *pokes*

[fahye.livejournal.com]

OMG Matthew Good! I almost uploaded 'Weapon' for this post, but I think I've uploaded it a billion times before.

[littledust.livejournal.com]

Matt Good is my hero. It's not every day you hear something that redeems an entire genre.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

*wibbles*

Send me Weapon, plz? OMGILOVETHATSONG.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Matthew Good - Weapon (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=07R7G1S3RKTOF233FDHWXISLBA)

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[kcdl.livejournal.com]

I love your music post. We seem to have similar musical tastes and since you often post stuff I've never heard of you often introduce me to new stuff I like.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad :) What're you listening to at the moment? Care to upload a few in exchange?

[kcdl.livejournal.com]

I have a look to see if I've got anything worth uploading that's a bit different. I'm feeling a bit lazy at the moment though - I've got my sister and her husband over.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

omg music!

*falls at Fahye's feet*

My new laptop has, like, fifteen songs. I need music like crazy. Thank you!

[fahye.livejournal.com]

OMGHICARRIE!

...it doesn't work as well without the icon, does it?

You have been absent! Well. I have too. I am currently on a hiatus from my hiatus because it's a long weekend, but that will end tonight :(

OH. Katie (http://fahye.livejournal.com/284354.html). Ahem.

You want more music? Listen and tell me what you like, and I'll upload you some more songs like it.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

I have been a little absent, yes. This weekend I have been working lots, so that is my excuse. And I have so much schoolwork to catch up on, so I anticipate being absent for many days to come. *sads*

Ack I need to read the Katie!

And more music...I might just take you up on that. The sad thing is I had some of the songs you need on my old laptop, but not on this one. For Vienna Teng, you should try Harbor, Momentum (my favorite besides Gravity), Lullaby for a Stormy Night, Hope on Fire (I'm SO TOTALLY BSG-vidding that one when I get some clips again), and Daughter.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Schoolwork is the devil *eyes own piles of yet-to-be-done research* Good luck!

Well, I am going to do some notetaking into Word, so I'll be here for many hours :D Just let me know.

[indigo419.livejournal.com]

oh! katie! any chance you would be willing to share that with another member of the guilty-pleasures club? *flutters eyelids politely*

[indigo419.livejournal.com]

err.. that should have read "eyelashes," duh! anyway, not a problem if katie's not for public consumption. :0)

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I just posted it to the community :)

[shati.livejournal.com]

I can Teng you up. :D

[fahye.livejournal.com]

:O How dirty that sounds.

[shati.livejournal.com]

That's crazy talk.

*peers*

What is a .rar format? My computer dinnae like et.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

You have to have Winrar on your computer. I don't have a link, but if you google Winrar the site will come up.

Vienna Teng - Feather Moon (http://s32.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2NMF887XE3NE01DB4OT87GP1QB)

[dopplegl.livejournal.com]

O, how I will never get oveer 'The Wings.'

Also: I had an egg sandwich at Ji's today and it was DAMN GOOD.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

You crazy kids and your egg sandwiches. Harumph. I had a mushroom and mozzarella omelette for dinner?

And now I am reading about artificial insemination and male infertility and reproductive technology and blah blah blah. Rather be writing.

PILOTS.

Just because.

[kcdl.livejournal.com]

Well I've just listened through all of them. I think Middle Of The Hill is my favourite of the ones I didn't know previously, quite odd - I like it. I like most of the those songs actually but I'm not going to bore by listing them in order of preference with "tasting" notes.

I've been a fan of All You Zombies for sometime, even though they play it 104.7 quite a lot (104 has a tendancy to kill songs for me that way - and yet still I listen to it 'cause I need my dose of '80s).

I might do my own music post tomorrow if I have time.
