plea for help

RIGHT. LJ. I woke up this morning, after a horrific bout of insomnia, with a heavy feeling of complete and total apathy. Towards everything. I despise apathy. I despise not being able to shake it.

Ergo: I need anti-apathy music. I need to bop around my room like a crazyperson for a while.

So far I have "Find Your Grail" from Spamalot and "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" from Mulan. (Just...don't say anything.)

I need suggestions. What do you use to chase away cobwebs and motivate yourself?

More thoughts;

"Lemon-Aid" and "Give up the Grudge" by Gob.
"Stadium Parking Lot" by Apollo 440
"Learn to Fly" by the Foo Fighters
"Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen
"Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen (Whaaaat?)
"Tentai Kansoku" by Bump of Chicken
"Rollercoaster" by Machine Gun Fellatio
"Suffer in Silence" by Apoptygma Berzerk (Trust me on this...don't judge it by it's title. It's one of the bounciest songs ever.)
"The Longest Time" and "Matter of Trust" by Billy Joel

Anime opening themes are good for that kind of thing too. I suggest X, Bubblegum Crisis and Angelic Layer's openings.

And that's all that's coming to me.

oh! I'm a twit. 16 Military Wives by the Decemberists. Good singing along music.

Strangely enough, I suggest the Grease soundtrack for if you ever want to do housework.

The only one of those I have is "Under Pressure", but ooh. *adds*

I do housework to nothing but musical soundtracks :D Generally Wicked or Boy From Oz.

Really? You are missing some great music that you should have anyway, then.

I started listing the ones that were essential, but that covered just about all of them. So I won't.

But! I will point out that while most songs have people who don't like them, I've yet to find anyone who doesn't like 16 Military Wives. Ditto "Rollercoaster" - even people like myself who don't like MGF like that song.

Don't suppose you could upload those few that are most vital to any good music collection? :D

I shall do my best, but it'll take a while since we went over a download limit (Damn you, new series of Scrubs!) so I'm at dialup speed. Bleh.

Actually I think it might be best if I email them to you. What's your address these days?

Neat!

One more question - do you have "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" by Jet?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed!

Excellent. I can also suggest "The Distance" and "Short Skirt, Long Jacket" by Cake...but if you're a good person you have those already.
