plea for help

[fahye]

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?

Anything by Lemon Demon.

A lot of things by The Killers, also, including Bones (http://youtube.com/watch?v=dpG03LzdlDA), Sam's Town (http://youtube.com/watch?v=DiFqK4DFrOk), and of course Somebody Told Me (http://youtube.com/watch?v=28TJJ1FY0mE).

Fall Out Boy's This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Hp-t4_SW3Hg).

Cobra Starship: Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=A1wMyKQ6jUg), Church of Hot Addiction (http://youtube.com/watch?v=LYrRuP0ixJA), Send My Love To The Dancefloor, I'll See You In Hell (Hey Mister DJ) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=O0aYlegjjPI). Actually pretty much their entire CD, I played it about a dozen times when I drove from KS to NY. Um. That's probably conservative, actually.

The Academy Is...: The Phrase That Pays (http://youtube.com/watch?v=_CFaHPLnD-M). This song is actually kind of sad, in a way, but at the same time it is awesome, and vaguely optimistic, and the video results in a lot of WTF. (Several of these videos do that, actually. You may have noticed that by now.)

Gym Class Heroes: Cupid's Chokehold (http://youtube.com/watch?v=eiiU-Fky18s).

And, of course, the classic song on this list: Simon and Garfunkel's Cecilia (http://youtube.com/watch?v=rL83-ljQiMo).

Um. You could always watch Bob Ross videos? I don't know if they counter apathy, but they're very calming, anyway.

... there's also this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uBtH2YlNiNc). Now featuring illegal strip clubs! ¬_¬

PS Lemon Demon (http://youtube.com/results?search_query=lemon+demon&search=Search) songs.

I love lemon demon.

Bob Ross videos mostly just foster the desire to sit in your chair and smile at the world.

I would put in a vote for this version of Cupid's Chokehold, mostly because I like robots. *shifty face*

Also, a live performance by Rufus Wainwright (In A Graveyard and Complainte de la Butte). And Crawling Towards the Sun, by The Hush Sound, an audio file for which I don't have because it wasn't on the CD I thought it was.

:D?

I saw The Academy Is live and can't take them seriously. I have more testosterone in a single egg than the lead singer has in his whole body.

Oh, William.

(I cannot argue. But I still love them.)
