Uni open day; people on tours of the College keep sticking their heads in front of the door to the Fairfax room (to which I have retired in order to study in peace, ha ha), as though I am some kind of fascinating exhibit. Or perhaps someone hired to look Studious so that the parents feel reassured that they will be sending their little darlings to a bastion of scholarly pursuits instead of a den of alcohol and ever-more-ribaldly-themed parties.

I am thiiiis close to posting the next chapter of the heist AU. Number of months that have passed between chapters: many, lots. I have become one of Those People. I hate Those People.

But first! Studying. I am listening to a playlist called 'soulharbour' which is one of my melodic, soothing, pretty playlists. It needs some new additions.


Current tracklisting:

The Corrs -- Long Night
Sarah McLachlan -- River
Vienna Teng -- Augustine
Over the Rhine -- Born
Lisbeth Scott -- Where
Kaiser Cartel -- The Good Ones
Pocahontas ST -- If I Never Knew You
The New Pornographers -- These Are The Fables
Alanis Morissette -- Wunderkind
Carrie Underwood -- Ever Ever After
Tori Amos -- Pretty Good Year
Charlotte Gainsbourg -- The Operation
Regina Spektor -- The Call
Dido -- Take My Hand
Missy Higgins -- The Sound of White
Bjork -- Hyperballad
Loreena McKennitt -- Stolen Child

You can probably assume that if it came out any time in the last few years, I won't have heard it, because I am a dirty pop-ignorant heathen. Introductions to new artists in the same vein of the abovelisted would be awesome.

Upload links adored.

I like to listen to songs by "Rachel's" over and over and over. But they have no lyrics at all. ??

What about Neko Case, Patty Griffin, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Matt Pond, the National and/or Tracy Chapman?

I'm terrible with lyrics when I study or write; the lyrics end up in the text if I'm writing. Not always a good thing.

I will have to upload these somewhere, but I love That's Okay and Hurricane by the Hush Sound for playlists like these.

Do you have a recommended upload spot?

I recommend this mix (http://littledust.livejournal.com/445337.html?style=mine) I made!

Yael Naim -- "Far Far"
Idan Raichel -- "Mimaamakim" (except he's a boy... is that okay? all the singers on your list I recognize are female, but you didn't specify. But it's sooo gorgeous)
