let it roll right off your shoulders

It's a beautiful day here in the sunny Northern Rivers region, and I am sitting inside sneezing sullenly all over my laptop in the hope that I can finish this stupid EBM assignment before my immune system completely gives out.

It's also a beautiful day to be in Sydney for Supanova, I'm sure. SIGH.

Ooh, a question for you all: are there any songs that spark particular emotions in you because of their use in TV shows or movies? I can only think of a couple of examples off the top of my head: Michelle Branch's 'Goodbye To You' (heartbreaking) and Dire Straits' 'Brothers in Arms' (bittersweetamazing) because of their use in Buffy and West Wing respectively, and I rewatched Meet the Robinsons last night (IT GETS BETTER EVERY TIME I WATCH IT. MAGICALLY. BEST ANIMATED FILM TO EVER EXIST Y/N?) and thus have Rob Thomas' 'Little Wonders' on repeat as the ultimate inspirational work-hard-and-follow-your-dreams song.

(I would show you the Little Wonders scene but it's epically spoilery for the film and if you haven't seen Meet the Robinsons (I am not judging. ryokophoenix had to talk about it nonstop for months before I watched it. but you SHOULD WATCH IT.) then you really, really don't want to be spoilered.)

Tell me your songs with media-generated emotional associations! Bonus points for YouTube evidence.

Oh my god, those fan-compiled soundtracks sound like the best thing in the WORLD. How can I bribe you to mail me a data DVD stuffed full of them? I once downloaded a fan-compiled Bones soundtrack and it was just. Amazing. So much wonderful music!

um, you could bribe me by linking me to that Bones one :O hahah. I can totally upload them for you! Or at least the best of ;) it is true that it would take some huge data CD to send you the Buffy one, for example. The Buffy one was a torrent of every song that was ever on Buffy or Angel - some of them that just get referenced in the dialogue, not even played - organized by episode. It took me like a full week to download it xD I don't even have half the songs on my computer right now because I was just too overwhelmed to go through them once I actually had them all. I HAVE AN ADDICTION

I can't remember where I got it, actually, maybe somewhere in the bowels of the 206_bones memories? I'm okay for Buffy music, I have quite a fair bit of it, but the other shows sound great. (And I can't really download large files, so I'd prefer something in the mail!)

Can do! if you email me your mailing address (my email is just my username @gmail) I can send you a CD sometime this summer ;) oh - do you have a mac? I ask because even though it shouldn't matter, sometimes weird things happen with compatibility :/ sigh. computers.
