some music

[erilyn]

List seven songs you are into right now. no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your winter. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. I was tagged by vaudevilles, but am too lazy to tag in response - if you feel like it, consider yourself tagged!

+ Get This Party Started - Shirley Bassey (covering the Pink song)
I haven't been listening to it a lot yet, but that's mostly cause I haven't actually put it on my Zen yet, must remedy, for it is awesome.

+ Snakes on a Plane - Cobra Starship
I really like their album, but this is definitely my favourite (so far).

+ Song for Ten - Murray Gold, from the Doctor Who soundtrack.
Extended (and different singer) version of the song from towards the end of "The Christmas Invasion". I've been ridiculously obsessed with this song for months.

+ The Phrase That Pays - The Academy Is...
It was hard to just pick one from them.

+ Teenagers - My Chemical Romance
I don't know if it's my favourite MCR song, but fucking hell, I can't get it out of my head. Damn you, Gerard Way!

+ Outrageous - Britney Spears
Sometime in the last year or two, I developed a strong fondness for Britney's music, and she's always in rotation when I need workout music, or singing-along-in-shower music, or just gloriously cheesy pop.

+ Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year - Fall Out Boy
This was fucking fucking hard to pick just one. Tomorrow, I'm sure I'd pick a different track.

Many, many of you will already have most of this, and yes, you are always welcome to point and laugh at my belated fall into bandom :)

Snaffling Teenagers, cos vaudevilles told me it's cool, and she is the boss of me. Must listen to Song For Ten (just downloaded the soundtrack), and vaude is hooking me up with some FOB.

Britney FTW!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

It is cool! Obey her!

One of my favourite Britney songs is Do Somethin', which really should explain everything about my love of CHEESE.

[woolly-socks.livejournal.com]

I FUCKING LOVE THAT SONG!!!! /capsquee

[woolly-socks.livejournal.com]

I meant Do Somethin' I haven't listened to Teenagers yet. :-)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Heee :) I've always liked some of Britney's hits, but My Prerogative and Do Somethin both helped me really fall for her stuff, after Toxic had already softened me up.

[woolly-socks.livejournal.com]

Did vaude tell you about the version of Toxic she directed for the cabaret show? She must have. It was WICKED.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yes, sounded AWESOME :D

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

I'm grabbing the MCR and Shirley Bassey (OMG!)

YAY!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

There's a gorgeous video for the Shirley Bassey cover here :)

Do you want some more MCR?

Would you like some candy, little girl?

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

You are totally The Enabler aren't you? um... that's a yes please from me

And have you watched Chris yet?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

How much spare bandwidth have you got a the moment ie do you want selected songs or a couple of albums?

Um...hey look, Gerard and Frank from MCR are making out again!

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

You know you're the third person to post that for me today? DIRTY ENABLERS ALL!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

How about (what I'm sure is a repeat of) Frank examining Gerard's pants during a concert?



So, some selected songs or a couple of albums?

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

Um.... YEAH. OK. *stares at picture*

Select me some MCR songs (I'm giving in and DLing Snakes on a Plane and The Phrase that Pays too.

I've already got all of FOB. Because the LWT likes them *falls over in shock*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

It's fairly hypnotic, isn't it? ;)

And check your friendspage for some songs!

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD THAT VIDEO! The way she giggles outrageously when she's trying to sing 'kissing my ass'

*hee!*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! I OFFICIALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH HER AT THAT POINT :D

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

I've been in love with her since I was tiny. It's being Welsh (did you know they play Big Spender to scare the seagulls away from Cardiff Airport?). In fact I love her so much one of my drag aliases (aliaii?) is Shirley Busty ;o)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Heee, I've always liked her, but this turned it to love :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

OMG! I know exactly what you mean about Teenagers! I've just posted that as one of my seven too.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

It's like they set out to make the perfect song for GETTING STUCK IN PEOPLE'S HEADS FOR DAYS AND DAYS!

[evlarin.livejournal.com]

Stealing... um, hmmm, most. ^.^ Thank you. ^.^

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, enjoy!

[phaballa.livejournal.com]

I need to admit to loving even Britney's really terrible music. Like 'Do Something' and um... 'Bombastic Love.'

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I'm not familiar with the latter one (I only have Into The Zone and My Prerogative).

[phaballa.livejournal.com]

Here you go: Bombastic Love (http://www.sendspace.com/file/a6x3r6).

It's fantastic :P

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Oh, that is indeed fun :D

[littlerhymes]

Just saying - yay! You have joined at the exact right time to take advantage of the upcoming tours. :)

So, guess I'll see you at TAI/CS next week... And then FOB. And then MCR. Hahahahaha!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

That was what pushed me over :D And you will indeed!

[nikibee.livejournal.com]

Yay for falls into new fandoms! I love bandom/punkslash AND popslash, so it's great when I see other people do as well.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yup, I've fallen for the band boys too *g*.

[nikibee.livejournal.com]

Oh, pretty Gerard.

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the Shirley - Spider-Pig is in the mail.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! And I got it, ta :)
