Songs You Can Listen to 700 Times in a Row
I might be the only person that does this, but I somehow doubt it. I have a habit of occasionally latching onto a song and listening to it about 700 times in a row. Eventually, I will switch it up, and I don't do that ALL the time, but since I'm doing it currently with a Nick Cave song, I thought it might make a fun thread topic.
Here's the current song: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Come Into My Sleep" Some others I do this with: The Cult - "Fire Woman" - I am totally driven to flail around like a spazzy wombat to this song every time I hear it, which is, as you can imagine, something of an inconvenience. If I ever come visit you, please do not play this song or some of your valuables might get broken. Seriously. I just had to get up and do it because I had to pull up the song on YouTube for linking purposes. Sisters of Mercy - "Flood II" - If Doktor Avalanche wasn't a drum machine, I would totally marry him. Also, he gives great advice. Move the hell over, Dear Abby - the Doktor is IN (and probably judging me for making terrible jokes). Mick Harvey (former Bad Seed) - "Out of Time Man" Moloko - "Forever More" - I LOVE this song. Not only does it have a great beat and you can dance to it, but the video is fun as hell. Love the choreography. And Roisin Murphy is adorable. David Bowie - "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" TV on the Radio - "Wolf Like Me" - y dis song so gud, tv on radio? Fields of the Nephilim - "For Her Light" - Goth cowboys FTW Mission UK - "Deliverance" Devin Townsend - "Bad Devil" - I don't know what a "bad double-decker devil" is, but it's gotta be awesome, because Devy is never not awesome. There are a lot more, because I clearly have too much time on my hands, but that's probably enough for now. Whatcha got for me? |

R.E.M. - At My Most Beautiful Mumford And Sons - Lover Of The Light The Who - Baba O'Riley Sarah McLachlan - Ice The Beatles - Hello Goodbye Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers The Eagles - James Dean Leonard Cohen - First We Take Manhattan The Turtles - Elenore The Beach Boys - Don't Go Near The Water and Long Promised Road (bleed into one another deliciously) The Jam - Town Called Malice Stevie Nicks - Crash Into Me Loudon Wainright III - Heaven Mott The Hoople - American Pie/Golden Age Of Rock And Roll Kate Rusby - A Rose In April David Gray - I Think It's Going To Rain Today |

Thanks, guys! I might be a dork (HAH - might?), but it's really cool to see how different everyone's lists are from each other's and how they're the same, too. Also neat to see how genres vary wildly in individual lists.
tilthefirefades - have you ever heard the Krikor Edit of "Goodbye Horses"? It's REALLY good, and another one of those songs where when I hear it, I can't NOT get up and dance around. Except instead of spazzy wombat, I'm all "Oh!" (link NSFW) |
