ENGLAND BABY!

Ha. Essex has this 'reputation' that all the girls are dumb blondes who wear high heels and too-tight clothes and sleep with every guy who passes their way.

Damn, I wish this were true ;D

i'm bored with my music, too! i'm staring at my hard drive, all, MY GOD.

Here and here are my posts with the songs I can't get out of my head.

I've been really, really bored with my own music lately, too.

I'm feeling exactly the same right now. I'm bored to death of my own CDs, there's nothing good on the radio, and I'm mostly listening to Pandora, or playing the same three songs on my computer again and again. I'll upload you some songs as soon as possible; at the moment, yousendit seems to hate me.

To tide you over, a song I'm really fond of is "Tanglewood Tree", the soundtrack to my favorite Dead Zone vid, which you can download here, because I don't have it as an audio file.

Do you know Pandora? It's an internet radio station that selects music that's similar to your favorite songs. I love it madly.

Hah! Yousendit is no match to my evil powers of uploading!

... Well, I hope so, anyway. Let me know if these work.

I hope the following help a little with the boredom. I tried to make this a mixed bag, so fopefully there's something there that you like. I am really, really bad at sorting music into categories, so I guess you'll just have to download them and see.

I also have other songs from most of these artists, so if you really like any of them, tell me, and I can put up some more.

I still haven't managed to upload the CD with all my favorite songs to the computer, but I'll probably upload some of those, too, if I ever get around to that.

Iron Maiden: The Mercenary

Like all Iron Maiden songs, this one starts out interesting, and then goes on for two minutes too long until it starts to become unbearably boring and repetitive. I recommend hitting forward in time.

Chris deBurgh: Snows of New York
My all-time favorite song, although part of that is that it's tied up with so many happy memories -- christmas, and the most amazing concert I've ever been to, and good things happening.

Coolio: Gangster's Paradise



Paul Gross: Robert Mackenzie

This one is from the Due South soundtrack. I pretty much loved all the music on the show, but this is my favorite song to one of my favorite episodes.

Apocalyptica: I have no idea what that song is called, actually. The boyfriend likes to describe it as "the one with the wailing", but then, he has no taste.

Guano Apes: Innocent Greed


Gentle Arms of Eden, my current favorite. It's just so… bouncy, and makes me smile every time I hear it.

Do you want some more Iron Maiden? I've got, like, at least 16 of their songs.

Oh, and if you like Iron Maiden, you might also like Linkin Park?

I've been listening to Carbon Leaf and the Jayhawks a lot lately.

Oh, I'm always up for hitting someone with music! Reply to this comment so I remember to upload stuff when I get home from work ^_^

My taste is incredibly eclectic though, so you have been warned! *g*

Alrighty! Here we go.

Jolene, sung by Dolly Parton. Borders on country, but isn't really. I am SO in love with this song, mostly because I first heard it watching an Atlantis music vid about McKay/Shepard, with McKay pleading with 'Jolene' (that Ancient priestess from Sanctuary) to not steal Shepard. LOVE! XD

Jolene version 2, by the White Stripes. The boys did a cover of the song, and it's just as good as the original, which doesn't happen often!

Livin' Next Door to Alice, sung by Smokie, who was a one hit wonder, I think. Kinda old school, but veeery catchy ^_^

Devil in Diguise, by Elvis. Because, really, who doesn't love Elvis?

Back to the House That Love Built, dunno who by. From the Desperado soundtrack, this is a great tune to kick back to.

Better Be Home Soon, by Crowded House. Kinda a gooby song, but it has a great melody.

Bohemian Like You, by Dandy Warholes. Because who doesn't like this song? It's SO catchy, but it's a real feel good one too ^_^ Get your groove on! *g*

Boulevard of Broken Dreams, by Green Day. One of my fav songs of theirs, I just love the sound of the music used in this song :)

Build Me Up Buttercup, by someone who I can't remember. Everyone knows this song though, and it's so much fun to sing along to! :D

Chocolate, by Kylie Monogue. I don't like much of Kylie's stuff, but for some reason, I quite like this one. I get it stuck in my head for days, and suprisingly, I don't feel like killing myself when it happens *g*

Don't Ask Me Why, by Billy Joel. I am not ashamed to admit that I like Billy Joel! This is one of my fav songs of his, so I thought I'd throw it in there ^_^

Dots on the Shells, by Mundaway Yunipingu. This is a truly awesome modern aboriginal song, and I love it lots. Really beautiful.

Gone Away, by the Offspring. Easily my fav song of theirs, this is gloriously melancholy punk rock at its best *g*

<a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=DFAA04400BDB2C73>I Eat Dinner</a>, sung by Rufus Wainright and Dido. This song is so absolutely bizare, but it's sung so beautifully you really don't notice *g* Anyway, that should tide you over for a while - otherwise I'll be here all night! *g*

I just put up a few songs from my favorite new obsession in my lj, and I thought I'd point them out... they got me out of my music blahs, so, maybe they'll do something for you.

here's the link:Arctic Monkeys

Also, they're from the UK, so there! Perfect. *g*

Caitlin, I'm at Mr.c588's on dial up, hence the comment here and not email. Do you know of any good mp3 download sites? Could be pay ones. I need one mp3 of Lou Reed -- and I cannot get it anywhere.
