I'd like to add in a (semi) regular reminder to new and old friends that I have a downloads filter (somewhat inactive of late) and if you'd like to be on it please leave a comment over here in this entry.
I've been really, really bored with my own music lately, too. Things I have a hankering for: oh god, anything! Seriously, anything, what are you guys listening to on repeat all the time right now? I'm just not really into anything I've got already. Send me stuff!
I love John Stewart a whole bunch. He takes on Reagan's Secretary for Education and talks about the gay marriage debate. "Divorce is not caused because 50% of all marriages end in gayness" omg. *hearts*
I have been putting off on posting about this because none of the details are very certain, but they're getting more solid now, so. Attention friends in England: it looks like I will be coming for a visit in September/October. One of my friends is planning a two month trip around Europe and asked me to come with. As it stands now I'll be flying into Paris sometime on September 6th and traveling around with her until the 23rd when her boyfriend comes to visit. From there I'm on my own until October 11th. I'm planning on spending a week or so in Ireland with my family but I also want to hit up England as well. The dates would be sometime between September 23rd and October 11th. I'd love to see you guys if possible, so if any of you will be around, and would, perhaps be interested in hosting me for a day or two, do let me know. Alternatively, if you just want to see me and can't put me up, that's fine too!
In there interests of trying to figure out whether I should go to Ireland first or second, here's a poll:

... 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.
