cali (theantimodel) - fun with bullet points and mp3s

fun with bullet points and mp3s

Mar. 7th, 2005 at 6:45 PM

nuregwen has been posting gorgeous gorgeous pictures of many pretty people (including Norman Reedus and Jake Gyllenhaal) at

tinalikesstuff. She deserves much petting and love for that.

celebritease is a constant source of pretty semi-naked celebrities.

I desperately want someone to write NSYNC into the Constantine/Hellblazer universe. God! That would be so cool!

So I read a couple stories by

sarahq today. Foreshadow which was written for the reunion challenge, and Somnambulist which is... guh fucking amazingly detailed and creepy and SO COOL. It's a JC/Justin AU sort of story and dude. How did I now know about this story before? My god it's brilliant.

Also related to popslash, evidently there's a Religious Themed Index which I didn't know about before. Very cool.

Tipping Point is a nice little House/Wilson story.

I updated

anti_recs the other day with some more recs. Uh, it's poorly named but don't let that distract you from the fact that I rec good stories there every so often.

And now, music I've been listening to lately which you should listen to also (right click save):

[ ~~Colin Farrell covering I Fought the Law~~ ] -- I think this is from the Intermission soundtrack.

[ ~~David Usher - Black Black Heart~~ ] -- This song is gorgeous, the melody, and the lyrics. Oh man it's just so well done. ~~I have no clue where I got it though~~ actually I got it from

magician_sakura.

[ ~~Interpol - Slow Hands~~ ] -- Interpol has been categorized in the Snow Patrol/Killers/Franz Ferdinand indie-rock category, they're from New York and all gossip about their attitude and snottiness aside, I like this song.

[ ~~Lenlow - To the Taxmobile!~~ ] -- Found via boing boing: an awesome mashup of The Beatle's Taxman and the Batman theme song.

[ ~~Louis XIV - Finding Out True Love is Blind~~ ] -- Again with the Indie-Rock, they toured with The Killers last summer. This song is fun and danceable, but not particularly inspiring or progressive.

[ ~~Snoop Dogg and Justin Timberlake - Signs~~ ] -- So addicting!

[ ~~The Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict a Riot~~ ] -- Britpop/Indie Rock with a little bit of The Clash thrown in for fun. I really like these guys right now.

[ ~~The Lovemakers - Dance~~ ] -- The Lovemakers are a local band that've been getting some radio play lately, they're hmmm, sort of the female version of the Postal Service possibly, they're very electropop.

[ ~~The Servant - Liquefy~~ ] -- I have no clue where I got this song but I love it.

[ ~~The Streets - Let's Push Things Forward~~ ] -- I heard this song on the radio the other day and then spent two hours hunting the name of the group down because I promptly forgot all the lyrics and the group's name after I heard it. It's a gorgeously interesting blend of UK Garage, underground hip hop at it's best.

Music:The Shins - Turn a Square
Mood: pleased

Is Foreshadow JuC as well?

Snagged the Kaiser Chiefs. Thanks! I've been wanting to check them out for some time now.

Foreshadow is actually Lance/Justin but not too heavy on the slash at all really. Honesltly I'm not so much into Lambfic but the story is great no matter what your pairing preferences. Actually both of them are. Some stories just transcend pairings you know? Not often but when they do it really makes me happy.

I love the Lambs, so I'll read that one. For the most part, I agree that some stories transcend pairings, but I just CANNOT get into JuC! I have no idea why. Lord knows I've tried, but I can never seem to get through a whole story. EVER!

Hmmm, you should think about giving this one a try even if you don't think you'll make it. It's all kinds of weird and good and well, there's this whole thing about Justin disappearing so if you like AU stories it's great.

I downloaded Colin, Snoop & JT, and The Streets.

You are SO FUCKING AWESOME. I have AN IRISH HOTTIE SINGING ON MY COMPUTER because of you. Hooray!

A friend played a The Streets album for me when I was in LA in January, and I loved it a whole hell of a lot.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Again, I say you are fucking awesome!

Bwaahaaahaa! I love that Batman/Taxman thing (now isn't THAT a slash paring destined for greatness). Have you heard John Zorn's version of the batman theme? It too is great.

Downloaded Usher and Snopp song. Which I both love.

I'd like to take this moment to say, I LOVE INTERPOL. Just do. I really want to go see them in Atlanta for spring break. Anyone wanna go?

And gun holster guy is Carlos, and the leg guy (with dark hair) is Daniel.

Yes, Daniel is mighty fine. (one of my favorite pictures of him http://www.sauna.org/monkey/images/interpol-daniel.jpg)

And I know! I heard the song on my friends computer last week, and I was so excited to see you had it up!

There are two popslash stories I know of that are set in the Hellblazer universe, more or less--

synecdochic's Rake at the Gates of Hell, which is long and intense and richly detailed, and my stars, spells, secrets and sorcery, which is shorter and dirtier and plays more loose. Maybe you'd like one of those! *g*

YAY FOR DAVID USHER!!! Whoo! Saw him in concert last year, and he was soooo ~~hot~~ good. Simply amazing. You should d/l more of his stuff with the band Moist. They broke up a while ago, but they're still very very good.

And Colin! *squee!*

I'm glad you like it(he's Canadian*thumbs up*). Sharing music is fun, yo. Which reminds me I downloaded most everything you posted. Am in love with most everyone. And yeah, that Snoop one really is addictive.

I grabbed 5 of the songs. Thank you! In return I would like to give you a few David Usher songs, because I love him too and I had trouble finding stuff of his to dl.

Forest Fire
My Way Out
Unholy, Dirty and Beautiful [live] - this is the first song of his I ever heard, and it's still my favorite. I like the album version too, but I prefer the less-produced-ness (er) of this version. I got it because somebody (I no longer have any idea who) put it up as an excellent Clex song, and whoever they were, they were right - it really, really is. (Caveat: This was around early s2, and I stopped watching the show not long after. It may no longer fit. *g*)

Cool. I like Interpol. And anyone who is compared to the Postal Service is probably up my alley. Thank you!
