Darling [livejournal.com profile] zeplum is looking for music for two transcontinental flights; if you'd like to offer her something new to listen to, you should visit her here. I find the term 'transcontinental' an interesting one. It's not a word one hears often in Australia; flying coast to coast is more "going east" or "going west." We do get to use the word 'antipodes,' though, which is nice.

For the aforementioned K, six songs I like to listen to in the car:
The Chariot - The Cat Empire
Beautiful to Me - Little Birdy
Let's Replace the Cityscapes - The Triangles
My Moon My Man - Feist
Bring Me Some Water - Melissa Etheridge
Greg! The Stop Sign! - TISM

Embarrassingly, with many mistakes (sorry, [livejournal.com profile] penknife!), I updated [livejournal.com profile] unproductive with 14 x PotC:AWE recs.

Relatedly, Rawles talks about THE CURSE here.

Speaking of embarrassing, today at work I shared my disgusting secret: my love of Jay Chou. So few of you understand how embarrassing my love for Jay Chou is, but my workmates understood my embarrassment! It was awesome (and also embarrassing) (but I love Jay Chou).

The dissonance of this is amazing: Petrelli's 11.

In case you haven't caught it yet, Don't Stop Now, the new Crowded House single. The new album (due out June 30) is okay, our usual channels having yielded it three weeks early. I don't suggest anyone pirate it, though, unless they also intend to buy it, as we do. >:o| I really like 'Silent House.'

This icon is the only pirate-icon that I have.

Right now, I'm doing something that I HATE doing. Hate hate hate. So I'm not going to talk about it. Instead, I'm going to make a quick post about something I do like: MY TAGS. I finished them yesterday.

My favourites are: "a list of pleasurable things" (because, hello, it's a list of pleasurable things); "chloe and lex will take over the world" (because, HELLO, THEY WILL OMFG OTP); and "the ancient and most noble house of blac" (because there should be a 'k' in there, but the tag is too long!).

Okay. Back to the hateful task. BYE ALL.

At least we are listening to Crowded House. You should all know that, after Spliz Enz broke up, Neil was in a pub in NZ and this American girl came up to him and started talking and told him how Split Enz really helped: all her friends committed suicide and her parents broke up and it was a horrible time, and Split Enz saved her. Later, when Crowded House formed, Neil wrote a song called Mean To Me, the opening lines of which are "she came all the way from america / had a blind date with destiny / and the sound of te awamutu / had a truly sacred ring / now her parents are divorced / and her friend’s committing suicide." So she wrote him a letter and told him how much he sucked.

And that is my favourite Crowded House story ever.
