3 Things

[cherry]

First: It's been a while, so music uploads. I am as eclectic as always.
1. If I Wrote You (Live) - Dar Williams. How much do I love Dar? Enough that this is the third consecutive set of mp3s that include a song by her. Melodic. Gorgeous voice, lyrics, instrumentals.
2. XO - Fallout Boy. Ish music. Indie(ish) rock. Upbeat(ish).
3. Radio/Video - System of a Down. I was suspicious of the new SoaD album, too. BYOB (the first single) didn't really grab me. The rest of the album, which I bummed off my brother, is very, very good. Experimental metal.
4. Somebody More Like You - Nickel Creek. A modern acoustic trio, with a guitar, a violin, and a mandolin pulled together into a rich, deep sound.
5. Hello - Poe. One of my favourite female vocalists. Haunting.
6. How to Explain - The Cat Empire. Fusion music. Swing/rock/jazz/dance. I adore them, and I recommend giving them a try -- if you don't like them, you don't like them, but I think they're a real treat.

I was going to stop there, but then I realized that Metric is coming through town on Monday, and I get to see them live again (so much love! Last time, they were through with Billy Talent.)
Bonus: 7. Wet Blanket - Metric. Low-fi indie. Great vocals. They grow on you like fungi. (Saying I'm wrong/To want more than a folk song)


Second: 20 Doctor Who icons.



The Doctor is in...


Third: Nabbed from brooklinegirl, who had the bright idea to take out the silly questions and the part ordering people around. If you want to post this in your LJ, too, that's cool. If not, also cool.

Comment and:
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
4. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
5. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.

I really like Fall Out Boy. I don't know why, when I stop to think about it, but I do. Under the Cork Tree is a solid album. I'm afraid I haven't heard Coheed an Cabria -- I take it they're worth checking out?

Also, can I get back to you tomorrow morning on the meme? I have to write a resume and cover letter and CACEE form before bed tonight, and it's already 11:30. I'm kinda dumb that way.

The guy at work who plays Fall Out Boy also plays Coheed, so they're kind of linked in my mind. Both very interesting.

And of course, no rush on the meme - it is a meme, after all. Good luck on the resume and stuff.

Oh, I know, but there are some people who are *touchy* about their memes. Boggles the mind.

1. I'm still adjusting to the rename of your LJ. It takes me a couple of seconds to adjust and realize who you are.
2. Basement Apartment, Sarah Harmer
3. I have to stop loving them, because they all DIE. And are IGNORED. And no one writes me stories about them.
4. You took the time to email me back when I dropped a comment on ff.net to a Sean/Emma Christmas piece you wrote.
5. Where on the Kinsey scale do you fall?

5. By which I meant: Do you agree with it? Do you agree with it, or do you think sexuality is a social construct, or do you think that aliens at Kinsey's brain, or?
