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.

2. Hee, I like that song! It's very silly, as am I.
3. Wah, boo hoo.
5. Actually, an LJ friend of mine made icons from stuff she found on art.com, and that was one of them. It's here, if you want to see it. I like that icon because she kinda looks like me.

Now, you.

1. You're one of the most multi-fannish people I know.
2. I got nothing for this.
3. I remember asking you once in chat if it was okay for me to tell people your age, and you said it was fine. And I said, "good, because I usually rec you and then go, 'And omg, she's only TWENTY!' ::flail::". And you said, "Hee!"
4. I told you this in reply to your first comment to me, but here it is again. You posted fic then icons a couple weeks apart, and I saw the icons, went "ooh, pretty!" and thought, "hang on, didn't she just post fic?" So I dug up the link to "Like Some Strange Shadow" and was like, "OOOOOOH, PRETTY." I was impressed at the quality of both. *G*
5. Hee, I think I've asked you everything back in the days of chatting.

Thanks for doing this, it's fun!
