Multimedia: Music, Icons.

[cherry]

There was that 'Seven current favourite songs' meme going around for a bit, but I skipped it as some of my current seven favourite songs were uploaded in other music posts, so this is seven songs I enjoy.

1. You Sound Like Louis Burdett - The Whitlams. This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Energetic bluesy rock. (All my friends are fuck-ups, but they're fun to have around) Which really says it all.

2. Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall. Upbeat folk (rock). (I said/Don't look back, just keep on walking)

3. Jupiter - Gustav Holst. Classical. I have a real soft spot for all of The Planets.

4. The Story - 30 Seconds to Mars. I... don't just like them because I have this thing about Jared Leto. Really. I don't even care if liking them damages my indie cred. Enjoyable techno-rock. A Beautiful Lie may not be one the albums I'd take to a desert island, but it is one I listen to a lot around the house. (I've been thinking of everything/I used to want to be)

5. Santa's Going to Kick Your Ass - The Arrogant Worms. Because it's Christmas season, and this song makes me laugh. Grab it if you like the Worms, Christmas, angry reindeer, or if you haven't heard the Arrogant Worms.

6. Handshake - Metric. I've pimped Metric before. Low-fi indie. (Buy this car to drive to work/Drive to work to pay for this car)

7. Sweet Home Country Grammar - Skynard vs. Nelly. I have only recently discovered Mashups, and this one is probably my favourite. I know, I wouldn't have thought it would work, either.

Let's make this multimedia. Icon linkage as well. 20 Due South icons.

OMG.

"Sweet Home Country Grammar" is about the BEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD. That is friggin' awesome.

ISN'T IT? It makes me smile and dance and it should be terribly, horribly wrong, but it isn't.

Is it okay if I pay it forward on my flist?

(I am so putting it on my walking mix later.)

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no problem. *G* Spread the love. Music is meant for sharing.

(It's on my workout mix on my iPod. It's great for the elliptical.)

Downloaded a few (thanks!), and I have to say: oh my god. Sweet Home Country Grammar makes my LIFE. SO MUCH LOVE.

I KNOW. It's all twangy and dancy and wonderfully wrong.

I just love Arrogant Worms

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

They're great, aren't they? *hums Last Saskatchewan Pirate*

I just wish that they would sell their music in Swedish shops too! :-(

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Well, there's always LimeWire...

ooh, thanks. I've nabbed the ones I didn't have. ;) I've got a feeling you'd like the Waifs - they're sort of indie folk music with a vauge country feel. I'm planning to send some of their stuff your way soon. ;)

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Enjoy, hon.

Also: Mail! Wheee!

Thanks. The Skynnard/Thingo one was .... that song should not have worked, but it did.

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

*giggles* That's what I thought, and that's what I keep hearing from others. The 1-2-Step one is pretty good as well, but it's not as improbable.

What's that one?
