List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. The Divine Comedy - The Booklovers
This song entirely consists of a roll call of various literary geniuses, with their "responses". (Examples: "Emile Zola." "J'accuse!", "Franz Kafka." "WHATDOYOUWANTFROMME?!") with a lovely chorus inserted every 2 minutes or so. I find it fucking hilarious.

2. Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger
I've had this weird thing for Bond themes lately. This particular song appeals to me because it features that great sixties sound, and a woman with a silky voice hitting notes I couldn't possibly dream of. There's also this irresistible hook in the last 15 seconds or so that i'm convinced an entire song could be built around. Wayne and Candice, I'm looking at you.

3. Murray Gold - Doomsday
This is an intensely geeky entry. It's from the last episode of the new Doctor Who's second season. It's perfect walking around at night music, and it reminds me of that episode which makes me intensely melancholy. To quote the show, "Sad is 'happy' for deep people." Plus, cello. Mmm. Cello.

4. Ben Folds - Adelaide
"Adelaide on a plane far from the united states of LA". with that opening lyric, I immediately fell in love with this song, due to my intense hatred of Los Angeles. Like most Ben Folds songs, it's perfect to one of a certain temperament.

5. Liz Phair - Fuck And Run
This is one of those universal "been there" songs. and for those of you that haven't: trust me. It WILL happen.

6. Rufus Wainwright - Slideshow
Oh, Rufus. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Rufus. You have the higher register of a six-year-old boy and the lower register of... well... me. I try to sing Rufus Wainwright songs sometimes. It's actually not to shabby until I get to that inevitable soaring note that I'm convinced sometimes ends in a pitch only dogs can hear.

7. Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To
Franz Ferdinand is this, I guess, seasonal band for me. For some reason I only like them in the summer. And, it's summer now, so I broke out the FF. Clean family fun was then had by all.

having recently redone my profile page, i wondered if it would affect the meme i posted a couple weeks ago. sure enough, it did. rockin'.

first off: happy may day, sinners.

i read this book last week and tonight i learn it's being turned into a film. go figure.



i was kind of hoping i'd get a rabbit, it would explain why i like carrot juice so damn much.


Choke was exactly like Fight Club, except with messianic overtones and anal beads. no, i am not making that up. i followed that up with fat pig and the shape of things, both by neil labute. you want a realistic portrayal of modern love, read fat pig. you want a total mindfuck, read shape of things.


currently reading:

immortality, by milan kundera. that man presents more lessons to live your life by before 9 am than most people do in their entire lives.

fragile things, by neil gaiman. i think gaiman has always shone best with his short story concepts. his style is kind of like a really rich cake- really awesome, but you can indeed get too much of it.

( and now a piece of short fiction )
