Taking a break on the 30 days meme; I'm struggling a little with lethargy that's stopped me concentrating on my studies (that I meant to start this week) and chores, and every little distraction gets to me.

I hope this is simply due to a lapse in my diet and/or riding the lunar cycle, and not the return of the awful fatigue I suffered most of last year... :(

(I'm awake before 1PM so it's unlikely to be the latter. Still, I worry.)

EDIT: I only woke up for real half an hour ago, at 12:15 PM. SOB

Day 17 - A song that you hear often on the radio

They're so unremarkable I am blanking on a title. :| Apart from a few talky stations the only ones I can get out here (rural Western Australia) are both bland pop, okay for listening to in the background until the dumb-as-bricks hosts come on. And there's the ads. Gawd, the ads stick in my head more than the music does.

IT'S NOT FAIR
YOUR LIFE'S PERFECT
AND SO'S YOUR GARDEN

8B

Fuck it, I'm streaming Triple J!

Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hate

Red Hot Chili Peppers around Californication/By The Way era. I used to really like it, but with the possible exception of Parallel Universe (and Otherside when I'm in the mood) none of it does a thing for me these days.

I'll be interested to hear their new music; the new line-up may shake things up a little.

No embed. I'm running on empty this weekend; just writing the above was a struggle. Gurgle.

Day 15 - A song that describes you

I always link to the same song when I'm asked this question

Here is something different from the same band that is more relevant to my world view these days (I think. I've certainly misheard their lyrics before... Dumb Teenage Me thought Polyester Girl was about 25rq35 times more lurid than it was, and was gravely disappointed when she read the lyrics, if I have to be honest)

Regurgitator - Pretty Girls Swear

Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love

insomuch as anyone expects anything of me...

Slayer - Skeletons of Society

Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure

NO SUCH THING. Youtube bullshit

Day 12 - A song from a band you hate

Gee... uh... There are songs that wind me up and bands I don't see the appeal of, sure, but I have nothing against any band in particular, not even Bieber, ICP and other number-one enemies of Youtube comments.

Have this instead:



This is a genre of music I normally can't get into, but I really dig this.

Happy birthday to meeee *phwweee*

Day 11 - A song from your favorite band

The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets - 20 Minutes of Oxygen



One of my favourites!

Excuse the lack of video; you are not missing anything. Cthulhu haet cat macros.

Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep

Decadance - On And On (Dub Version)



It's very peaceful, in its own way. I'm gonna listen to it now to sooth myself after my browser closed unexpectedly and lost the last half-hour of work *grump*

Day 09 - A song that you can dance to

Midnight Mahina - I Believe

I'll see if I can upload a version of this. It's from a folk (I think!?) band that plays at the Fairbridge Music Festival, which I've been to with a friend a few times. The CD version is pleasant enough, but when played live, everyone is compelled to dance to it. It would be eerie if it weren't so dang nice.

Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to

Toniiight

I'm gonna have myself

a real good time...

Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event

Ugh another one I'm blanking on. This is not really an event, but I'll go with this.



After watching this AMV, I'd sing it to my mum in the car while we were driving places. Little did I know that it got stuck in her head for days every single time. She's threatened to play it at her funeral.

Promise I'll link to something not from my proto-weeaboo days next time.

Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere

Cowboy Bebop OST - The Real Folk Blues



Every time I hear this, or a few other anime ending/opening themes, I'm reminded of hanging out at anime club, waiting eagerly for the next episodes, making a nuisance of ourselves on university grounds, raging at Rurouni Kenshin's cliffhangers... good times, man.

(There may be better songs for this, but they are nowhere to be found on the internet, or didn't seem quite right, or aren't quite as good as I remember...)

Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone

I associate people I know with the music they like, or music they've played to me, on a very general level. Punk (RIP Polly Styrene), Cake, Frank Zappa, orchestral video game music, happy hardcore, Spice Girls, late 90s visual kei... No specific song that really sticks out for anybod--

Actually, I take that back. This one.

Day 04 - A song that makes you sad

Pink Floyd - Time



It took me a while to choose this.

Also: Komm Susser Todd. It's the song I go to when I want to feel like absolute shit. How the fuck is Evangelion 4.44 going to top that?

Day 03 - A song that makes you happy

mazedude - A Boy and His Blob Cyborg Blobby OC ReMix



Be careful listening to this with headphones.

EDIT: LMAO HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT THIS ONE

Day 02 - Your least favorite song

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss

Aarrrrgh! This song makes me want to headbutt the wall until it stops. And hell no, I'm not embedding that shit.

Also: Having to listen to Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl because I couldn't exactly leave the chair with metal jammed in my mouth is one of my least pleasant memories of being at the dentist.

I felt like doing one of these. I was going for the video game meme at first, but it struck me that this meme would be more interesting, for all the reasons I thought I SHOULDN'T do it--namely: I am extremely critical of my taste in music, I only listen to a very limited subset of Stuff, I do not follow bands at all, and I have an outrageous dorky hate-on for music elitists of an intensity I have only seen directed at weeaboos wearing cat ears.

Fun fact: I get really mopey and intolerable when I read a story and it quotes/references music I have not heard of on a frequent basis, because it makes me feel like a pathetic dag for not being more into a medium that pretty much everyone agrees is worthwhile. (Behold: The real reason I don't read The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal)

But this isn't about me being a weenie; it's a music meme!

Day 01 - Your favourite song

Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere



Killer7 OST - Rave On



Sambomaster - Sekai wa Sore o Ai to Yobun da ze



OSU!
