Music swap. Because my selection has begun to bore me and I find I'm just skipping past most things on my MP3 player now. Semi the playlist shuffle meme, semi random songs that I've gotten recently/aren't that well known/I've been digging.



Eight Easy Steps -- Alanis Morissette (My life, this one.)
How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment
How to defer to men in solve-able predicaments
How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you
How to have that not work and have them run away from you

Destiny -- Syntax (You may recognize this one from NBC's Law and Order spinoff Conviction--I actually prefer the TV theme arrangement, but this one's still cool.)
How can I change the path that I'm on
This is my Destiny
This is my life, my own right or wrong
Bring it on back to me
How can I say what it is that I want
Wisdom speak to me
Life is sweet, then the moment is gone

Bleed Like Me -- Garbage (The music video for this? Not as hot as the "Androgyny" one, but what ever could be?)
Just try to comprehend that which
You'll never comprehend
Try to comprehend that which
You'll never comprehend

Meet Virginia -- Train (Lovelovelove. This is one of their first ones from way back when.)
She doesn't own a dress
Her hair is always a mess
You catch her stealin', she won't confess
She's beautiful.

Fences -- Paramore (This is oddly. . . that preppy alt. rock for me, but I like it.)
Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walking
I said, let's see you walking

The Girl in 14-G -- (cover) Kristin Chenoweth (I saw her do this live on TV--just google it, it's the first couple of hits--and she's just as amazing at it. Tricks of the recording this is not, she's really that good.)
I'm not one to
Raise my voice
Make a fuss
Or speak my mind
But might I query--
Would you mind if--
Could you kindly
STOP!

Cellophane -- Amanda Ghost (First heard of AG after a different song was used in an ER episode. . . 6 or 7 years ago. Now, she just writes, but a bunch of her stuff is being used lately--some TV show's theme, one of the songs from the new Hairspray, etc.)
Nobody moves me
I've been through this life
With no place that I can call my own
Thinking above me
I never seem to find anybody that can feel like home
And I try and I try and I try

For What It's Worth -- Buffalo Springfield (The quintessential protest song. Old, but still applicable.)
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Drive -- Melissa Ferrick (Melissa Ferrick highly seductive song #1.)
Your mouth waters
Stretched out on my bed
Your fingers are trembling
And your heart is heavy and red
And your head is bent back
And your back is arched
My hand is under there
Holding you up

Shameless -- Ani DiFranco (You know those songs that you associate inseparably with a pairing? CJ/Abbey, from West Wing.)
We're in a room without a door
And I am sure without a doubt
They're gonna wanna know
How we got in here
And they're gonna wanna know
How we plan to get out
. . .
I gotta cover my butt 'cuz I covet
Another man's wife
I got to divide my emotions
Between wrong and right
Then I get to see how close I can get to it
Without giving in
Then I get to rub up against it
Till I break the skin

Taste -- Melissa Ferrick (Melissa Ferrick highly seductive song #2.)
If I could have just a moment of you
Would I be wanting more?
If I could have just a taste of you
Would I be addicted?
If I could have just a touch of you
Could I tear myself away?

All together (because my uploading speed is horrible).

So swap me! Some of you have done posts like this fairly recently, so link me there, email me something good, throw out a couple new ones of your own.

at the moment i don't have time to upload anything (lol sleeping unnecessarily late on the one day i have things to do), but, i recommend all of these songs anyway:

- anything by margot and the nuclear so and so's, especially: skeleton key, barfight revolution, light on a hill and on a freezing chicago street.
- boy with a coin -- iron and wine.
- popular mechanics for lovers -- beulah.
- flame -- bell x1.
- blackout -- lovedrug.


there you go, bb!

YES YES YES TO LIGHT ON A HILL AND BARFIGHT REVOLUTION. Partly because they're the only ones I've heard from those guys, but mostly because they're awesome.

Oh, Bones 2x09. How ilu.

YAYAYAYAYAY I LOVE DOING THIS.
I'm just going to write them in a comment for now, but I'll prolly make an actual post later. I'm not sure how much time I have on here right now.

Don't Fight It -- The Panics (I love that they're from Perth)
Ah, give it up,
Those dirty tricks
No quick fix, can undo it
Ah, give it up
I won't resist
My answer's always this

I said don't fight it,

Cigarette -- Yellowcard (THIS ONE WAS ON HOUSE/AN AD FOR HOUSE ONCE. I actually think it was on an ad for Hunting. That's the only reason I got it, on account of them not normally being a band I enjoy)
Intoxicated the edge is serrated,
So easily torn from the core.
I blushed the first time,
But you blushed the last time
My eyes hit your mind

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room -- John Mayer
We're goin' down
And you can see it too
We're goin down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room


DUDE, I'MMA GIVE YOU SOME AUSTRALIAN MUSIC. Firstly, a couple from the Rogue Traders. Because they make me want to dance, and I used to have a bit of a girlcrush on the lead singer when she was on Neighbours. Watch some of their music videos sometime, you'll see.

Voodoo Child (their first hit)
You're like Voodoo baby,
You just take hold.
Put your cards on the table baby,
Do I twist, do I fold?

We're Coming Home (I used to have this set as my mobile phone alarm, lol)
You know we're fallin' to zero
Hurtin' much more than it did before
I'm always playing the hero
Cleaning your mess as you walk out the door

Untouched -- The Veronicas (I don't usually like their style, either, but I love the music in this song)
I feel so untouched
And I want you so much
That I just can't resist you
It's not enough to say that I miss you

Heartbreaker -- Pink (out of Australians and into awesome)
Are you a heartbreaker?
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm fallin' for a heartbreaker?
And everything is just a lie
I won't be leavin' here alive
I might as well lay down and die

Wasteland -- Augustana
Cause it's 5 o'clock
The hour stops the sunlight
And the buildings shade the masquerade and kill time
Here we're nothing more than fools and whores and sad highs

Angels -- Augustana
Would I fight with an angel?
Would I leave here with you?
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new?

Loose Lips -- Kimya Dawson (I never imagined myself listening to this kind of music, but... then I watched Juno. And it's strangely addictive)
So if you wanna burn yourself remember that I LOVE YOU
And if you wanna cut yourself remember that I LOVE YOU
And if you wanna kill yourself remember that I LOVE YOU
Call me up before you're dead, we can make some plans instead
Send me an IM, I'll be your friend

Phenomena -- Yeah Yeah Yeahs (this song is like, hot. And I'm not sure why)
Something like a phenomena, baby
You're something like a phenomena
Something like a phenomena, baby
You're gonna get your body off

Home -- Michael Buble
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Long Road to Ruin -- Foo Fighters (love the chorus/beat. Especially when it comes on while I'm driving)
The colours change in the valley skies
Dear God I've sealed my fate
Running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

Smoke -- Natalie Imbruglia
Why , bleeding is breathing
You're hiding , underneath the smoke in the room
Try , bleeding is breathing
I saw you falling on the floor

Creep -- Radiohead (You won't know what I mean unless you read the Twilight series, but this... this is my Edward song. But even on its own this song gets to me. I love the guitar -- it's so... painful)
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

Oops, time to go.
