laliandraI know I only posted yesterday but I hear that leaving it weeks between LJ posts is not actually mandatory. Who knew?!
I, er, have been tempted into doing this.
THE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MEME
Things are, well, I'm not going to sob story or guilt you into saying something there, but Not Great pretty much sums it up. My thread lives HERE. This is a first for anything like this for me!
I've been listening in an usually obsessive way to a bunch of fanmixes and mixtapes (I say mixtapes, they're mostly CDs or downloaded folders because this is the modern way) recently, and I've been thinking about how much I love mixes. Music is such a big part of everything I do and am, plus I live with a music obsessive. You know, the type who owns a record player *g*. So, I thought I'd offer mixes. Do you want me to make you a mix? Any kind of theme you like, any stupid thing, happy songs or songs for summer or songs with sad lyrics and happy melodies or ANY OLD THING. We have a lot of music in this house. You can tell me the kind of music you do/don't like if you want or live dangerous. I like to share *busts those only child stereotypes*
Just leave a request in comments!
And finally! I went to see Attack The Block today and it was awesome! I am not sure how to describe it - apart from chavs versus aliens which is sort of accurate but sort of not - but it was a really great movie, funny and sharp and just the right side of scary. Which for me is "sometimes suspenseful but mostly not too traumatic". I am bad with horror movies. Anyway, I think you should all go see it because it's a strangely beautiful film, for all that it's set on a council estate in Shouth London, and has a weirdly positive message. Plus it was written and directed by a guy called Joe Cornish who is one of those fanboy-made-it-big types. He's one of us!

I could make you an OST mix in return (I have so many OSTs it's ridic. Seriously. Like nearly 34 gig worth) so you could name a theme and I could tootle around and try and give you something interesting?

Date: 2011-05-15 11:12 pm (UTC)Oo, I don't know. I am so bad at picking things for myself. Um, maybe a Good Mood For Writing playlist, I really need it at the moment!

Date: 2011-05-14 09:42 am (UTC)Fanmixes are filling my heart with joy right now, I am very sad that Polly is virus-ridden and that I can't access any of the many I have downloaded recently right now. :( Music is the awesomest, I cannot survive without it filling my day for at least a few hours. So I would ask for a mix but as I'm borrowing my flatmate's laptop I wouldn't be able to play it for a while, which would make me sad. So thank you very much for the offer but I cannot take you up on it. :( Unless my antivirus finally deletes this stupid trojan properly anyway.
That film sounds fabulous! I have pas de free time what with exams and stuff, but if it's still on in three weeks I will go and see it! :D Glad you had such fun seeing it!
Love love love you my beautiful and amazing Lal! <3

more bear snuggles for you!
Date: 2011-05-15 07:56 pm (UTC)That is so sad! Poor Polly. You could tell me something that you would like for now and I can get on with making it and then give it to you when you are trojan free?
I haven't been to the cinema in so, so long and I had such a good time. We mostly went because Nat has massive hearteyes for Joe Cornish and his radio show (the Adam and Joe Show ftw) but I ended up loving the movie.
Love you, Hannalannalissa.

Date: 2011-05-14 11:34 am (UTC)I've only ever had one mix tape in my life, and it was a beautiful mix tape, but, erm, it was from the ex. And I threw it away after she left me because it was too painful to listen to any more. And a mix tape from you would be awesome.
[/sob story]
I don't like music where there is no actual singing, ie rap, or a lot of the pop that's out there. I do like rock (and apparently also metal, but I think that's people mis-labelling heavier rock as metal, myself), and a good handful of the Glee songs, and songs from Wicked, and the Buffy musical, and the Halo and Mass Effect theme musics, and I shall shut up now ^_^
Also that film sounds epic ^_^

So far your mix is some crazy pick and mix thing of randomness so I hope that you will like the end product.

Date: 2011-05-14 11:52 am (UTC)Also, I would love a mix. Of, um, happy music? Yay happiness! I feel like too much of my music is sad/depressed/heart-breaking.

Date: 2011-05-15 07:51 pm (UTC)aaaahhhhh yay music mixes. In truth I really just want to steal everyone else's and glomp onto the happiness train (moo ha ha haaaaa), but I shall demand one of my own! I myself have terrible names for my playlists (Songs To Die In the Street In the Rain To being one of them)
Herm. This is hard. How about... cooking music! This theme is hard to pin down, but what kind of music would you listen to while making dinner, dancing around the kitchen in the evening using the stirstick as a microphone?
no subject
Date: 2011-05-15 08:16 pm (UTC)YAY MUSIC! I will be linking to the ones I finish, (Indecision? http://www.mediafire.com/?5jrlzoorr2lh29r I think you will like the name *G*) so you are more than welcome to steal. I have so many stupidly named playlists too!
Oo, that is a great theme. I know just the kind of thing... Also we should have our Watching Partay sooooon

Date: 2011-05-17 03:31 pm (UTC)Oooooh music! I've been thinking about this the past few days where I have failed to reply here in a timely manner and still have no Great Idea what to wish for ...except hmmmm-- a mix of your ALL TIME FAVORITEST songs? Like ones that you can still listen to and find A++, even after years. Also uh, if you by any chance have some of the most recent Darren on Glee songs besides Candles/Misery/Raise your Glass I would not say no *bats eyelashes winsomely*.
PS This is embarrassing to me to admit ergo the strike through: do you have Katy Perry's "E.T"? I am ashamed to admit that it is ridic catchy and I do love me some Yeezy in a songI have only heard good things about Attack the Block, though the chances of it showing here are pretty low I guess, SIGHHHH.

Date: 2011-05-27 04:25 pm (UTC)http://www.mediafire.com/?l3nx6j93cwlhnfl There you are my love! Enjoy, remember that you are awesome, also I would suggest the Unapologetically Happy mix I made for Jen, at least half of those are songs I would put on this playlist but I wasn't sure if you already had it and I didn't want to repeat :)
