Haha, I had about two weeks where THE EXACT SAME THING happened. It's so damn catchy! And I just love that she is this teeny feisty vulgar girl--I <3 Lady Sov.

Wouldn't the chorus be perfect for a Kara vid too? The verses not so much, but I can TOTALLY see some serious Starbuck sass vidded to the chorus ;)

wow that's a ton of songs. I already have a lot of the ones I'm interested in, but here's something for you:

free, legal Chromeo downloads (http://www.freeindie.com/2007/09/chromeo.html)
that site is pretty cool. I also rec Balkan Beat Box (http://www.freeindie.com/2007/04/balkan_beat_box.html).

Oh, music. Yay!! I'm snagging. I recognize a handful of songs on the list and am more than willing to check out the rest. :)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-01-10 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! I hope you enjoy :)

Cool. More stuff here that I don't know than I do. Thanks! Did you ever get more VAST? I think I might download his other stuff from his website if you dont have any. :) And if you do, I'm sure I have something you'd want and we could trade ;)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-01-10 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
I think I have pretty much the whole VAST discography (I found a really awesome torrent a few months ago), that includes a bunch of live stuff and some other EPs and stuff, but I don't really like any of it as much as that first album or Turquoise/Crimson (those were the new ones you got, right?). *sighs*

I'd still be happy to upload any/all of it for you if you're curious though--just lemme know darling :)

[personal profile] nebakanezer 2008-01-15 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
That's too bad that the other stuff isn't as good. Yeah, I bought the Turquoise and Crimson cd's. *g* Someday when you have a free minute I would love to hear more even if it isn't as awesome :)

Did you ever go see him when he came to Austin? I think it might have been when you were getting ready to graduate so maybe you weren't able to.

And congrats on you becoming a mod :)

Sorry it's taken me sooooo long to comment on this fantabulous music share! Mine was just a lazy link-swipe...but YOU made a real effort to share stuff you personally adore. That is LOVE.
