Monday, 9:32 pm in Music

That’s right, in the tradition of Half-Naked Thursday and Wordless Wednesday I’ve decided to do my very own blog meme.  I’ve got no idea if it’s been done before, but who cares!  So I hereby present to you; Music Monday.

The point of Music Monday is simple; post five of your current favourite songs for other people to download and enjoy.  It’s musical, it’s piratical, it’s a veritable Pirates of Penzance.

So here, in no particular order, I present to you Dee’s first official Music Monday:

Annbjørg Lien, “Loki”
Folk-electronica piece I got off the lokeans LiveJournal community (see, they’re good for something after all).  Very hauntingly beautiful ambient sound.

Crush, “Jellyhead”
Big deal what a thrill what a let down
Kissing in your car
When I should have been out
I want the Prodigy really loud
I want it all right now
I have vague memories of this being some kind of Top 40 song back when poppy club music like this was cool.  Nevertheless, it’s one of my favourite driving songs.

Gavin Friday, “You, Me and World War Three”
We’re A to B and back again,
a sort of funky electrocution,
trigger happy and shoot to kill,
what a honeymoon in hell
I’m pretty sure I’ve uploaded this one before, but oh well.  Nice emoish goth crooning very much in the style of The Cure.  I really think I’m giving these terrible write-ups…

Razing Eden, “Down”
A side-project of my very first industrial/EBM/whatever band, LUXT.  For those of you who’ve never had the pleasure of this genre (which I’m guessing is most of you), it’s kind of a heavy electronic rock.  I guess it’s closest mainstream equivalent is Marilyn Manson (though I’m sure someone will come stab me in my sleep for saying so).

Shiina Ringo, “Sigma”
You say I betray you
that I’m always changing
When all I really do
is not stay true to your illusions
Shiina Ringo is occasionally (and, in my opinion, unfairly) pidgeonholed as Japan’s Alanis Morisette, mostly due to the quality of her voice which you really just have to listen to.  Oddly for this kind of jPop, she’s singing in English, so you’ll have to excuse the, erm, eccentricities of her lyrics.  The sound is… angry Japanese bubblegum kawaii.  No really, I’ve got no other words for it.

And that’s it for today! See you all again next week (assuming I remember)…
