How amazing it feels just to live again

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

[livejournal.com profile] autobearography gave me B!

1. Believe! - Empires. She's gonna fall from me / And the wind's gonna catch her
One of my favorites off Howl. I couldn't exactly say why, just yet, but I love it.

2. Break the Sky - The Hush Sound. I'll break the sky / for you and I are going nowhere / kiss goodbye / a dozen times before we get there
Just a beautiful song, one of the best examples of Greta's smoky new sound. Mmm.

3. Burn, Burn - Lostprophets. Burn burn the station / (burn it down) / Burn burn the truth / (enjoy the flames) / In celebration / (burn it down) / For us, for them, for you
This is easily one of their best songs, just an awesome straight up rock song, driving and energetic. It always gets my blood pumping. I've gotten completely addicted to these guys, so you should download this song and then ask me for the rest of the album when you love it :D

4. Blue and Yellow - The Used. It's a feeling that you cannot miss / And it burns a hole through everyone that feels it
The Used is a very odd band, I find, with songs that verge on the absurd (Liar, Liar), lots of frenzied awesome rock, and then these... ballads. But I love it all, and this is one of their prettiest songs. Easily my favorite off of the first album.

5. Beauty Bar - Justin King. It feels like walking in a sleepless dream / Oh my feet touched just above the ground
If you download any of these, please make it this one. Justin King is a fantastic guitarist/singer/songwriter, and I fell for him when [livejournal.com profile] darksylvia started talking about him. I got to see him play live back in PA and WOW. He and his band are just fucking phenomenal. You should also listen to this and then ask me for the rest. I haven't been keeping up with him, so as far as I know he has one EP and one demo, but they're both fantastic. This is off the demo, actually. And I love it.

Can exams be over now?

Greta & the Hushies = so fucking awesome! I swear, I could listen to her all day!

I was actually trying to listen to Empires today but Landon was making rude commentary the entire time (he claims to hate my music but get upsets when I don't bring mix cds in to work with me) so I need to listen to them alone to decide what I like best about them.

I'm snagging the Justin King song. '

and I wanna play! Letter me, baby! *g*

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2008-05-28 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
I really really could too, and I have! So much love for those Hushies. I can't wait to see them TWICE in August :D :D

Aww, boo. Yes you need to give yourself some Empires time :D

Sweet! Justin King = amazing. Here's the rest of his stuff, if you're so inclined!

Have an... L!

Took most of these, and I'm loving them, so thanks!

You should also listen to [Justin King] and then ask me for the rest. Well, I'm asking. *g*

Oh, and can I play too?

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2008-05-28 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh you're welcome! May I ask which ones particularly you enjoyed? I love talking about music :D

Hee, yay! Here are his EP and demo, 9 songs total, and they're just gorgeous. Justin King!
