Emergency Daily Entertainment Day 2 : The Bethan Version

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

What are you listening to right now? What should everyone else be listening to?

And what colour(s) should I paint my nails?







ETA: Off out now for a couple of hours. Talk amongst yourselves!

So, uh, 'a couple of hours' kinda turned into seven. And a half. Whups. Was partly my fault, and partly not. Ah well!

*settles back down to answering comments*

YOUR ICON IS LOVE!

Okay, very quickly before I go to dinner - I am listening to the Passion of Christ soundtrack. No intention of seeing the movie for any number of reasons, but the soundtrack is pretty damn kickass.

And...*thinks* Hmm. Violet, lets say.

Ooh, I actually have that colour. Well, purple, it's a little closer to indigo than violet, really.

[ostro_goth]

I'm listening to the building site next door, and to my cat trying to tell me that the wet food I gave him today isn't really to his liking, and I shouldn't buy it again. As for music recommendations: I'm into all sorts of odd folksy/medieval crossover thinggies at the moment, from Jethro Tull to Korpiklaani.

As for the nail colour, I feel nails are best painted pale this summer. Pale pink to non-opaque white.

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

Hmm, now I'm wondering if I shouldn't go a bit Italian Job and have them painted red, white and blue...

*pets the kitty* I miss my Smudgecat. D: But we're probably going to try to sneak cats past our landlord next year...

am to bed, but: ORANGE

I'm listening to people yell as the dog gets hyperactive and tries to literally walk all over them. It's remarkably therapeutic. For me, not them.

[mycursedface]

Aw, puppy.

[innerbrat]

my 'recently added' playlist, which includes: a bunch of covers I'm not yet enamoured of (there might be some good ones) and Black Sabbath/Ozzy live albums. I was compiling versions of Iron Man from my flatmate's music collection.

Each one a different colour.

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

I've got a Catatonia soundtrack on quite quietly, and mostly I have the housemates being housematey. So there's a beat thumping somewhere upstairs, and someone's making a lot of noise in the kitchen. *eyes them*

If we have another fire alarm there'll be trouble. *still grumpy after the 5am one*

[sdelmonte]

The last thing I listened to is the news. Before that, the Mets game last night. There are times when I am not particularly musically minded. And I am the last person who can or should make recommendations, being cheerfully out of touch with the contemporary music scene.

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

Pfft, contemporary.

*is a Beatles-loving, Simon and Garfunkel-bopping nineteen year old*

[herdivineshadow]

Right now? Nothing, but the tap tap tapping of someone typing in the other room.

It's kind of nice.


Paint them sparkly.

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

I am addicted to shiny things... *muses*

I wonder where the hell my silver nailpolish got to.

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

Let's see -- recently I purchased "Green Cosmos" by Deerhoof, "Venus on Earth" by Dengue Fever, "Serial Girlfriend" by Holly Golightly, and "A Few Steps More" by Monade.

Yep.

[moriendi.livejournal.com]

Miss Piggy as Holly Golightly!





Eeee.

*listens to the hum of the fiche room computers*

Music-wise, I've been binging on System of a Down from my iPod recently.

...mainly so I don't fall asleep on my train home.

Also, I agree with the purple nails suggestion.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

I must admit, I've been listening to a bit of Scars on Broadway of late. Embarrassedly.

[wakeupnew]

I am listening to the hum of computers/printers/lots of voices right now, because I am training someone and can't listen to my iPod. D: (She is away from the desk at the moment. :D!!!) But I am listening obsessively to the Iron Man soundtrack; I haven't taken it out of the car since I burned it to CD. SO. BADASS.

Worst driving soundtrack ever, because I just stomp on the gas, but still!

[wakeupnew]

P.S. - Green, Bethan, green!

[camwyn]

"Throwing Stones", by the Grateful Dead. I leave my iPod on random shuffle most of the day, so it bounces through about seven hundred songs. Small collection compared to a lot of people, but it's enough to make me happy.

I'd say go for sparkly light green. I'm big on sparkly.

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

I've only got about five hundred on my iPod. (She is bright blue and called Squee. *pets her*)

Need more. Lots more. D:

[agonistes]

Listening to the bootleg of this. Soon I will be listening to the bootleg of the following evening. They are BEST. <33333

When I am not listening to Wilco (it happens! for srs!) John Doe's A Year in the Wilderness has been on pretty steady rotation in the car.

[agonistes]

Also: cornflower blue.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

I'm listening to SPACEAPE, who will clean your effin' SKULL.

What else. Er. The sound of the tea kettle freaking out, Misanthrop, Gutter Twins, Kode 9, Telemetrik, and, oddly, Blood Red Shoes. That's what I've listened to since I woke up twenty five minutes ago.

Toes? Anything goes, baby. I like a nice soft coral for the toes in summer.

Edit: Oh, and I had to pull out some X Japan since they just did reunion gigs in Japan. I wonder if Sugizo dyed his hair pink for the event, since he was playing in hide's stead.

[sophistry]

My current playlist is pretty heavy on the Hairspray FCR and Ai Otsuka (peppy j-pop).

...What? Exams are coming, and I need music that bullies my brain out of O NOES mode through sheer force of upbeat...ness.

[sophistry]

Also, OBVIOUSLY, the Big Gay Boat Soundtrack. I am always listening to the Big Gay Boat Soundtrack.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Been listening to Preston and Steve's Morning show on WMMR, a show based out of Philadelphia, but about to switch over to University of Pennsylvania's station since they do a good mix of music you normally wouldn't hear.

I'll pass along what I mentioned in chat last night, people should get a hold of some of Julian Lennon's music. He's a talented artist in his own right.

Also Kate Bush and since I just bolstered my collection of hers, Loreena McKennitt.

nail color, hmmm metallic blue?

[averyhasagun.livejournal.com]

I recommend, on a completely unbiased note, the Zodiac soundtracks. Either one is good -- the one by David Shire, or the one with the old pop songs that can be heard on the radio throughout the movie.

And, umm... Fountains of Wayne.

I also endorse the Iron Man soundtrack.

[adiva_calandia]

Jonathan Coulton, at the moment. I changed my Facebook status last night to "I feel fantastic, and I've never felt as good as how I do right now except for maybe . . ." and two different people have gone "WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY???"

[roger-ratcliff.livejournal.com]

I have been listening to (http://www.anonym.to/?http://www.mediafire.com/?tns1jvljdcz) canon (http://www.anonym.to/?http://www.mediafire.com/?o9brhmj0jo3).

If you want it, change .abc to .zip when you download it.

[coffeeshopnight.livejournal.com]

DUDE I JUST GOT THIS.

*loves on*

[misslucyjane]

My iPod on shuffle, so it's everything from one-hit wonders of the 90s to Chet Baker. Sister Hazel, right this very second.

I like classic fire-engine red, myself. Or black. Of course, I think the last time I painted my nails was my sister's wedding eight years ago.

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

I tend to stay away from red, because it's what my mother always uses.

Admittedly, I'm sure it's not normal for mothers to steal their daughters' make-up.

Isn't it supposed to go the other way round?

It's oooonlyyyyy teeeeenaaaaage wastelaaaand!

[newredshoes]

I have "Baba O'Reily" by The Who stuck in my head like you wouldn't believe.

Re: It's oooonlyyyyy teeeeenaaaaage wastelaaaand!

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

Rock. I love The Who. Saw them once, and they won at all things ever.

I tend to listen to them when writing for Molly, because her canon nods to them quite a lot.

[ex_amurderofcrows752]

I recently replaced my stolen iPod (which was snatched 3 days before my birthday, but not replaced until after my vacation due to money concerns) and right now I am listen to Wolfstone off it. It is the Year of the Dog album, and currently playing is Morag's Reel.

They're a good little celt-rock band. I like them.

[genarti]

What I am listening to: people talking in the hallways.

What I want to be listening to, and thus you should for me: Antje Duvekot. Or Vienna Teng or Dar Williams, but Antje's song "Anna" is what's running through my head at the moment.

You should paint your nails something sparkly! So should I, one of these days. Hrm.

[coffeeshopnight.livejournal.com]

Read My Mind (http://youtube.com/watch?v=3Oec8RuwVVs) by the Killers, and Better (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZxJDy9vxyqo) by Tom Baxter.

:)

[wakeupnew]

... ICON. WHAT.

(Also, I love "Better," so hard.)

[spiffynamehere.livejournal.com]

I'm listening to the Spizzwinks(?) sing "She Will Be Loved", but I have Emily Deschanel's version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" running through my head.

BLUUUUUE.

[wakeupnew]

I have Emily Deschanel's version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" running through my head.

HAHAHAHA YES!!! Last night's episode blew my mind!

[eirenikos]

Uh, my playlist is currently loaded with Oysterband, Cats Laughing and Cher.

International orange nail polish. Because summer colors should be bright and obnoxious.
