Take a number

[roadrunnertwice]

This has been bouncing around places, so:

You can get one song from my iTunes—pick a number between 1 and 4672.

If it's a podcast or something lame like that, I'll just increment it until I find something real.

ETA: Also, the last 100 or so are j-pop or j-rock of some species or another. So if you don't dig, that's where not to look.

Hmm... I'll use my register ID number from work - 471!

[roadrunnertwice]

You get Björk, and it's one of the creepier ones from her latest.

[roadrunnertwice]

ALSO, that's an aac file. But if you're running winamp 5 instead of winamp 2, you ought to be fine.

[pantswarrior]

Yep, works fine!

...Bjork is so odd. The funny thing about Bjork is that I saw her pop up on MTV sometimes, so I'd heard her music, but I never remembered it because I was so completely distracted by her videos and how trippy-cool they were.

[roadrunnertwice]

Björk is so odd.

Truth be told, I didn't "get" her music until after some rather specific drug experiences. I've actually talked with a lot of other people who had similar Björk learning curves. I dunno; seems unfair to class her as "drug" artist. Maybe she's just that odd. It was an exciting feeling, though, to finally listen to her music and have it click perfectly; unlike pretty much anything else ever. Anyway, yeah: Björk!

Additional funny story: I've been slowly starting to use SoulSeek (user: lulu_zinfandel), and finally turned on my own music as a share. What was the first song anyone downloaded from me? The one I just got from you. I have amazing guess-taste.

Also: man, do I wish MTV still played music videos.

1228

You get Elvis Costello, Watching The Detectives.

[lexicology.livejournal.com]

excellent. :)

[roadrunnertwice]

Yeah, I love that one.

I'll bite. 3

[roadrunnertwice]

13+God - Men of Station. Good aim; it's a bitchin' track, and one of the only ones on that album that I like. (I bought it hoping the whole thing would be as good, but no such luck. Really what I want is just a new Notwist album—to hell with this collaboration thing.)

[livefrommombasa.livejournal.com]

Great great! Thanks. My girlfriend requests 843, but is too lazy to post herself. Think she can beat mine?

[roadrunnertwice]

Shockingly, she does, 'cause it's Corey vs. Corey covering the Katamari Damacy theme song.

Wow, my music collection is coming out of this looking pretty awesome. Watch, though, the next person gets something totally uncool.

Gotta go with 5, 'cause well.... 5. I'm always 5.

[roadrunnertwice]

Bah, that's some 20th Century that I got from Laura; you already have it. And just incrementing it lands you on 50 Cent, and the only 50 Cent I could see you enjoying is that "Q-Unit" mashup. Pick again.

[emmling.livejournal.com]

I've only got one V6 album on my list - musicmind - (I'm really much more of an Arashi and KanJani fangirl) so it is possible I don't have it. And I seem to remember you got her into V6 to begin with, anyway..... ;P

Hmm.... a different number? How about.... 30?

[roadrunnertwice]

Fair 'nuff. But it's still going to be quicker to hit Laura for it; the song was "Bird Cage." Anyway: 30 that gets you A Tribe Called Quest. Only a 2-star-er, but that's all relative; Tribe is the shit.

And hah, I'd forgotten that I'd gotten her into V6! The tables have turned to the point that I tend to assume she's the source for all the Japanese stuff I know about.

(I think we independently discovered console RPGs and Ranma 1/2 at about the same times, though.)

[roadrunnertwice]

I for win at grammar!

[emmling.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thanks. :) And I blame you both as getting me sidetracked enough from my German-stuff to come to this weird-ass country.
