Three additions to the ever-growing library of covers of Hallelujah:

Brandi Carlile
Claire Bowditch
Imogen Heap


Everyone who asked for an icon now has one. Use them or don't, as you see fit, just know that if I do see you using them I'm going to grin most foolishly. :D Now I can close Photoshop and give my poor computer a break while I do the icon drabbles.


I hate being a girl. Just, have to throw that out there every so often and it's about that time. This month, I'm not going to be envious of men, I'm going to be envious of noncorporeal beings.

...I bet it would be pretty nice to be a hyperintelligent shade of the color blue.


Basically, I spent all day making those icons, playing Scrabble on Facebook with sweetxtc666 (I will take any challengers, bring it, I'm serious), and playing around with my UniCreatures, since those came back into my notice in the past 36 hours. (go click the bebehs. do it. for me.) Complete waste of a decent early fall day, but mostly I wasted it by sleeping until 5, so. That's its own issue.

Tomorrow my family is going to the drive-in. Labor Day weekend means four flicks for $7. Not bad, right? Aliens in the Attic, The Time Traveler's Wife, Final Destination, and District 9. So that's three movies I'm mildly interested in, and one good reason to bring my sound-blocking headphones and watch a couple of episodes of True Blood instead of "how many graphic ways can we kill off this set of young actors?"

cause really, fuck that.

Oops, I'm starting to get belligerent. Time to do something else!


oh here, more music. two covers of "You're So Vain":
Faster Pussycat
The Mountain Goats

Because even if only the person I uploaded it for takes it, putting the links here at least gives me the comfortable illusion that the music is going to many good homes.

Hallelujah out the wazoo:

Chris Botti
Damien Rice (Cannonball/Hallelujah)
David Bazan
Jeff Buckley, Acoustic version
The Lost Sea

So, I just went back to the cover blogs I haven't checked in two months and now I have about 200 new-to-me cover songs sitting on my desktop. And I'm still digging back through a couple.

Oh dear. I'm not an addict, I swear.


...but this is a really nice cover of Arcade Fire! Now whenever I hear this song I think WHEN IS WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE COMING OUT AND WHY ISN'T IT NOW?

I really want to see that movie. :3


No sleep again tonight. Probably going to nap at some point but not actually sleep-for-reals and, uh, if I'm lucky I'll be able to wake up for my 9:30 class on Tuesday, and just thank everything good in the world that no Monday class means no 8 am from the other side of the pillow.


.......whoa. It's getting on to the end of 2009. Which means that in December, all of the music that's come out since 2000? Is going to be LAST DECADE'S HITS. I can still hardly cope with the 90s being boxed off, and now... what the fuck are we going to call this decade anyway? I mean, who actually uses 'ought' in the sense of zero? so it can't be the Oughts, but.... oh lol, 2000-2009, the hits of the preteen years.

*headdesk*

YOU GUYS.

KEITH OLBERMANN TOTALLY MST3K'd GLENN BECK.



Somebody get that man a couple of robots!

Yeah, I guess I'm not going to make it to that quadruple feature at the drive in due to equal parts lack of interest and imminent breakdown. Like, some serious minute-to-minute bipolar issues here. I don't know if I want to cry, scream, or obsessively clean my room, but it's a pretty close thing and either way, I'm losing.
