It's international femmeslash day! [livejournal.com profile] dw_femslash are holding a round of drabble tag (I wrote some Amy/Zoe and failed utterly at keeping it to 100 words), [livejournal.com profile] gwenmorganabbc are having a prompt fest, [livejournal.com profile] merlin_femslash are having a party and [community profile] camelot_fleet have been partying all week. My flist/dwircle is full of femslash! I wish I had more energy/inspiration to write...I also wish I knew why rich text hates me...

1. If you'd like to play along, reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. You then list (and upload or link to the video, if you feel like it) 5 (or 6 or 7) songs that start with that letter.
3. Then, as I'm doing here, you'll post the list to your journal with the instructions. Easy peasy!


[personal profile] birgitriddle gave me the letter 'F'.

1. Faith - Kirsty McGee and the Hobopop Collective

I have a soft spot for these guys, seeing that I did my first proper freelance work in about 6months for them back in January, filming them a Celtic Collections. They pretty much played their new album No.5 right through right now and it was good.

2. Fake Empire - The National

It took me ages to decide if I liked this song or not. I love the album as a whole and I really like the lyrics of this one but something about the melody...I always expect it to go somewhere else (somewhere quite epic actually) and then it doesn't (the drums are deceptive I think), its not the song you think its going to be but once you get past that its a good little tune.

3. Fear and Love - Morcheeba

I always wanted to like Morcheeba, mainly because I love Skye Edward's voice, but I never really could get into them. However this song has always been the exception, something mellow and beautiful (gorgeous strings and muted trumpet) sort of like a more upbeat and hopeful Portishead almost.

4. Fields of Fire - Big Country

This song is absolutely hellish to play on vinyl, the copy we have at the radio station sometimes skips at the start and the way the riff goes at the beginning means I can never tell whether its skipping or not until its too late. Good song though.

5. Floating in the Forth - Frightened Rabbit

Probably my favourite Frightened Rabbit song. It's the last track off their Midnight Organ Fight album (an album that can best be described as being about the bitter, angry, miserable ends of relationships) its such a hopeful, uplifting track after all the rage and misery that's gone before. It's sort of a song about suicide but really its a song about loss and hope.

"You'll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It'll burn us both. It'll kill us both. There's no place in this world for our kind of fire. Always and never. If I have to die for you tonight, I will."

Rimmer: "Kryten, it's called a hangover, don't panic."
Lister: "We're on a mining ship, three million years into deep space... can someone explain to me where the smeg I got this traffic cone?"

"You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."
- Breakfast at Tiffany's

"Love is merely an emotional adaptation to a purely physical need."

"It's supposed to be ironic."
- Donnie Darko

"Smell is the most powerful memory trigger there is. A certain flower or a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell - musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer has no texture, no context. It's there and then it's gone. If it's to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be smelly."
- Giles, BTVS

Creativity is... viewing the world from a different angle. Taking things from everyday life that otherwise might seem mundane and go un-noticed, and turning them into something beautiful. Finding beauty where there seems to be none and changing the perceptions of others so they can see that beauty too. Making something out of seemingly nothing...

"They have not wanted Peace at all; they have wanted to be spared war -- as though the absence of war was the same as peace."
- Dorothy Thompson

"Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free."
- Dalai Lama

"First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me."
- Pastor Martin Niemöller

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
- Maya Angelou
