17 Jul 2010 11:31 pmIt's international femmeslash day!
dw_femslash are holding a round of drabble tag (I wrote some Amy/Zoe and failed utterly at keeping it to 100 words),
gwenmorganabbc are having a prompt fest,
merlin_femslash are having a party and
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!
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.
