What are you listening to right now?
I think my favorite band is The Sounds. I've been listening to them since 2002 when i first heard them and i've played stuff from all four of their albums for the past eleven years. I've seen them live three times and i kissed the singer's hand one year during a song. Anyway, that's what i'm listening to right now.
Confirming my questionable music taste:
I know this song is supposed to be horrible, but why do I still love it so much?
Have you guys heard of Angel Haze? She's been around for two years or so but I only just heard about her today in The Guardian.
Five years ago, she escaped from a religious cult where music was banned. She is now an award-winning rapper, identifying herself as pansexual. Her first song she posted online was a version of Eminem's Cleaning Out the Closet, where she raps about being sexually abused under the age of 10.
I'm not sure she's really my cup of tea, but it's refreshing to hear someone being so candid about their life experiences:
Quite like her t.A.T.u cover though:
The Guardian interview with her is here.
I heard her song on Pandora. I thought it was kind of cool and crazy-sounding.
I know this song is supposed to be horrible, but why do I still love it so much?
When you figure out why you love it, let me know. It's probably the same reason I'm currently downloading it.

So listening to that kind of like getting punched in the chest.
Yes, I wouldn't call it pleasurable...

Hehe. I think I love it because it makes me want to dance like crazy. I love to dance.
Tool, somehow I've weaved my way over to listening to the right now.
That One Guy
I saw him live once a couple years ago.
Bob Marley of course. Haven't stopped listening to reggae for weeks now.
also this one
Is is physically possible to not love the Pixies?
Surfer Rosa arguably best. All good stuff.
My oldest daughter introduced me to Los Campesinos a long time ago, good ear.
You have two girls??
It's the only Romanian song I know the words to. If we ever meet, we are going to drown in margaritas, and sing this at the top of our lungs at Karaoke. 
Oh yeah, I have 2. The other one is going off to medical school this fall. Big age difference.
You definitely look much younger then.
SEMA HAS A GROWN DAUGHTER WHAT
Yes, tell us more!
Justice - Civilization
Yay! Justice!
Um, yeah I keep trying to get her to be a pharmacist or head nurse. Something that sane people do. Too much pressure on my baby girl. But she insists that it's all good. But, uh huh I'm old as air. Probably the exact age as Tuffy or older.
Is Alecia a nurse? That avatar is throwing me off, if not.
Haha... you called Tuffy a contemporary of air.
Anyway, it's cool that she's going to med school. I'm sure she'll do great.
And I think Alecia just likes One Flew Over the Cockoo's Nest.
Cockoo lol.
I love that one.
I remember Ludwig posted the Jacques Brel version version of that. Since then, it is without a doubt the most outrageously sad song I know. But beautiful.
I probably shouldn't listen to it while watching my dancing dick gif though. Again.

The funny Colombian is right. I just really like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Plus I only change avatars and signature once every five years or so.
Shortly after waking up thinking about love Jango played:
Coldplay- The Scientist
Bon Iver- Skinny Love
Snow Patrol- You Could Be Happy
Those artists rarely get played on any of the stations I listen to so having those songs back to back right after writing this long ass message last night and having read his response this morning about love just eh. I almost cried.
Seriously though this song:
That's a great movie and book. I love the big Native American.
One of my favorites of all time, and I love so much that you know and like it.
You guys, Sema has mentioned her older daughter more than once and even posted pictures of her.
Pay Attention!
Don't tell me that girl in her wedding picture was her daughter! I was sure it was a sister or something.
Also, you sigged me!
You'll have to ask her, but I am pretty sure it was.
Yes. I sigged you. It was necessary.
Did you know I do not have a single wedding picture?
Now I know. Why don't you? You didn't want to, or it just happened that way? Was Lily in the world back then?
I was eight months pregnant with Zachariah (Lily wouldn't come for a few more years) and it was a rushed (pressured to get it done already before another child was born out of wedlock, by my grandma) elopement.
Our guests were Gabriel and Trevor, James' (then) fourteen year old brother, James' dad and stepmom (who his dad was separated from, and who both served as witnesses) and some guy we didn't know that his step mom brought along.
James' ring was a piece of costume jewelry that looked like a fake knock off of something someone in Goodfella's would have worn. Only ring we had that fit him, a ring that was found and hung around in our stuff for a couple years until it served that purpose that day. I wore a long black velvet skirt and a gross baby pink cardigan, only nice top I had that fit me. The judge went back nd forth between giving James approving sorrowful looks and me disgusted ones the whole ceremony. I shook through the whole thing while he was calm as could be. I remember every word of his vows to me, but cannot remember giving mine, I remember giving them, but there is no sound to the memory. Some pictures were taken by his step mom, but the film was lost. We didn't consummate it for almost a week, not my choice. Our only gift was a small bouquet of flowers in a ceramic teapot sent by my grandma a week later. We didn't tell anyone unless it came up in conversation. Some family members didn't know for over a year.
How is that for sad?
Anyway, that all makes it sound like I wouldn't have married him, which isn't true. It is just the way it happened was far less than ideal.
This version, specific, of this song tears me apart in regard to him:
Yes Irina, that's my oldest daughter in the picture with us. She does seems like a younger sister and daughter. We both feel that way. But she also definitely my heart.
Amber, a woman is most beautiful when she was pregnant. You must have been a lovely bride.
I wanted to wear pink on my wedding, but couldn't find anything.
Oh, I've got some happy news. Going to hooray it now.
Amber, it only sounds sad if it was sad for you. I've learned that even the largest weddings can suck (okay, learned is an overstatement, I've read stories).
Wow, Sema. And I remember I wanted to ask you who the other lady was. Congrats.
Great song, Glass in the Trees by Dead Poetic.
