1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

stillsostrange gave me "R".

1. Rainbow Disconnection by Sad Kermit. Because even muppets get sad sometimes.


2. Rats by Rasputina (Yes, corwin77, clicking that link is a bad idea. Contains rats. In fact, no one watch the video, just minimize it and listen tot he song.)


3. Re:Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton. I think I've been in meetings with the protag from this song.


4. Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. This song always makes me think of the old 90s TV show American Gothic. Which I think was only watched by me. Every time I hear this song I picture Gary Cole in a dusty black coat with stacks of green paper in his red right hand. Also, lookit the pretty pre-moustache Nick Cave!


5. Romulan Ale by S.P.O.C.K. While looking through youtube, I found an utterly devastating fanvid for Rasptutina's "A Quitter", so I needed something silly to cheer me up. Couldn't find it online, sadly. S.P.O.C.K. are highly goofy.

You get "B".

OK, give me a letter!

BTW, I really like that Rasputina song.

[curgoth]

You get "S".

Cool! It just so happens that three of my all-time favourite songs begin with that letter... :-)

Got all five picked out and have located videos (though in one case, the only things available were truly awful fan videos - have to add a "don't watch, just listen!" note to that one). I just need to write up some notes on each one...

Rats you say? I think I will not click on the link as I already have that song on CD and can listen whenever I want without the terrifying visuals.

Does this count as a reply? Or do I need to explicitly ask for a letter.
If so I ask...explicitly. ;)

"G" for you.

[thegiantkiller.livejournal.com]

letter, please.

[curgoth]

"T" for you

[thegiantkiller.livejournal.com]

I'll skip songs starting with "the"; do you think I should avoid demonstrative pronouns (these, that, those, this and sometimes them) too?

[curgoth]

Your call. I'd say anything other than "the" should be fine, though.

Letter me.

[curgoth]

you get "C".

[sabotabby]

I liked American Gothic.

[curgoth]

Happily, zip.ca has the whole series! Someone's at the door!

Anyway, if you'd like a letter, you may have "N".

[tymen.livejournal.com]

I have American Gothic on DVD. Still need to watch it.

Hit me!
