This weekend I finally finished a lot of stuff that I had been planning to do months ago for some time:
  • I posted another filmreview (in my Dutch movieblog: The Kite Runner)
  • I uncluttered my livingroom (What? I totally did)
  • I wrote a more or less coherent bookreview of Call Me By Your Name-which you all should read. Not the review, the book.
  • I unclogged the sink and the showerdrain in the bathroom
  • Put away last week's laundry (...), washed another load, managed to bring that in one second before a massive storm started and didn't wait another week before putting the clean stuff in my closet
  • Did the dishes
  • I finished fiddling with My new LJ-background
  • and last but not least: I collected all those songs from the February-musicmeme to share!


  • Both [livejournal.com profile] artistic_sillie and [livejournal.com profile] chemfishee guessed four lyrics, so they are the winners! *throws confetti* As a thank you to everyone who played, I will now give you the answers: a random collection of 37 songs. Take your pick or get them all in one go. I recommend: #01, # 14, #17, #21, #24, #25, #27 and #36 :-)

    01. 20 - Travis & Belle and Sebastian
    Sure it's a gas, stuck in an English class
    Can't even dream, so it's hard to accept the roll you're given


    02. Average Man - Turin Brakes
    If I was a farmer, instead of a faker
    If I was a realer and not just some raker


    03. The Shining - Badly Drawn Boy
    Faith pours from your walls, drowning your calls
    I've tried to hear, you're not near


    04. Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House
    There is freedom within, there is freedom without
    Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup


    05. Chanson D'Amour - Manhattan Transfer
    Chanson d'amour, ra da da da da, play encore
    Here in my heart, ra da da da da, more and more


    06. How Can You Mend A Broken Heart - Marvin Gaye
    I can think of younger days when living for my life
    Was everything a man could want to do.


    07. King Of New York - Fun Lovin' Criminals
    Franky was a mook from the block we used to live on
    The wanna be gangster; the wanna be dapper don, don john on


    08. Save The Children - Marvin Gaye
    I just want to ask a question Who really cares?
    To save a world in despair
    There'll come a time, when the world won't be singin'


    09. Simple Creed - Live (Ed Kowalczyk)
    Born with back to the god
    That spit you out on the riverbed
    Angry at who? Me? You better back up fool
    I bet you took a gun to school too


    10. Star Of Bethlehem - Home Alone OST
    Star of Bethlehem shining bright
    bathing the world in heav'nly light


    11. Beachball - REM
    Tonight's alive
    The beachball's set to fly
    Those well tequilaed guys
    Who smile at strangers.


    12. Radio #1 - Air
    If you need some fun, some good stereo gum - radio #1
    Brand new ears at once eject musical trash - radio #1


    13. Laat Me Alleen - Rita Hovink
    Laat me alleen, alleen met al m'n verdriet
    't Is beter dat ik nu geen mensen zie
    Niemand, niemand, niemand die me troosten kan
    Ik verloor m'n toekomst en m'n doel


    14. Tribute - Tenacious D
    This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.
    Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
    we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road...


    15. You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones
    I saw her today at a reception, A glass of wine in her hand
    I knew she would meet her connection. At her feet was her footloose man


    16. Dig In - Lenny Kravitz
    Its time to face it. Come on in and join the party
    Life has been waiting


    17. You're Gorgeous - Babybird
    Remember that tank top you bought me. You wrote 'You're Gorgeous' on it.
    You took me to your rented motor car and filmed me on the bonnet.


    18. A Great Big Sled - The Killers
    This snowman is shaping up to be an eight but not out of ten
    The robots awake to find that they've been taped down
    wondering when they break though these chains


    19. Big Time Sensuality - Björk
    I can sense it: something important is about to happen, it's coming up
    it takes courage to enjoy it: the hardcore and the gentle big time sensuality


    20. There She Goes - Sixpence None The Richer
    There she goes. There she goes again
    Racing through my brain and I just can't contain this feeling that remains


    21. 19/2000 - Gorillaz
    The world is spinning too fast,
    I'm buying lead Nike shoes to keep myself tethered to the days I try to lose


    22. Poison Arrow - ABC
    If I were to say to you: Can you keep a secret?
    Would you know just what to do or where to keep it?


    23. We Are Not Gonna Make It - The Presidents Of The United States Of America
    We're not gonna make it. No no we're not gonna to make it
    'cuz there's a million better bands with a million better songs
    Singers who can drum and singers who can sing


    24. Pipi Langkous - Tune
    Twee maal drie is vier wiedewiedewiet en twee is negen
    Ik richt de wereld in wiedewiede naar mijn eigen zin


    25. Amphetamines - Eve 6
    Amphetamines and jellybeans
    She was pretty in her teens, waiting for the month of come what May
    I smelled you on my shirt today


    26. More Than This - Soulwax
    Guess i had it coming, ambition is my worst vice
    next thing I know time is having its way with me

    Started at the age of 4. My mother went to the grocery store.

    28. Everything Goes - Natalie Imbruglia
    You live your life, You live like an island
    Satisfied you live for the moment


    29. Wave Of Mutilation - The Pixies

    Drive my car into the ocean
    You'll think i'm dead,
    but I sail away on a wave of mutilation


    30. Cracked Actor - David Bowie
    I've come on a few years from my Hollywood Highs
    The best of the last, the cleanest star they ever had

    (Aw, Aw baby, Yeah, Ooh Yeah, Huh, Listen to this)
    Spy on me baby use satellite, Infrared to see me move through the night

    You reach for pain, you reach for fear
    you reach for everything but nothing ever comes your way

    For to see my depth of sorrow
    You are not allowed to follow me
    Into this town square And then run away


    34. To You I Bestow - Mundy
    Wait a minute now, I'll see you when I come back
    I could be sharing someone else's pillow


    35. Get Over You - Sophie Ellis Baxter
    You think you've got your way but baby there's a catch
    Don't need your foul play. Now you have met your match


    36. Major Tom (völlig losgelöst) - Peter Schilling
    Gründlich durchgecheckt steht Sie da und wartet auf den Start. - Alles klar.

    Wow, so productive! I have written fic(let) and prepared music post and everything, but am much too lazy/sleepy to post them. I fail, I know, I know.

    And yay for the background! After last week's episode, the boys were totally allowed to stay ;).

    Will steal the songs I do not own over the next couple of days, yay! And wow, that's a lot of uploading you did, there! *bows*

    Hey, the guys were the reason for this lj, so they have earned their presence here:) Besides: who can resist the public declaration of love? Just look at Nick's face: ahw.

    If I can share even one song you don't already know, it was worth it. (I don't think we talked about Eve 6 before, did we?)

    Thank you. I wish I was brave enough to do more experimenting with LJ-styles. Maybe in the future...
