Touch Me I'm Going to Scream

I'm so loving this song at the moment:

Touch me, I'm going to scream if you don't
inside i know you got the feeling that you won't, oh
i know it sounds confusing, but it makes a lot of sense
throw a bone across the ocean, dig a hole under the fence

touch me, i'm going to scream if you don't
inside i know we get the feeling that you won't
i can tell by the way you smile, i'm smiling, too
i see myself in you
i can tell by the sounds you make when you are pleased
you see yourself in me

touch me, i'm going to scream if you don't
inside i know we got the feeling that you won't
how many nights can a soul so full of life remain untouched?
how can a soul make the most of what is cold and what is near?

i need a human right by my side, untied, untied

Little Indie Girl's Wet Dream: My Morning Jacket at The Forum

Tonight I went to see Stillwater..well no it was My Morning Jacket...play The Forum in Kentish Town, it was pretty cheap (15 pounds for a seat!) and  it's pretty close, so off I went! And it could have been Stillwater for all I know :)

I must admit that apart from Z and a couple of songs from their Chapter albumbs, I haven't listened to MMJ all that much so unfortunately the set list isn't coming from me, but they played a lot of songs from Z and several from the new album Evil Urges, an album I must admit I like more than Z!

Jim James, the front man, was clearly hell bent on giving us the full 15 pounds worth last night, he was working his ass off all night but it would have been nice if he'd talked a little more to the audience, all is forgiven though because he wore a cape!  A CAPE!

So that's all I can say, had a great time and I will be catching them again live for sure. Here's a crappy picture I snatched from my seat on the balcony (I did take a couple of short video clips but they all turned out to be crappy):

 

Les Champs Elysees

This is usually the last song I put on my Ipod before I get home after a night out. I sing along and do some dance steps while walking those last steps to the Mansion, what can I say, it makes me happy :)

Joe Dassin - Les Champs Elysees

I Loves You Too Porgy.

Essays handed in and I'm semi-free for the next couple of weeks (lots of reading has to be done though). Today was supposed to be spent shopping, taking in some festive spirit and then seeing a movie I've been waiting and waiting to see. So far things aren't going to plan and I blame Nina Simone! Lounging around, listening to her music is so much better than to brave the cold outside...

Dean & Nina.

The two people keeping me sane (as sane as I'll ever be that is) these days:

Dean Martin - Sway

Nina Simone - Feelin' Good

Interesting music.

I suggest you people start listening to my cousin Jónas' stuff. His cd 'I Will Dance Where the Asphalt Glides' is really good stuff!

Byrjanir...

Worry Till Spring með Sprengjuhöllinni og You Oughta Know coverið með Jonathan Coulton hljómar alveg ískyggilega líkt, kannski er fyrra dæmið einum dúr neðar (hey, ég droppaði út úr tónó alveg tólf ára...) þannig að hvað veit ég...

Sprengjuhöllin er samt mjög kúl, og þá er ég ekki bara að tala um 'young Cliff Richard' dæmið hjá Atla Bollasyni, heldur bara svona almennt...

Síðasta lag fyrir fréttir.

Það er skylda að hlusta á vel valin Kiss lög á föstudögum...

Love Gun - Kiss

Ipod.

Greyið Ipodinn minn er á gjörgæslu þessa dagana, batteríið neitar orðið að hlaða sig nema annað slagið og ég var eiginlega orðin úrkula vonar, hélt að ég gæti bara afskrifað tónlistina á honum (þeas allt sem ég á ekki á geisladisk). Í bjartsýniskasti í gær ákvað ég að prófa tengja hann við tölvuna og athuga hvað hann segði og viti menn! Hann tengdist tölvunni nógu lengi til að ég gæti afritað alla tónlistina :) Nú er bara að vita hvort Apple kallarnir geti ekki kysst á bágtið hjá greyinu mínu...

Amazonian shopping.

The latest purchases from Amazon.co.uk:

Shopping for Vintage: The Definitive Guide to Vintage Fashion - Beautiful, beautiful book! Glanced at it yesterday and I can't wait to really get my teeth into it!

Subversive Cross Stitch - Fab idea from Julie Jackson and will keep my hands busy for a while. Great present for someone off-beat and crafty.

Making Stuff: An Alternative Craft Book - Perhaps this was the disappointing part of my shipment, perhaps not. It was a tad more beginner-y than I'd hoped but there were still a handful of projects I want to try right away.

Misery Is a Butterfly -  I quite like Blonde Redhead (despite the very disappointing show last Thursday) and the result of the first round of listening to MIAB is that I like it, and something makes me think that after a few more rounds I'll love it. Perhaps it was because I was under the influence of a Brontë (see below) but BR struck me as being the musical equivalence of the Brontës, ie all dark moors and whatnot.

Jane Eyre - 2006 (BBC) - Laughed, cried, giggled, blushed, loved it! I've never been a big fan of Jane Eyre, and the old original film did absolutely nothing for me, but thanks to a great job by everyone involved I absolutely fell head over heels with it! When our 'Auntie', RÚV, airs it in a couple of years, be sure to watch it.
