So, I was working today and had this idea. I hate my job, as most of you know, but since the world requires me to pay bills or be homeless/hungry/etc. I put up with it. Hopefully, it will only be until I graduate in May/once I find a job.
Anyways, to my idea. I was listening to my iPod and since I like to share parts of my life with all of you, I am going to shuffle my iPod and share the first five songs that I feel like sharing. I don't want it to be the first five because I have music on there that I never listen to, but I will try to be a little objective.
So here goes:
1: The Crane Wife 3 performed by The Decemberists
I love that this is my first song (I only skipped 2, one being an old Linkin Park song and the other a song from Rent that I don't really like). I love The Decemberists. They are great. If you haven't heard them, listen. I can suggest some for you too. In fact, Castaways and Cutouts, Picaresque, The Crane Wife, and The Hazards of Love are all great albums. Check them out.
2: Girl Anachronism performed by The Dresden Dolls
I had to skip one because it was another Decemberists song. (We Both Go Down Together. Great. Listen.) This song is great though, too. :)
3: Work It Out performed by Jurassic 5
(No skipping!)
4: Good Morning Baltimore performed by Nikki Blonsky (from Hairspray)
So I had far too many skips, and I feel like a musical number should be on here, so here it is.
5: Silence performed by Delerium ft. Sarah McLachlan
And finally, after more skips, I come to this song. I feel like it's not very well known. I like it a lot.
AND I'm really happy that the music video is Final Fantasy 8 themed. Because I love RPG's and the Final Fantasy series. I just replayed 8 over the summer. Beat it without a gameshark for the first time. Crazy I know, but I was young and felt that things were too difficult. Silly me.
So that's that. I'll probably do this again some time. But it seems to be an easy, quick way to get a post up and I'm satisfied.
So I'm currently stuck in my sad music kick and have to go to sleep, but I will give all of these (save The Decemberists and Hairspray because I know and love those already!) a listen tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYay! Post more! :-P
FFVIII is like the easiest game ever...
ReplyDeleteGranted I read FAQs and Walkthroughs and such and exploited pretty much everything possible to completely own everything in the game, including the Omega Weapon. I think I ended at like level 20 and that's only because I got bored of using Card every single fight; I had zero level gain up until disc 4.
Next time you play, try making a Meteor Wing Rinoa. (Rinoa using Angel Wing with nothing but curative spells junctioned to her less useful stats and 100 Meteor junctioned to her magic.) Her and a properly outfitted Squall with Lionheart can take out Ultimecia by themselves in a matter of minutes... my third character was just there to throw items.
And I'm officially a huge nerd.
