Here's your room and here's your records

[venta]

Today, I am continuing with the epic work that is trying to get my room in order. As a result, I have nothing interesting to say.

However, I have just discovered that cardomom bisuits and honey go remarkably well together.

I'm also having one of those days of staring in dissatisfaction at my CDs and being unsure what to listen to. If anyone would like to comment and suggest good music-to-tidy-your-room-to, I'd be most grateful and will play it if I have it. I'll rate any suggestions by the amount of progress made during the song/album :)

Anything you can sing loudly to - Alice Cooper generally suits me, Trash,
Brutal Planet, Hey Stoopid - all good.

Hmm. I'm very badly provided with Alice Cooper. In fact, very badly provided with anything of that genre at all.

I've got a fair bit of Blondie left yet, but could follow it with, er, Zodiac Mindwarp, Hoodoo Gurus or Magnum if you think any of them make an adequate substitute. Or The Darkness :)

Hmm. Hole identified in CD collection :)

NP: Hoodoo Gurus - Ampology

(I think Zodiac Mindwarp would have been my first choice, but I'm currently without a tape player in my room, so can't.)

OK progress made during Hoodoo Gurus. More washing put out on the line - though this is mostly window-dressing, since the damn stuff isn't drying, it's just hanging there.

Book collection assessed and a few (not enough :( ) thrown out, lots of borrowed property which should be returned identified, some more floor uncovered and lots of miscellaneous crap removed from the bookshelves.

Also some dancing around the room like a twat was done, but don't tell anyone :)

and there was me thinking I was the only Magnum fan still in existance.

Tanzwut isn't too bad to tidy too, as you can't understand the lyrics so just listen to the flow of the music. Which is not bad stompy industrial bagpipes stuff.

I don't believe I've ever heard Tanzwut, though davefish recommends them highly. I mp3'd snow_leopard's Subway To Sally CD when I accidentally stole it, but the mp3s are at work.

The closes I can manage to stompy German industrial offhand is Rammstein - is that close enough ?

German is the only language I could even vaguely claim to speak (besides English) so I actually waste a lot of time trying to figure out the lyrics :)

Ah well, I'm not keen on the first album apart from Augen Zu.

I have the live DVD which is great, but as I'm also getting another version of it, I could lend it to people.

I could email you a few of the videos, but I guess if you speak a bit of German you could loose a fair bit of time translating them.

Rammsteins not bad so I guess that could do. Something with a decent stompy beat to it, so you get into the rhythm. If you put Magnum on I guess you#d be more inclined to have a tea break.

NP: Rammstein - Sehnsucht

[venta.livejournal.com]

Yup, progress made again.

Camera/computer crap cleared off bookshelf and crated. Books scooped off floor and put on newly empty bookshelf. Miscellaneous papers sorted/thrown out.

Alice cooper is great to watch live aswell. A real showman.

Songs are good too.

Couldn't agree more - standing front row in the Brutal Planet tour was incredible.

Well if a hole has been identified, it obviously needs filling!

Next time I'm down, I shall bring my CDs and together we shall fill your hole in the name of friendship and good music! Rar!

we shall fill your hole in the name of friendship

I'm not that kind of girl, y'know ;)

Seriously, though, I wouldn't mind a few recommendations of canonical rawk! albums to provide a bit of coverage in my collection.

I've just noticed that I don't even seem to have Appetite for Destruction on CD. How on earth did that happen ?

You need a copy of Aerosmith's Permanent Vacation !

(That was a recommendation.)

[kissifa.livejournal.com]

You can have mine (if I can find it) I only got it for Rag Doll, St John, and Dude Looks Like a Lady.
