nnyI'm uploading these on sendspace. If sendspace offends you in any way, let me know which songs you'd like and I'll pop 'em up somewhere else as well. :)
Videotape by Radiohead.
This one's very understated, simple piano and Thom Yorke's voice, and for some reason the first time I heard it it came to me as a vid, as though it ought to be a vid. One of the strange, arty ones which don't quite make a story (or possibly make a hundred different ones, one for each time you watch it.) It's one of those songs that stops me in my tracks, when I'm walking along muddy pathways on the way home from Uni, and just makes me blink and take in my surroundings for just a second or two.
We're All Gonna Die by Everlast.
The Supernatural song that I decided was a Supernatural song before I'd ever seen Supernatural. *grins* I'm pretty sure I actually got this song originally from a sampler CD from the front of Metal Hammer magazine back in college, when I was an aspiring metaller. It never really worked, though - I've always been ridiculously changeable and have a majorly eclectic music collection. Considering I'm lazy and generally put it on shuffle rather than making playlists, this makes for some bizarre sequences.
Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) by Cobra Starship
This is one of the most ridiculously epic songs I own, one of those that really couldn't have been for anything other than a soundtrack, since surely on an album no one would take it seriously? And yet it probably would have fit perfectly with the whole feel of Boa Vs Python... What do you mean, that's not much of a recommendation? It's a good one for yodelling along to when you're having a crappy day.
...man. This seems to be turning into a kinda... bandom music post. Uh oh...
One & Only by Timbaland featuring Fall Out Boy.
This track ends annoyingly just before the end, for some reason, so I apologise for that one. My little sister (who is clearly cooler than me) introduced me to this one and I just adore Patrick Stump's voice, frankly. It's got a great beat to it and I can't stop hollering along and chair bopping, and that's the kind of thing I need right now.
Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks by Panic! at the Disco (or at least, that was how they were punctuated at the time.)
Read what you like into the lyrics, this has been my favourite of the Panic songs I've got for a while. Again proving that my family are considerably more awesome than I, because this I first heard from my mother's CD collection when I was ironing in the kitchen. I think it's the slightly odd intervals between the notes, the singing that starts again just before you're ready for it in a Smiths-esque way. Which is possibly a description that makes more sense to me than anyone else, but was how I knew Placebo were covering the Smiths even though I'd never heard the original. :D
Lull by Andrew Bird.
This is an odd little song but I like it, and kinda identify with it entirely too much at the moment.
While I'm airbrushing fantasy art on my life
That's really kinda dull
Oh, I'm in a lull
There're probably more I could come up with, but I'm wanting a shower so I shall toddle off. Lemme know if you like owt, aye?

*giggles* Someone, somewhere really, really needs to write a BvP/Cobra Starship AU, with Gabe Saporta and Emmett bonding over their mutual adoration of, uh, snakes.
