Day of happy!

I forget which day I was on - either three or four, so I shall call it number 3 because then I have more excuses to find happy things for longer.

Today what is making me happy is Beirut. My flatmate Smaller introduced them to me with a song called Postcards from Italy which took a while to grow on me; they're different to most bands I listen to, but I found myself listening to them more and more, and now they're on my playlist at every opportunity. This morning's boot up the arse of my mood was a song called Long Island Sound, which came on just as I was rounding the corner to the residential area I get my lift from, just as the sun came up over the houses and warmed one side of my face into a smile.

A couple more: Le Moribond/My Family's Role in the World Revolution, which I can never stop myself bopping energetically to, and Mount Wroclai (Idle Days), the beginning of which always reminds me of the Amelie soundtrack.

The day didn't continue quite so good, sadly; I found out that I have to essentially rejig the entire plan I had made for the unit of work I'm teaching this term. I didn't think I'd be grateful that I didn't get nearly as much done over Easter as I'd hoped. :/

Also also, I want to write another [livejournal.com profile] mcsmooch but I can't think of what to write, so if you have a scenario you wanna see (or a prompt word, or whatever) lemme know and I shall do my bestest. ♥

Oh, I love Beirut entirely. :) Postcards from Italy is my favorite, but Elephant Gun and Prenzlauerberg are close seconds.

The song I love best totally depends on the day of the week, because they really do the whole emotional landscape thing well.

Today has evolved into a kind of... er... ANGRILY MOSHING DEFTONES day, sadly, which Beirut are not so much in the vicinity of.

If you ever get the chance to see Beirut live, DO IT. I had enormous amounts of fun at the concert I went to, and that was before K wrangled me backstage so I could be introduced to everyone :)
