shit everyone. time to pretend we ~loved~ brittany murphy all along. idk about you lot but i am ~deeply affected~ by her ~tragic~ and ~untimely~ death. and i can't explain this but all of a sudden i believe she was one of the great actresses of our time.

BUT HERE'S WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW:
do you think she'll get an oscar for dying, too????

FIRST ONE TO SCREAM GETS IT RIGHT BETWEEN THE TITS

2009-10-25T06:26:35Z

HEY GUYS WHAT'S UP

LOL YOU CAN'T ANSWER THAT

RIGHT I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW AT MIDNIGHT ON HALLOWEEN. AFTER WHICH I WILL BE DRIVING MY CAR OFF A CLIFF BECAUSE MY LIFE WILL NEVER GET BETTER.

fuck no you don't get an lj cut

2009-10-14T04:54:04Z

What's up, you dirty little cunts? I am taking a break from ignoring all of you to tell you this:

You should really give Hanson a chance, everyone.

And you have no excuse not to, because I've uploaded their discography* for your listening pleasure. The RIAA dictates that you should be ashamed of yourself and whatnot.

*note: I'm not including Snowed In here because a) I don't have it and b) I don't give a shit about Christmas albums and neither should you.

Middle of Nowhere (1997)
If you ever owned any of these albums, this was most likely it. This is the album that made them famous and made them a joke, which isn't entirely fair. THEY WERE LIKE 11 AND 8 AND 6 WHEN THEY WROTE MMMBOP, OKAY? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? Furthermore, yes they DID write all of these songs, which is more than any fucking Disney kid can say nowadays, AND they sing better than all the Disney kids, so fuck you.

sample songs: mmmbop, where's the love, a minute without you
full album: middle of nowhere (you know you want this)

This Time Around (2000)
I won't even play around. This is a really shitty album overall. A few of the tracks here are magnificent, but this is otherwise a typical sophomore slump thing. I don't think I've even listened to the entire album.

sample songs: (I really do recommend these.) if only, this time around, a song to sing
full album: this time around

Underneath (2004)
You would not believe the shit these guys had to go through to make and release Underneath. To sum up the Strong Enough to Break documentary (which I also recommend if you're curious about Hanson or about how fucked the music industry is), they got so disheartened and pissed off with their label that they said fuck this shit and left it and started their own. So this album was released independently. It probably never would have been otherwise. THAT SAID. I only really listen to the first half of this. There are a couple tracks I like on the last half, but I forget about them most of the time.

sample songs: strong enough to break, penny & me, lost without each other
full album: underneath

The Walk (2007)
Well, this is it. This motherfucker is the reason I became a Hanson fan again. This is the album that you NEED. If you listen to this one, and at no point do you say, "alright erin, I get it", then I don't wanna know you anymore. I LOVE THIS FUCKING ALBUM. I love it so much. It is probably in my top ten albums ever, and considering the company it shares up there (Houses of the Holy, Mona Bone Jakon, Blood on the Tracks, and Abbey Road to name a few), that should tell you a lot. ONE OTHER THING. On every other Hanson LP, there is at least one song I hate. Not the case with The Walk. I like or love each track here.

sample songs: great divide, georgia, blue sky
full album: the walk

Stand Up Stand Up EP (2009)
Bonus! This was just released fookin' last month or some shit. I listened to it the first time and I said to myself, meh. It's not The Walk. I can't stop listening to it now.

You make a list of things—good or bad—you want to say to people, things you're too chickenshit to say to their faces. You post this list and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do you answer any questions regarding who you are talking about. Not even to say, 'no, that one is not you.' People go crazy wondering if they are being talked about and it's a shitstirring drama mobile and I love it so much, it is the greatest meme ever.

eta

tbh i only wanted to use this icon

2009-07-26T01:00:06Z

Some of you said you would give a shit if I uploaded music. I'm here to make liars out of you.

not all the prayers in the world could save us
a mix of break-up, anti-love, and this-relationship-sucks songs

tracklist / why I chose each song YOU CARE SO MUCH

1. elvis costello & the attractions » hand in hand
I wanted an Elvis Costello song on here, and I love this one. 'Don't ask me to apologise, I won't ask you to forgive me. If I'm gonna go down, you're gonna come with me.' Do you lot say Caahstello or Cuhstello? I say Cuhstello.

2. lesley gore » you don't own me
Remember this scene in First Wives Club? That is not why I chose this. I chose it because Lesley Gore is a badass. She's all, fuck you man, I don't even need you. Secretly however she would not even be dating a man at all.

3. the beatles » i'll follow the sun
I had a hard time choosing a Beatles song. There are several appropriate ones. When I had it narrowed down to three, I believe I was left with this one, Run for Your Life, and For No One. I forget what made me decide on I'll Follow the Sun.

4. damien rice » rootless tree
I knew I wanted this the second I decided to make the mix. The reason should be obvious.

5. the zombies » she's not there
She's Not There is one of those songs that finds its way onto pretty much every single mix I make. I love this song. I would probably sing it if I were on American Idol.

6. queen » nevermore
Prettyyyyy.

7. regina spektor » ode to divorce
I have only recently come to realise this but Regina Spektor is quite fabulous. This song is very pretty and a little bit bizarre and it gets stuck in my head.

8. led zeppelin » babe i'm gonna leave you
I am obligated to put a Led Zeppelin song on every mix. BAAAAaaabeBAAAaabeBAAabeBAAbeBAAAaabybabyi'mgonnaLEEEEaaveyouuuuu

9. alison krauss & union station » doesn't have to be this way
Holy crap for brains I love this song. It makes me a little wet. Such is the effect of Alison's voice on my vagina; I embrace it.

10. michael jackson » leave me alone
Honestly I don't think I considered anything else, not even She's Out of My Life. I needed more angry songs on here anyway.

11. the police » can't stand losing you
Again with the angry songs. Well, kind of angry, this one. 'Guess this is my last good-bye, but you don't care so I won't cry. But you'll be sorry when I'm dead, and all this guilt will be on your head.' I love that shit.

12. the cyrkle » red rubber ball
The way I feel about this song is I HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY PLAY IT AGAIN. If I am making a mix, and it makes sense to put Red Rubber Ball there, it will be there.

13. the smiths » bigmouth strikes again
Morrissey once again being a lyrical genius. I'm not even gonna spoil it for you. I will warn you, though, that at certain parts, this song is a bit obnoxious due to special guest star Theodore Chipmunk.

14. the byrds » i'll feel a whole lot better
Another shoo-in.

15. fleetwood mac » storms
Okay. My favourite break-up song by the Mac is not Storms. It is Silver Springs. If I allowed myself more than one song per artist you can bet that The Dance version of Silver Springs would be on this mix. There is a very specific reason I wanted Storms. I'll let you figure it out yourself.

16. bob dylan » it ain't me babe
I lost sleep over this decision. It Ain't Me Babe or Don't Think Twice, It's All Right? Toss, turn. My conclusion is that Don't Think Twice is a better break-up song, but right now I want to listen to It Ain't Me more often. Also I think I might like It Ain't Me a little more.

17. robert plant & alison krauss » through the morning, through the night
I will admit that this is roughly the dialogue that occurred in my head: 'How about a song off Raising Sand?' - 'Sure okay.' - 'K how about Through the Morning Through the Night?' - 'Sure.'

18. cat stevens » bitterblue
See #8; I had to do this. It was actually hard to even come up with a break-up song for Cat Stevens. (Am I completely retarded?)

19. fiona apple » parting gift
And another hard decision. (It is hard to choose one break-up song by Fiona Apple because they are all break-up songs. Let's go ahead and make that joke.) It was between this, Carrion, and Get Gone, I believe. In the end I just said fuck it and went with Parting Gift.

20. simon & garfunkel » april come she will
One of the first few I knew I wanted. This song is so gorgeous and subtle and idek. I listen to it all the time.

GUYS GUYS YOU GUIIIIISE MY BFF CALLED ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND SHE WAS LIKE 'HANSON OCTOBER NINTH AND THEY'RE DOING THE WALK AGAIN SO MAKE SURE YOU GET THE WHOLE DAY OFF' AND I STARTED SCREAMING AND ALMOST CRYING AND I YELLED AT HER FOR TELLING ME IMPORTANT THINGS WHILE I WAS OPERATING HEAVY MACHINERY okay bye

I would also be more than happy with this:

And to be honest at this point I would take this as well.

I just have to say it once. I hate that people are suddenly using Michael Jackson icons and listening to his music and talking about how great he was, because these same people a week ago? Probably wouldn't have. On one hand I am honestly grateful that for the most part, people are talking about him with respect.. but on the other, you didn't have time for him when he was alive.

There's some icon meme going around and Pudge asked me to explain these...

'because yes I fucking do :)'

I have a few icons that I made out of comics from nataliedee.com. Her site info or whatever expressly says not to do shit like this. I.. lmao I thought about e-mailing her once being all 'I know you say not to fuck with your shit but I made some icons, is that okay?' But she scares me, so I didn't.

'because it's my favorite icon of all the ones you've made :)'

Harold and Maude is my favourite cult classic. The first time I ever watched it, I saw this shot and I thought to myself, I'm gonna make an icon of that. Looking at the icon now, I don't love the colouring, but I can't be arsed to remake it. So whatever.

'because it makes my girlhood tremble :)'

I hate myself a little bit for being a sucker for James Dean. But.. but I watched Rebel Without a Cause and there you go. There's something about him.

'because of the eyebrow :)'

I have no words for this one.

'because it's gorgeous as all fuck :)'

Yeah I love this one. I hesitate to use it, though, because even someone who has seen Vertigo might not recognise this at first glance. It looks like a Golden Gate Bridge icon, which makes me look like a schmuck.

'because it makes me almost like Paul a lil bit. Almost. haha'

I dunno. I just love that Paulie is all like :D :D :D THIS BADGE RULES!

alright, flist.

2.
Don't say 'it's a tie between...', because that's annoying. Yes it is. You get one indivisible vote.

3.
We're only talking about dudes, only music artists (no Phil Spector), and only artists who fall under the broad classic rock genre. So, true as they may be, votes for people such as Michael Jackson, Randy Travis, C.C. Deville, Joe Jonas, and Biz Markie won't count.

Robert Plant

This is what's annoying the hell out of me lately. Because I know you want to read this.

Led Zeppelin realises that its last hookup was spectacular and asks Robert Plant to go steady again. Robert Plant is like, sorry, I've moved on, I'm with Alison now. Led Zeppelin threatens, we'll move on without you and you're going to lose us. Robert Plant says, I lost you thirty years ago. We broke up. Get the net. Led Zeppelin allegedly booty calls Steven Tyler in retaliation.

So now every music journalist everywhere is writing an article every day telling this story over and over again. ROBERT PLANT DUMPS LED ZEPPELIN FOR ALISON KRAUSS, SHATTERS HEARTS OF JIMMY PAGE AND MILLIONS OF FANS. Whine whine whine. And I'm like, 1) shut the fuck up; 2) Robert isn't obligated to tour with his former bandmates or with anyone else for that matter; 3) he is Robert Fucking Plant and he can do whatever he wants; and 4) shut the fuck up. I so don't care.

tl;dr I need to remove a few communities from my flist.

I made a Beatles mix and a Cat Stevens mix today and they are the greatest mixes that ever happened, aside from the mix Pudge made me which includes 'Knock Three Times.' I also finally, after over two years, realised I was able to delete the Beach Boys from my last.fm profile entirely and this brought me so much joy.

Which leads me to this burning question. Name some music artists you hate that people might expect you would like, given your taste. For me:

The Beach Boys
U2
The Eagles
AC/DC
Eric Clapton, solo, esp. 1990s on
