music fiending

[glass_icarus]

For the first time in ages, I am actually planning to buy music! My friend in Toronto introduced me to the joys of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, and now I can't get Give Life Back to Music or Get Lucky out of my head. I've also been meaning to acquire Janelle Monae's The Electric Lady since I heard about it because *______* NEW JANELLE OMG.

In the meantime, thanks to zouk, I've been chasing down a ton of random songs based only on the melodies/intros and what few lyrics I can piece together. Ellie Goulding, for example- High For This and Burn, and I Need Your Love; Chris Brown's Don't Judge Me (which despite my distaste for both title and singer is still a beautiful song, musically speaking, to dance to); MJ's Whatever Happens; Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful; Anselmo Ralph's Não Me Toca; Tarkan's Dudu... and also, courtesy of that Toronto friend again, David Tao's Melody (CHEESEBALL, I KNOW. And yet!). And this isn't even getting to DJ mixes like Nyx's!

How about you guys? What music has been making you happy recently?

Oooh, for Ellie Goulding I also really like "Anything Could Happen"! I've also been listening to Haim's "My Song 5" a lot -- sometimes Haim is a bit too much too much for me, but the cheesiness in that song hits the right spot for me.

Ellie Goulding's voice gives me happy shivers- if there's a song of hers that I don't like, I haven't found it yet! *g* I think my zouk friend has been playing one song of Haim's, I just can't remember the name of it.

Yes yes yes you need to hear the new Janelle :-D

Waaaaaaant. :D I hear the Target CDs have different cover art, which is the only reason I haven't bought it off iTunes yet (still debating whether I want a hard copy, haha).

I only listened to The Electric Lady in full last night and it was AWESOME.

Yay, Daft Punk! My tango teacher put me onto streaming tango music which I've been enjoying (but is not everyone's thing). ^^

Daft Punk \o/

I have some tango music that I can share if you like! I don't have any nuevo, but I do have a lot of Piazzolla...

I would love some Piazzolla if it's not too much trouble! :D

Sure!! Let me go dig through my files. ;)
