thanate(see, I said I'd get to it)
All this typing is just starting to make my wrists hurt. Phoey. And I keep thinking that I'll get to the end of November and then I'll be able to do all this other stuff, and then remembering I'm writing to the end of the novel, not the end of the month... Only today, I've written relatively little, and done some room cleaning (so I can eventually have space to fold down the sofa bed so my aunt can sleep on it over thanksgiving) and am working on getting the deer vertebrae out of the bathroom-- but of course they had to be washed first. And made a tarot card. Except that I couldn't finish it, because the ---ing idiots who reinstalled the system on the new hard drive didn't put the whole font set on there. Or Graphic Converter. Or all the pieces so I can open Classic... Presumably I can fix this; I just haven't gotten to it yet. (and didn't know about the font problem before this morning. Phoey on them.)
But-- I really wanted to post the thing I've been thinking about for a while now, about music.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lagged_variable started it, actually, with his list of "slightly inappropriate baby songs" for baby E. He has the whole list of songs that are baby-appropriate sound-wise but not in content, and was asking for suggestions.
My first thought (which was totally not the sort of thing he was looking for) was "Whisky Lullaby." (ok, yes, you're probably all going to throw things at me now, but I don't see why one should discriminate against a perfectly good depressing song just because someone labled it "country") Which brings up the playlist that's been kind of forming in the back of my brain since I used to do mix tapes. Because I want a collection of deviant lullabies.
The list so far is kind of short...
Definitely:
Whisky Lullaby (I don't even know any artist names)
Lullaby (the cure)
When You Sleep (barenaked ladies)
Adult Lullaby (mediaeval baebs)
Circle of Steel (gordon lightfoot)
Maybe: (which is to say they seem to fit, somehow, but I couldn't quite say why)
Mad World (gary jules)
Tomorrow, Wendy (concrete blonde)
Sunday Morning, Yellow Sky (october project-- actually, this is just borderline too loud)
--and I'm sure there should be representation from Garbage, and Cruxshadows, and a couple others, but not sure what songs yet...
Anyway, I know there's stuff out there that I've never heard or heard of. Anybody know what it is? :)
