Re: Music recommendations (+2)
Make Me Smile:
Your Horoscope for Today, Weird Al Yankovic, Running With Scissors: A lot of Weird Al makes me smile. This one is just supremely silly.
(And a lot like the Onion's horoscope, actually.)
Necro, Caroline's Spine, Monsoon:
"I'm a necrophiliac / close your eyes / no more laughter no more cries / I'm a necrophiliac / loving you live / loving you dead / Will you marry me? / No I don't think so."
Die Eier Von Satan, Tool, Aenima: The world's creepiest pastry recipe.
Cold Metal Dream, Channel, Burning Inside: Oh, that sexy android.
Pure Morning, Placebo, Without You I'm Nothing: "A friend in need's a friend indeed / a friend with weed is better / a friend with breasts and all the rest / a friend who's dressed in leather"
Break My Heart:
Don't Think of Me, Dido, No Angel:
I associate this song with the main character of Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy losing the great love of his life, which is just a heartbreaking sequence. (I heard this song pretty regularly while I was reading that part.)
Mad World (I'm not remembering who originally did it and I'm not thinking of their version anyway). Gorgeous song, played over the saddest part of Donnie Darko.
Room of Angel, Akira Yamaoka, Silent Hill 4 soundtrack:
Oh man. Just listen to the lyrics.
Woot!:
Stahlmania, Stahlhammer, Stahlmania:
Seriously driving German-language Austrian heavy metal. Premium headbanging material.
Ruf Mich An, Megaherz, Himmelfahrt:
Driving beats all about a phone sex line. In guttural German. Oh yeah.
Voices/The Game/Stupify/Down With the Sickness/Violence Fetish, Disturbed, The Sickness: There's some really neat stuff on later Disturbed albums, but these five songs or so are the ones that get me moving and singing and adding them to my custom Burnout soundtrack. Plus the lead singer's voice just isn't raw enough on the later stuff.
Anna Begins, Counting Crows, August and Everything After: Okay, so this isn't anything like the metal/hard rock I'm mostly putting in this category (very little makes me want to move like a good rock beat.) But it does make me very happy, even more so than most Counting Crows songs. In part because I associate it with a girl I used to work with named Anna who I liked very much. In part because it evokes exactly the feeling of falling in love (at least for me). Although it's a mutual love, which I've yet to experience.
Mouth (remix), Bush, An American Werewolf in Paris soundtrack: I've heard their standard mix of this song and it doesn't do anything in particular for me. But this one is weird and haunting and oooh so good. In fact, the whole soundtrack is something of a treasure trove, especially considering that it's to a pretty lousy movie. Also notable, the version of Caroline Spine's "Turned Blue", which is not identified as being any different than the standard version on the album it's from, but it's *much* creepier on the soundtrack.
Gives Me Goosebumps: Two categories here, since I have no idea what this is meant to mean.
So gorgeous it gives me chills:
Imagine, A Perfect Circle...whatever the remix album's called, I forget: Never heard the Lennon original, but this version I could listen to for ages.
I Have The Touch, Heather Nova, The Craft soundtrack:
No commentary here except to say that I have an unreasonable fondness for that movie.
Pretty When You Cry, VAST, no clue what album: Sonically gorgeous with an INSANE music video. Seriously. Also, very creepy.
King of Pain, The Police, Synchronicity: I *love* the imagery in this one.
The opening music for Metroid Prime: I used to just sit there at the title screen and listen to this loop.
"Inner Universe", the opening theme for Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex 1st gig: The mix of ethereal singing in Latin, Russian and English and techno background is hands down my favorite television theme ever. EVER. I just listened to it another five consecutive times.
"lilium", the opening theme for Elfen Lied: Also gorgeous.
Creepy:
Womb (any mix whatsoever), Wumpscut, (many albums): The voice mixing on the fetus singing....brr.
Mein Teil, Rammstein, Reise Reise: Some of my friends, perhaps not inappropriately, think Rammstein's songs are all creepy. This one particularly goes for a certain sonic menace. Plus it's about a guy who had a sexual fetish for eating people.
And that list is leaving out plenty.

) as one of my "Make Me Smile" songs. And there's nothing wrong with your avatar as far as I can see. Trust me, we're not that critical.
