Random Thoughts V
Posted by Tory, October 8, 2004 on 8:00 pm | In Amusements |- Driving from Durham to Winston-Salem I passed an Embassy Suites that had the “B” light burned out. So it said “EM ASSY SUITES” in big red letters. Heh heh heh. “So whar`d you stay when you went down?” “Oh, you know, `em assy suites.” Heh.
- Good idea: storing Halloween stuffs in the attic. Bad idea: including candles in that box. Which is up there all summer. In North Carolina. Ewwww. I was able to save a ceramic candle holder, which was the only item I was worried about, so all is well. The candles even stained me inflatable pumpkin cooler so it looks way scarier. Rock. Of course, I could make it too so scary by putting Bud Light in there instead of Yuengling. Yee!
- These would make good band names:
- Page Fault and the Memory Leaks
- Critical Stop
- The Pee Shivers
- D`you think people are holding back dogs? Like, they could have developed a social system as sophisticated as ours if we hadn’t teamed up with them and used them and bred them and stuff? Maybe this is what “The Secret Lives of the Monster Dogs” is about, and I am ridiculous and unoriginal. Please advise.
- Cyndi Lauper’s “Change of Heart” could totally be a lost track from Kate Bush’s “The Red Shoes.” I think a baton got passed somewhere along the line. Cyndi Lauper is cool. Remember when that bird pooed in her mouth and she just wiped her mouth and kept singing? That was awesome. You think Lil` Flip or somebody would play through that?
- I`m thinking about making a sexy music mix, and I wouldn’t mind some suggestions. The idea is that the songs would have to be ambient and unobtrusive, and without any lyric that might make you giggle or stop and think about what you have to do at work tomorrow. And no “love you forever” stuff — this is an early stage mix — that’s why U2’s “All I Want Is You” doesn’t make the cut. You`ll notice most of my picks are by female artists, but I figger, if I`m putting on the music, it makes sense to have a female voice `n` stuff. Points for songs that build to a climax. Double points for songs I already own. Here’s what I got so far (man, I listen to girlypants music):
- Song of Solomon — Kate Bush
- Emotional — Bjork
- Mount Washington — Beth Orton
- Lover You Should Have Come Over — Jeff Buckley
- Sweet Surrender — Sarah MacLachlan
- Ghost — Live
- Spring Haze — Tori Amos
- Indifference — Pearl Jam
- Apart — Cure (or are these last two just big downers?)
- If someone enjoys gossiping *with* you *about* someone else, they`ll also enjoy gossiping *about* you *with* someone else. Gossip telegraphs asshat. Don’t get sucked into it.
- Watched the end of Titanic last night, which was good as hell and I don’t care what anybody says I totally got sneefy all over again. Also, Ioan Gruffudd was in it I swear as the lifeboat captain who goes back. IE is taking forever on this computer so I can’t bust out imDb to check, so please confirm or deny.
- I have my first class in a half an hour and I am pretty much freaking out.

Ahhhh, you read my mind. “Wicked Game” is track 5 on the final mix. And I can`t believe I forgot “Come Here Boy” by Imogen Heap which is the final word in hottness.

By the way, _Secret Lives of the Monster Dogs_ is an awesome book, although not about what you describe at all. Well worth reading, but really quite strange… David Brin, Uplift, what? Kind of a steam punk version of that, really. And who doesn`t like steam punk?

Yeah, it sure is Ioan at the end of Titanic, pretty much the first thing he did outside of the Welsh theatres. According to my mum he smells of vanilla. For the sex mix I recommend Suffocated Love by Tricky. (esp the live version), but from a male point of view I`d suggest not having ANY Dido on there. You don`t want us falling asleep at the wrong time, after all…

First time here - loving your blog and quizzes! Hmmm, sex songs….. I`d have to go with anything by Sade for that tender moment, and Nine Inch Nails “Closer” for that, well, not so tender moment.

“Get Me Off” by Basement Jaxx, but it has words. But it`s so worth it.
Also “Take My Hand,” by Dido.

Iieee by Tori Amos…. Yeah…

I`d have to suggest “Both Hands” by Ani DiFranco, cuz I`m a girl. :p No sex mix is complete without SOME Ani. Oh and, “Sexual Healing” via Ben Harper doesn`t suck. I also must recommend, “This Flood” by Steve Poltz and the Rugburns as one of the most off kilter sexiest songs ever.

Eck. You need something with a good rythm to it and deep base. Anything by Barry White, Al Green, and Luthor Vandross is good. If you plan on getting a little wild (who doesn`t enjoy some wildness?), then try something by Los Lobos (Desperado soundtrack).
Comment by F.A.Y. — December 31, 1969 #
Oh, also Ani DiFranco - Pulse.
Comment by Alena — December 31, 1969 #
Okay, the song I`m going to name doesn`t exactly fit your criteria, but all I know is I have *totally* wanted to groove to it (if you get my meaning, wink wink nudge nudge) ever since I first heard it.. Melissa Ferrick - Drive

“Love Me 2 Times” & “Touch Me Baby” by the Doors.

Don`t freak about your class. You`ll be fine. And I don`t even know you. See? That`s how fine you`ll be. How about Superheros by Esthero for your sexy mix? 6 Underground by Sneaker Pimps also has a sexy vibe as do any number of songs by Tricky, particularly on his first album and for that matter, Protection, when he was still with Massive Attack.

Slow like honey -Fiona Apple

mm! I came across this little blurb because I kept typing in keywords “sensual mix” and such and such. I`m doing the same thing, looking for the same kinds of songs. Actually, the song that inspired me to look was “Hallucination” from the Labyrinth soundtrack. It`s instrumental, and sexy in an almost-very-dark way. Anyway, good luck!
