"So you don't know where you're going and you want to talk?"

[raven]

I uploaded this for purplerainbow not long ago, and as not to waste the upload, here 'tis:

Indigo Girls - Watershed. It's a good song, an old favourite. And while I'm at it:

Coldplay - Talk

This hasn't been a single as far as I know - I've taken it off X&Y - and oh, my, it's beautiful. Has a world-filling, epic feel to it. Lovely.

Ryan Adams - Dear Chicago

I've been listening to this whole album a lot lately, and this is an executed-in-two-minutes slice of perfection.

Pulp - Disco 2000

Ahem. I blame tunedinto1973.

David Bowie - Life On Mars

Yes. Because. And now every time I hear it, I now to burst into tears for no reason, because it's true: they only play it at the really desperately sad bits. Waaaah. Why are the seventies such a good decade for fandom crossovers? I have a strange desire to write fic where Sirius, Remus and James go to a Brian Slade concert and meet Giles and Ethan and a young Daniel Jackson who help them gatecrash a party hosted by Anthony J. Crowley, at which point they all get arrested by Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt for indecent exposure and the Doctor and Rose have to save the day.

[Edited to add: Have just rememebered that Daniel was fourteen in 1979. Maybe he hitched a lift with the Doctor and Rose....]

Um. Moving on. I'm looking for these, if anyone has them:

James Blunt - You're Beautiful (shush)
James Blunt - Wise Men
Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing (because I have no idea where mine has got to)
John Lennon - Imagine (again, because I'm lost mine and Pedar is complaining)
Anything at all by Cream or Eric Clapton, except The White Room and Layla.

Comment if you like 'em. *g*

You're Beautiful (http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=106TO33BAWX4Y056SJGLJXIDEX), and Wise Men (http://s52.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0FNB5Z809MNV12M7X050MS00RD).

Umm, my sister has the album.

(Also, i was talking to a friend the other day, who knows someone else in Balliol doing PPE! I think he was called Sam, and had some funny double-barreled surname, i didn't quite catch it.)

Thank you very much! *downloads*

Sam Fenton-Whittet, could it be? Who's the friend? *g*

[mettanna.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, that sounds about right! The friend is a girl called Alex Corwin, i'm not sure how well she knows him, but she certainly knows of him.

ALEX v. short-hair good dress sense?!

[mettanna.livejournal.com]

Um, her hair's almost shoulder length, and i couldn't say about her dress sense - i usually see her in jeans and a hoodie! She does German and politics, do you know her?

[ceciley.livejournal.com]

Damn, not her then. I got all excited at the mention of Sam F-W in conjunction with a female Alex ...

[ceciley.livejournal.com]

I think I know Sam Fenton-Whittet! I really really do. Does he do Debating? That's how I know him. And I think he's blonde, right?

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

You're kidding. Yep, blonde and does debating. How do you know him?

[ceciley.livejournal.com]

I only know him very very slightly through debating - he organised a competition in Cambridge last year which I attended (Hills Road) - and he is friends with a good friend of mine (Tara, ginger - I don't suppose you know her? She's not an undergrad: she's doing a DPhil at St Anthonys, so on balance I guess not), so I've been at parties with him and stuff. Eeee, that's so exciting! Now I'm trying to think of other debaters you might know, but I've never clocked their colleges ...
