free music ...if you can endure a bit of fannish warbling...

1. "All These Things That I Have Done" by The Killers - My new Naruto/Sasuke/BabyNinja/Leaf theme song.

[Naruto]
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out

[Sasuke]
And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

[all the ninjas of Konoha, babyninjas, notsobabyninjas, on and on]
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier (x10)
...
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

2. "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance - My new Logan Echolls theme song. Yup. Veronica Mars must be my new tv fandom if I'm picking out songs.

[Logan]
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed
I'm okay
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay

observe my bitter ranting on a movie I haven't even seen yet. but I want to. Fuck you Peter Jackson!

I've got my parents set to go see Hitchhiker's Guide this weekend with me. Either Saturday or Sunday, we're going.

My mom doesn't wanna go... she's afraid of disappointment.

This has forced me to fall into the cheerleader role over the last few months. I mean, we can't *both* be the disappointed-before-we-even-get-there one.

So... fuck. Don't disappoint me, movie.

DON'T DISAPPOINT ME!

Fucking Peter Jackson. I swear if it were for your damn movies I would never have the kind of expectations I can't help but have. Fuck you Peter Jackson! You ruined book adaptations for me! I'm gonna, like, have EXPECTATIONS and shit! I can't go back to the cynic that I was! I'm ruined! Fuck you!


... Hitchhiker's Guide, please don't disappoint me. I mean, I know you won't be LOTR, but you could at least be kinda cool and funny.

At least I'll have Serenity to fall back on.

political music makes the Chibi!Kyo icon sleep happy.

Lately I've been listening to American Idiot.

I like this more than anything I've liked from Green Day since Dookie.

I love the fact that it feels like an album, a well thought out collection of songs with linked themes and motifs and it all fits together in a specific order. A lot of times CDs end up just being a collection of whatever songs they have out at the same time. I like it, though, when albums have that kind of cohesive togetherness. It's not the kind of one where I want to break it up and keep only a few favorite songs.

Given the political introspective nature of all of American Idiot, I can't help but wonder if "Wake Me Up When September Ends" is talking about the long shadow of 9/11. Has this been talked about by the band anywhere?
