Teach Rashaka to appreciate foreign music!

[timepiececlock]

I decided to do what octopedingenue did a while ago and make a non-English international languages mix CD.

So, I am looking for suggestions!

Here's what I have so far:

French

Placebo - "Protège-Moi"
Pink Martini - "Sympathique" (providing I can still find it on my comp...)


Japanese

Michiru Oshima & BEPA - "Brothers" from the Full Metal Alchemist soundtrack
"Sound Life" from the Trigun soundtrack


Unknown

Metisse - "Boom Boom Ba" from Dead Like Me soundtrack (thank you d_irge!)




Obviously, I need a lot more recs. And I know there's a few folks on my flist not from America or the UK, so it's time to face the music.

Those all sound cool. Do you know if any of those I can get on legal download sites?

Re: Okay...

[girlwithjournal.livejournal.com]

I can send them to you. Is the e-mail in your bio correct?

I also thought of a couple Italian ones. Would you like those, too?

Re: Okay...

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

yes! Italian! I don't have any Italian songs. and yes, its the correct email.

Re: Okay...

All right, I just sent you an obscene number of songs. I just hope I didn't break yousendit and/or your e-mail.

Re: Okay...

I've been getting and obscene number. I'm shocked and delighted and amazing. Except the part where I'm crying on the side about Full Metal Alchemist but that's nothing new so just know that I am amazed and very touched that you decided to send so many.

Re: Okay...

It was my pleasure - I'd send you my whole library if I could. (Only it's 4,000 songs, so not so much.)

And I'm sorry about your FMA angst. You realize you're not selling this show at all? I mean, at first I was intrigued, but now that I see what you're going through, I'm TERRIFIED.

It's the best anime I've ever seen.

For all that it hurts me, it also makes me smile and laugh a lot which is why when the hurting comes it really hurts because I love everyone on this show *so* much, be they good or evil or just a random delivery person.

I wish it would last forever. I don't know if that's a good selling point or not, but... I do.
