I already blogged about my early morning habits,
thought I'd post one about things I do late at night.

Since I'm currently doing them.

If I don't stay up too late, I try and go to bed.
But sometimes, I can't sleep.
So, I listen to some music.
But usually, I get bored with it and get back up out of bed
and crawl over to the computer.
Or in this case, climb over the back of a chair in the mostly darkness to get
to the desk that I cleared off earlier so that I could
use it and make some pins.
You can check those over at thisiswhatafashionbloglookslike.
Anyway.
I will also mention that I found my FAD cd on the desk, beneath the corpse bride DVD.
Which is amazing, and I'm very happy.

Anyway.
So, I'll update my song selection.
Sometimes this means wiping the whole MP3
and loading it up again with about half the songs I already had
and maybe 10 new ones, or just adding on and sifting through the crap
I don't really want.
Tonight, it's the second one.

Sometimes, the late night music fix raid includes
downloading new stuff, which I am doing now for
listening tomorrow, or if I decide to actually
listen to it before then, for when I'm in bed.

This late night music fix raid also includes a skim through of
gaiaonline's music forum, and then a more extensive browse through of my last.fm
recommendations.

Right now I know a few of the things I'll be putting on.
They include:

'Alaska' - Camera Obscura.
'Hurrican Haley' - Forever the Sickest Kids.
'Crash Into Me' - Dave Mathews Band.
'Postcards' - An Horse.
'Come as you Were' & 'La La La' - The Bird and the Bee.
'I don't know if I'll be back this time' & ' I made a resolution' & 'Leaves in the River' - Sea Wolf.
'Click Click Click Click' - Bishop Allen.
'Can You Tell?' - Ra Ra Riot.
'Hearts of Iron' - Handsome Furs.
'Catch My Fall' - Katy Rose.


Some things I know are already on there:

'I'm A Broken Heart' & 'Polite Dance Song' - The Bird and The Bee.
'Saying Goodbye' - Matt White.
'Don't Give A Damn' - Chairlift
Various things by Sea Wolf, Lydia, Dear and the Headlights and Okkervil River.
'Love is A place' - Metric.

I'll browese my last.fm recs now, and let you know if I find anything that sounds interesting.

Last.fm finds that have yet to be heard;

The Broken West,
Patrick Wolf,
Taken By Trees,
Hello Kelly.

I get kind of sad when I find a new song of artist I enjoy.
Me and Tany would always talk about those things,
and she would quite willingly listen to whatever I put forth,
and even asked for recs all the time and integrated things I'd
found into her regular listen schedule.
Now, I don't really have anyone to share with.
Everyone else makes it out like a chore when I get them
to listen to something or tell them to look something up,
so there isn't any point in it. Most of the time it doesn't get
listened to or looked up anyway, so.

I tried listening to music with my mom, but she likes to talk alot, and doesn't exactly pause
to listen, just kind of pretends while she waits until she can finish with what she was saying.
Jenn wouldn't be interested at all,and James is constantly making fun of my musical choices
when he hears even a small part of it. So family isn't an option at all, really.
Like in most things, of course.

I'm making do, though.
If everyone wants to miss out, that's their own fault.

I don't even think I'm going to bother listing off the other tracks I'll be adding,
there won't be much point.

Good night.
