Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine So, what are you listening to?

Heard this on a commercial. Liked it.

I'm on a Disney nostalgia kick now. Little Mermaid, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hercules, Tarzan.

And now I'm in the final stretch, listening to Morrissey's output from the past ten years.

I had hoped that if I had the stomach to listen to "Kill Uncle" in its entirety that I could do the same with "Years of Refusal", but I couldn't. ("Years of Refuse", more like.)

But, in the interest of covering every era of Morrissey, here's a B-side from the "Years of Refusal" sessions that's far superior to anything on the album proper. It was one of the last songs that Alain Whyte wrote with Morrissey before they regrettably parted ways.

And, finally, two songs from Morrissey's most recent album, bringing us to 2014.

The first was a hard choice between "Istanbul" and "World Peace Is None of Your Business", but I ultimately decided that since I had already posted the latter in the Your Latest Favorite Song thread, I should post the former here.

And I end this project with a reminder that Morrissey is every bit as witty as he is depressing.

...and the last of the pre Fatboy Slim Cook Triptych ...

That's kind of funny that you posted "Happy Hour," thotkins. We had a "team outing" today and towards the end I was suddenly alone with my boss, my old boss, and their boss. They'd all had a few drinks and were making dinner plans for places that are probably a little to posh for my salary. At least they're really good people to work for and my boss is pretty hilarious with a few drinks in her. It wasn't as bad as in the song, but I can still relate.

I was lucky enough that my night out on Friday was a standard few drinks after work in a place I really like. Anything more organised than that gets me thinking of Happy Hour.

For no reason I can think of, this song was going through my head for hours today while I was inventorying my comics:

I've been listening to OMD's Dazzle Ships album from 1983.

The dB's - The Sound of Music - they should have been bigger than they were. This one traded the quirky power pop of their first couple albums for a more traditional rock sound that would have probably been pretty radio friendly if it had come out in 1994 instead of 1987. Peter Holsapple could write uptempo songs, sad songs and funny songs, sometimes all at once.

I haven't been able to find my CD of it in a couple years and because I am a big dork about internet I just realized I could find it on Spotify. So next up on the parade of stuff Matt lost, Husker Du - Warehouse: Songs and Stories.

In an embrace of my Latin roots, I give you...OLGA.

And now, appropriately enough for Halloween night, I'm listening to Italo-Horror movie themes.

Not sure why Godspeed You! Black Emperor seems like such appropriate music for a dreary day after Halloween, but it does.

Some scary tracks from Fickles. Oh wait, that was the Olga one...

LOL

She's a camp icon in the making, for sure.
