Taking a break from essay work.

No, really. I've got essay work from which to take a break.

Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Name 5 songs you love starting with that letter.
I asked [livejournal.com profile] katernater and got D, and then went ahead and picked ten. And this is just from what I have on my computer, without browsing through my CDs - otherwise I might have ended up with 20, easy.

Decauter - Sufjan Stevens - the banjo is a deeply underused instrument in modern pop music.

December In New York - Thea Gilmore - if anyone wants to call fireflies 'fairy lights', it's fine by me.

Deep Red Bells - Neko Case - it'll send shivers up your spine and make you ask for more.

Delia - Bob Dylan - something that sounds like the way rain falling on windows on cold dark days looks like.

Diamond Dogs - Beck - paints a terrifying picture that the original didn't think to, but still needs more cowbell.

Disconnected - Cowboy Mouth - this is one of those songs that demands you sing along, or at least dance to it.

Distant Sun - Crowded House - they're right, sometimes there isn't anybody to blame, and it's good to have a reminder.

Don't Look Down - The Divine Comedy - who needs rhyme schemes when you can carry a decent narrative?

Don't Rain On My Parade - John Barrowman - I can't help but smile when I hear this.

Driftwood - Travis - more genuine emotion in three-and-a-half minutes than most movies coming out these days.

Ooh, I'll play! :-)

And thanks for the links. I snagged a couple.

I'm going to have to listen to that one. John Barrowman cracks me up in general.

It's a jolly, swanky song, and I think you're going to love it.

Would you like a letter?

R is a good letter. Thanks!

I'd love a letter.

And I will come back and listen to some of these tomorrow. Beck doing David Bowie?

How about V?

Yep, Beck doing David Bowie. I've also got Bowie doing Springsteen, if you're interested.
