My gmail's been sending out mail linking to emiliyauxeadomed at blogspot. I've changed my password, run a virus scan, and thrown Malwarebytes at the problem. Hopefully, it'll fix it. It ought to, but I'm nervous. Keep in mind, I'll never send you a link without explaining exactly what's in it, and probably in great detail. Also, I'll sign my name.

I'm very sorry about this, everyone.

In the meantime, here are some safe links for you.

The Vitamin String Quartet covers Lady Gaga Not all of her songs, but the more popular/well known ones. Their rendition of "Eh Eh" and "Alejandro" are great favorites of mine.
The Vitamin String Quartet
Most of 'em ripped by me, but one of them I actually bought! That one was "House of Cards", a song I have never heard in the original version, but love in this version. I have not decided yet if I want to hear the original version because I like not knowing the lyrics.

NPR's Top 25 Songs of 2008 I haven't listened to all of the songs yet. I tried, but got stuck on "White Winter Hymnal", which is just... unf.

NPR's Top 30 Songs of 2009: To call one’s self “weird” or “odd” is re-e-eally pretentious for a Klosterman of reasons, but I know I have weird tastes in music. It doesn’t follow much of a pattern. I’m picky, and I don’t know if anyone would like my current favorite songs.

Except for people who listen to NPR! In 2009, I downloaded the NPR top thirty songs of 2009 and I’m still blown away by all of them.
*I’d never play “Sleepyhead” or “Knotty Pine” for anyone because I have a hard time imagining I’m not the only one that doesn’t find the voices irritating
*Wilco (The Song) and Heads Will Roll sound like they’d be boring, but they’re wonderful
*I can’t even listen to French Navy because it makes me so happy that it hurts
*They grow on you. I wasn’t sure about Summertime Clothes, but it’s growing on me. Suspect I might’ve just psyched myself into it.
*Andrew Bird’s “Oh No” is another one of those songs that depresses me but I keep going back to it.

This is the best music collection since “Before These Crowded Streets”.Shaddap, I like Dave Matthews Band

I'd use up all the ♥ in the internet if I were to express my joy at what you're sharing here.

A big fan of Lady Gaga or of NPR? If it's of NPR, let me just say that I severely recommend the 2009 songs because they are just THE BEST.

((Here from RP!S?))

Hee. See the comment below. Big fan of the Vitamin String Quartet, actually!

...and the thought of Rudy listening to Lady Gaga is some AMAZING CRACK come to think of it.

Thank you for the music! ♥

OH! Oh that was you! Ok, well, question still stands!
I am also a fan of Lady Gaga, yes.

It's ok! I actually edited the entry, too, adding my own thoughts now that I'm mostly over my fear/paranoia over what to do about the gmail thing. I'm just wondering if I should send a mass "I'm Sorry!" E-mail or if that'll be just as annoying or... yeah -.- It's making me very unhappy.

I'm not sure what would be best... maybe just figure out who's been sent the link and email them apologizing? I can't see how it'd hurt, though.

(also FUCK YEAH DAVE MATTHEWS)

I feel like the only one who likes him sometimes! Oh man, oh, man, if you download the Top 30 songs, you've gotta tell me if you like them and which you like! 'Cause if you like them, then we'll probably be Music Biffies! And like I said, I am verrrrrry picky and fussy about music.

Thank you for music. I really really need music right now.

Did something sad/upsetting happen? :(

My cat died Friday. I'm still all weepy about it. :\ He would have appreciated the Gaga, though.

Oh, man! I'm sorry about that, Chim. I know the pain of losing pets. Cats especially.

Aaaah thank you so much (got here thru ONTD_creepy, by the way).
I share your aprehension about playing Knotty Pine for other people...I am in love with Knotty Pine but I hate Sleepyhead, go figure.

You heard the collection, too? This makes me smile so hard!

Yeah, both are just the types of songs that you know have annoying vocals, but... but for some reason there's something about them. I think I just associate Sleepyhead with the good times I had when I first downloaded and listened to this mix.

I get the All Songs Considered music podcast, it's the source of like half my favorite bands. They told me I should listen to Andrew Bird.
Also, I listen to a lot of folk punk which is famous for really irritating vocals, so my tolerance is rather high.

I'm really enjoying the Vitamin String Quartet. And I'm a fan of NPR, so their top song albums are always awesome. I actually had a few of the songs already (Sigur Ros!!), but I'll enjoy listening to the new stuff!
