1. If you'd like to play along, reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. You then list at least five songs that start with that letter.
3. Then, as I'm doing here, you'll post the list to your journal with the instructions.

fairestcat gave me F. All links, they go to YouTube. Weirdly skewed towards old-people music for some reason.

Famous Blue Raincoat, Leonard Cohen
Fat El Meead, Oum Kalthoum
Fearless, VNV Nation
Fields of Athenry, Dropkick Murphys
Floorshow, Sisters of Mercy
Flower Lady, Phil Ochs
Flowers From Exile, Rome
Folsom Prison Blues, Johnny Cash
Four Horsemen, Aphrodite's Child
Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, Neko Case
Free Satpal Ram, Asian Dub Foundation
Frank's Wild Years, Tom Waits

I am generally rather pleased with it.

"Music? Can't abide the stuff. What's your favourite colour?"

Plus one, please?

Free Satpal Ram! That takes me back. I remember collecting signatures at school for that campaign. You can give me a letter if you like.

[sabotabby]

I don't think his case was really much of a thing here. I only know about it because of the song. ADF aren't even really a big thing here unless you're political and/or South Asian. (I don't know why—their songs have good lyrics and you can dance to them.)

Okay, P.

Ha! I joke that Sio's music has too many chainsaws for my taste. And chainsaw... starts with a 'C'. Dun-dun-dun.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I'm adding Chainsaw Kittens to my list just for you.

[franklanguage.livejournal.com]

Is it skewed towards old cuz... we're old???

[sabotabby]

Obviously.

I went down the list hoping you secretly spelled out something... Like maybe "Fuck Maggie" or something. Of course, considering I got T, that kind of blew that plan out if I had given it 2 seconds of thought...

[sabotabby]

I realized after a bit that I should have spelled something out, but I'd already got started.

[sadwizardscrypt.livejournal.com]

I like your taste in music (especially Tom Waits), but I also see some names on that list I don't know/have heard of but haven't listened to anything by them, so I'll listen to them! I'm listening to Flowers from Exile and it sounds really good. Thank you for posting these.

And I want a letter :D

[sabotabby]

Rome is pretty awesome. If you're into that kind of thing, I highly recommend Eigengrau, which has the distinction of being one of the rare podcasts I actually listen to.

E!

[jenlight.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me!
