Think of a song that you like (or that you think a fellow member would like) and recommend it to them/send them a Youtube link.

This could work!
Though I have nothing of value to add at this time I will keep my eyes open for an opportunity.
I'm not sure if we're allowed to post Youtube links (?), but I'm going to chance it, at risk of being told off.
Before I begin, I just wanted to point out that these aren't messages through the lyrics... in most cases.
:)
Dear LimaJean,
The Rifles - She's got Standards
Dear Dori,
Sergeant - K OK
Dear Sprinks,
The Last Shadow Puppets - Standing Next to Me
Dear TheInsomniac,
Kate Nash - The Nicest Thing
Heyyy

So far that is
Aww cool!! Thanks heaps LadyW! :) I love it! :D
For you I send Steal My Sunshine by Len, because of our conversation before :D
Haha :lol: I remember this song!Quote:

Ooh, I love Mariella; I was going to send it to Sprinks... but I wanted a little variety amongst my choices, haha.
I think my favourite would have to be... Mouthwash.
I didn't at first and then a good friend of mine, who I never thought would like her, told me to listen again. And I did because well, he stocks half my ipod hah - and I loved her.
Plus, someone er, who used to be close to me said I reminded him of that song. And it grew on me ever since.
LadyW, youtube Fiona Apple - Not about love

Plus her voice is amazing.
Yeah, 90s pop! :D:thumbs_up:lol:. Ahhh, that song makes me nostalgic :D
that's my favourite by her too :D. I always thought she was Lily Allen :p. I also like Pumpkin Soup - it's catchy :p:DQuote:

Such a fierce and assertive voice she has.
hmmm.... I send Hold Music by Architecture In Helsinki to Niamh, because that video clip is bright and random, and I love the song - it makes me happy, and so does she! :D
And I send Taxi Driver by Gym Class Heroes to limajean. The quality isn't that good, but I chose this song 1. because I like it :D. 2. because it is full of band references (I think there's 30 band names mentioned?) and you're always recommending books and talking about music and things. It seems logical in my mind :p. Also I love the video to it. Those were the days, before they got big. I love their older work so much better.
:lol: thats one crazy vid! Big Hug Sprinks! I'm gonna have to think of one for you now!Quote:

Youtube - Big Empty by the Stone Temple Pilots
I was singing along to this song and I was like... "wait! Ninja turtles? Where have I heard of them lately?!" And then I remembered lima's avatar :D
So I send Catch Me If You Can by Gym Class Heroes to lima, because of the bit: "... from the age of nintendo, transformers, ninja turtles, hungry hippos..." :D
:D TRANSFORMERS! WOOOOOO
Friend of mine has a yellow car, I call it his bumblebee :D
haha cool :D. I love the Transformers movie
going on with my Gym Class Heroes reminding me of people theory, I send Like Father, Like Son (Papa's Song) to Virgil, because when I hear them sing "Papa was a rollin' stone, but I wanna be the cover of a rollin' stone. Only I know that I cant do it alone, only I know that I can't do it alone." I think of his love of the Rolling Stones :D
Ha I haven't listened to REM in a while.Quote:
