Skata

Arrgh. Kazaa woes tonight, and the curse of not really knowing the titles of songs I wanted to download. Caught up with Green Day and Athlete songs, as well as the excellent “Run” from Snow Patrol. However, the success ends there…

I wish you could type something like “you know, that song with the guitar bit that’s played on that programme.”

Evil warlord saffronlie solved the dilemma of the cool Bailey’s advert song for me yesterday. Started downloading it; computer decided to switch itself off (it keeps doing that! The hell?) Now I have half of the song, but crucially the cool chorus.

After seeing that half-arsed production of Antony and Cleopatra with jaffacakequeen a couple of weeks ago (dear reader, you should be so grateful that I didn’t have use of my LJ then) I’ve wanted to download some Greek/Arabic music.

Music downloaded so far:

O Deftera
(Never on a Sunday in disguise!) Bizarrely, Deftera means “Monday.” Went into rage at discovering trite annoying song upon pressing play.

Egyptian Drums
Unsurprisingly, a lot of drum-banging. D’oh! This one went straight to trash.

Arabic belly dance
See above, except this is less drums than random drumming on saucepans. Will be good for crazy dance exercises, though.

Opa, Opa (Arabian Version.)
Sublimely tacky Eurovision-esque song with strained Greek vocals. “Yassoo, yassoo,” cries strained male singer. Excellent. Will burn it for a CD for the holiday in May in order to drive Chris mad. >:)

Man, I wish I could search for “cool ancient desert tunes.” Am idiot.
