In an attempt to spread the love of Bic Runga overseas, I've sent [livejournal.com profile] bad_mushroom half a dozen assorted Bic Runga tunes hoping to create a fangirl. :) I YSI'd them, so if anyone else wants a clicky or two: (all in mp3 except for Gracie which is m4a)

Sorry
This is a song from her first album "Drive" which is much more rock-y than most of her stuff; I like it because it's fun, and sent it off because it's different.

Sway
This is also from "Drive", and it's the song that made Bic famous. It's universally loved and very awesome. :P

Delight
This is "Delight", which is the last "Drive" song I sent. It's different from.. pretty much anything. I'm sending it because it's totally GORGEOUS and very, very good. :P Mind you, I think everything she does is good.

The Be All and End All
This is from her second album "Beautiful Collisions." She kind of changed her style for that album; I sent this one because you said you liked folk, and this one is sort-of folky. Although maybe it's more country. ;) Anyway, it's cool.

Election Night
This is "Election Night" which is my favourite song off "Beautiful Collisions." It's very different in tone to "The Be All and End All," it's way more... lush, I guess. (Actually there are some versions of some of her songs that she did with the Christchurch Symphony that are STUNNINGLY gorgeous but I haven't got them on the computer. There's this one that actually uses timpani _playing the tune_. It's SO awesome. Anyway.) Where was I? Oh yeah, "Election Night". It might be kind of poppy, I don't know, but I like it. :)

Gracie
Windows Media Player will play m4a, if you're wondering.
This is Gracie, which is from the Beautiful Collision bonus disc. It's one of my favourite of her more rare tunes, I don't know why- well, yes I do, it's because it reveals this really nice eye for detail and daily life which I love in both poetry and lyrics. So yeah. :)

Enjoy, all! :)

I've also posted my third [livejournal.com profile] fanfic100 piece: Poetry and Practice, which "When She Glows" was supposed to be companion to. P&P was beta'd SUPERBLY by [livejournal.com profile] chattycheese and [livejournal.com profile] dragonwire, to whom all praise and adoration. XD

...And they're all really nice! I think I like her. Not a fangirl yet, but probably will be soon :)

I downloaded "Sway." It, uh. It's really addictive. I think this is the fourth time in the last half hour that I've played it. Thank you. I think.

My work here is done.

Seriously, it is the ultimate Bic tune. EVERYONE knows it here. EVERYONE. *thoroughly amused* Maybe it will TAKE OVER THE US TOO.

You're just converting everyone aren't you?
*hugs* for that....
now I'm off to listen to the ones you gave me..

Yeah, 'cause I? Am soopah-cool. XD You should snag these ones too if you haven't got them...

What gave you the idea that I didn't snag them already? :D
I still have that Cabaret song you wanted by the way...
