A Rose Soundtrack! And other music!
I've been meaning to post this for a while:
Soundtrack for A Rose (In Another Man's Garden) and The Edible Man
ETA-2: Okay, so ALL the individual download links expired, but I will make sure to keep the zip alive! If you want songs a la carte, drop me a comment and I'll upload the ones you want. :D
The track that may just have inspired it all...
Jarvis Cocker/Nu Forest/The Pastels - I Picked A Flower
I found a rose in another man's garden/She was flowering all alone/Undervalued and unappreciated/I knew I had to take her home
Gorillaz - O Green World
O green world/Don't desert me now/I'm made of you and you of me
The Rapture - Live In Sunshine
Live in sunshine/I'll be there/I'll be waiting
Paul Weller - Sunflower
And how I long for that sharp wind/To take my breath away again/I'd run my fingers through your hair/Hair like a wheatfield I'd run through
Tom Waits - Green Grass
Lay your head where my heart used to be/Hold the earth above me/Lay down in the green grass/Remember when you loved me
Veruca Salt - Forsythia
Yellow daisy/a dandelion/or a pussy willow/it's a different thing
The Jam - Carnation
I trample down all life in my wake/I eat it up and take the cake/I just avert my eyes to the pain/Of someone's loss helping my gain
Blur - Daisy Bell
There is a flower within my heart/Daisy, Daisy/planted one day by a glancing dart/planted by Daisy Bell
American Beauty OST - A Rose
Finley Quaye - Sunday Shining
Sun is shining/The weather is sweet/Makes you wanna move/Those dancing feet/To the rescue
The New Pornographers - My Rights Versus Yours
Under your wheels, the hope of spring/mirage of loss/a few more things/You left your sorrow dangling/It hangs in air like a school cheer
Pansy Division - Flower
Your face reminds me of a flower/kind of like you're underwater/hair's too long and in your eyes/your lips are a perfect 'suck me' size
Aqueduct - As You Wish
As you wish/Hearts and candy glitter and gold/is what/I'm dreamin' of/As you wish/Reeses peanut butter cup/is what/I'm waitin' for
Smashing Pumpkins - Sweet Sweet
Sweet sweet sweet sweet little agony/I don't know just where you've been/But I'll take take take/All that you have for me/In sin
58 MB Zip File! ETA: Finally re-upped as of 12/3/07
Phew! I think I've got the rose-verse outta my system for a while...

Okay, there are two other free music things you should download, FOR SERIOUS:
1. If you have a facebook, go join the Apple Students Group, because they are offering a free Sub-Pop sampler (iTunes required, Mac or PC) and you get as a bonus track Patton Oswalt's rant on KFC bowls which has me in stitches. STITCHES.
2. The peeps at adult swim have put together an AMAZING mix called "Warm and Scratchy" which is free to download here. [AUTOPLAY WARNING! If you can't blast music at the moment, mute your compy before you click, k?]
It features artists like TV on the Radio, The Rapture, Asobi Seksu, Broken Social Scene, The Raveonettes, The Good the Bad and the Queen, etc.
Have a lovely weekend full of music!
