LJ is very quiet in my corner these days but I'm totally stealing stormwreath's idea of music meme !

Can you guess 20 of songs(in English) that I often play on my computer, from the first two lines (or the first two lines of the chorus if the title appears int he first two lines of the song)? Gimme the title, the artist and if possible, the album.

Turns out that four of them are Buffy-related and one is Dollhouse-related!

1. When the wind blows and the rain feels cold /With a head full of snow
2. There's always a party on a funeral row, where the cross flashes red to the street.
3. The dance of the puppets /The rusted chains of prison moons
5. Maybe I didn't love you quite as good as I should have, maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as I could have,
6. It's a god-awful small affair/to the girl with a mousy hair
7. Before you slip into unconsciousness/I'd like to have another kiss
8. Oh, Mario,/Sit here by the window;
9. Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go/just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane
10. I bruise you, you bruise me/we both bruise too easily
11. Out on the wiley, windy moors/Wed roll and fall in green.
12. this is what you get/ this is what you get,
13. Every man has a place, in his heart theres a space/And the world cant erase his fantasies
14. A stoness throw from Jerusalem/ I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
15. Waking to these sounds again / I wonder how I'll sleep
16. Holding hands/Skipping like a stone/On our way/To see what we have done
17. I'm coming up only to hold you under/ I'm coming up only to show you wrong
18. Well you can bump and grind/ If it's good for your mind
19. No one knows what its like/To be the bad man
20. When I look up from my pillow/ I dream you are there with me


ETA - songs already guessed are in italics.

Just a few thoughts on episode 3 of Dollhouse before signing off to have a relaxing bath.

( Spoilers if you haven't seen it )

I'm caught up with my Friday's American tv shows, that are BSG , Battlestar Galactica and Terminator: The Sarah Connors Chronicles (yes that's a new addiction...I'm weak).

Let's start with BSG...

( Deadlock )

Didn't Ellen Tigh say that Saul had been frakking a doll ?

( The target )

Before signing off, here are some thoughts on Terminator: The Sarah Connors Chronicles

( Read more... )

So I've seen the pilot. I didn't dislike it, it wasn't bad at all, it was rather...efficient and entertaining, but I wasn't impressed. Unlike Whedon's previous tv shows it didn't look that special and refreshing. First episodes are often flawed and weaker than the rest of the season with Joss Whedon but usually a pilot is promising still; it tells us that what we are going to watch is original and unconventional. These are words I wouldnt use for Dollhouse despite the concept the show is based on. However because it's Joss I will give it some time and will stick on. Not sure it's the right "genre" for him though.

I still have big reservations about Eliza Dushku for the role. She tries a lot and does her best but she lacks something and I could not believe in her character either when imprinted or in childlike state. I was feeling a bit like the father who told Echo that he wanted her to make him believe in her, I wanted to be fooled...except I didn't get to be fooled. I don't know how to say it well but the thing is I could see her trying new attitudes, trying to put expressions on her face but she wasn't expressive at all at the end of the day. It was as if she was trying to be this and that but didn't believe it herself. The opposite of Echo's storyline! All I saw was the acting without the miraculous outcome that makes you forget it is an act; the magic didn't work.  Also I think she should work on the way she moves and stands, because it's always the same way no matter what and who she's supposed to be. The other female characters, who aren't the lead, delivered though. The male actors aren't bad either.

And the highlight of the episode was the first Tahmoh scene. *points icon made by moscow_watcher *

 It was good to see him since Helo has been missing in action on Battlestar Galactica lately. I may sound biased here, but I do think that Tahmoh Penikett is much more than a tall hunk with finely chiselled features. He has charisma and acting skill that provide the magic I was talking about earlier. On BSG he made gold out of any little screen times he got.
