there's a salsa version of Coldplay's "Clocks"

yes, it's no April Fools joke, it's true. ever since I've re-discovered the lovely Capital FM in London, England, they've really wowed me with the latest and greatest music in the world.

here are a few songs they've introduced me to that have ended up being (or will soon be) international smash hits. if ever you've wondered what I listen to, this is it. if there's an asterik beside the song, it means it's particularly amazing/beautiful... I'm trying to omit the "major hits" that everyone already knows about, because what's the fun in that?

* Seamus Haji - last night a dj saved my life
Booty Luv - boogie tonite (seamus haji remix)
* Ghosts - stay the night
* Mark Ronson - stop me
Keane - bad dream
Paolo Nutini - new shoes
*** Siobhan Donaghy - don't give up (BEAUTIFUL...the song and artist both)

anyway. that's that. um, friday five now. as us.

1. If you had to choose being blind or deaf, what would you choose and why?

I would choose being deaf - well, "choose." No one "chooses" to be blind and/or deaf, but you know. Vision means everything to me.

2. What is the best smell?

Oh, there are so many good ones. The one I want to smell the most right now is the smell of the beach of the Irving Nature Park, or a dinner made at home.

3. Would you rather be hot or cold?

I'd rather be HOT. (No pun intended.)
Actually, being cold appeals to me more. Whatever that means, likely from a strictly aesthetic approach.

4. What's the worst feeling in the world?

There are many! But probably the worst feeling is knowing that you have hurt someone else deeply, and it's allllllllll your fault.

5. Would you rather have something hurt or something be itchy?

Itchy; anything to avoid pain.
