Mmmm, pretty colors.

(Sigh. I wish for pretty colors right now. As it stands, they are only in my imagination. But this music is making me wish for cause to trip-report.)

Today, I purchased not one but three Massive Attack CDs, because well, Borders is having a 3-for-2 sale and I am a sucker for music. I'd never heard anything by them except the stuff Tracey Thorn guested on; but I'd finally heard too much about them from various friends, and got sufficiently curious to spend money I don't have on music.

Holy god. blue lines was hooray, and now Mezzanine is totally hooray! I was warned by [livejournal.com profile] fennel to not listen to Protection first, no idea why - but it's next on the list.

Mmm. Happyveek. Music good. Missing physical people presence now, it is difficult to be in this sort of mood and be unable to share it.

Also, see some test results.

My sphere is Guardian (Person of great Love and Altruism), and my class is Arms Master (Pragmatic and Stout).

I am a Guard.

You are a true, versatile guard. You have a defensive nature, that is, you are good at instilling a sense of security in the places around you. A strong presence weakens any possible threats around you, and a swift, practical approach to the problems that crop up puts them down before they can get out of hand.

What kind of Warrior are you?

Also, I only fight dirty because I've been taught to. First law of jitsu: cheat like a bitch, because dying honourably is really fucking stupid.

Well, I am a cross between:

My sphere is Guardian (Person of great Love and Altruism), and my class is Defender (Peaceful, yet Potent).

I am a Warden.

To be a Warden is to be the ultimate Guardian. Whether a physical Guardian or an essential Guardian, is up to you. You may be both. To be a physical Guardian is to be a living, breathing testament to the love you carry for a person, or people, whose lives you will always defend if you possibly can. To be an essential Guardian is to be a living, breathing testament to the security that your wards seek, and will look to you for your always kind, always nurturing support.

What kind of Warrior are you?




and


My sphere is Knight (Know Loyalty and Respect), and my class is Defender (Peaceful, yet Potent).

I am a Retainer.

To be a Retainer is to be the ultimate Knight. When the kings of old were threatened, or faced with any obstacle of special note, it was the Retainer they called upon to act in the liege's name. To be an excellent Retainer is to bring great honor to yourself and those you work for, while instilling happiness and security in the people around you.

What kind of Warrior are you?




Just to be awkward.

"teardrop."

'nuff said.

Geeze, if I'd known you'd never heard them, I'd've forced it on you ages ago.

"Protection" is their weakest album but, ironically, their best song.

Now you need to buy everything by:

Tricky
Morcheeba
Kruder and Dorfmeister
Bomb the Bass
Finley Quaye

In that order.

You're forgived, darlin', as you and I have hardly hung out. Indeed, we've been in each other's physical vicinity, what, three, four times in as many years? Not that I like that, you see.

Someone over here is already threatening me with Tricky. Oddly, this is someone with whom I'll be staying for a couple of weeks just before I come back to the States. Besides being damn thankful, I'm now excited to hear Tricky. And all of those other people, of course.

After you hear and love Tricky, you have to watch The Fifth Element to watch him say "I am Korben Dallas."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Whatever you do, don't (http://slut.org/t5e.txt) see The Fifth Element!

I need to get out more

I've never heard of Massive Attack (obviously I'm not talking to the right people), but you inspired me to listen to clips on CDNow. Wow! Phenomenal! I am smitten.

I wish you were here with us! I wish we could teleport back and forth to each other.

Ah, I only said not to *buy* Protection first, because it's not as good as the others. I hold no opinion about which order one should listen to all three in if one has already committed to owning all of them.

And you want to start from the beginning with Tricky... consensus about whether he's still any good or not decreases slightly with every album he puts out. (The last one finally broke my back due to the appearance of the fucking Red Hot Chili Peppers.)
