1) Welcome back to the forum, Luz, my friend. You've been missed.

2) Lurkers and all others, please understand that the playlist Brianne is talking about is for reference to the music pulled out in my blog "Gamer Grrl in Small Doses" and is not a blanket condoning of P2P or any other file-sharing so... chill

3) For the third (or fourth?) time: Thank you for doing this list. Truly.

Hi everyone

I updated the blog song playlist today. Added are:

I Miss You by Sade
(“And I miss you.
Like the deserts miss the rain.”)

We Belong by Pet Benatar
(“We belong to the light.
We belong to the thunder.
We belong to the sound of the words.”

“Whatever we deny or embrace.
For worse or for better.
We belong together.”)

U and Ur Hand by Pink
(“I'm not here for your entertainment.
You don't really want to mess with me tonight.
Just stop and take a second.
I was fine before you walked into my life.”)

Thank You by Alanis Morissette
(“Thank you, terror.
Thank you, disillusionment.
Thank you, frailty.
Thank you, consequence.
Thank you, thank you, silence!”

“How about how good it feels to finally forgive you.
How about no longer being masochistic.
How about remembering your divinity.
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out.
How about not equating death with stopping.”)

If you go to my first post, you'll see that it's been edited. Now, there are direct links for all of the songs. Jennifer asked me to do this, instead of using Project Playlist.

“JenDiMarco wrote:
Project Playlist is on rocky waters. They are bad. They know it. Nonfiction use (reference use) of music is fine. Music sharing is not.”

Luckily, this means that there are even more songs than before, because we're not limited by what Project Playlist has.

Enjoy. =]

Thank you, Brianne To clarify my stance on this (not trying to be a meanie):

Project Playlist allows users to track a song back to its origin. Often these places are sites that are used for reference -- not folders full of music people are sharing illegally.

The only reason music should be "shared" is in a nonfiction, reference or critique situation. EJ references pop culture and songs *often* in her blog. The vast majority of these songs can be purchased at amazon.com for less than a dollar each (no special player download required). However, if someone would simply like to *hear* a song, they can do so here.

Our plan is to create a "blog song radio" widget on our website that will play the songs. These songs are NOT intended to be downloaded and burned to CDs etc. These songs are for reference to readers of the "Gamer Grrl in Small Doses" blog only. This is why we have not titled them specifically. We hope readers' experience of this powerful Sunday blog will be enriched by this service.

Thank you, Brianne, for continuing with all of this. And thank you, Jennifer, for staying up on the legal parts of it all.

I understand you're testing the secure server (which will stop folks for downloading the songs while still allowing them to hear them) tonight?

Tonight I added the songs from last Sunday's blog, which are:

Where I Stood by Missy Higgins
(“Don't know if I could stand
another hand upon you.
All I know is that I should.”)

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
(“Give me life. Give me pain.
Give me my self again.
Oh these little earthquakes...
Here we go again.
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces.”)

Crucify by Tori Amos
(“Why do we crucify ourselves?
Everyday... I crucify myself.
Nothing I do is good enough for you...
and my heart is sick of being in chains.”

“Every finger in the room is pointing at me.
I wanna spit in their faces
then I get afraid of what that could bring.
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now.”

“Why do we crucify ourselves?
Everyday... I crucify myself.
Got enough guilt to start my own religion.
Where are those angels when you need them?”)

Jeremy by Pearl Jam
(“But we unleashed a lion.
Gnashed his teeth.
And the boy was something
mommy wouldn't wear.
Jeremy spoke in class today.
Try to forget this...
Try to erase this....”)

Not My Time by Three Doors Down
(“There's a fear in me, but it's not showing.
I look ahead too all the plans we made
and the dreams that we had.
I'm in a world that tries to take them away...
but I'm taking them back.”)

Stand by Rascal Flatts
(“Cause when push comes to shove
you taste what you're made of.
On your knees you look up...
You get mad. You get strong.
Then you stand.
One more small piece of you
falls into place.”)

Also added...

Oh Holy Night (this version by Kelly Clarkson)
("Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.")

...which I missed from the previous Sunday's blog. =]

Enjoy.

Hey, Wings? Now that Project Playlist has settled their legal issue, can we create a playlist there with all the blog songs? I'm curious as to whether we can embed a blog song playlist in the MG3K site.

That would be nice closer to launch when Brianne has more time, EJ. But... as the brand manager, I have to be the meanie and say, they'll have to be radio-edits. Sorry Some of our fiction is marked "Mature" but the website should stay PG-13

Jennifer... I trust you. And that's an understatement. I totally understand. Of course. Radio edits are fine.

Or just have two playlists. One Mature and the other GA. No reason to use versions you don't to, Angel.

Bri? These are the songs that have been quoted and all from the start of the blog? Does Angel tell you what they are? I can't figure some of them out.

The last time that I posted is the last update on this list. I haven't pulled any lyrics from the blogs since then.

Most of them I try to figure out myself. If I'm totally lost, I ask Jennifer and Cris, then EJ.
