The Children Need Le Sexy Musique

July 14th, 2009

It’s almost 4am. And I’m tired.

What’s keeping me awake? Putting together a music playlist for charity. A seeeexy music playlist. ‘Cause that’s how I roll.

12 for 12K FTW!

There is an amazing organization called 12 for 12K  (visit the site - the “12″ repeat motif shall be fully explained).

The lead organizer is the fabulous Danny Brown – who lives in Canada but is a Brit…blimey! (<– not sure what this means exactly, but I want to use it at least once in a blog post)

June Tweet-a-Thon FTW2!

A few weeks ago, 12 for 12K put on the June Tweet-a-Thon spectacular. And that’s when I joined, thanks to my cyber gf with the delish rump and lady lumps, CTK1.

Imagine: 24 hours of streaming online video, kind of like the Jerry Lewis stuff on TV. Comedians, musicians, smut peddlar (me). Powered by 2.0 social media.

There were prizes for those who donated at least $12. Not to mention the karma point accumulated (my younger sister, who is totally broke, donated $5. ‘Cause she’s awesome)

I went on at 11pm, and helped raise approx. $240 during the 40 minutes I was breathing heavy into the webcam It’s the most money I’ve ever made in an hour – and the fact that it went straight to UNICEF made me feel shiny and new.

Nice post-script to that event: one of my friends donated $12 and she won one of the prizes.

Masquertweet

So, PRCog decided to organize a masquerade for NYC locals to help raise some green.

Enter Masquertweet! It promises to be kinda like the masquerade in “Eyes Wide Shut” sans orgy. Or so I like to think.

And me…my teensy part in helping out is to put together a 1-hr playlist for the event.

Compiling playlists gets me SPRUUUNG

What can I say? I’m a music whore, with 70GB of mp3s and too many sleepless nights under my belt.

My mp3s are simply my digital version of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. It’s the sountrack to my mental masturabtion, as I have internal debates over why a certain bassline or loop changed my goddamn life. It’s pathetic.

So  – nothing pleases me more than using those music files for the greater good.

Le Sexy Musique Playlist

Here is my 1 hour playlist. Oh, and there is a certain irrational logic to the sequence. You putting this playlist on shuffle voids any sort of warm feelings I had for you.

1. “Inside a Silent Tear” – Carmen McRae
2. “Hell is Round the Corner” – Tricky
3. “Come into My World (Fischerspooner remix)” – Kylie Minogue
4. “Poison” – Bell Biv Devoe. (it’s the longer version, with the “grown-men-barkin’-like-Dobermans” part in the middle. I believe this adds to the atmosphere, don’t you?)
5. “How We Do” – Mount Sims
6. “Das Model” – Kraftwerk
7. “My Secret Garden” – Depeche Mode
8. “Iron Man” – The Cardigans
9. “Vienna” – Ultravox
10. “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” – Ryuichi Sakamoto
11. “Rainbow” – Miyake Hiromi
12. “As the World Falls Down” – David Bowie
