Au Revior Simone - "Shadows" (Jens Lekman Remix)

Anybody can answer their own questions, all you have to do is look inside inside inside

Mumford and Sons - "After The Storm"

But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.

GRUM - "Shake This Feeling"

This video is hilarious. "WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT? WE HAVE PLENTY OF SPAGHETTI!"

Jukebox The Ghost - "Schizophrenia" official video

I have a very deep fear of schizophrenia - people with it, people developing it, the possibility that I may develop it, etc. A few weeks ago before this album leaked, I had a nightmare about my "schizophrenic voices" personified and chasing me around a state fair. After finally getting my hands on Everything Under The Sun the next day after the nightmare, I heard this song and felt very uneasy (the sequence of events was the weirdest part for me). So since I'm friends with the drummer of Jukebox, I asked him on facebook chat why the hell they wrote this song.

He told me that it's because Ben (another member of the band) used to have the same fear of schizophrenia and decided to write a song about it in a playful way, kind of like a sigh of relief because he is past the age where it onsets and is perfectly healthy. What a sigh of relief to me that someone else shared the same fear. Although, I'm still weary of the timing of it all. I need to start believing in coincidences haha ;]

OKAY ENJOY! It's a really awesome song. One of my favorites.

Bored of music

I am so bored of music right now. I was on this huge music kick in the spring and exhausted it all this summer. Seriously, I have about 20 mix cd's with the same songs in varying orders. So for now I'm just waiting for something to fall into my lap and consume me because I really don't have the motivation for finding new music - it really is a whole hobby in it's own right. So I guess I'll be taking a break from this blog thingy until I find something really special.

Until then, my boring recycled mix cd's will have to do :'[

(and of course I am pretty much always on tumblr so you can find me there)

Darwin Deez - Radar Detector

Eggstone - "Birds in Cages"

First heard this on the Jens Lekman summertime in 3/4 time mix. Something about the deep despair in the song warms my heart.

My road-trip mix tape

The third song is an audio recording of a letter written by Rainer Maria Rilke that has the best advice for loneliness, which I'm sure a road-trip might incite in a person at one point or another.
