Best Coast - "Fist City" (iTunes Session)





this is my favorite Best Coast song by far. it's the most fun to belt along to. anyways, I hear their new album is going to sound kind of country and if this is any indication of their country music skills then omfg I need that cd to come out right now ok bye

We Are Augustines - "Chapel Song"



this song is so intense O____________O

Rabbit! - "Pink Lemonade"




cutest song EVER award goes to this song. omfg. I usually don't like live versions of this song, but it's very close to the album recording.

Amy Winehouse - "Addicted" (instrumental and original)

without lyrics




with lyrics

Amy Winehouse - "Cupid"

I go in and out of Amy Winehouse obsessions. This time I can't stop paying extra attention to her, perhaps because she died. I don't know, I had this weird NEED to listen to Back to Black, an album I previously didn't care for (with the exception of "Tears Dry On Their Own"). So yeah, now she's dead and I'm obsessed. I literally want to cry that I couldn't get to know her. It kind of makes me feel a little anxious about meeting Jenny Lewis in this lifetime.

DGNJDFJGH

anyways.

Architecture in Helsinki - "Contact High"




I didn't know what to expect from Architecture in Helsinki's new album, Moment Bends, more of the same? Okay, admittedly that's what I expected. To my surprise, they've taken a new weird Chromeo-esque direction. Disco influence? Dunno. He's using his voice for real in this song. I love it. Love it. Love it.

She & Him - "Lingering Still"



For real, Zooey is my soul sister. I love her old soul and the songs she chooses to cover and sing and share with me in such a beautiful way. If she ever stops making music, I think I might die. SAME GOES FOR YOU JENNY LEWIS, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT TOGETHER, LET'S KEEP MAKING MORE, OKAY???????

I like to learn things slow
I like learning a lot
I like to get it all again and in the end
You know you get what you got
I like to mean what I say
But it don't always come through
Because if I say it all again, again, again
It doesn't make it all true

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still

It's all just news to me
Don't really care if it hurts
Because if I knock it I won't know it
Then I know that it will only get worse
He was different at first
But then he won't understand
Because he's never going to know me
If he doesn't want to just shake my hand

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still

relating two unrelated songs by Liz Phair and Peter Bjorn and John

It's time for a little game I like to play with myself called "relate two unrelated songs!"

it's why mix cd's are the best. people who enjoy mix cd's derive meaning from a variety of things. That's beautiful. well. let me share the beautiful songs I thought of.


Liz Phair - "Flower"



Imagine being her object of affection... haha idk. I think it's kind of sexy to be completely honest. I'm not so wild like her, but like I said, I wouldn't mind her feeling that way about me hahahaha. Oh wow. Hello. Let's hope family never reads this blog.

In case you want to know what I meant by 'object of affection,' I think Peter Bjorn and John certainly know how to define it with thissss songgggg..... dun dun dun!!!!!!!!!





^ things that make me feel excited and thoughtful... sex and deriving infatuation/total admiration and motivation out of life, usually from a person lolz. but lyrics are cool that way. they can be about whatever you want them to be about.

Jenny Lewis, Conor Oberst, Ben Gibbard, M. Ward - "Handle Me With Care" (Cover)

Kate Nash - "Mouthwash"



And, this, is my mind
It goes over and over
The same old lines

And, this, is my brain
It's torturous analytical thoughts
Make me go insane

And I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I got a family
And I drink cups of tea

I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familiar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places

And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna be alright
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna be alright

This is my face
I've got a thousand opinions
And not the time to explain

And this is my body
And no matter how you try and disable it
Yes I'll still be here

And, this, is my mind
And although you try to infringe
You cannot confine

And, this, is my brain
And even if you try and hold me back
There's nothing that you can gain

Best Coast - "When You Wake Up"



It's always 11:30 when you wake up.

Liz Phair - "Divorce Song"



I tried giving this album a fair listen a couple years ago when I was big into livejournal mixes lolz, but I couldn't quite appreciate it back then. The lyrics and her voice and her singing style and the music are just all so perfect. It's so imperfect it's perfect, if you know what I mean.

Animal Collective - "Fireworks"



I'm only all I see sometimes.

The Decemberists - "January Hymn"




On a winter Sunday I go
To clear away the snow
And green the ground below

April all an ocean away
Is this the better way to spend the day?
Keeping the winter at bay

What were the words I meant to say before you left?
When I could see your breath lead where you were going to

Maybe I should just “let it be”
and maybe it will all come back to me
Sing oh January oh!

Royce da 5'9" - "Shake This"




This blog may be taking a new direction soon because I'm absolutely obsessed with Royce right now. I love this song, I'm glad it has an actual video so I can get a good look at him. Something about him is addicting ;] haha
