Discovery - "Osaka Loop Line"

I mixed a pandora station with The Mountain Goats and Yeasayer and got that
I love pandora hehehehe

The Mountain Goats - "The Young Thousands"

Boats ease into the harbor bearing real suspicious cargo
And the sunlight on the water
Sets a switch off in your brain
The things that you've got coming will consume you
There's someone waiting out there in an alley with a chain

The ghosts that haunt your building are prepared to take on substance
And the dull pain that you live with isn't getting any duller
There's a closet full of almost-pristine videotape
Documenting sordid little scenes in living color

Here they come
The young thousands
Here they come
The young thousands

You drive east from the ocean with both hands tied on the wheel
And you go past Garden Grove
As the pleasure index rises
The things that you've got coming will do things that you're afraid to
There is someone waiting out there with a mouthful of surprises

The ghosts that haunt your building have been learning how to breathe
They scan the hallways nightly vainly searching for a sign
There must be diamonds somewhere in a place that stinks this bad
There are brighter things than diamonds coming down the line

Here they come
The young thousands
Here they come
The young thousands

The Weakerthans - "Left and Leaving"

:[ <3

The Good Life - "Heartbroke"

please don't mind this weird video.
and I have no idea what the difference between "mean" and "nice" version is on youtube

The Queers - "I Can't Get Over You"

Brothertiger - "Lovers"

you bet this has been on repeat all day long haha :]

Jenny & Johnny - "My Pet Snakes"

Besides Slavedriver, this is my favorite song off of their album, I'm Having Fun Now.


"2009, it was a bastard of a year
(Lalala, pass the joint to me)
I cannot get stoned no more, I only get the fear
(These good times, they are killing me)
We can have it out or we can have another beer
(I could lie so we're even)
All the best of luck with your career"

Jens Lekman - "Pocket Full of Money"

~*~ favorite Jens song alert ~*~

The second half of the song is so strange yet I can't stop listening to it on repeat in my car. On the way to school, the gym, grocery shopping, etc. The "I'll come running with a heart on fire" sample is from a Beat Happening song which sucks in my opinion. But nevertheless, it is my favorite part in this song :33

Grum - "Through The Night"

sweetest bromance song (actually strong homo)

FLEET FOXES

Sometimes I like to just put on music, lay down and get lost in my head. Fleet Foxes is the first band in a long time that made me so grateful for this lame activity I so thoroughly enjoy. My dear friend Becca tried turning me onto them last winter but I never really gave them enough attention to let them seduce me. That girl knows whats up.

Now I am seduced.

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.
