Across The Pond

Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons

[via FoxyTunes / mumford and sons]




Typically when I hear a banjo, I think bluegrass or country music...right?! Welcome to one of my new favorite bands from London. I really dig the way the music is like a wave...building stronger and stronger. I hope you like this, cause I sure do. Why cant I hear this music on the radio?




Artist: Mumford and Sons
Song: Little Lion Man

weep for yourself, my man,
you'll never be what is in your heart
weep little lion man,
you're not as brave as you were at the start
rate yourself and rape yourself,
take all the courage you have left
wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
i really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?

tremble for yourself, my man,
you know that you have seen this all before
tremble little lion man,
you'll never settle any of your score
your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
i really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?

Ego

Sebadoh

Sebadoh

[via FoxyTunes / Sebadoh]




During work this week I was reminded of one of my favorite songs. It inspired me to share because my guess is that we all have someone in our lives that occasionally is in serious need of a falcon punch. I love the fact that you can taste the sarcasm in every word of this song. Some of the best lyrics Lou Barlow ever wrote right here folks...Enjoy.





Song: The Freed Pig
Artist: Sebadoh

You were right
I was battling you, trying to prove myself
I tried to bury you with guilt; I wanted to prove you wrong
I've got nothing better to do than pay too much attention to you
It's sad, but it's not your fault
Self-righteous and rude
I guess I lost that cool
Tapping ‘til I drive you insane
I'm self-righteous, but never right
So laid back, but so uptight
Destroying your patience to tolerate me
With all the negative spirit I bring
Right, I was obsessed to bring you down
Watching your every move
Playing a little-boy game
Always with something to prove
Waiting to cut you down, making it hard to live
With only one thing to do
Cut me first, make it easy
Now you will be free
Now that nothing depends on me
Tapping ‘til I drive you insane
Now you will be free
With no sick people tugging on your sleeve
Your big head has that "more room to grow"
A glory I will never know
A glory I will never know

Ran across these dudes last month. I really dig the jangly guitar and the horns vs. the piano. This is a bar anthem. Enjoy.

Shameless Plug

Sailz

I like to share. I have a few of these little corners of my mind floating out there. One of my other "Wastes Of Time" is a little place called Photo Ninja's
. Its a collaborative photo blog. I try to post at least weekly (very weakly) and when I do I upload a new song for visitors to listen to while looking at our photos. This weeks post is a playlist of the songs that have been the soundtrack to Photo Ninja's over the last few months. Its a fun group of tunes. Take the time to look at the work we do over there and if you would like to join...holla.

Here is the link...

and here is the music...
