Clap Rock

Of Montreal | Le Bataclan, Paris

Of Montreal | Le Bataclan, Paris

[via FoxyTunes / Of Montreal]




This is an insanely catchy song that gets stuck inside my head regularly. These guys are from Atlanta, and completely insane. After listening to this song I had to find out what a poppet was, now I will share my knowledge with you... a poppet is: "British Dialect. a term of endearment for a girl or child." You are welcome.














Song: Disconnect the Dots
Artist: Of Montreal


Come disconnect the dots with me poppet come disconnect the dots
Come disconnect the dots with me poppet come disconnect the dots


It's so beautiful
Our lunacy
It's so beautiful
Ah!

Spring Love Song...Ahhhh

02-16 Dr. Dog in Philadelphia (14)

[via FoxyTunes / Dr. Dog]






Like most losers spring brings a lift to my step. The flowers are perty, the World in general just seems a little less suck. This spring I have really taken a shine to the band Dr. Dog. They have been playing on my mp3 player since I downloaded the album "We All Belong" last month. If you have been interacting with me in the past month I probably had this song going through my head (explains a lot?). I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.





Artist: Dr. Dog
Song: Keep a Friend

Even rich men ask for more,
Well I ain't poor
But I'm a beggar for your love
And enough it ain't enough
You can call me crazy
You can call me anything you like

Even gluttons got to eat,
Well I ain't weak
But I hunger for your love
And enough it ain't enough

Well I'd pawn my heart if I thought you'd break it
Sell my soul if I thought you'd take it
But every smile and conversation lets me know that you're only in it for love

I intend to keep a friend in love
Please remember, I don't pretend in love

Even kings they ask for more,
Well I ain't sure
But I'm a pauper for your love
And enough it ain't enough
You can call me crazy
You can call me anything you like

Even rivers ask for rain,
Well I ain't sand
But I'm a desert for your love
And enough it ain't enough

Well I'd pawn my heart if I thought you'd break it
Sell my soul if I thought you'd take it
But every smile and conversation lets me know that you're only in it for love

I intend to keep a friend in love
Please remember, I don't pretend in love

I intend to keep a friend in love
Please remember, I don't pretend in love

World Party

goodbye jumbo - world party

goodbye jumbo - world party

[via FoxyTunes / World Party]



I think that this is one of those songs that makes you think of a certain time of your life, for me this song screams high school. There is an optimism that makes you think "I will change the world...if only I could get in a car and drive it around the world (impossible)" . Since I've gotten older I realize that it takes a little more than that. When ever this song pops up in the rotation I am taken back to cruising the strip in Crystal Lake..and hanging out at Subway (Pathetic). If you have a song that evokes that feeling...leave it below.









Artist: World Party
Song: Put the Message in the Box



And if you listen now
You might hear
A new sound coming in
As an old one disappears
See the world in just one grain of sand
You better take a closer look
Don't let it slip right thru your hand
Won't you please hear the call
The world says

CHORUS
Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard

Now is the moment
Please understand
The road is wide open
To the heart of every man
A few simple words
So a mule could understand
He don't want tomorrow
If it's just crumbling into sand
Won't please hear the call
She says

CHORUS

Until you get heard

The World says
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Cos I'm waiting right here with my open arms
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your soul to me
Cos I'm waiting to behold your many charms
Is that love in the air?
She says

CHORUS

Until you get heard
Until you get heard
Until you get heard
Until you get heard

Love this track.



Back to black.mp3


Song: Back to Black
Artist: Amy Winehouse


He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to


We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black
