Omg! post

Adfghjfkldh It's still Sunday on my end, guys! D:

So I completely forgot to upload songs last Sunday, and thus I am going to make up for it today. [:



OMGMONSTERS:
Eisley - Plenty of Paper
Heather Dale - Mordred's Lullaby
mc chris - MC Chris Is Dead (repeat)
Jonathan Coulton - Re: Your Brains
The Boy Least Likely To - Monsters
Voltaire - When You're Evil

And my best friends are over, and here's the songs we've been listening to OVER YONDER. Aptly titled Surprise! mix because 1) it is a suuuurprise~ and 2) my list has been on shuffle the entire time. ♥



Note: for the Surprise! mix, I uploaded it on sendspace because mediafire was being not so very co-operative.

Saturday harmony

Two duets I love:

george (Katie Noonan & Tyrone Noonan) - Under The Milky Way
george's first album was amazingly pretty, and one of the biggest components of that was the gorgeousness of the singers' voices. And yet, they never sang in the same song! It was after a few years that I stumbled across this cover of Church's classic, and, finally, they sang together. It was so worth the wait.

PJ Harvey & Thom Yorke - This Mess We're In
One of the things I adore about this song is that PJ's voice is lower than Thom's. So pretty. :3

It's 1am and it's raining pretty heavily... There are songs that are perfect for times like this, don't you think?

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
Assemblage 23 - Lullaby
Massive Attack - Teardrop

Guys, I am so sorry. 

I have been moving over the past few weeks and have completely missed my days to post.

This coming Tuesday I will make a massive post to make up for it. Promise.

I am so sorry!

♥

I hope you are all well!

You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

I'm pretty nostalgic today so I wanted to share an old favorite of mine.
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
Escape, escape, escape


Blind Melon | No Rain
Enjoy!

Kings of Convenience



Aaaah, sorry for not posting anything last week, I was in hospital and I didn't have anything prepared in advance. I hope it won't happen again ♥ Anyway, for this week's post I've prepared some songs by one of my favourite bands :)

Kings of Convenience are a Norwegian duo that plays really mellow, melodic acoustic pop/rock/folk. Most of their songs are slow and soft, sung by both artists in harmony. They remind me of Simon & Garfunkel :D
Homesick
I Don't Know What I Can Save You From
Summer on the Westhill
Parallel
Gold in the Air of Summer
Manhattan Skyline
The Build-Up
Envoy


And a little bonus...
Damien Rice - Delicate

I have Kings of Convenience and Damien Rice on the same playlist, and this song started playing when I was typing up this post, so I thought I'd include it, since the style is a bit similar.

Hilarious show tunes

I've always been a musical girl, so I thought I'd post some of the funniest showtunes I know of today.



Avenue Q - Schadenfreude - Avenue Q is already a classic, and this song will never stop being hilarious.
Evil Dead: The Musical - Join Us - Not enough people know this musical, which is a shame. Not only is it based on the funniest film ever, but it's also a comedic splatter musical. It doesn't get much better than that.
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown - Little Known Facts - Ridiculously funny lyrics, that can become useful if you ever need to explain to a kid where snow comes from.
Spamalot - Diva's Lament - Every musical girl's theme song.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee - Prayer of the Comfort Counselor - This doesn't really go under hilarious show tunes, but it is a fantastic song and therefore a good song to end this post with. :)

MC Chris is dead and he ain't ever coming back

This is the song I turn to when I'm tired of drowning in depression (and after I spend a few hours listening to Death Cab for Cutie while driving home from work).

MC Chris Is Dead by mc chris.

It is rap, yes, and other than my inexplainable, and at times worrying, love for Tupac Shakur, this song is the only rap song that I love, without also simultaneously hating it.

Why? Because it's a rap about zombies.

Provided here are the lyrics: Behold. )


This is not a song meant inspires the masses (unless you're wanting to raise a zombie army), there's no secret meaning hidden in the way the words are place or how they're pronounced, and it doesn't make you stay awake and debate the meaning of life or the vices and sins of humanity. But it is so funny, guys. ♥

apocalypse now

I spent the whole week reading comic books. I read Chosen and I'm currently reading Preacher and the thing in common these two comics have is the thematic, the whole 'religious' background and somehow, the Apocalypse which is represented in both of them. And I had this song on shuffle while reading. Johnny Cash is my favorite musician ever, I love everything he recorded; he's just THE MAN, you know.
Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around
So for today, I thought this song would be ideal. Mostly because it has those two things that basically ate my brain this week.

Enjoy!

Breaking the pattern!

I'm going to break the pattern guys, and post only one song today. [:

But it is, as of... last Monday at 11 o'clock at night or so, my favorite song ever ever ever. It has literally been on repeat every time I turn on my iPod, in the car blasting through the speakers on the highway, or in my computer, which is kind of epic (as such a thing hasn't happened since I fell in love with Imogen Heap two years ago).

This is that song:

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime



(And this is its music video.)

Why do I love this song? Because I can listen to it for hours and not get bored. It is so silly and makes me laugh so hard, and there are times this week where I've been feeing real shitty, and this song brought me up (specifically the line: This is not my beautiful wife!) each and every tiem. It's kinda bouncy and has one of the coolest beats, and every time I liten to it, it kind of leaves me feeling cool and refreshed (might be the repeated references to water). Once in a lifetime has a message in there, too (wiki mentions existentialism, but personally I go the middle-age crisis route), which just makes this for me.

Eulogy Saturday

[personal profile] pippin's which breath will be your last? mix.
All my theme ideas were stolen, but there were no song overlaps so I'll save them for later. To-day, instead, I present a selection of songs about death. One's piano-led and melancholic, two are accordion-driven and mischievous, and the other two are guitar-based and... not similar otherwise.

Dark Dark Dark - Fement in Dm
The Whitlams - Charlie No. 3
Okkervil River - Westfall
Doug Anthony Allstars - Warsong
Kim Vermillion - The Organ Donor's March
Also, if you haven't seen it yet :: The Chasers' Eulogy Song.

(I would have done a Sad People Talk About Their City And Then Drown Themselves mix, but I only have two songs for that (Under the Bridge and Love This City)! Any suggestions for more?)

6am mix

I hate waking up early. I'd do everything to be able to sleep in every day, but my university career wouldn't last long if I stopped showing up for morning classes... Fortunately, I'm one of these silly people who get up and dance whenever they hear music, so turning upbeat songs helps me get out of bed. These songs are not exactly what you'd hear at a party, but they're good for stretching a bit in the morning :)

Alanis Morissette - Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)
Nelly Furtado - Força
Halfcooked - Bad Reputation
Noah and the Whale - 5 Years Time
Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
Regina Spektor - On the Radio
Queen - Hammer to Fall

Mediafire hates me today, I'll add a download link for whole mix later :|
