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.

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. :)

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. ♥

I love mash-ups so hard. I love the excellent ones and the silly ones equally. My friends think I'm weird. These are a few of my favourites. I might post some of my other favourites in a few weeks if you people like mash-ups?

Ben Double M - (Britney Spears vs. Evanescence) Lithium Womanizer
DJ Earworm - (Wild Cherry vs. Frankie Goes to Hollywood) Funky Goes To Hollywood
DJ Lobsterdust - (Pixies vs. Pussycat Dolls) Pussycats Gone To Heaven
dj lil'e - (Styx vs. The Killers) Domo Arigato, Mr. Brightside
Party Ben - (Green Day vs. Oasis vs. Travis) Boulevard of Broken Songs

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!
