MGMT - Flash Delirium
MGMT - Flash Delirium
She & Him - Thieves
(This is the final cut of the song. Not a live version, and not from a recording session!)
I first heard this song when I saw She & Him live in New York in the summer of 2008. Needless to say, I fell in love with the song immediately. Then again, they make it difficult not to fall in love with anything they do, but that’s just me. I’ve heard the rough version(s) of this song prior to today and while I like those, I’m very happy with the way the final product was executed. Enjoy! I’ve provided the download link above for anybody and everybody that would like to snag the song. (I know you all do.) :)
Amanda Seyfried - Little House
You can catch me
Don’t you run, don’t you run
If you live another day
In this happy little house
The fire’s here to stay
Just when I thought I couldn’t love Amanda any more than I did, she had to go ahead and sing (plus play guitar) in Dear John and impress me even more. Her voice is actually really lovely and so is the song, you might be (pleasantly) surprised like I was!
The Drums - Make You Mine
Wake up
It’s a beautiful morning
Honey, while the sun is still shining
Wake up
Would you like to go with me?
Honey, take a run down to the beach
Justice - Beginning of the End
Peter Gabriel - I Think It’s Going To Rain Today (Randy Newman cover)
Broken windows and empty hallways,
a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it’s gonna rain today.
Papercuts - Unavailable
Hey little girl, where’s your man
He’s always on the phone
Making deals and selling all his ideas
Would you agree that he’s worth it
Can you say exactly what you’d pay
She & Him - In the Sun
So very excited for their new stuff coming out.. I’ve been a fan of theirs before the first record was released because I loved both of them separately and just knew they were going to be a perfect duo. I’ve been fortunate to even meet and speak with them, though for only a brief moment. I’ve already ordered a ticket to their upcoming show in Pomona, which is still a few months away (in April!), but nonetheless, I’m itching and beaming with excitement. Not just that, but I also went ahead and pre-ordered the 7” single and of course, Volume Two. (You can also do that right here on the Merge Records website, where shipping is FREE for anywhere in the US!) And when the tickets to that March show in Los Angeles are released, you bet your bottom I’ll be scoring my own within the first five minutes.
Oh she’s only seventeen
Whine whine whine, weep over everything
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the street
Brothers fighting, when’s the baby gonna sleep
Heaving ship too sails away
Said it’s a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It’s a tick of our time and the tic in her head that made me feel so strange
Love Will Find A Way - The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride (via fuckyeahdisneysongs)
I love this.
Julian Casablancas - I Wish It Was Christmas Today
I don’t care about anything else
Christmas is almost here
And I don’t care what the news man said
Christmas is full of cheer
I don’t care about anything
Except hearing those sleigh bells a’ring-a-ding, ding
I wish it was Christmas today
In the good old U.S. of A.
Ben Kweller - Lollipop
Call my baby lollipop
Tell you why
Her kiss is sweeter than an apple pie
And when she does her shaky rockin’ dance
Man, I haven’t got a chance
I’ve heard a handful and more different covers (in general), but this certainly has to be one of my favorites. Ben Kweller sure knows how to make a girl swoon; this is too cute for words.
Yeasayer - I Remember
I remember making love on a Sunday
Like throwing hearts in a fresh cut grass in May
I remember making out on the airplane
Still afraid of flying, but with you I’d die today
I remember the smell of your skin forever
Love us being stupid together
