The Passions - I’m in love with a german film star (taken from Top of the Pops)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
it’s got a hold on me…
August 8th, 2008Clan of Xymox - Obsession
While it’s not one of my favorite songs by CoX, it is pretty great still, and was yet another from that damn lost vhs tape.
With your head in the clouds
August 6th, 2008The March posts were so worth our collective while that i couldn’t post again until you were all ready for it.. thats right alter ego, here comes an assload of greatness.
Never before has shitting on the carpet sounded so good…
Echo & The Bunnymen - With A Hip
With a hip hip hop and a flip flap flop
Gonna steal some bananas from the grocer’s shop
With your head in the clouds
And your trousers undone
Gonna shit on the carpet
Just like everyone
Shocking Pinks - End of the World
Reid put some Shocking Pinks on a compilation awhile ago and it was one of those things that just clicked one day last week and now i can’t get enough…
Jesus & Mary Chain - Reverence
Another from “that amazing vhs tape”
Sundays - Can’t Be Sure
uhm. fuck. how is she so so so hot…
Thomas Dolby - One Of Our Submarines
It came up between a friend and I as we walked up the stairway at work, which always reminds me of a submarine.
Which is bestest?
March 30th, 2008Beach House - Heart of Chambers
The Carpenters - We’ve Only Just Begun (manic tambourine madness)
Play them both at the same time, oh yes, the musical genius of a constipated circus bear given a harp and a candle-lit jacuzzi room.
sitting in a car at the curb.
March 25th, 2008The Church - It’s No Reason. I really can’t say what the hell it is about this song, but I listen to it quite a bit. 1983 wasn’t just about MS Word and Nintendo getting released… omg. Can you imagine if I really cared about what else was going on in ‘83?
The Chills - Pink Frost. No idea why I haven’t placed this before, but the damn song is so so so great.
The Ch… (j/k)|
kitCHens of Distinction - The Third Time We Opened The Capsule. I had a friend put this on a video compilation (now lost) back in the early 90’s. My initial reaction was.. blegh. Then one day it just kicked me in the chin and I really liked it, but had no idea who it was as there were no titles. Some friend-slueth discovered it was KoD. I miss that tape. Maybe I should compile a list of what was on it… one day.
Moose - This River Will Never Run Dry. This is it. I can’t make this any better tonight. I’ll be in my sock drawer now.
Here comes the SICK.
March 25th, 2008Almost 3 months of no updates is ridiculous balls. So watch me slam ya like a yo yo in heat.
The National - Apartment Story. I’ve been in an old wardrobe at the bottom of the sea, or at least that is my excuse for not knowing more about these guys a long while ago. They feel like the band that was afraid to be awesome until a few other bands tried to do this and just blew on dicks instead.
Holy Fuck - No really, that’s their name. and really. Holy Fuck. I can’t stand the bearded hunched over in tea-shirts (clever eh?) manic musicians, but holy fuck, these guys kinda nail it in a good way. Amazing? pretty damn close I will say. Mogwai, nah…
The Teenages - In a pretty rad, ‘Material Issue’ kinda way, these guys pop this fucking song into my brain a few times a week. I really like this horrible video too. Fuck it… I dig these guys a lot.
( C#nt)
The Rakes w/ Lily Allen - Let’s Dance. I’m not a huge Lily Allen fan, I like her fine but this cover reminded me of a abit of Altered Images, and it made me smile. The Rakes, are great, with snakes at a bake sale. .. . shit. Look them up, they are fun.
