Format and The Blow

I never learn from my mistakes. I have overdosed on every little thing I've found from The Format, and I'm sure I'll do it again with this video for Dog Problems. They are just so dang good.

I've got four tracks by The Blow and they are as follows:

Pile Of Gold
True Affection
Fists Up
Parentheses

I can't pick a favourite, but Pile of Gold was the first one I heard and got me hooked, so maybe do the same.

Pick up their cd "Paper Television"


ALSO, Thanks to those of you how sent well wishes and whatnot for my birthday. It was fun, and good, and jolly. Mmhmm.

Web Cam Girl Strip Show

Strip Show

Watch that video, it is probably the funniest thing I've seen.. today. Actually though, this short movie is great, be sure to watch all the way to the end (a whopping 2:19) to enjoy all of the hilarity.



Sometime this weekend I'm going to try to post some music from "The Blow". I've got four tracks, and I'm trying to decide which is my favourite, which is proving to be unbelievably hard.

Margot And The Nuclear So And So's

I heard these guys for the first time in June, but only had one song, Skeleton Key. Recently I came across another song, Quiet As A Mouse and became re-obsessed. I don't think you will be anything short of impressed.

Buy "The Dust Of Retreat" for you
Buy "The Dust Of Retreat" for me

suprise song, other music.

I've got a secret surprise song for you all to listen to. It blows my mind.

Also, probably the most optimistic song I've ever heard. It's by "Best Friends Forever" and its called "2081"

Finally the Brand New song I quoted yesterday "Untitled 04" which has the lyric about Van Gogh and inspired me to go read about him.

While I was putting these online, I noticed a track I'd put up a while ago, meaning to link it here, and clearly forgot. So here that is. It's by The Fire Theft and it's called "Heaven". Check all of those out. Mmmhmm.

brand new

To think, of all the paintings we would be without,
if Van Gogh had gone and died face down,
from loss of blood,
the night he went and hacked his ear off.

That's from an untitled/unreleased Brand New song. Hopefully I remember to post it here for you tomorrow (Wednesday) because it is just so awesome. I'm so excited for the new cd, more because I want to know what tracks have actually made it, but also because I love every new track I've heard so far (fourteen in total, five or six of which I know will be on the new CD). Anyways, I am going to go listen to some more music, and knit.

And Laura, I'm not ignoring you if that's what you think, I just suck at reading emails on time, and signing myself onto msn and then leaving to take a shower. Um, yeah, I gotta talk to you soon times.

Later internet.

Drum/Piano mix, intense.

Amateur

This guy can't play drums or piano, but he can edit like no other apparently.

Something to do with my hands

Her Space Holiday - Something To Do With My Hands

The version I am posting is a remix by Arab Strap but I've never heard the original, so I don't know if it is a butchered version or what, but I personally like it.

You know it kills me to see such a pretty girl so tired
You've got your mother's cheekbones and your father's crooked smile
Forget all those places that you've never really been
And all those situations you somehow found yourself in
Let your body sink into me
Like your favorite memory
Like a line of poetry
Or a fucking fit of honesty
I'll do my best to keep you, keep you sleepy as the south
With my old watch on your wrist
And my thumbs inside your mouth
Suck on my fingertips until you kill all my prints
So your boyfriend has no clue
Of how much I've been touching you

My problem with me is my problem with you
It doesn't take much
For me to come unglued
I put my headphones on
And hear your favorite songs
And it kills me to know
That this won't be one of them

You know it saves me to think even for a little while
I owned the set of shoulders that you came to rely on
Like in that movie theater when you whispered in my ear
I almost didn't make it
This has been my hardest year
Your job is killing you faster than a cancer could
So now you're giving up like they always said you would
You've got that old map out now and you found the farthest town
You hope that if you're lucky this is where you'll settle down

I don't care where you move, I don't care if it's far,
All that I ask is that I know where you are
In case our timing is right
In case you need more from me
Than a bit of advice
Or a tongue full of sympathy

You know it kills me to see such a pretty girl so tired
You've got your mother's cheekbones and your father's crooked smile
Forget all those places that you've never really been
And all those situations you somehow found yourself in
Let your body sink into me
Like your favorite memory
Like a line of poetry
Or a fucking fit of honesty
I'll do my best to keep you, keep you sleepy as the south
With my old watch on your wrist
And my thumbs inside your mouth
Suck on my fingertips until you kill all my prints
So my girlfriend has no clue
Of how much I've been fucking you

The bolded parts are just my favourite lines, and I thought you should be made more aware, cause I'm like that.

Will it blend?

MARBLES

Normally I hate shit like this on the internet, but this actually made me laugh. I'm pretty sure I watched all of them.
