11:28AM - Sick Day 11 May 2005

Being home sick and having access to my brother's 10,000+ songs is a dangerous combination. These are basically songs I've been digging on lately that were conveniently on Rod's computer so I could make a CD to make being sick not suck as much. I can tell you why I'm digging on some of these also.

Fatlip - What's up Fatlip? (I like this song mostly because of the part where he says "who'm'I kiiiiidin', who'm'I foooolin' when they be like, what's up fatlip? and I say coooooolin'")
Beck - Deadweight
Belle & Sebastian - Slow Grafitti
The Breeders - No Aloha
Nirvana - Sliver (I think this song is kind of heartbreaking. But it ROCKS. And in a completely non-emo way!).
David Bowie - Starman (I like how he says "boooo-gay" instead of "boogie". Plus, good guitar--makes me think of the Life Aquatic).
Death Cab For Cutie - Lowell, MA (This song is so smooth. Smooth the way a tall glass of ice cold chocolate milk is smooth, but not Nestle Quik--like whole milk with delicious chocolate sauce in it).
Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning (I am partial to this song. Remember when Beck covered it at the Lincoln Theater? That was pretty cool).
Dizzee Rascal - Dream (This song is insane).
The Go!Team - Ladyflash
Devo - Gut Feeling
Jay-Z - 99 Problems
Snoop Dogg - Drop it Like It's Hot (I want to say the beat in this song is what's so good, but is it even really a beat? Whatever it is, it is sick and I love it).
Mates of State - Ha-Ha
Nirvana - About a Girl
Pavement - Elevate me Later (This is the number one thing I identitfy with Summer 2003).
The Pixies - Dig For Fire
Probot - Shake Your Blood
Radiohead - Killer Cars (studio version, not the live version which I actually prefer).
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control (It's Friday afternoon and I want to dance, dance, DANCE!!! This song makes me want to dance the way I like to dance).
The Eels - Lucky Day in Hell (One of my favorite Eels songs from my favorite Eels album. The sound they achieve in this song is so specific to a certain feeling, but it's relatively indescribable).

And that's that. I'll make copies for anyone who wants one, and even some of you that don't.

10:08AM - ennui isn't going to make its own soundtrack...

1. Morrissey- I's Gonna Happen Someday
2. PJ Harvey- You Said Something
3. Scissor Sisters- Better Luck
4. Belle and Sebastian- Dirty Dream No.2
5. The Smiths- There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
6. The Cure- Play For Today
7. Morrissey- Seasick Yet Still Docked
8. PJ Harvey- Rid of Me
9. Bob Dylan- World Gone Wrong
10. The Smiths- Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
11. Portishead- It's a Fire
12. Tori Amos- Doughnut Hole
13. Morrissey- Tomorrow

I think Belle and Sebastian, The Smiths, The Cure, and roundhouse punch from Morrissey all in a row could sonically murder Dashboard Confessional. Murder him into a paste. We should definitely look into this.

Tomorrow is oddly joyous.

Thanks again.

1:03AM - ummm.. fire?

i seem to be incapable of listening to anything recorded past 1985 these days. with a few notable exceptions. guys wanna help me out with that?

11:25AM - born to late

The Violent Femmes are neither terribly violent, nor are they femmes. I'm fairly certain Kim Deal has an opinion on this but I don't know what it is for the life of me.
