...like it says.

Look, something not even remotely acoustic.

gackt; secret garden.I've never flown in dreams. I imagine that if I do, it will be rather like listening to this song. My six-year obsession with Gackt could yield paragraphs of gushing, but suffice it to say--his voice is my favorite of all that I've heard--yes, ever. ♥ I pretty ( Read more... )

I'm just posting up a storm recently, but I posted this song in my journal this morning so I thought I'd cross-post it here.

I woke up to listen to Kate Nash. She's got a new CD coming out, My Best Friend is You, and at first I was hesitant but it's growing on me. A bit more punk than I'm used to and prefer from her--Doo-Wah was so much Regina's ( Read more... )

When I posted Jeffrey Foucault here a couple entries ago I was reminded of my abiding love for Moody Dudes with Acoustic Guitars--a genre of music that continues to flourish (and brood) the world over. xD Here's a small selection.

( Ten songs & descriptions: David Wilcox, Mike Doughty, Frank Christian, Nick Drake, California Guitar Trio, James Keelaghan, Jeffrey Foucault, Townes van Zandt, Nick Drummond, Ellis Paul. )

Two songs that I cannot, cannot, cannot quit listening to this month--they're connected by an uncertain thread in my mind, but nothing I can easily articulate. xD Perhaps all they share is my general April restlessness. Enjoy!

fleet foxes; icicle tusk.What a weird little song this is! I've been a fan of Fleet Foxes for a long time, but this early ( Read more... )

I think someone here posted Laura Marling's Alas I Cannot Swim. Whoever did, I owe you a debt of gratitude--it's my #1 played song in iTunes. This version is live. The original song is a hidden track after a few minutes of birds chirping on her first CD, Alas I Cannot Swim and it's much more down-beat version of this song. Work more, earn more, ( Read more... )

Making yet another CRE (Community Revitalization Effort)... I don't know about where you live, but in the Philadelphia area, it got ridiculously warm, sunny and nice this week, to the point where everyone on my campus was lying out on the soccer field and treating it like it was a beach. (And then it rained and got cold all over again... but anyway ( Read more... )

So Joanna Newsom's CD Have One On Me did the whole new-CD thing and I really only listened to it a few times; in its entirety, the CD is good but a bit too 1700s-minstrel for me.

but this song I listened to 46 times! Good Intentions Paving Company. it's the end of my last relationship, basically. You know,the one that's still kind of continuing. ( Read more... )

EDIT: Due to bandwidth issues, I have pulled these songs down from availability.  Thanks to all who have participated.

I'll jump on this train.

So.
For me, I'm currently going through Big Stuff (tm): The Grad School version.  If you've ever wanted to experience the sensation of being functionally crazy, then graduate school has a big stick and a ( Read more... )

Ok, so while browsing the internet one day in a desperate attempt to locate some new music, I stumbled upon an indie playlist website ( Read more... )

I tend to really like characters in fiction who are a bit too intellectual and thus rather emotionally confused. Figured out (embarrassingly late) that it's because I have this problem too. :x Oops. Here's a few 'oh darn; all the intellect in the world will not make this affection make more sense' songs. Stuck in slanted, sideways poet-language ( Read more... )
