So I really thought I was having an epiphany, that one band was doing a very obscure shout-out to another; Sara, this is why you got a series of extremely-excited-sounding caps-locked IMs about thirty seconds ago. In the first 10 seconds of "Hate Me" by Blue October, there's a kid chorus muffled in the background and they're singing something that ( Read more... )

I will warn you now that this song is just...ridiculous. I hope it will bring a smile to your face. It made me smile the first time, but since my M.O. for writing entries is to loop a song until I'm done, I'm pretty sure I will be absolutely tired of essentially listening to almost three minutes of auction-speak, over and over again. Listen on ( Read more... )

Amendment I: I am listening to "both" versions of this song--the original Beatles version as well as the Joe Anderson/Jim Sturgess version from Across the Universe. I am not a huge Beatles buff, so I did not realize that the AtU version cut a verse or two. For auditory purposes while reading today's entry, I suggest trying both versions.

This bookmark I had saved years ago caught my eye a few moments ago; it's a website called Musicovery, calling itself an "interactive web radio." It operates on a cool concept--you select the genre of music you'd like to listen to and then set your mood: energetic and happy on pop would probably give you something like Ashlee Simpson, and so on.

Legend has it that Lansdale will see snow for the first time since the blizzard of '94. This is not entirely factual, but in my personal history it sounds about right. I measure snow in two directions spanning from the moment snow first began to fall in Alfred in October of 2006: B.A. and A.D. (Before Alfred and Alfred Domini.) Snowfall B.A. meant ( Read more... )

Youtube recording available; also available at Project Playlist--make sure you search "Bible Study Marco Beltrami" or you will get recordings of sermons and such. While you might be into that sort of thing, it's certainly not the subject of my entry today.

I listen to a lot of film scores; I find them much more emotional than classical or baroque ( Read more... )

Yeah, the one from the Juno soundtrack. I don't particularly like Kimya Dawson, to be honest; most of her lyrics don't make a lick of sense to me. Her songs are cute, and thanks to the soundtrack boost, a ton of people are listening to her but I doubt that anyone is actually understanding her. Some obscure sense of musical justice in me screams ( Read more... )

If you want to listen to this song, you'll have to post your email address; there are absolutely no recordings to be found anywhere.

Brian listened to a lot of Chris Bathgate in the kitchen at Bitterroot.

every song i sing once was currency
to buy me love or things of which i've never seen
i will find you

I can't imagine not using songs as ( Read more... )

I have a knack for finding a song to fit a situation based on my perceptions of the other person's point of view. As small of a niche as that might be to fill, it gives my overanalytical brain something to do when I listen to music.

As a sequel to yesterday's theme of moving along, I found myself listening to this late last night and thought it fit ( Read more... )

Here is the incredibly distracting, seizure-inducing, poorly-matched-audio-and-visual music video for this song. It works much better if you don't actually watch it and just listen.
It also just occurred to me that I have my own recordings of "Move Along" and yesterday's "Fix You"...if you'd like a copy, please post your email address in a comment ( Read more... )
