Motorhead - Ace of Spades

Bringing the blog fully up to date.  I overheard this song from the headphones of someone else on the shuttle bus from the Blue Line Airport station on the T.

The Magnetic Fields - I Wish I Had an Evil Twin

Today will be all airports and drinking, so I'm going to post this now.

Sometimes the good life wears thin.

The Magnetic Fields - I Wish I Had an Evil Twin

Mum - Venus on the Forehead

Late again.  No video for this one.  It isn't the most exciting song in the world, but it fit my drive home well.

Gruff Rhys - Shark Ridden Waters

It's just the way the sunlight catches your hair.

Gruff Rhys - Shark Ridden Waters

Russian Futurists - Sentiment vs. Syllables

I can't find a whole track anywhere, so I guess that's all there is.

Damn, this song sounded pretty upbeat on first listen, but the lyrics aren't that at all.

Yes, late again.  Song for Tuesday, 2/22.

Gutter Twins - Duchess

Cover of a Scott Walker Song... oh, and then there's a Neko Case version.

Light up your candles for me.
2/21 song.

Christine Fellows - Bird as Prophet

Fevered was the night you first appeared.

While the two albums of hers I have aren't great as a whole, there are 4+ really good songs.

2/17 song.

Bill Callahan - Jim Cain

I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the album on the first listen, but this song decompressed my week.

"Something too big to be seen was passing over and over me."

Nick Cave - Love Letter

So, this came up right after 12:00a on Valentine's Day.  I doubt anything will top it, so here it is, song 45 of 2011.

Happy V-Day to everyone, especially the person in Denmark who checks in on the blog.  Say hi sometime.

Nick Cave - Love Letter

Burning Airlines - Escape Engine

Make the ending as good as the show; burn as you go.

song for 2/13/11

Jesu - Silver

I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have given Jesu a second listen if I had heard this album when it was released.  Besides My Bloody Valentine, it took a lot for a band that included so much extended instrumental parts in their music to hook me.

Jesu - Silver

Chuck Berry - Maybelline

You started back doing those things you used to do.

Song for 2/11/11

Chuck Berry - Maybelline

Coralie Clement - Ça valait la peine

I have some doubts about Google Translator on this one.  It's also a little sad that the only link to the full song was someone's video from a bar, featuring his friends.

Modest Mouse - Bury Me With It

Sure as planets come, I know that they end.  If I'm here when that happens, promise me this my friend...I just don't need none of that Mad Max bullshit.

Cheers, happy Saturday.

Hot Chip - Over and Over

Spent most of the day shoveling and watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  I only listened to a handful of tracks, and this was one.

The joy of repetition really is in you.

Hot Chip - Over and Over

The Knife - Is It Medicine

I never could understand all the lyrics to this song.  The first few times I heard it, I thought it was:  "illicit medicine, the social skill."

Way to start the month posting 22 minutes late.

2/1/2011.
