Grandaddy


This is another band I heard about from Pandora. I don't like all their music, but this song is good. I always makes me do the robot dance.


Grandaddy - Stray Dog and the Chocolate Shake

Third Eye Blind


Wow, I haven't added a song in so long. I keep getting these warnings from the website I use to upload songs telling me they're going to delete my account because I don't use it enough. So I had better get using it again!

This is a band I used to love waay back when I was 12 or 13. Maybe even younger. I rediscovered them again recently and they're still really good. Well the songs from the time anyway; I don't really like their new stuff.


Third Eye Blind - I Want You


'People always take a step away from what is true. That's why I like you around...'

Headlights


I heard about this band from another blog which maybe you have not visited so now I will pass them onto you. I like them a lot and all their music is good, (unlike some bands who only have a few good songs) so I think it would be a good investment to buy all their albums.

This song takes a while to get going, but when it does, it's does.. so give it a chance.


Headlights - School Boys


'Quiet's all we know.'

Kate Nash

This song makes sad because it makes me think past broken hearts and yet I still listen to it. I think that means it's good.

Kate Nash - Merry Happy

The Veils

So it's the holidays and I have time to do things other than studying.. I saw this movie called Mr Brooks, it was very interesting. It's about a serial killer who claims he addicted to killing. I like to think that people have ultimate control over what they do, but I can sort of relate. I do things I shouldn't do even when I know they'll only hurt me. Maybe I don't see it at the time.

This is the song that was playing during the movie's best scene. I will not give it away; you'll have to watch the movie yourself.

The Veils - Vicious Traditions


'He grew a blood red vision for all their good intentions'

The Postmarks


Sometimes, I think too much about the past and get really upset about things that have already happened and there's nothing I can do about. I know this is a silly thing to do. I listen to this song because it makes me feel like I'm over what happened but truly I wouldn't need it if I was.

The Postmarks are great; the lead singer has dreamy voice that helps you lose touch with reality. The second is a very nice cover of the Ministry.


The Postmarks - Good Bye

The Postmarks - Every Day is Halloween


'I'll be gone when you open your eyes.'

Final Fantasy

I went to his concert without listening to much of his work and was blown away. The overhead show is not to be missed.

This is a lovely cover he did of Peach, Plum, Pear by Joanna Newsom.

Final Fantasy - Peach, Plum, Pear

Spinto Band


This is a nice band John introduced me to. Most of their songs are about love. This one is nice.

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I've been having roommate troubles and school work troubles and I've become obsessed with Fullmetal Alchemist! An awesome graphic novel from Japan. but I've now read all 17 or so volumes and have no more excuse.

Spinto Band - Oh Mandy

Radiohead

In Rainbows came out of nowhere and it's all I've been listening to lately. Radiohead are the best.

Radiohead - House of Cards

Architecture in Helsinki

This is a lovely, whimsical band from Australia. I don't remember where I heard about them, but their music is always good to escape into another world.

This song makes me sad but also hopeful.

Architecture in Helsinki - The Owls Go


'Finding replacement with a heart sedated, I'll forget you'
