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

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

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.

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.

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.

Tahiti 80

I heard Tahiti 80 for the first time on Pandora. I think I like them because they're different. And a lot of their music makes me feel happy which is always a hit with me.

These are my two favourite songs by them. I can't decided which I like more so I'll post them both. They have many other good songs so be sure to pick up their albums.

Tahiti 80 - Mr Davies
Tahit 80 - John Steed

Bedouin Soundclash

I loooove the Bedouin Soundclash especially their singer's wonderfully boyish voice. I can't explain it, but I love it every time his voice cracks. Maybe because it makes me think he's giving his all no matter what which never fails to make me smile.

Bedouin Soundclash - St. Andrews


'Love come save me too.'

I like The Shins because their music is so whimsical and fun! If you haven't, check out all their albums.
