the humpty dance - digital underground

hoon is in hawaii, but i'm pretty sure this is what she would have posted if she were here. hoon loves this track, which i guess explains why she's always eating up all my crackers and my licorice.

if you asked me when i was 10 years old what the coolest thing ever was, i would have said this song. sometimes i'm real proud of 10 y.o. me.

bon jovi - blaze of glory

The thing about this video is that it's weird and hilarious. Jumping jacks...

at some point, you get sick of being sad and you lay back and think you're gonna just sift through the cracks between all those atoms and disappear. but you don't. you're just laying there and your body starts getting bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger and you break though the roof and sprinkle down plaster on the hobos that walk in front of your house and you get bigger and bigger and break all the trees over everywhere, and then you get bigger and bigger and bigger and you bump the moon out of the way (it goes spinning somewhere), and then bigger, and bigger, and bigger and the meteorites are shooting through your body like tiny BBs and you get bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, brushing back all the galaxies and galaxies and galaxies forever until your body is all big and donuty like the universe is supposed to be and the suns and planets and things are glinting off you like that face glitter you can get.

titus andronicus - titus andronicus

opportunity to cry - willie nelson

i guess we're all a little sadder than we thought.

i may be in love with both of these people. also, this is a favorite song of my life. well, there it is i guess. surprised i didn't go sadder. i got the sads real bad.

you really got a hold on me - zooey deschanel + m. ward

I saw American Hardcore some time ago with a few unlikely punk fans and remember walking away from the show a little sad that I hadn't heard Bad Brains til right then. I never really did much to cure all that sad until my beekeeper reminded me of them recently. Oddly enough, here's the first thing I found while acquainting myself with them. Here's to versatility...

Bad Brains - Jah Love

i like this song. i really do, but i'm posting it here because i can't stop thinking about this scene from the movie. i feel like crying about it, wet-faced and red.

jim james & calexico - goin to acapulco

resolve.

l'arena - ennio morricone

dear prudence - the beatles

the girl gave my this on a thing and now it's a ghost up where the things i think are thunk.

first, as it was written and performed by tw on frank's wild years.

second, as it was used in the second season.

this was first season.

the blind boys of alabama - way down in the hole

Tom Waits - Way Down In The Hole

Hey Rex, which came first this one or the one on that tv show you like (liked?) so much?

promised

fender stratocaster - jonathan richman

our swinging pad - jonathan richman

I really hope you don't hate this.

The B-52's - Dance This Mess Around

i jus' got my tickets to jonathan richman next month. if i could, i'd post 16 songs here, but i can't. here's two that i like. maybe next post is jonathan richman too. hmm... likely.

jonathan richman - my jeans

always impressed with his observational song topics. and the song itself is rather grand.

and to balance, a cover

jonathan richman - satisfied mind

I'm going to say that Rubber Soul is my favorite Beatles album. That's subject to change, mind you, but it's how I feel today. As I listened to it this morning I realized how apt to the day the album is. At whatever phase your relationship (or lack thereof) may be, you can find a song that pinpoints the hysteria you're feeling.

Happy Day babies.

little brother (electric) - grizzly bear

many thanks, 1.618. crosswinds.

'08 is starting out on the right foot with a new Destroyer release. Fairly new to me though, is some recently discovered lo-fi bits from his younger destroyer days.

Destroyer versus McCarthyism

couldn't resist another track from the dirty projectors latest. the titular:

rise above - the dirty projectors

much to swoonover (sic)

oh, i'm a goner.
