4 for Friday

High Five to the Universe. For Reals.

1. The Knife - Girls Night Out ...and we laughed at the moonlight far beyond. and we ran through the moonlight far beyond.
2. Placebo - Special Needs Just 19 this suckers dream I guess I thought you had the flavour
3. Kings of Leon - Cold Desert Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs. I've always been known to cross lines
4. Magnetic Fields - You're My Only Home I will hide what you want hidden and I'll roam if you say roam but I'd just as soon you didn't because you're my only home

4 for Friday

1. Coil - Are You Shivering - From the album "Musick to Play in the Dark Vol. 1" it is absolutely that. This might be my favorite Coil track. To me their weirdness and darkness and theatricality and intricacies of sound are totally present and at their best here.
2. PJ Harvey - Happy and Bleeding - Old school PJ, before she got all polished and theatrical. I used to have quite the angsty time singing to this album.
3. Ryan Adams - Wonderwall - I never thought an Oasis song could sound good.
4. Iron & Wine - Sea and the Rhythm - My favorite Iron & Wine song. I could die to this.

6 for Saturday

So I was terribly busy running around adventuring yesterday and wasn't able to post my 4 for Friday, so to make up for that I'll post 6 for Saturday. That's two more for the price of nothing, my friends.
1. The Knife - Got 2 Let U
2. Coil - The Tenderness of Wolves
3. Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues
4. Combichrist - Sent to Destroy
5. H.I.M. - One Last Time
6. Death from Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine

4 for Friday

So this is a little thing I'm going to start doing cause I've always wanted to have some sort of music feature for this blog but I didn't really know what. So on Fridays I'm just gonna hit shuffle on iTunes and post the first four songs that come up. Woohoo.

1. Jens Lekman - Run Away With Me This is one of my favorite Jens songs. I'm going to see him in a couple of weeks. I'll make sure to try to propose to him. Again.
2. Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Sink Ships This is one of those Ryan Adams songs (much like Cherry Lane or Meadowlake Street on Cold Roses) that starts out fairly standard and mediocre and then switches it up at the end and becomes just sort of amazing and transcendent. I can't really describe it any better than that, but he's really fucking good at doing it.
3. Bonnie "Prince" Billy - You Remind Me of Something (The Glory Goes) A good Bonnie song. Very nice to sing along with.
4. Einstürzende Neubauten - Good Morning Everybody And now for something completely different...German experimental noise music. I like Blixa. He's tied with Warren for title of my favorite Bad Seed.

So hopefully I'll keep my motivation and continue doing this. I will confess that I did skip posting the real third song that played because it was a 17 minute long spoken word type thing by Coil. Should I have gone ahead and posted that? I have a lot of weird shit like that that will probably pop up from time to time in doing this so I guess I should figure out if everything is fair game or if I'm going to keep it strictly "Music music".
