Great sad piano song of the day: "Look What You've Done" by JET. It has simple lyrics but is worth a download i think. (right click and chose "save target as" or "download linked file"... its safe... weve been over this....). If you ever need a crying song, this is useful to have in your library. It was also featured in A Lot Like Love, one of the bestest movies of all time ever ever! (sorry, im still a 13 year old sometimes). But really, bestest movie ever. Just ask Marcie.
Hidden Gem:" Junk" by The Beatles. This is a track off of The Anthology (Disc 3), which i borrowed from my dad. I havent heard this one before but i found it peaceful in that nap-in-the-late-afternoon kind of way. The guitar is beautiful, im so happy this was on the list today, and that i was paying attention enough to really hear it.
Solid Jam of the Day: "Careful" by Guster. I feel like i need to tell my short little "guster story." I find it hilarious but it may be stupid. You let me know. Soooo i had this red mixed CD with "guster compilation" written on it. One day i was talking to mallo and referenced said mix CD. She responded that she never really listened to much Guster. Now, i was instantly confused, because i had just assumed that the CD came from her after about a year or two of having it. I told her "no, no you have over 20 Guster songs, how else would you have burned me a CD?" She really insisted she never made me a CD with guster so i checked the handwriting again. Not her. I started worrying, wondering where the hell my CD came from. I asked my sister, my other friends, anyone i could ask. Nothing. Now i was just confused and thinking that this CD was sent from hell to inflict torture upon the unaware owner/listener. About a year later i saw that my friend/alternate dimension sister Jillian had posted a Guster lyric as her Facebook status. OH MY GOD. CLICK. recognition. I instantly txted her asking about Guster and she said "of course, i burnt that for you a couple years ago when you guys stayed with us in CT." Of course. OF COURSE! magic! enlightenment! the curse lifted! i was so happy, no longer a crazy owner of a hell-sent CD. I think of the story anytime Guster comes on. So thats the Guster story. Youre welcome.
Gold Star- *Misfit" by Elefant. At that first twangy guitar riff i get SO EXCITED! This is the gold star hands down. It has summer crush written all over it. By the time the chorus plays im imagining driving a girl home late on a summr evening after a day of random adventures, the smells mixing somewhere between sun tanning skin, sugary soda-pop, and a dusty front dashboard. Download it and tell me if you can see the pink and orange sky fading under an onslaught of deep midnight blue. This line right here is my favorite, it always inspires me to remember the artistic spontenaity of life:
Picked a girl up at the trainstop where I live
Took a drive along the beach by the ocean
Talk about the dreams we had while we were growing old
Wrote a poem on the back of your shoulder
Jamming with the KStorm award: "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin. There are some great lines throughout this song, one of my favs is below:
Didn't take too long before I found out
What people mean by down and out.
I always feel really sexy when i sing this one (more so than usual, if you can believe it). I mean, like, come on. Have you listened to the lyrics? DAMN. Good job Plant, good job Jones.
What did i just say yesterday?!? award: "Something There" by Kristen Fink, Mike Smolko, and Cast. I mean really, this is weird. I just talked about how these songs are going to come up. Can i explain how disturbing it is to hear yourself speaking and singing in a British accent? I still remember all the lines and notes. How is that possible? Ah the magic of theatre.
More to come tomorrow.
