    Recently I went all the way to Seattle to go to Bumbershoot to see The Decemberists, Neko Case, and Bob Dylan.

    The Decemberists played this, and it's sooooooooooooo good. It reminds me of their older stuff and Tarkio (Colin's college band).

    So I've just been listening to this and their 5 Songs EP on repeat recently.

    With:

    In between. Because I just loves me some Owen Pallett.

    That and Metric's original version. Both are wonderful. The album it's off of...is kind of meh, though. I understand what Beck was aiming for, but it just makes me wish Beck would have polished the songs more. Oh well. It's a decent album, especially for a movie.

    But very underwhelming for the likes of Beck, Broken Social Scene, The Black Lips, and Metric under the guidance of Nigel freaking Godrich!

    ^ I'd have sex with that woman.

    Right now:

    Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

    Argh, I love this song. I have so badly (re)fallen in love with this band after The Suburbs had finally clicked in my mind and their recent live Youtube performance from Madison Square Garden with Terry Gilliam. I think it took me a while to really like The Suburbs...just because it's not what I really wanted from the band, I wanted more Funeral. More No Cars Go and Wake Up, less Month of May and Modern Man. But whatever. The Suburbs is fantastic. I think the band realizes they may never make a masterpiece like Funeral, and don't care to try and do it. Radiohead seemingly does the same thing. They'll probably never make another OK Computer or Kid A, but hell, Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows are still good in their own right.

    I've also been listening to a lot of James Mercer stuff (Broken Bells and The Shins). Because, I swear, Starbucks just plays the same songs over and over again. It's mostly all Shins and Broken Bells, spots of Spoon, Elliott Smith's Waltz #2, and sometimes Belle and Sebastian, Vampire Weekend, or Modest Mouse. But it's rare to not hear James Mercer's voice when I'm out front doing stuff during work. Not an extremely bad thing...

    and since I started that rant, the song has changed to:

    The Mountain Goats - The Mess Inside

    And I know no one cares about my rants, other than me. But whatever.

    The only bad thing about Hearing Damage is the album it's on.

    Argh. Twilight ruins everything.

    I recently discovered that The Smith's Rubber Ring runs right into Asleep. And oh my god I loves it, so beautiful, especially Asleep. sigh~

    They play a Stars' cover of Asleep at work sometimes, and it just utterly memorizes me and makes me utterly depressed. Not a good tool for productivity.

    I've never understood why Creep is so popular. I GUESS it's probably one of the most accessible of their songs. But I never felt like it was anywhere near as good as Paranoid Android, Karma Police, Street Spirit (Fade Out), A Wolf At The Door, Idioteque, Optimistic, Knives Out, Pyramid Song, 2+2=5, There There, Talk Show Host, Fake Plastic Trees, Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, and (probably my favorite) How to Disappear Completely.

    But I do like it. And it's certainly a stand out of Pablo Honey. (although that's not very hard when you compare that album to any of the others, it's so weak.) It just saddens me that such a great band is massively celebrated for such a minor song in their repertoire, that really doesn't represent the band whatsoever.

    Bear didn't move this topic back. D:

    :mellow:

    Well I'm going to double post, whatever. (mainly so Bear notices)

    Today I decided my life has recently been devoid of tales of international espionage, people being eaten by whales, and youth sports, so I have of had The Decemberists' album Picaresque on repeat. My favorite. My love.

    And also this song by YMCK. Which I also remembered existed.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY AME!!!
