This blog is half dedicated to Hector, and half dedicated to the rest of you.
Over the past few months, my tastes in music have shifted dramatically, mostly thanks to Hype Machine. If you haven't heard of it, you should probably check it out. It's a collection of songs from music blogs of all kinds all over the internet, and it has helped me discover some pretty wonderful stuff. The following list is a small selection of said wonderful stuff. This list is eclectic as hell. So if you don't like the first song or two, keep trying... I reckon there's something in here for everyone. 1. Realboy - The Ritz This song is just an impossibly fun take on an old classic. I chairdance whenever it's on, and I challenge you to not do the same. 2. The Chemical Brothers - Another World I think this song is beautiful. Secondarily, the video is pretty damn cool. 3. Ellie Goulding - Lights (Messed Drum&Bass Remix) I love her voice and I love the beat, and the two put together is just glorious. Can't stop listening. 4. Royksopp - Happy Up Here This song was perfectly named. I cannot listen to it without feeling happy. The best thing ever was when it came on my iPod while I was riding my bike down a hill on a summer afternoon, hands-free, with the wind in my hair. Just the best. 5. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes - 40 Day Dream A fair percentage of you probably will have heard "Home" by these guys, but I think this track is less popular. I would kill to see these guys live. I feel like they might change my life. 6. Hugo - 99 Problems This is a fantastically weird cover. Classic Jay-Z turned into something that makes me want to wear plaid and go to a barndance. What more could a girl ask for? 7. M'Black - Heartbreak (Bare Noize Remix) Yeah, I have a thing for dubstep remixes of songs with sexy female vocals. That's just how it is. If you're a dubstep fan, wait until the beat drops about one minute into this track and you will have an eargasm. If you're not a dubstep fan... Move along. 8. Sky Ferreira - Animal (Miike Snow cover) The Miike Snow song is great. In my opinion, Sky Ferreira makes it even better. Just her beautiful voice, a piano, and some melancholy lyrics. 9. Converse - All Summer (Converse = Kid Cudi + Vampire Weekend + Best Coast) This song makes me want to drive too fast in a car with all the windows down, preferably in the direction of a beach. The chorus is my faaaaave. 10. Geographer - Kites This song is beautiful in the sad way. And it's the kind of sad where the first few times I listened to it, I didn't really realize just how sad it was. And then one time out of nowhere I was just like, "Holy SHIT, is this guy singing or crying?!" So, so beautiful. 11. Tame Impala - Solitude is Bliss Now that I have knocked you down with that Geographer song, it only seems right to pick you back up. Want to have some fun? Tame Impala, baby! And knowing me I will probably continue to add to this. I hope you have enjoyed this episode of "Music I Dig" with your host... me.

STP ME
Buy my used tees please. --------------- BLOGGER-QUOTES THAT MAKE ME VOMIT SUNSHINE: iPear on Aug 23 '06 at 1:59pm I like you with cheese, I like you with eggs, I like you with legs, i like you with feet, I don't like you to eat, I like you to meet. with me on the beach, i would like to reach, out and give you a hug, because you're like a jug, of milk.....because I like milk, to drink, and I like you, to....think, with me, about...things...like you...and me...because...you're....lovely, and sweet, like meat, with sugar, on top......and...don't drop...out of ...high school or college...it will help increase your knowledge. Larlar on Oct 11 '06 at 10:37am I only hate when you're trying to unclasp the bra and she takes a knife and stabs you in the gut and starts pulling out your small intestine. iPear on Oct 18 '06 at 7:57pm oh, and then there's the assholes that push you forward in line and you end up penetrating the person in front of you, TALK ABOUT AWKWARD! jackanapes on Jan 23 '07 at 1:46pm all i know is that people largely are unkempt vultures who frighten small children, make dogs whine, sour milk that passes within a twenty foot radius of them, defecate in urinals, and masturbate in bookstores. margolove on Aug 31 '07 at 11:34pm you're all tall glasses of water. although I think deanna might be a shorter glass of water but she's just as good. margolove on Oct 14 '07 at 8:17pm if I had manpockets, deanna, I would totally put you in one of them. That's not supposed to sound that weird. margolove on Nov 20 '07 at 4:57pm deanna's LOLs are like +100 self-esteem points margolove on Jul 30 '08 at 11:32pm insecurities are like hobos... just drifting along from one place to another. iPear on Oct 16 '08 at 7:18pm I wish I could threaten to physically assault your pain away, and punch you a new smile. I would take your pain, and give it to myself, and I'd like sit on it, and suffocate it with my ass cheeks. don't be sad, sadness is a jerk who has never had a girlfriend. Khol on Mar 10 '09 at 7:58pm You know what I was thinking about the other day? Why would they name a condom brand Trojan? When I think of the word Trojan, I think of the Trojan horse and when I think of the Trojan horse I think of people (sperm) invading a city (ovum) when I really didn't want them too. Hm? Jackanapes mk.II on Aug 05 '10 at 11:07pm I am so happy that my boner has a smile and my smile has a boner. ----- Chipmnk on Feb 05 '09 at 12:05am A comma is the difference between "Alvin humped me" and "Alvin, humped me" Chipmnk on Feb 05 '09 at 12:05am There really is no difference between those two. The pause just gives me time to put on the condom. ----- Stevethegreat on Nov 23 '07 at 11:07pm I want to put preschool kayce in deanna's pocket. it would be like quadruple adorableness. ofthecoast on Nov 23 '07 at 11:08pm thats a lot of adorable for one space, steve... amaliaslash on Nov 23 '07 at 11:08pm you could make money off of that kind of cute  As a child, I had mood swings. THANKS, KEVIN!  And yeah, that's me, too.  |
