when i'm in a good mood

the buzzcocks- love bites

the only thing that would make it better was if i was listening while driving around with the windows down

especially: ESP

i am sitting around in my apartment doing nothing and feeling guilty for it, so i am distracting myself with the undertones

in my defense, i did make a couple of google docs for places i want to go or things i need to see in prague

i am not the person who travels around every other weekend but i need to become that person for the next few months

japandroids, lucerna music bar 9/10/12

a fun music video:

train to svaty jan pod

 the raveonettes- lust lust lust

it was a warm day and trains are stuffy (i thought that was just something people said until i actually rode on a full train for an hour), and raveonettes is christmas or super hot summer music for me

especially: the beat dies

jeff buckley- sketches for my sweetheart the drunk

jeff buckley is one of those people who you need the volume up for most of the time but then sometimes he starts yelling. so most times i listen to him on speakers that aren't right next to my ears.

especially: yard of blonde girls

 josh ritter- golden age of radio

i don't always listen to golden age of radio, but when i do, i listen to me and jiggs first. and replay it a few times.

radiohead- ok computer

we were getting off the train to hike through a little village and i felt like i needed a little edge. i turned off the music very early into the hike, don't worry. i did my nature-appreciating.

especially: let down

stuck in my head the first week

jessica lea mayfield- tell me

different songs from this album pop into my head when we're on group tours but i'm walking by myself.

especially: nervous lonely night/tell me

the veils- the runaway found

 i think i listened to this album 'cause i was missing family/america a little, and i was in a big veils phase during a family trip to new orleans.

especially: the tide that left and never came back (this song made me cry once hah)

big sean- "dance (a$$)" from finally famous

when a song is a good song, you just can't fight it

but mainly because of this graffiti:

hanging out on the roof

gorillaz vs. neon indian- fallwood (carlos serrano mix)

those kids and their internet and their mash ups and their remixes

listen here

the night i couldn't get back to sleep

tom waits- blue valentine 

coolest of the cool

especially: a sweet little bullet from a pretty blue gun

phosphorescent- to willie

 fun fact: the first time i heard a phosphorescent song it was on skins, that british teen drama. it's kind of unfortunate that that show took up some much of my time BUT i did get to hear phosphorescent. this is an album of willie nelson songs and it rules.

especially: can i sleep in your arms

isaac joel- back to bassics

a nice album from isaac karns (pomegranates), good for a quiet hour or a not-falling-asleep hour.

especially: walk around the lake

you can listen to it/buy in on bandcamp

at the airport/on planes

 buddy holly: greatest hits

the best of buddy holly for the drive to the dayton airport

maybe not the best choice if plane crashes made me nervous but they don't 

especially: raining in my heart (but come on, it's buddy holly, they're all great)

middle brother- middle brother

fought the urge to sing along in the gate

 especially: million dollar bill (for being sad) and me me me (for tapping your feet to)

the magnetic fields- 69 love songs

best thing the magnetic fields ever put out, in my opinion

and i'm pretty sure i'm right

especially: i think i need a new heart

david gray- a century ends

thanks mom and dad and polly for playing this cd a lot around the house

especially: lead me upstairs

divine fits- a thing called divine fits

i'll pretty much listen to anything britt daniels makes, and it's hard to not hear spoon when you hear his voice, but it's a real nice 1st album. good for dancing if you're into that kind of thing

especially: shivers (the boys next door/rowland s. howard cover)
