Flow sweetly, hang heavy, You suddenly complete me

A couple of reasons why this weeks pics are a little late...
for one I had a very busy Thanksgiving weekend. Next week is finals so I am preparing for that.... but mainly, once again I cannot decide which songs to choose. I have a couple of entire albums I want to talk about... but I think I will save those for when I have more time so I can really figure out what I need to say. So here are three awesome songs to check out or re-discover for now:
Soft Shock (Them Jeans Acoustic Remix) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I am slowly falling in love with Karen O. I couldn't see what all the fuss was about for so long but I am finally realize, I mean, I get it. She sure can rock out but I think she's shows off her genius the most when it comes to the slower songs. I am fluent in her older albums but It's Blitz! is a keeper for sure. I love this remix of Soft Shock as well as the original. Hysteric and Little are also great slower songs. Also you should get the video for Maps on itunes or some other form because it's perfect for the song. ok yeah next.
Arcade Fire - Maps (Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover)
yeah I think this whole thing is gonna end up being an ode to Yeah Yeah Yeahs or at least Karen O.
But seriously anything Arcade Fire touches is basically gold and the song is amazing in the first place... "win/win/win"...
Just to give you more options for your downloading pleasure.
Hysteric (Acoustic Version) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

!!!!!
Happy listening :)

Never Gonna Give You Up

AND DESERT YOU!!!!
I am obsessed with 80's one hot wonders... luckily for you, the day has not come where I will blog about it. Prepare yourself, it's coming sometime in the near future.
also I don't really feel like talking about these songs individually. They are all songs that came up on shuffle that I never really listened to before and now I really love. Mostly...rock... I don't like labels.
New Year's Kiss - Casiotone For The Painfully Alone

Last Flowers - Radiohead (in rainbows cd2)
gwah!!!!! so much. windfall - cass mccombs
ok this one I just want to say i had my doubts about Cass but I have come around since and I actually kind of love his latest album.

I'm Listening to The Music She'll Never Like

Life Slash Dreams - Dan Black
artist was recommended to me by last.fm. He kind of has an electric pop sound.
Squalor Victoria - The National
I can't believe I just started listening to this album, I mean... WOW. This song in particular is really beautiful. This kind of proves the theory that good things come in time. Forever and Always (Piano Version) - Taylor Swift
Honestly Taylor Swift kind of annoys me, I mean she writes her own and music and everything but she is not the best live performer. this piano version of this song is sweet and sad and I really like even if it's not what she actually sounds like.

so I have missed one or two weeks... sad I don't even know how long it's been.


Miike Snow - Plastic Jungle
This swedish band is getting a lot of hype.
This song is super groovy and the album is solid, take a gander.

The Dodos - Time to Die
no not the song, the entire album. So good, they are becoming a fav of mine fo sho.

Tegan and Sara - On Directing
so yeah you had to guess this was coming. The album is fantastic, I really like the direction they are going and I really hope to see them live. The lyrics to these songs are heartbreaking and relatable, perfect combo, right?
