how embarrassing

so the only song I REALLY like on the new moon soundtrack and Pitchfork has this to say "Elsewhere, Editors could finally rid themselves of Interpol comparisons with oppressively maudlin cabaret crooner "No Sound But the Wind", but you'll only wish there were no sound."
...of course!

ok two people that read this....

Hell - Tegan and Sarah
I am SOOO excited for this album... comes out Tues.! Go BUY it! It will be worth the money, and Chris Walla produced it.
They are coming to Portland in April and it's already written on my calendar. (figuratively) Dressed to Kill - Landon Pigg
Started listening to him again cause of Whip It. If you haven't scene it, he plays Ellen Page's love interest who makes her swoon by play her sweet love songs and swimming in pools with his clothes on. This song is pretty cool and the lyrics are rightfully straightforward. Criminals - Atlas Sound
I am really diggin this album right now. I guess if you read pitchfork you are probably diggin it as well or dug it last week.

So many good songs.... how can I be sad?

Ok so I have too many things to list here. I guess I won't post anything from all the new soundtracks I have obtained because you probably know and/or own them already...
oh except one song I think is really great...

ok so I will get the soundtrack song out of the way
Editors - No Sound But The Wind (New Moon Soundtrack)
This soundtrack was a pleasant surprise with artists it managed to pull together. I guess I kind of high expectations from some of the more obscure artists but I think overall it's worth listening to.
Arcade Fire - Crown of Love
so I hope everyone has heard this song, if you haven't go do so right now. I just needed to express my love for this song.
ok moving on.
by ratexlaSnow Patrol - One Hundred Things You Should Have Done in Bed
Can't believe I just discovered this album. Final Straw will always be number one in my heart but this older album is truly great work.
Bjork - Triumph of the Heart
ok first of all the music video for this song is AMAZING and makes me crack up every time. Bjork never ceases to amaze me. She is so effing creative and innovative.

I guess I will stop there and leave some songs for next week.

Time is all you have Careful what you say


Why Waste More Time? - Rosie Thomas
This song is just lovely. The lyrics are beautiful and honest. Rosie's voice is so unique, it's innocent mixed with a tinge of bittersweet reality.

Can You Tell - Ra Ra Riot
I am HOOKED on this song. I think if you just give it a listen you will see what I mean.
The Girl - City and Colour
Ok so second week in a row for CIty and Colour.... but seriously this album is THAT good. This song is kind of heartbreaking and sweet and romantic...all of my favorite ingredients haha.

I Hope It's Gonna Make You Notice.

It has been way too long. I thought I would be updating everyday after I got my wisdom teeth out. I was laying around but I was pretty much asleep all the time. So now I am completely moved into my new place and I have some awesome tunes for you guys to check out!!!

Use Somebody (Kings of Leon Cover) - Paramore
I really love Paramore and I think they are really starting to grow musically. I haven't heard the new album, I think its one I need to buy. I have been hearing nothing but good things about. This Kings songs is great and I like Haley's voice covering it. I really enjoy live sessions like this so I guess it's a win/win/win for me.
Inoculate The Innocuous - The Unicorns
an oldie and a goodie! Loooove The Unicorns
As Much as I Ever Could - City and Colour
Dallas Green's voice is amazing and his lyrics are just as sweet. If you are feeling emotional and need some melancholy tunes then check him out.... I haven't heard a song I haven't liked yet.
