I love when a song stops you in your tracks and begs you to go get the album so you can hear more. Sometimes music grows its way into your heart, and sometimes you just know that you are destined to love it for a long time. A lot like people I suppose. And also like people, music comes and goes. Sometimes you're close to it and what it says and means is very real to you, and other times there is distance. I always love when music closes the distance and speaks directly to my soul. (again - like people)

You want the Candy - The Raveonettes

There are always more, but I wanted to throw a few songs up and I'll get back to it and hopefully post sooner than later.

Some good times thrown in amongst the usual downers. Saw Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist and enjoyed the music in that. Not overwhelming, but a pleasant background track for a youth oriented romantic comedy. Some bad times too, dealing with rejection and working through a lot of feelings. And some excellent music.

Hands Held High - Linkin Park
Is there a Ghost - Band of Horses
Human - The Killers
Why do I keep Counting - The Killers
Blush - The Raveonettes
Violet Hill - Coldplay

Last Saturday, I woke up with a song in my head but the only line I could remember was the short chorus consisting entirely of na na na na na na nas. I googled the line of na nas but could only come up with goofy power anthems from the seventies. So I just purposed to pay attention if I heard the song again. Lo and behold, later that afternoon, Sirius radio came through for me. The song was E-Pro by Beck. Short and sweet, but pretty damned catchy. Lyrics are pretty mysterious, but are existential and bitter... right up my alley. Anyway, here are a few songs that are getting it done for me right now.

E-Pro - Beck
Angels on the Moon - Thriving Ivory
Cheated Hearts - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Shut up and let me go - The Ting Tings
That's not my name - The Ting Tings
Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend
Handlebars - Flobots
Pork and Beans - Weezer
Viva la Vida - Coldplay


Always listening for the music of my life.
