Telepopmusik - Breathe

My friend introduced me to this awesome band lately. Listen to it and just breathe.

Metric - Gimme Sympathy (acoustic)

best way to start a day.

Los Campesinos! - The Sea Is a Good Place to Think of the Future

This is the new Los Campesinos song posted to their website couple of days ago. It really gives a seaside+beer kinda feeling to me. The way the shore is described in the 2nd verse is just wonderful. The sea IS a good place to think of the future. The music video shows this feeling perfectly. Definitely a top 10 song for me this year.



I just have to copy the lyrics as well because I'd feel bad about leaving them out.

THE SEA IS A GOOD PLACE TO THINK OF THE FUTURE

I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
I said “you’ve taken the diet too far, you have got to let it slip”
But she’s not eating again, she’s not eating again, she’s not eating again, she’s not eating again.
I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate, I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant.
She was always far too pretty for me to believe in a single word she said, believe a word she said.
At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation, from allergic reaction to a general anesthetic. She spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions, in a futile attempt to know more than the doctors.
She said one day to leave her, sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide
to drag her to the ocean, to another sea’s shore.
This thing hurts like hell,
but what did you expect?

And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind,
A thousand years in perfect symmetry

Best known left wrist right finger, through all the Southern States, on every video games machine they call her triple A.
There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking, the chat show host, he joked “you have to wait for the government program”.
You talk about your politics, and I wonder if you could be one of them, but you could never kiss a Tory boy without wanting to cut off your tongue again.
A good place to look to the future is when you are sat at the sea, with the salt up to your ankles and a view of the end of the pier, you may look down at your model’s feet and wish that you’d just float away, and the weather here is overcast and the sea is the same shade of grey, so the landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world, but to the left side and the right side, either way is a crazy golf course.
The sea is a good place to think of the future.

And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind,
A thousand years in perfect symmetry
A thousand years no getting rid of me
A thousand years in perfect symmetry.

A Bit of Mute

Here goes Fever Ray's new music video. Followed by a Maps song off of their new album Turning the Mind out on oct. 20. And last but not least, the new A Place to Bury Strangers song from their soon-to-be-released new record Exploding Head.

I Dream of Crystal



Apparently the best place the bury strungers is In Your Heart.

Reboot with Phoenix

I took a holiday break this summer and I wasn't sure whether to start again or not, but T+S is releasing their new album along with some books very soon and I have to blog for my studies as well, so it's good to have a little practice here. It was an awesome summer with lots of concerts and festivals but unfortunately now I'm back to living the dull life of a university student. Anyways, for starters, let here be posted the international anthem of the summer of 2009, that is, Lisztomania by Phoenix.



This is a nice mash-up of some John Hughes movies and a bit of Kevin Bacon magic by avoidantcustomer. It's better than the original music video.

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is what I've been listening to most of the summer. It feels exactly like listening to the first Arctic record a couple of years back. I love it how Thomas loses his accent while singing. It might not be their most complex album but it's definitely their catchiest. Lasso is the best song from the album, but since it's not a single (yet!), let's watch 1901 from their interface sessions. You can watch acoustic versions of Lisztomania and One Time Too Many as well as an interview with the band if you follow the link. God I love acoustic sessions.



Listen and rave to this awesome record while it's still warm outside kids.

Moby - Pale Horses

Snow Patrol - The Planets Bend Between Us

Frost - Sleepwalker

I bumped into this norwegian duo while watching Röyksopp videos on youtube. I fell in love at first noise.
