The Flaming Lips – "The W.A.N.D. (The Will Always Negates Defeat)" (2006)

2010/12/09


I realized yesterday I've posted something like 750 songs at this point, and have neglected to play a single one from The Flaming Lips. Inconceivable!

Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush – "Don't Give Up" (1986)

2010/12/08


Sometimes… sometimes you just need to listen to this song to find the strength to push on…

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up
'cos you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

Sigur Rós – "Hljómalind" (2007)

2010/11/28


A calming song and some calming images of clouds… caused by atomic explosions… to close out your weekend.

This song is just fun. More fun if you actually listen to all the lyrics.

Fever Ray – "When I Grow Up" (2009)

2010/10/01


I put my soul in what I do
Last night I drew a funny man
with dark eyes and a hanging tongue

I take my work too seriously. I am the problem. I forget sometimes that you can cut the grass perfectly, but there is always that one rebellious blade and ultimately the grass is just going to grow wild again.

This past week has tweaked me a bit. Arguments with my coworkers over how things should be done, and then after giving up on that, a huge file server gone bad, leaving a huge mess for me to clean up, even though I had plenty to do beforehand. I need to reset the expectations placed upon me (largely by myself, I might add) and inform others of the reality. If they don't like it then maybe they should find me some assistance or replace me or something. They don't pay me enough to be their slave and I need my funny man drawing time.

Minus the Bear – "My Time" (2010)

2010/08/08


There was a set playing on WBER the other day an I was totally loving it, including this song. I had to cut it short because I realized I was going to end up late for a meeting if I didn't! Details. Details. But today… no meeting. Oh yeah baby. I get to listen to the whole song! Woo hoo! (Simple pleasures are the key to happiness, are they not?)

Crystal Castles – "Baptism" (2010)

2010/07/16


One of the comments on the video on youtube said "sounds like windows 95's sounds mixed with some porn running in the background" (by user IIShani). My thought was Atari game sound effects have reached the dance floor… and it is good!
