This first youtube video has the full version of the song, which is what these lyrics are for but i'm also posting the official video below it because it's beautiful even though the song is shortened.
Baby I'm Yours - Breakbot
I thought I had it all together
But I was led astray
The day you walked away
You were the clock that was ticking in my heart
Changed my state of mind
But love's so hard to find
Your feelings changed like the weather
Went from clear to gray
On that cloudy day
How can I go on without falling apart
Love's so hard to find
When someone's on your mind
Listen baby, your wish is my command
Baby, won't you understand
That your wish is my command
What can I do to make my baby understand
Something tells me that I'm dreaming
I can see her there
Waving unaware
Our problems that have a tendency to keep
Keep the truth confined
Far from our minds
You need someone you can believe in
This I do declare
Trust me, I'll be there
The road that leads to heaven can be so steep
I will help you climb
Change your state of mind
Listen baby, your wish is my command
Baby, won't you understand
That your wish is my command
What can I do to make my baby understand
Your wish is my command
Baby, won't you understand
That your wish is my command
I can see us there
Waving unaware
This I do declare
Trust me, I'll be there
I can see us there
Waving unaware
This I do declare
Trust me, I'll be there
I can see us there
Waving unaware
This I do declare
Trust me, I'll be there
Listen baby, your wish is my command
Baby, won't you understand
That your wish is my command
What can I do to make my baby understand
Follow me into, into my sleep
Baby, I'm yours, I'm yours to keep
You got the magic that entered my heart and my mind
Your wish is my command
Baby won't you understand
Your wish is my command
Baby won't you understand
Your wish is my command
Baby won't you understand
Your wish is my command
Baby won't you understand

neon indian concert review
wow june certainly came and went fast i really haven't been keeping up with my posts. suddenly i'm getting a ton of visitors from france and i'm super flattered. bonjour et enchantée. looks like most french visitors are coming for breakbot lyrics so i'll post more from him soon (also cause breakbot is awesome!)
I saw neon indian live the other week and it was epic! i was front row center because i showed up at like happy hour. i also spent a good amount getting their vinyl and "should have taken acid with you" shirt. sadly, i didn't bring my analog camera because the rules vary so much on photography at concerts but i did have my cell phone so i did the best i could with that. those to follow.
There were two opening acts but i had no idea who it was. A group took the stage who looked like they were about my age. I raised an eyebrow at first i mean how could college-age kids open for neon indian? Then they played and i was in love. The vocals were great the songs were all different and engaging and it just plain sounded great! I made a trip out to the t-shirt/music vendors and discovered i had just seen Body Language but they hadn't played "work this city" so i totally had no idea. I dug out $10 for their ep "speaks" right then and there (although later found out it's $4.95 on itunes but whatever). definitely a band to watch. listen to Sandwiches on youtube and Work This City (Yes Giantess Remix) on last.fm so so good.
The second opener was Wild Nothing. Although they were really hot and charming when we chatted after, i thought their music was only ok. I'd never heard them before so it was hard for me to get into them but apparently that weekend they opened for the morning benders and they seemed well connected on stage so i'll buy a couple of things on itunes and give them another chance.
Neon indian is the brainchild of Alan Polomo, who composes all the music. Live, he performs with Ronnie Gierhart, Leanne Macomber, and Jason Faries. From where i was standing i could barely see Leanne over Alan so there really are no shots of her unfortunately. The performance was awesome. I saw them at bonnaroo but i had been completely unable to see the stage so i didn't get the full effect. They played all of Psychic Chasms plus the new single, sleep paralysist, plus, according to my friend, something from Alan's other project, Vega. Sounds like i have some more research to do, huh. They had good lights and neon trippy visuals. Alan and Ronnie were so close at times i could've touched them but decided not to be a total creeper lol. the crowd was good too apparently the show was sold out and every time we wanted to pee or smoke it was almost impossible to get back to the front. Neon indian certainly have done a lot in less than a year. it's worth mentioning that unlike pretty much every other artist/band i've seen live, neon indian played through every transition as if they were flexing their wings between flights. i liked the vibe that gave, like the band members were feeding off each other.
I met a girl there who had hung out with them after a show once before so with her encouragement, we stationed ourselves near the t-shirt/music vendors in the lobby. Sure enough, Ronnie and Leanne came out and chatted with us. They're mad chill. Ronnie signed my t-shirt so now it says "should have taken acid with you ronnie" haha. Neither Ronnie nor Leanne could reveal when their sophomore album may be coming out.
All in all i came away from that show feeling awesome and would totally see them again live and hopefully hang out with them again.
ditto body language who are actually playing july 1 with toro y moi at glasslands gallery and july 31 at mercury lounge. see you there

that boy is simply divine
not directed at anyone in particular honestly just feeling this song. lyrics were really hard to discern so any corrections would be greatly appreciated =)
Starlighter - Jupiter
in the night we must talk wish it weren't so bright
in the heart of a club on a saturday night
i hung out at the club waited at the door
finally found a path to the dance floor
ooh, the place is full
dress to kill is the only rule
ooh, no one can see
i want them all to look at me
on the floor saw him with his magical moves
people could not resist his incredible groove
eye and eye moved together back to that man
as i tipped in he caught me and grabbed my hand
some love in my heart, i feel
some love in my heart
some love in my heart, i feel
some love in my heart
we kept on dancing together all night long
and decided to leave in the early morn
and it seems we will get to a brand new day
he dropped me i caught me and it's all ok
ooh, he's so sweet
i cannot wait until next week
ooh, he's so fine
that boy is simply divine
some love in my heart, i feel
some love in my heart
some love in my heart, i feel
some love in my heart
ooh, he's so sweet
i cannot wait until next week
ooh, he's so fine
that boy is simply divine
some love in my heart, i feel
some love in my heart
some love in my heart, i feel

ode to caffeine pills
it's 6 a.m. and i can't sleep because i always forget there's caffeine in these stupid acetaminophen pills i take now and then (most recently around 12 hours ago) so i figure it's high time for a rant. i feel the need to rant at myself for ranting. i'm not talking about rants on here cause yknow if you come to my blog that's like reading my brain so of course it can be all about me sometimes. i'm just afraid i'm talking too much in real life, if that makes any sense. i met a bunch of new people recently and i feel like i just babbled away, volunteering personal information that they may not have been comfortable hearing yet. it's hard to gauge what's friendly and engaging and what crosses the line a little, especially when dealing with people from other areas, religions, etc. just as a random example, at the flaming lips performance of dark side of the moon at bonnaroo, wayne coyne (who did not look as smiling and sober at the concert as he does on his wikipedia page, belieeeeeve me) said something about the war george bush had gotten us into and i booed, forgetting i was in tennessee. of course, bonnaroo wasn't all tennessee people and not all tennessee people love dubya. my point was i really need to work on thinking before i speak sometimes.
anyway, yeah i'm back from bonnaroo. i have my little hipster moleskine full of concert review notes and i'll post that soon i'm just feeling so lazy on the internet front because every time i think about posting, i also think of the list of things i have to do that are more important. like right now i should be packing for going out to the tip of long island today. but instead, i'm getting some pent-up frustration out. unfortunately, it's only some because there's only so much i feel safe posting on this public forum. perhaps that's why i unload so much on unfortunate bystanders. aaaand we've come full circle. ugh. i feel so busy doing leisurely activities, i don't have time to take stock and figure out the rest of my summer. i've been wanting to take an academic course next month instead of that photography class i was excited about. i don't need more photography education but i do need to worry about my academics. well, if you've read my previous things labeled "chatter", you already know all this. my point is, paying for another photography class is superfluous. especially when i havent had a chance to set foot in a darkroom since... i don't even know when i guess that'd have to be last summer. wow. that makes me really sad. like remembering a pet that ran away a while back but just long enough that you forgot how it's fur smelled.
ok summer bucket list:
1) get school shit sorted out
2) process all film
3) print said film
4) clean room
5) bonnaroo scrapbook
6) read more books
7) become a world cup buff
8) cook my way through culinaria spain
9) deep clean my room (like donate stuff etc.)
10) concerts concerts concerts lollapalooza (just bought my ticket!)
11) get my bike from Massachusetts somehow
12) set up sewing machine and make stuff (at least the dinosaur costume)
13) meet more people in the city who'd do stuff like go to concerts with me and wouldn't flake if/when i want to throw another dinner party
14) grill
15) chill
17) learn how to make remixes
16) get laptop fixed (ugh)
18) go fishing
19) MORE ADVENTURES... where to go? maybe i should learn how to drive so i could just take off. i keep reading things on yknow "top ten summer road trips" and "most scenic drives in america". then again maybe that's a bad idea cause that shit's expensive, as i've learned. i did like the camping thing though. maybe i can go on some overnight hike somewhere oooh!
blah that wasnt much of a summer bucket list as much as a list of to-dos and wishes. whatever. i forgot to put "make my own peppermint ice cream" on there.
post-bonnaroo i've been super happy. i know this post might sound contradictorily whiny (remember, i havent slept) but seriously my faith in humanity has been restored. i embrace the world with open arms and am optimistic things will fall into place. i skipped seeing the morning benders on saturday to stay home and cook. it felt awesome and now i have guacamole. i also made my first peach cobbler of the season. sooo good! (hah get the reference? if you do and are willing to admit it, that makes you chill in my book)
CAFFEINE CAFFEINE CAFFEINE i'm gonna go make chicken salad at 7 in the morning so the chicken doesnt go bad while i'm gone CAFFEINE

now I'm hung up on a dream
Continuing with the free downloads over here, i'm really feeling the tough alliance today. The first track i had of theirs was "Neo Violence" which is free somewhere on the urban outfitters music blog. It's super catchy. This cover of "hung up on a dream" by the zombies is cute and light and perfect for such a pretty summer day! Also it's available for free on Chickens Don't Clap!
Hung up on a dream - The Tough Alliance (cover)
Well I remember yesterday
Just drifting slowly through a crowded street
With neon darkness shimmering through the haze
A sea of faces rippling in the heat
And from that nameless changing crowd
A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air
I stood astounded staring hard
At men with flowers resting in their hair
A sweet confusion filled my mind
Until I woke up only finding everything was just a dream
A dream unusual of its kind
That gave me peace and blew my mind
And now I'm hung up on a dream
They spoke with soft persuading words
About a living creed of gentle love
And turned me on to sounds unheard
And showed me strange and clouded sights above
Which gentle touched my aching mind
And soothed the wanderings of my troubled brain
Sometimes I think I'll never find
Such purity and peace of mind again
Hung up on a dream - The Tough Alliance (cover)
Well I remember yesterday
Just drifting slowly through a crowded street
With neon darkness shimmering through the haze
A sea of faces rippling in the heat
And from that nameless changing crowd
A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air
I stood astounded staring hard
At men with flowers resting in their hair
A sweet confusion filled my mind
Until I woke up only finding everything was just a dream
A dream unusual of its kind
That gave me peace and blew my mind
And now I'm hung up on a dream
They spoke with soft persuading words
About a living creed of gentle love
And turned me on to sounds unheard
And showed me strange and clouded sights above
Which gentle touched my aching mind
And soothed the wanderings of my troubled brain
Sometimes I think I'll never find
Such purity and peace of mind again
