Come In Please - Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes

Once upon a time I was the hurricane boy
There was no eye in me for you to hide
Head low don’t show oceans in my eyes
As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow

Daddy’s on the mountain yellin at the bloody sky
Mama’s in the mirror actin out another life
Children in the schoolyard singin ‘everybody dies’
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin sentimental lies

Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide
That way no storm could follow our tomorrows
But Shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder
CLAP!
All hail to death’s boy-wonder

JJ’s in the kitchen talking bout the end of times
Mo’s thowin Kerouac to Catch Her In the Rye
Tempermental yogis bakin merryweather pie
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin sentimental lies

Sometimes said it’s suntime
Let it sunshine on my mind

All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line

Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade
The clouds passed in and out of my reflection
And everyone I’ve known held my hands till they were clay
And the storm finally bled from my complexion

Now Jadey’s on the mountain singing ‘We will never die’
The band is in the rainbow playin love for you and I
Heath is riding shotgun aimin at the paper sky
And I am only ‘I am’ now I’ve opened up my eye
I am only ‘I am’ that I’ve opened up my eye

Sometimes said its suntime
Let it sunshine on my mind
Healing I need healing
A good feeling I can shine
Feel it like you can see it
Like you can dream it in your mind
Sunny Hallelujah comin to ya
Rain or shine

All the same its Conscience waiting
Cross the line

I believe in waking up together

epic.



Drunk Girls (Holy Ghost! Remix) - LCD Soundsystem

(Drunk girls)
(Drunk girls)
(Drunk girls)
(Drunk girls)

(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls cause a couple of heart attacks
And drunk girls are unusually mild
But drunk boys, drunk boys keep in pace with the pedophiles
And drunk girls are boringly wild

(Drunk girls)
Drunk girls get invitations from nations
They got the patience of a million saints
(Drunk boys)
They steal, they steal from the cupboards
And drunk girls, drunk girls like to file complaints
(Drunk girls)
(Drunk girls)
(Drunk boys)
(Drunk girls)

Drunk girls are like a night of simplicity
They need a lover who is smarter than me
Well, drunk boys, drunk boys, we walk like pedestrians
And the drunk girls wait an hour to pee

Drunk girls know that love is an astronaut
It comes back, but it's never the same
Darling, drunk boys have such beautiful feelings
And drunk girls can be just as insane

Oh oh oh
I believe in waking up together
So oh oh
That means making eyes across the room

(Drunk girls)
Just 'cause I'm shallow doesn't mean that I'm heartless
(Drunk girls)
Just 'cause I'm heartless doesn't mean that I'm mean
(Drunk boys)
But sometimes life gives us too many options
(Drunk girls)
Just 'cause you're hungry doesn't mean that you're lean

(Drunk girls)
I've heard lies that could curdle your heartstrings
(Drunk girls)
A couple truths, maybe burn out your eyes
(Drunk boys)
Drunk boys leave their irons in the fireplace
(Drunk girls)
'Cause drunk girls give them too many tries

(Drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls...)

Oh oh oh
I believe in waking up together
Oh oh oh
I believe I'm waking up, but no promises
Oh oh oh
I believe in waiting out the weather
Oh oh oh
I believe in making eyes across the room
(When day becomes the night)
Oh oh oh
I believe in waking up together
(When day becomes the night)
Oh oh oh
I believe I'm waking up, but still
(When day becomes the night)
Honestly, honestly, honestly
Unless it hurts, why do it?
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
(When day becomes the night)
(When day becomes the night)
(When day becomes the night)

with the moon i run

I had my ipod on shuffle when this came on and i was like wow who is this? The only kings of leon i knew were the tracks everybody knows namely sex on fire and use somebody. i like this way more. It's super good for me these past couple of nights when i cant sleep. seriously ive been getting 5 hours per night. on a different note (or actually the same lol) i thought i recognized the intro tune. it's pretty much the same as the track "this is why i'm hot". but, of course, i like it better here. it's more spooky. Fits right in with this john lennon track i plan on posting soon. you'll see.
p.s. now im really regretting sleeping through the kings of leon set at bonnaroo =/



Closer - Kings of Leon

Stranded in this spooky town
Stop lights are swaying and the phone lines are down
The floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangle of veins
Showing no mercy, I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying, baby, I'll bleed you dry
The skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

You shimmy shook my bones
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby, where do I sleep?
It feels so good but I am old
Two thousand years of chasing taking its toll
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

make it hard to take a breath

<3 (aka Heart) - Butterfly Bones

What I really wanna know
Baby, can you take control
When the pushing come to shove
Baby let your love come I've
Got you in my sights
Just can't get away

Yeah, I know this kind of love
Know it might get kind of rough
And I just can't get enough
Girl, you know I want it
You so soothe my eyes
Take away my pain

, originally uploaded by holding tomorrow.

What a love, what a love
What a love, what a love
What a love that you give to me
Aww, you're doing things
Baby, doing things to me

I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know how to let you go
When you're lying next to me
When you're lying next to me, oh no

What a love, what a love
What a love, what a love
What a love that you give to me
Aww, you're doing things
Baby, doing things to me

I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know how to let you go
When you're lying next to me
When you're lying next to me, oh no

Girl, you push me to the edge
Make it hard to take a breath
Keep on pushing 'til the end
Baby are you coming? Oh
I'm through wasting time
Know you feel the same
(Know you feel the same)

You don't move me anymore

I listened to this a lot in the past two months. It seemed to fit perfectly with how I was feeling. I'm still listening to it although I'm completely over that whole situation. So, in summation, I'm a happy camper and here is a song I listened to when I was upset. Part of the backlog, so to speak.



O.N.E. - Yeasayer

One's not enough
I won't stop 'til I've given you up
Clear-eyed as I am, it's hard having fun
It's much easier said than it's done

tv land, originally uploaded by Alex Moya.

Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to

No
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
'cause I can't have you anymore
But I thought you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Because I can't take it anymore
Oh

, originally uploaded by the five plus you and me.

The room's still now when I'm lying
'cause the well of the night has gone dry
When they ask to behave, I pay them no mind
Now I doubt if I'd have been so kind

Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to

No
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
'cause I can't have you anymore
But I thought you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Because I can't take it anymore

Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to

No
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
'cause I can't have you anymore
But I thought you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Because I can't take it anymore

But I found you should know

It feels like being tranquilized
I know the separation kills us so
But I won't stop falling like raindrops
Because I like it when you lose control

Pick me up or let me fall or change me all around

free over at rcrdlbl!!



What shall we do now then, Jerry?
Nothing’s on my mind
August heat has come and set
The tenements on fire

If the night brings jasmine on the breeze
Everybody looks like police
See the light see the shade
Are you afraid? Am I afraid?

Pick me up or let me fall or change me all around
With the afternoon in darkness,
Will it still come round?

See the light, feel the heat
See the faces in the street
See the stars see the sky
Like a razor on mine

And the people drift down from the avenues and lines
With coat and shoes I’m on my knees

What shall we do now then, Jerry?
Nothing’s in my heart
All my life my hands are empty
Haunted in the dark

If I fall in love with you
Are we one or am I two?
This is all I know
That my life is so

i'm back

Wow that was a long hiatus. I'm going to blame the pressure of posting on my sudden departure. I just was too lazy to post Lolla day 3 reviews and it was all downhill from there. I've missed it though and had the urge to post many times but then in my mind there's been this backlog and it all felt overwhelming. This always happens to me; with academics, with my photography, and now with this blog. Hmm...
Anyway, this blog is something easy for me to get back into so that's exactly what i'm going to do. I may never post lolla day 3 reviews. who knows? whatever, time for music and photos!!

Lollapalooza day 2 reviewed

Wow what a day. I'm completely exhausted but I have to write this up while it's still fresh in my mind. Here's who I saw:

The Morning Benders - Great. They're so adorable! I got up actually in the morning just to come see them cause there was nobody else I really wanted to hear for hours after them and although they played a short set, it was totally worth it. I then stood in line and got an autographed CD and totally dorky photo op.

The Soft Pack - Pretty good. I heard them while waiting for signatures from The Morning Benders. Sounded decent. The girl I was next to said they sounded like the White Stripes a little. I'm not sure if I agree but I guess I'll YouTube them and form an opinion from that.

Blues Traveler - Good. Not my usual scene but they were catchy and upbeat. I just stretched out and enjoyed the sun during the show but I could see people dancing and having fun.

Gogol Bordello - Pretty good. I spent most of this show at the way back looking for my friends so to be fair, I don't think I got the full effect but yeah they seemed fun and had some cool outfits.

Grizzly Bear - Pretty good. They sounded different than I expected live and we missed "Two Weeks" (maybe they opened with it?) so it was a bit of a disappointment. But yeah, it was pretty good. Perhaps it would've been better closer to the stage?

Metric - Very good. They're as good live as on their albums, if not better. Very talented and everyone in the crowd was enthusiastic. (Side note: totally saw a girl pass out twice in a row from the heat at this show. Everyone be careful and stay hydrated!)

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes - Great. I heard them for the first time at Bonnaroo and since then have become a fan. They sound great live. Wish I could've gotten a ticket to see them in NYC... next time I guess...

Kaskade - Good. I only caught a couple of minutes but it was solid. Would've been better late at night but yeah.

Cut Copy - Best of the day. I looooooove them! I super groupied out and bought a t-shirt and pushed to a good spot in the crowd (which was pretty crazy) and recorded as much as my little cell phone could handle. I danced and I sang along and the lights were changing colors and it was serendipitous. They played a couple of new tracks which were, of course, awesome. Can't wait to get the new album when it finally comes out.

Empire of the Sun - Great. This show was packed with people cheering "fuck Green Day". There were costumed dancers and smoke and lights and sexy tunes and visuals and it was such a beautiful overload seriously. Unfortunately I got stuck to the right of the stage after barely surviving the crush zone with the help of some Canadians. I can't even make this stuff up. So I had to watch from the side and couldn't get the full effect but I can tell you that Luke Steele was wearing his signature head piece (cool!). Check this youtube video for a better idea of what I'm sure the show was like from the crush zone. It was also crucial that I go to this because I had to give up my Empire of the Sun ticket for Monday to be here but it'll all be worth it.

Phew after all that I was exhausted and ready to go to bed but then finally, at around 1:30 a.m., I convinced myself to meet my friend at the afterparty with JFK from MSTRKRFT and Midnight Conspiracy, after all, I planned my afterparties around Midnight Conspiracy but didn't make it out last night. Well, when I got there I realized my friend's phone had died and I was alone but I decided to have fun anyway. It was really sick this venue, Vision, is like 6 stories I think. I thought I was going some back way and found myself in a whole second dj area. Eventually, I spotted Louis Kha from Midnight Conspiracy on stage and let some random drunk local sneak with me onto the back of the stage so I could say hi. He's totally chill. He said they aren't playing anything Monday or Tuesday, my last two days here, so I know I can't miss the afterparty with Digitalism even for an hour tomorrow if I want to see them live, which I do. Definitely should have gone out earlier tonight and not vegged out with microwave pizza for so long =/

I'll add photos at a later date.

Lollapalooza day 1 reviewed

I got a late start but here was my day:

The New Pornographers - Very good. Only caught a few minutes but they sounded good and the crowd was enthused.

Matt & Kim - Great. I saw them before in nyc opening for cut copy and they were awesome then too. Kim has longer hair now but they have that same great energy and antics. Matt even climbed 100 feet up the side of the stage. I want to hang out with those kids more than anything!

The Black Keys - Great. I just saw them so I wasn't paying attention that much but they're awesome.

Erol Alkan - Very good. A random new friend took me to this and I skipped Hot Chip I mean I just saw them and I was down to try something new. Erol Alkan was a good scene there was room to dance so everyone was just letting go and having fun. It had more of a Bonnaroo vibe than any other show today.

Chromeo - Best of the day. I've been dying to see these guys live and they were awesome. I think this was the best show of the day. They were energetic and upbeat and good to dance to. I'd looooove to see them again.

Lady Gaga - Good. I chose Lady Gaga over The Strokes because although I listen to The Strokes more, Lady Gaga is truly an icon of our time and a performer. I felt like I was at the theater with all her costume changes, props, dancers, and monologue interludes. There were several slow songs in the middle where I got bored but it was a solid show overall and very entertaining.

I missed Devo, Dirty Projectors, Tiga, and The Strokes. It breaks my heart but I simply cannot be in two places at once. I think the one I regret the most is Tiga because I never hear about him doing shows in nyc. Aaaaaand now I'm late to go see Midnight Conspiracy...
