The universe is shaped exactly like the earth



Modest Mouse - 3rd Planet
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over


The Mountain Goats - Going to Georgia (live)
The most remarkable thing about coming home to you is the feeling of being in motion again:
its the most extraordinary thing in the world.

Hot Chip - Ready for the Floor*
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it now

* video!

You are not ill, and I'm not dead



Frightened Rabbit
1st Unitarian Church, Philadelphia
10/17/08

Frightened Rabbit - Modern Leper (acoustic)
And that is you in front of me
And you are back for even more of exactly the same
Well are you a masochist to love a modern leper on his last leg?

I love the way you dance..


[expanse]

Chris Garneau - Relief
I love the way you dance
we can work it all out

I didn't go to see the city
I went to see it around you

Nose to nose
eyes all closed
this is what i said
we never ever end.

Great Lake Swimmers - Moving Pictures, Silent Films
Oh wake me please when this is over
Oh when the ice has melted away
I will be the same but older
or maybe twice the bear
that I thought I was

Neutral Milk Hotel - Untitled
*instrumental

ahhhhhh bagpipes

The Eels - Animal
If I could love you
I'm sure I would
If I could hold you
And feel understood
I'd be there now
But I don't know how
'Cuz I am an animal

Then I was that ache



If a violin string can ache, then I was that ache.
- Nabakov [Lolita]

Andrew Bird - Yawny At The Apocalypse


The National - Fake Empire*
Turn the light out say goodnight

no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything at once
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sk

Time, it's a crooked bow



Andrew Bird - Armchairs
In time you need to learn, to love

The ebb just like the flow

Bauhaus - Crowds
and this i'll say to you. and hope that it gets through..

;)

Beirut - Nantes (
La Blogothèque vid)
Well it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time
And in a year, a year or so
This will slip into the sea

This is cooling faster than I can



Tori Amos - Cooling (Sessions @ West 54th)

A little more for tea
Just to take the edge off
Just to take the edge off

Radiohead - Gagging Order (YouTube cover)*

Sunset Rubdown - Us Ones In Between
And in the darkness
I taught myself to hate.
But where were you, oh where were you?
And where the fuck did the sun go?

My Morning Jacket - Steam Engine
so! I do believe. none of this is physical
at least not to me
so, I do believe
that anywhere it goes
t's always with me..

Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at


Tegan and Sara - Nineteen (animated fanvid)*
I felt you in my legs before I ever met you
And when I laid beside you for the first time I told you
"I feel you in my heart and I don't even know you"
And now we're saying bye
