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

You are not ill, and I'm not dead

Frightened Rabbit

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 sky

* great video

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)
so then love walked up to like

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

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

at least not to me
so, I do believe
that anywhere it goes
t's always with me..

.. and that's all we need

Tegan and Sara - I've Got You/Umbrella (live @ electric factory 10/03/08)*

Tegan and Sara - Call It Off (official video)
Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
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

*christ, those drums @ 2:29..aahhhhh

Tegan and Sara - Dark Come Soon (Interface Sessions '07)
Everything I say, I say to me first
Everything I do, I do to me first

We are accidents, waiting, waiting, to happen

In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Radiohead - There There [live acoustic]

Radiohead - Nude [live]
Now that you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

Radiohead - Unravel [Bjork cover]
while you are away
my heart comes undone
slowly unravels
in a ball of yarn
the devil collects it
with a grin
our love
in a ball of yarn

he'll never return it

Radiohead - 4 Minute Warning
This is just a nightmare
Soon I'm going to wake up*

And I'm lonesome when you're around. And I'm never lonesome when I'm by myself. And I miss you when you're around.

You’re all humming live wires under your killing clothes. Get over here, I wanna kiss your skinny throat. You’re a wasp nest, you’re a wasp nest..

REM - Strange Currencies
and I don't know what you mean to me. but I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, want to take you on

Smashing Pumpkins - Muzzle
i fear that i am ordinary, just like everyone. to lie here and die among the sorrows, adrift among the days
for everything i ever said and everything i've ever done is gone and dead
as all things must surely have to end, and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world

Great Expectations [Score] - Kissing In The Rain
Instrumental

I'll Love You With All the Madness In My Soul

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

Sea Wolf - Middle Distance Runner
So won't you run to me tonight? Tonight let's not talk about next summer, cause I'll only ever be a middle distance runner

Wolf Parade - You Are a Runner and I am My Father's Son
I'll draw three figures on your heart. One of them will be me as a boy, one of them will be me,
one of them will be me watching you run, watching you run, watching you run into the high noon sun

Sharon Olds, "Sex Without Love" [poem]

How do they do it, the ones who make love
without love?...

... they are like great runners: they know they are alone
with the road surface, the cold, the wind,
the fit of their shoes, their over-all cardio
vascular health--just factors, like the partner
in the bed, and not the truth, which is the
single body alone in the universe
against its own best time.
