The Heavy – What You Want Me to Do

August 19th, 2010

The more I listen to The Heavy, the more I love The Heavy. Fantastic driving music, this. And sounds almost as good live as it does studio.

The Heavy – What You Want Me to Do

I’ve been loved
I don’t feel clever
One mans weakness
Is another man’s pleasure
I got no feelings
I got no heart
Can’t make no sense out of this
But I got to somehow

What you want me to do?
What you want me to say?
How you need me to be?
I can be that way
What you want me to do?
What you want me to say?
How you need me to do?
‘Cause I can do that…

When I feel tender
Like I’ve been lost
Put myself together
‘Cause paid my cost to be the boss
Now I ain’t sleepin’
I aint slept
I see what you see here
But in this life
You give what you get

  

The Boy Least Likely To – A Fairytale Ending

August 16th, 2010

The Boy Least Likely To – A Fairytale Ending

When I was young I was valiant and bold
I fought off dragons and wrestled with trolls
I was stupid
But I was brave

I’m still as stupid as I was before
And although I’m not that young anymore
I’m still valiant
In my own little way

Limping off into the sunset
With our tails between our legs
Remembering how it all started
And wondering if this is the way that
My fairytale ends

I still remember how gallant I felt
In a suit of armor that I made myself
Out of tin foil
And milk bottle tops

I guess that I’m just like everyone else
I find it difficult to be myself
So I pretend
To be something I’m not

But in the end everything has to
Turn back into pumpkins and frogs
I wish that it didn’t have to
And I’m wondering if this is the way that
My fairytale ends
Ends

Limping off into the sunset
With our tails between our legs
Muttering quietly to myself
And wondering if this is the way that
My fairytale ends
Ends

  

SOTD – Laura Veirs “Shadow Blues”

August 13th, 2010

Laura Veirs “Shadow Blues”

There’s a shadow beneath the sea
There’s a shadow between you and me
I’ve learned that love is scared of light
Thousand seeds from a flower
Blowing through the night

Your blackened kiss on my cheek
Your blackened kiss runs river deep
A stranded fish dear, I’m on the sand
Blue water from a pool
Up to the clouds I’ll land

Though I am dark ‘bout the whys of wanting
Though I am dark, I’m still a child
Gonna dig a coal mine, climb down deep inside
Where my shadow’s got one place to go
One place to hide…

  

SOTD Keane—Nothing in My Way

August 8th, 2010

Keane—Nothing in My Way

A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
why d’you laugh
When I know that you hurt inside?

And why’d you say
It’s just another day, nothing in my way
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna stay
So there’s nothing left to say

And why’d you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don’t know what you lie for anyway
Now there’s nothing left to say

A tell-tale sign
You don’t know where to draw the line
And why’d you say
It’s just another day, nothing in my way
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna stay
So there’s nothing left to say

And why’d you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don’t know what you lie for anyway
Now there’s nothing left to say

Well for a lonely soul, you’re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you’re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you’re having such a nice time
You’re having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, you’re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you’re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you’re having such a nice time
You’re having such a nice time

SOTD – Rasputina “My Porcelain Life”

August 3rd, 2010

Blah! I can’t find this song online anywhere to link to, so I will just link to a sample from Amazon.

It’s so quiet and calm and sad and lyrically lovely. I. Love. It.

You should buy this album, it’s pretty fantastico. Another song from it (Holocaust of Giants) is available for free download on Amazon right now, and I love that song too, so at least check that one out.

Rasputina “My Porcelain Life”

This letter you get it,
You burn it,
Forget it
It’s not what I meant to say
You might think me a scapegrace
Really a fugitive in decay
I exist here on an acre of nature
In the diminutive
But I’ll be thinking of you, I would wager
My favorite hypocrite

You are a master of the commerce of friendship
So I put all of my feathers on
I wrote you this letter, I’ll send it
When this foul weather is gone
Of your last words to me I am thinking
And of the depth of your eyes
But you can’t halt the profound shrinking
Of this, my porcelain life

You’re vexed that I reject your protection
Well I abhor captivity
I want to live alone in my little section
So very wild and watery
How to preserve my own mistaken perfection?
Or your refined vulgarity
I only tenuously ask you this question
Out of a sense it was for clarity

You are a master of the commerce of friendship
So I put all of my feathers on
I wrote you this letter, I send it
When this foul weather is gone
Of your last words to me I am thinking
And of the depth of your eyes
But you can’t halt the profound shrinking
Of this, my porcelain life

My porcelain life
My porcelain life
I find it very breakable
My porcelain life

  

SOTD – Swans “I Remember Who You Are”

July 29th, 2010

This song is the song of the day purely because this morning I could not get it out of my head, despite not having listened to it in ten years. So whoever, wherever I read what triggered this song to replay in my head all morning… Thanks? Anyway, now I give this to you:

Swans “I Remember Who You Are”

When other people say
You’re someone to misuse
Shut in behind your young girl’s face
And helpless in your bed of thorns
I’ll remember who you are
Yes I’ll remember who you are
I’ll remember who you are:
A young girl, unchained
Come back here now
I know you’re somewhere still alive
Strong behind your young girl’s tears
I know you’re somewhere unchanged
Oh I remember who you are
Yes I’ll remember who you are
I’ll remember who you are
A young girl, unchained
There stands a young girl naked
In her innocence unused
And she holds me in her small hand
And she smiles down on me
I am innocent in her dark eyes
I will lose my heart in the sand
You’re cruel but you’re good for me
And you hold me in your young girl’s hand
I Remember Who You Are
Yes I Remember Who You Are
I remember who you are
A young girl, unchained

  

Wednesday Playlist – Get Your Creative Groove On Edition

July 22nd, 2010

City-Wide Open Studios is a week-long event dedicated to the community of working artists in St. Louis. Free and open to the public, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore these creative spaces and enjoy one of the most exciting aspects of contemporary art—the chance to discuss art with the artists themselves.

http://openstudiosonline.org/

superbadgirl - You guys know it’s Open Studios this Sat., right? So for #wednesdayplaylist what music gets you in your creative groove? (topic via @narcise)

Grave_Danger – @Superbadgirl Define “creative groove”.

superbadgirl – When I sit down to write or make artz for an extended period, I usually turn to Loreena McKennit’s “The Book of Secrets” #wednesdayplaylist

El_Dickman – @superbadgirl “The Passion” by Peter Gabriel. #wednesdayplaylist

superbadgirl – To clarify for @Grave_Danger and others, any music that makes you feel inspired to do whatever thing you do best = creative groove. :-)

H_Wallbanger – @superbadgirl Miles Davis: Kind of Blue album works pretty well.

H_Wallbanger – @superbadgirl OH wait…I was thinking more work-related. Thing I do best? I don’t think I wanna answer that.

jamietoonart – @superbadgirl Combichrist, Ladytron, Aphex Twin #Wednesdayplaylist

superbadgirl – @H_Wallbanger Someone believes way too much of his own hype.

narcise – Studio music has been all about Fugazi lately. End Hits, Repeater, and The Argument have been in VERY regular rotation. #wednesdayplaylist

Grave_Danger – @superbadgirl I always liked having classical music in the embalming room. It was a must.

cbellers – @superbadgirl Zero 7, Shostakovich, Mozart. #wednesdayplaylist

bengoldman – @superbadgirl Depends a lot on what mood I want the art to have. Pretty much anything in my library can work. #wednesdayplaylist #lameanswer

violentecstasy – @superbadgirl Usually if I’m sewing or cooking (as close as I get to artifying), I’m listening to audiobooks. #lame #nerd #wednesdayplaylist

communique – @superbadgirl air’s “moon safari”

trmink – @superbadgirl Shake Yourself Loose by Vickie Winans. http://iLike.com/s/44kQ

jamesblackwood -@superbadgirl Pell Mell, something about the guitar kicks my brain in gear.

_bunny_ – @superbadgirl Trent Reznor’s Quake soundtrack. #wednesdayplaylist

Hope I got everyone, doesn’t seem like a lot of responses. If I missed you out, let me know or leave your info in the comments.!

  

SOTD – This Mortal Coil “Another Day”

July 17th, 2010

This Mortal Coil “Another Day”

The kettle’s on, the sun has gone
another day
She offers me Tibetan tea on a flower tray
She’s at the door, she wants to score
She dearly needs to say

I loved you a long time ago, you know
Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow
But I just couldn’t let myself go
not knowing what on earth there was to know.

But I wish that I had ’cause I’m feeling so sad
that I never had one of your children.

And across the room inside a tomb
a chance is waxed and wanes
The night is young, why are we so hung up
in each others chains
I must take her, I must make her
while the dove domains

and feel the juice run as she flies
run my wings under her sighs
as the flames of eternity rise
to lick us with the first born lash of dawn.

Oh really my dear I can’t see what we fear
Sat here with ourselves in between us.

And at the door we can’t say more
than just another day
and without a sound
I turn around
and I walk away.

SOTD – Bel Canto, Spiderdust

July 8th, 2010

Goddamn, I love Bel Canto. Not one of those bands I think of as a favorite, until I realize how many of their albums I have, and how many of their songs I adore. They’re just that band that’s always around, doing great things in the background.

I particularly love how many languages they sing in. That might be part of their charm, they have a poetry to their lyrics that comes from not being native English speakers. They put words together based on how beautiful they sound, without thoughts constrained so much by meaning. Phrases like:

  • Hodgepodge for haunted lusts
  • Sixteen rifts inside of me, inside this solid tube, inside is solitude, inside this solid tube…
  • There is a chapel in the woods where from the farthest-seeing senses rule

Are not typical English constructions I think. And that makes them beautiful because they can mean whatever you want them to. A little bit of the magic of Cocteau Twins and earlier Dead Can Dance, probably.

I think “Dreaming Girl” is probably my favorite song of theirs – but that changes based on my mood. Today it’s this one. Anyway, not an official video here, but just a way to let you hear the song in case you have not ever.

Bel Canto – Spiderdust

she lived in limbo
time showed no mercy
til an ingrate gave her
doses of a sweet poison
Ooh she got ooh she got hoodooed, voodooed
Ooh she got ooh she got finally released
she stirred huge cauldrons
with toads and henbane and…
spiderdust, spiderdust!
hodgepodge for haunted lusts
spiderdust, spiderdust!
hodgepodge for the evil-eyed
spiderdust, spiderdust!
hodgepodge for spellbound lusts
spiderdust, spiderdust!
Ooh she got ooh she got hoodooed, voodooed
Ooh she got ooh she got finally redeemed
she stirred huge cauldrons
with toads and henbane and…
spiderdust, spiderdust!
hodgepodge for haunted lusts
spiderdust, spiderdust!
hodgepodge for the evil-eyed
spiderdust, spiderdust!
hodgepodge for spellbound lusts
spiderdust, spiderdust!

she bred toads
she got burnt

  

SOTD – Fever Ray “Triangle Walks”

June 9th, 2010

Can I come over? I need to rest.

Fever Ray “Triangle Walks”

an apple and a berry plant
comes with a house
on the grass
who is that
to come by my house

stands outside my window
sucking on the berries and
eats us out of house and home
keeping us awake
keeping us awake

can i come over, i need to rest
lay down for a while
disconnect
the night was so long
the day even longer
lay down for a while
recollect

five AM
out again
triangle walks
magpies, i throw sticks at them
they laugh behind my back

getting a feeling
maybe i will dream again
having that feeling
when there’s no one awake
no no one awake

can i come over, i need to rest
lay down for a while
disconnect
the night was so long
the day even longer
lay down for a while
recollect

can i come over, i need to rest
lay down for a while
disconnect
the night was so long
the day even longer
lay down for a while
recollect
