5) I Should Have Kissed You When I Had The Chance - Castiotone for the Painfully Alone
I remember watching you go, and the long walk home past the blinking lights with the strip clubs and the Carl's Jr. And I remember brushing your hand and how it made me feel so sad. I wanted to hold you hand so bad. And this is the bus that'll take you away. I hope you enjoyed your stay. It wouldn't have worked anyway. I should have kissed you when I had the chance.

Reading too much into every single sign. I can't face you with the others all around. Oh no. I need some time to breathe. I can't fix what's wrong.

Shush. You didn't see that one.

Fitting, since I can't play RoN with Syd until I'm home from work. :(

All the Hall & Oates stuff is my Dad's. I swear.

One of my top ten Socks & Undies songs.

Or, as my sister sang it for years: "Secret Asian man..." :rofl:

American rock and all that stands for, including the twang of self-pity.

1) Poles Apart - Pink Floyd.
For some reason, this just kida...rubs me up the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, it's still better than a lot of crap these days, but it just seems like it's taking the piss outta Syd. Especially when the subject's been covered and then some.

2) I Just Wanna See His Face - The Rolling Stones
Off their finest album. Or is Sticky Fingers better? *head aspode*

3) Arnold Layne (live) - David Bowie
Bowie kicks ass, as does his cover of the Floyd.

A bit of a contrast to the above!

I love this song... I've written pages, upon pages, trying to rid you from my bones. One of my favorite lines ever.

You know what to expect from The Byrds.

3) Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
Now we're talking! Crank it up.

1) Subway Home - Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
"It gets worse before it gets better. That's what your best friend said in the letter. And all the pictures are still on the shelf. You're barely making rent by yourself. Your mom is worried for your health. You said it right from the start...these sorts of things fall apart. You take the subway home after work, from your job as a retail clerk. Spending all the money you've saved...records keep the quiet away. Up all night and sleep all day. You said it right from the start: these sorts of things fall apart."

2) Where Do We Start - The Avenues
"Looking for reasons where I can fuck it up and still blame it all on you..."

3) Caring is Creepy - The Shins
I <3 this song. It is one of my favourites.

4) Any Colour You Like - Pink Floyd
I'm pretty sure my iPod picked this next because I spelled "favourite" the British way. Or because I have a billion Pink Floyd songs on said iPod.

5) Don't Take My Sunshine Away - Sparklehorse
I love Sparklehorse. I know they're weird. But I love them. They are my Sigur Ros, because I am not a Sigur Ros fan. Only Sparklehorse kicks Sigur Ros' scrawny European ass. "Your face is like the sun sinking into the ocean...your face is like watching flowers growing in fast motion. All the kisses I swallowed like the mornings and hollows, our vines and treeknots will come unwound. Baby, you are my sunshine..."
 
Damn. I am hella lucky that we only post 5 at a time instead of 6. Now none of you will know that I'm listening to Anyone At All by Carole King, because even I am not THAT cheesy...

Oh wait.
 
Not a fan of Victory Rose, eh? Hoppipolla's quite good.

1) Welcome to the Jungle - Guns n Roses
Is any explanation necessary? Incidentally, why do we spell explanation like that when we spell explain with an i? Mad.

2) Symphony No. 11 - Shostakovitch
Crazy Russians!

3) That's the Way of the World - Earth, Wind & Fire.
Meh. I think Water got fired from the band.

4) Vals de la Bella Durmiente - Tchaikovsky
More crazy Russians! Good composers, gorgeous Siberian tennis players and victory in WWII. Here's to the Motherland.

Er...Foreigner?!
I wanna know what loooove is!
I want you show me!
I wanna feel what love iiiis
I know you can show meeee....oh girl!
 
1. Love You More - Heather Duby
Some electronica I love. This is one of them.

2. Remember A Day - Pink Floyd
Remember a day before today, a day when you were young. Free to play alone with time, evening never come. Sing a song that can't be sung without the morning's kiss. Queen - you shall be it if you wish...look for your king. Why can't we play today? Why can't we stay that way? Climb your favorite apple tree try to catch the sun. Hide from your little brother's gun, dream yourself away. Why can't we reach the sun? Why can't we blow the years away? Blow away... Remember...
Sigh. I heart Pink Floyd more than even I can possibly imagine.

3. Action - Clem Snide
Boy, if that isn't the perfect song for right now. "You're everything I want to do...because when there's love, there's action."

4. Death of a Salesman - Low
I want to learn this on the guitar. I love this song. "They said music's for fools, you should go back to school. The future is prisons in math..."

5. Quantum Theory - Jarvis Cocker
Go read these lyrics if you can find them. I don't think I'm allowed to post them here. Nobody sticks it to the man like ol' Jarvy. "Well did you hear there's a natural order? Those most deserving, end up with the most. That the cream cannot help but rise up to the top? Well, I say: shit floats."
 
1) She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult
m/ I awlays want to say '...on the sea shore' after though.

2) Just The Way I'm Feeling - Feeder
Eh. Quite good I suppose.

Ditto.

2. No More Mosquitoes - Four Tet
Fitting, since I've been driven crazy by the 20 bites on my feet for the past week.

3. Is This All That I Came For? - The Delgados.
A good post-shag song. Just kidding. Still an awesome song, though. I just couldn't help the innuendo.

4. A Normal Suburban Lifestyle is a Near Impossibility Once You've Fallen In Love With an International Spy - Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
It says it all in the title.

5. Gigantic - Pixies
And you think the things I say are innuendous...

3) Brilliant Mind - Furniture
You must be out...of your brilliant mind!

En Francais!

5) Trailer Trash - Modest Mouse
I always assume this is about the American south. I should give it a proper listen.
 
:lol:

Syd, I love you. You are awesome.

1. Af samme stof som stof - Under Byen
I think this is Belgian electronica. I always read the title in a Londoner accent. "Fff, Sammy. Stuff some stuff!" Because I have no idea what the hell it says.

2. Getting Better - The Beatles
It's getting better all the time. My appreciation for the Beatles, that is.

3. Tell Balgeary, Balgury is Dead - Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
Hearts of Oak = GENIUS! Go buy it. Or steal it. Just get it somehow.

4. Winterlong - Pixes
Black Francis may be an ugly fucker, but he knows how to rock up a storm. I heart the Pixies more than my siblings.

5. Misshapes - Pulp
Classic Cocker. HA! THAT would be an awesome band name...
 
:lol:
Reminds me of Sid Arthur. Apples and pears, dog and bone. Buddhism, take it or leave it.

1) Diamonds in the Mine - Leonard Cohen
Leonard is rather unhappy that the mine has run out of precious stones!

2) Live and Let Die - Guns n Roses
Ugh. I hate Paul McCartney and the stupid face he pulls when he sucks his cheeks in. "In this ever changing world in which we live in"? Fuck off.

3) Ramble On (live) - Led Zep
Ah, this is more like it.

4) The Cask of Amontillado - The Alan Parsons Project
The original tale of course written by Edgar Allen Poe. Say, that name sounds familiar...

5) Uncertain Times (live) - The Raveonettes
Love this song.
 
Poe? Yeah, she's a singer of some kind or other.

Also, that Eddie Izzard quote is one of my very favorites.

1. I.C.E. - Antibalas
No clue. It was one some new music, free mp3 site and I just clicked yes. There's some sort of horn playing in the intro. And it sounds pretty cool, but I'm skipping it for now.

2. We Have Mice [Boombox Version] - CTFPA
FTW.

3. Girls of Valour - The Delgados.
Wanging Scottish bands who I love and who break up before I ever get to see them in concert. Curse you, Alan and Emma and Stuart and whatever the hell the guy who looks like Sean Bean's name is who I can't remember...

4. Collide - Justin Clayton
Limb is an amazing album. If you can find it.

5. I Wanna Be Sedated - Ramones

Ignore the nonsense at the beginning and it's a class tune.
