Elliott Smith Twilight

This song has been killing me. For some reason I really like depressing music, and, well Elliott Smith was pretty depressed I guess. As is this song. Gets me right here (*hand on heart*)

I like how this sound. I like harmonies. I don't wanna blog about it now

El Guincho- Bombay

The cosmos is all there is, or ever was, or ever will be. The cosmos is also within us. We are made of stars. We wish to pursue the truth, no matter where it leads. But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both.
ps. this video contains some nudity, so yeah.

Fun.

Stumbleupon is probably one of my favorite things. While stumbling I found this website called tuneglue. Its just a great website where you can search a band and it gives you a handful of related bands. While on it a couple days ago, I searched both Jukebox the Ghost and Tally Hall and both were related to this band Fun. I gave them a quick look-see and enjoyed what I heard. They're based in New York and formed from the two bands, The Format and Steel Train. I haven't really heard much of those two bands but I wouldn't be surprised if they were a talented bunch as well.

A Combination of 3 of My Favorite Things...

...Robots, Sting, and Electro-pop. And hey, just goes to show that celebrity nepotism doesn't always have a shitty result. Yes, that was directed at you, Miley Cyrus.

Self Machine - I Blame Coco. Enjoy.

Riot?

UMD students rioted just off campus last night after receiving news of Osama bin Laden's death. Justice served, but is a riot of celebration really the right move?

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

Grateful Dead - Ripple (Studio Version)

While watching Freaks and Geeks today, a scene about the album American Beauty by The Grateful Dead caught my attention. American Beauty is one of the legendary albums that everyone is suppose to have in their collection, so I decided to download it and give it all my attention for the first time in a while. If you have never done that, you really should. Great album to listen to driving with the windows down in May.
