I've been trying to listen to something other than Nine Inch Nails for a while now. Time to broaden my horizons musically. So here are some songs I've really enjoyed lately...

Sleep by Gliss

Here
We are
Tonite tonite
It's sweet as gold
You are you are
Sweet as gold
It’s so I said I can't fall
I said I said oh oh oh
Soul sleeper
Soul sleeper
Oh we need you soul sleeper
Soul sleeper
Fade
Tonite
With us
It's love
Far down far
We love all
It's all inside us oh oh
Soul sleeper
Soul sleeper
Oh we need you soul sleeper
Soul sleeper

The Book of Love by The Magnetic Fields

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing but

I...
I love it when you read to me and
You...
You can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb but

I...
I love it when you sing to me and
You...
You can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know but

I...
I love it when you give me things and
You...
You ought to give me wedding rings
I...
I love it when you give me things and
You...
You ought to give me wedding rings

Cheerleader by Grizzly Bear

Mention a name we know (we know)
I'll be attained, it shows. (it shows)

Please don't feign the rose (the rose)
Always the same, I know. (I know)

I'm cheerleading myself,
I should've made it matter.

I'm cheerleading myself,
I should've made it matter.

Go on, let it go- it doesn't mean a thing.
--(I'm cheerleading myself, I should've made it matter)--
Chance is on nothing changing.
--(I'm cheerleading myself,I should've made it matter)--


There's no time to go (to go)
Through the designs we know (we know)


Never mind, although (although)
Maybe this time we'll grow (we'll grow)

I'm cheerleading myself,
I should’ve made it matter.

I'm cheerleading myself,
I should’ve made it matter.

Go on, let it go- it doesn't mean a thing.
I'm cheerleading myself,I should've made it matter

Chance is on nothing changing.
I'm cheerleading myself,I should've made it matter

Go on, let it go- it doesn't mean a thing.
I'm cheerleading myself,I should've made it matter

Chance is on nothing changing.
I'm cheerleading myself,I should've made it matter

Dramamine by Modest Mouse

Travelling swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced breathing out listerine
I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya
And that you'd killed the better part of me
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean
But I still can't focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves
Travelling swallowing dramamine
Look at your face like you're killed in a dream
And you think you've figured out everything

I think I know my geography pretty damn well
You say what you need so you'll get more
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I said and you know what I mean
But I still can't focus on anything

MATADJEM YINMIXAN (Why all this hate between you)by Tinariwen

MATADJEM YINMIXAN SARHREMT YARATAN
Why all this hate between you which you teach your children

TOJAWAN ALRHALEM TATERARAWAN
The world looks at you and surpasses your understanding

WAR TOLIHAM ID'KOUFAR WAR TOLIHAM D'ARABAN
You who resemble neither a westerner nor an Arab

TOMANAM ISTIWSATEN TIDIT TINDARAWAN
Your faith in the tribes blinds you to the truth

WADA AL ASSAWKA IYALAH WALAIYEN DOWAN ADAHAR
Even if God were to send a blessing down for you to share

D'IMIDINET TAFLIST IS WADEK ATEKDAR
With a friend, they will only betray your confidence.

I think that's good for now. I leave for Oklahoma Sunday so this may be the last post for a while.
