agh, this one is sooo sweet. the captain goes soft on us, but it’s totally awesome. you may recognise this one from the big lebowski. yeah, it’s great.
this is probably my fave from elvis costello. it’s a beautiful, “i-told-you-so-bitch” tune and i really love it. here’s a live version, because i couldn’t find the lp mix on youtube. :7)
i love this one. it’s so sweet, and it’s especially nice after a good ol’ run-through of transatlanticism. it’s a bit depressing, lyricswise, as are most death cab tunes, but the instrumentation is light and rather uplifting. a juicy contradiction!
so, i finally got into high violet and it’s so good. every song is brilliant. the first track, “terrible love” has got some sweet guitar effects and nice vamping. it’s great, man. great…
i’ve been bumpin’ this one for a few days now. it’s such a feel-good song. i love van the man and i think this is one of my favourites of his. “ding-a-ling-a-ling!”
this is a song i can really resonate with. that drive home from “your place” can be really melancholy at times, and there’s always the regretful thoughts that make me wish “i’d stayed a little longer.” anyway, this song is beautiful and i love it.
the way this song builds is fucking incredible. it blows me away every time. this band makes me wish i was icelandic… or at least lived in iceland… or had talent… or a high, beautiful voice… :7(
this is an amazing song. buffalo springfield kicked ass, and neil young still kicks ass. this tune was so ahead of its time. those strings… damn…
y’know, cassadaga is a sweet album. conor and bright eyes sound really cool when they go full-out alt-country. i’d like to hear more from that side of the band. here’s “hot knives,” a cool song by a cool musical act.
god bless you, stuart murdoch. if you’re feeling sinister is a damn good album. the guitar in this tune is crazy quick and i love it. p.s. belle and sebastian have the prettiest album covers. the colours rock a whole lot.
