Close to Me - J'aime !

A Cure original....Universal Music will not allow me to post their video. So I went for the next best thing a cover of the song...
The Get Up Kids covering The Cure's "Close to Me"

GREAT SONG>>>>
I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick,
I wish I'd stayed
Asleep today,
Thought this day would never end
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me

Just try to see in the dark,
Just try to make it work,
I feel the fear
Before you're here,
Make the shapes come much too close,
Pull my eyes out,
Hold my breath and wait,
'Til I shake

But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this,
I made myself so sick
I wished I'd stayed
Asleep today

Never thought this day would end,
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me,

But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream

Title: Bandages
Artist: Hot Hot Heat
Album: Make Up the Breakdown

These bandages cover more than scrapes, cuts and bruises from regrets and mistakes
I've been hoping you're moping around the street again
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
These bandages are anonymity.........

I went to the Underoath, Saosin and Devil Wears Prada show this past weekend for Bobby's bday. It was a good time and to make a really long and funny story short I ended up sleeping in my car.

Title: Thrilla in Wasilla
Artist: Bhi Bhiman

I am posting this song in celebration of the upcoming election. Everyone else is getting political, why not me as well? I still can't believe that I used to deliver pizza with this guy in Santa Cruz. He used to bring his guitar to work and when it was slow he would serenade us. His band Hippie Grenade also played at my 21st birthday party. Anyways, Bhi has major talent and I cannot wait to see him live when I get back out to the CA. rock on BHI......

Great Song.....Enjoy!

Pick of the Week 2.5

Title: Despite What You've Been Told
Artist: Two Gallants
Album: Two Gallants

So...this song is compliments of Kristopher Robin. I actually saw these guys last year when they opened for Against Me! in Charleston, SC. At the time I had not heard their music. I love hearing a new band for the first time live. It really shows you what they are made of. The song I wanted to post was "Ribbons 'Round My Tongue" but there is no video for that one. Well I will put that one on my box.net  account and put up a link for those interested in downloading it.

So these guys are on Saddle Creek and it seems that they can make a video. Even though I think clowns are a bit scary. I can somehow relate to this sad clown.

btw...
From now on if I have the song I post in my iTunes library, I will link the file to the title of the post for your downloading pleasure.
goodtimes.

Pick of the Week 2

Title: I Never Wanted You

Artist: Headphones

I heard this song by a band called Headphones......then my musical investigation uncovered that this is the dude from Pedro the Lion, David Bazan. This is his post Pedro project and is more secular (not religious). They are currently on hiatus and only released one album in 2005. I need this album.....i love this song and i just heard it for the first time 5 minutes ago. Let me know what you think.
