Animal Collective- Cuckoo Cuckoo.

How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy

The king in I died
He kept floating past my eyes
And singing his songs
Life was good now death's all wrong
Cause you can't feel a thing
No heart flutters in late spring
You just drift and pray
For sun kissed golden days

And I can't hold what's in my hand
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned
And little kids sliding down the steel park slide
Little kids can't play with things that have died
Sometimes all I want is one favorite song
And two to three minutes don't seem so long
And where's my mom I want to hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo

He said please stay
You can see me, don't go away
I can't see the landscape
Please describe its amaranthine haze
It's odd where I am
There are people you're not like them
They just look away
For rain quenched golden days

And my tears quench five feet of lawn
And I can scream, but I cannot yawn
And people gonna come and people gonna cry
He just woke and dreamt and ate and died
Don't try and erase what you have done
Put your fingers in a mouth and kiss it if it wants
And where's my friend, I want to hold him tight
He's so far away from mountain lights
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo

Evan Miller - Three Songs For A Six String Guitar

Instrumental bedroom recordings perfect for all those miserable nights alone spent drinking shitty whiskey and convincing yourself that you don't care that your "friends" haven't called you in weeks.

By far my favorite of all Evan Miller's recordings.

The Warlocks - Heavy Deavy Skull Lover

If you're into drugged out droney rock, like Methodrone era Brian Jonestown Massacre, then you'll love this lesser known gem of the same genre.

Bobb Bruno - Dreamt On ep

Bobb Bruno plays guitar/bass in Best Coast, but makes better music on his own. It's definitely worth checking out.

Merchandise - Strange Songs (In The Dark)

Merchandise - I Locked the Door from Id House Vid. Group on Vimeo.

I'm pretty positive that this is my favorite album of 2010. I don't even really want to describe it because nothing i can will do it justice. It's like blown-out and distorted with these subtle and somehow at the same time well defined melodies, brought to you by some of the dudes in the late Cult Ritual. It kind of makes me think of New Order, if New Order was a living being, who as a child was locked in a basement, or better yet a shitty cold dungeon with no lights, and they were forced to write hit after hit after hit. It's absolutely beautiful.

Reading Rainbow - Prism Eyes

Reading Rainbow is a two piece from Philadelphia Pa. They play that noisy lo-fi-ish garage rock that EVERYONE else is doing, except they do it like a billion times better. It's too bad that the band name is so lame. Anyway it's an awesome record.

Oh yeah, I'm John and this is my first post on here. I plan on posting things regularly. I hope you enjoy.

Continuing My Obsession

Ok, so after Kirsten Dunst was brought up in one of the previous posts, my obsession with her has been reawakened. Hence the following playlists. These two mixes, titled If I Were Sofia Coppola (I and II) are a collection of songs from her movies, and they're damn good. 

Part One

Soap&Skin

 Hey, I'm the new girl. I'll be posting stuff as well from now on.

This is the first album from 20 year old Anja Plaschg (known as Soap&Skin.) She makes dark, ethereal music similar to Zola Jesus and Metallic Falcons.
