Thanks to Jared and his Song of the Day (SOTD) Emails – I now have a new fav band.
Sexy track. Check it – When I’m Small off their Eyelid Movies album.
“I’d rather die than to be with you…”

No. We don’t.
Agreed times a thousand. I appreciate those in my life who know when it is best to leave something be. I push away those who want to talk something ad nauseum and can’t seem to let go.

Happy Birthday…to me! :D Best way to celebrate any event is with music – and the song I consider to be MINE is “Pass this On by The Knife”.
I first heard this in 2005 and I have never grown tired of it. Close friends associate me with this song, which has nothing to do with the lyrics (obviously). There are tons of songs that have a deep personal meaning to me…but this is different. No hidden meaning, it doesn’t make me stop to reflect my life…It just connects me to happiness and memories of getting friends to slowly like and open up to something a little different. Like me.
03 Pass this On (mp3)
It also happens to be my favorite music video (next to “November Rain” which I love for nostalgic childhood reasons). Enjoy!

New album, 100 Lovers came out March 1st and they are playing a show at the Highline Ballroom March 23rd. I need to go.
DeVotchKa – All The Sand In All The Sea
Discovered this song and artist for the first time today thanks to iTunes Genius. I must have played it 20+ times in a row. It’s during times of discovery – I can’t imagine living life only knowing the music played on the radio.
Video – and mp3 of album version for your viewing & listening pleasure.
Sophie Hunger – Le vent nous portera
Was super excited when I woke up Friday morning, and received news (via twitter) that the digital download of The King of Limbs was available a day early. While I listened to it while at the office, I was able to give it a proper listen today and so far – my fav track is Codex.
No one gets hurt…You’ve done nothing wrong. Slide your hand… jump off the end. The water’s clear and innocent…
“The calm,
Cool face of the river
Asked me for a kiss”
“Suicide’s Note” by Langston Hughes (1902-1967)

Even though I am already over this topic – I do have to say one (xs 20) thing(s). Not knowing who Arcade Fire are – doesn’t make them random nobodys. It makes you musically ignorant to think of them that way. There is a crapload of music out beyond the top 40 people.
So congrats Arcade Fire.
Who, by the way dropped their first album in 2004. Their last album – “The Suburbs” sold 165,000 copies within the first week alone. In addition, when it was released, it debuted as #1 in the US (and Canada, and Ireland). They have had songs in commercials, trailers to films etc. You may have even seen this page shared via facebook some time ago http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/
I am rambling.
Here are some of my favs. One per album.
Arcade Fire – Suburban War (“The Suburbs” – 2010)
Arcade Fire – Windowsill (Neon Bible – 2007)
Arcade Fire – Rebellion (Lies)
(Funeral – 2004)
