Having trouble with my direction

Love Removal Machine :: The Cult

“Fell to the red room because she was there,
uh-huh-huh-huh,
a scarlet woman, she got me in fear,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
She said,
do all those things that you do to me,
you know what I mean, boy;
Do all those things that you do to me,
yeah.”

Fucking love this song Friday

Pump Up the Volume :: MOTD :: Top 5 Soundtrack Songs

What makes an unforgettable movie soundtrack? Is it the mix of songs that are collected and offered up to take home and play, evoking the memories of scenes and characters every time you listen? Does the right soundtrack elevate the movie its from, sometimes taking on a life of its own, or at times is a good soundtrack even better than the film itself? For me, my favorite movie soundtracks play like a well-crafted mix or playlist. The songs start and fade, weaving together into something seamless, that delights and surprises.

But this is your heart :: SOTD

Conor Oberst :: My Favorite Artists/Bands

Conor Oberst :: My Favorite Artists/Bands

I became enraptured by Conor Oberst singing and songwriting during a particular year that had a huge impact on my musical taste. It was the in the early aught’s, during the same time frame that I discovered Arcade Fire, Death Cab For Cutie, The Libertines, and Conor’s incarnation, Bright Eyes. I think it was Lua I heard first, a track discovered on a Mix CD that a good friend of mine made, and sent out for a musical Valentine’s present. Or, it could have been Lover I Don’t Have to Love, heard off of a Pandora station. I cannot recall which was first, but I do remember falling hard for both songs, especially the former. It wasn’t long after that I went out and bought I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning and LIFTED Or the Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground.
