Imaginary friends that always knew one day I'd leave for good.

Since I've been on a major new music kick lately, all y'all need to hear what I've been listening to the most. DUH.

Tilly and the Wall - Night of the Living Dead

Introduced to this band by my friend Maria, whose boyfriend's bandmate is the brother of a member in this band, and the same guy is also in Bright Eyes, which is slightly more well known. This song mentions Atlanta and is kind of fucked up and fun.

Oh and just when we thought we were no longer lost
They kicked us out into the dirty streets of Atlanta
So it's Friday night down on North Avenue
Where gas station parking lot prostitutes
Try to fix their hair in our rearview mirrors
You know we're just trying to get to the club and shake our asses

Rilo Kiley - Better Son/Daughter

Kind of my theme song a little bit lately.

But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
And you'll be be better, you'll be smarter
More grown up and a better daughter
Or son and a real good friend
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts

Joker's Daughter - Under the Influence of Jaffa Cakes

Just discovered Joker's Daughter, very surreal and storytelling, I think it's great. Unfortunately I can't find any lyrics. SADFACE.

Lady Gaga - Just Dance

This song = just too fun. I never even go to clubs drunk. And I love it.

I've had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush.
Start to rush by.
A dizzy twister dance
Can't find my drink or man.
Where are my keys, I lost my phone.
What's going on on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.

Cherryholmes - Broken

The Boy Least Likely To - The Boy With Two Hearts

So I was talking the other day here about how this would make an awesome Doctor Who song. And thus I have tracked it down for whoever needs it.

Something grew out of nothing at all
The way things sometimes do
It grew so big that before I knew it
It had outgrown me and you
I am the boy with two hearts
I am the boy with two hearts
And there is only so far
I can be stretched before I come apart

Little Boots - Meddle

Got this song from the brilliant teagirls comm, which you should all go and join. Because they post even more music than I do, WOOO. I think this song could be good for any sort of girl song, but I also kind of want to apply it to Echo (Dollhouse) or River (Firefly) because: 

Don't meddle with the heart,
or meddle with the mind,
or meddle with the things that are inside.
You don't know what you'll find,
you don't know what she hides.

Blake Hazard - Conversion to the Diver Species

montycrowley sent me a this Blake Hazard cd for Christmas and I have to adore her for it, because it's wonderful.

Jane Vain and the Dark Matter - These Ghosts

I awoke to this song on the radio the other day and was instantly captivated, even in an early morning fog of headachy sleep deprivation.

We've been hurt
Now we can
We used to run away
Now we stand
Stealing hearts
As two stones
We pretend we're surprised
But deep down we've always known

Black Kids - I'm Making Eyes at You

Another song Maria had on a mix cd she gave me.

I'm making eyes at you
I've been making these eyes now, making these eyes since '82
I've been making them green and grey and brown and delta blues
I'm reciting a mantra but I can't tell you cos you're missing to me
That's all you'll ever be

Rilo Kiley - Go Ahead

If you want to hold on to the first girl that you meet
Or if you want to settle down and plant roses at my feet
Go ahead

Blake Hazard - Little Airplane

Love.

Tilly and the Wall - I Always Knew

A bit softer than "Night of the Living Dead".

I've lived my life inside daydream lies
Imaginary friends that always knew one day I'd leave for good
I'll give away this girl who tried to make you fall i love
I'll give her to you so keep her close to you
So you won't forget about oh how she loved you
So long ago, once upon a time

Rilo Kiley - Don't Deconstruct

First Rilo Kiley song I ever heard. In a fanmix about Martha Jones. I think it rather fits, and reminds me to take a second look and remember how cool her character actually is.

Don't deconstruct and then fill me in
I'm not that basic I swear
I've had enough of break downs and diagrams

Magnetic Fields - Falling in Love With the Wolfboy

Gram Rabbit - Dirty Horse

Saw the lyrics to this in ohvienna 's journal and just had to look them up. And found a band I liked!

Now the horse out back has got a dirty mind,
and the man on the moon is drinking up all the shine.
The witch on the broom is fixing soon to crash,
but I’ll be around to pick up all the trash.”

Mirah - Gone Are the Days

Another wakeup song.

And once we learn to hide, our size did keep us safe
The sidewalk cracks were wide, but to jump 'em made us brave
But then the darkness came-a creepin' over every place
Over time we took to sleeping, and let the weeds take over this place
Well, how about the backyard, sons and daughters
C'mon, we've got to get some work done
The bones, I'm told, they hold the place up, so why crack 'em away
The rocks we shake, and everything we take and still think will be OK
But gone are all the days, gone are all the days

Black Kids - Partie Traumatic

Play it loud. With the windows down.

This jungle is massive,
So please don't be so passive,
Be aggressive,
Impress us,
And they will get the message


Oh, and I have other stuff, from Styrofoam and Electric President and The Most Serene Republic and others. But that's another time.

And let me know if you downloaded, and what you liked, and any new favorites you have! I can always upload the rest of an album if you love something. :)

GRAM RABBIT. YES.

And I am grabbing that song by Joker's Daughter and running off to find more, as I'm digging her myspace.

Also, maybe yes also taking Lady Gaga.

Joker's Daughter is so fun, I found the album in a certain community dedicated to the exchange of indie music, if you know what I'm saying and I think that you do. Or I could upload it for you like I generally do.
