Alan Vega - Every 1 Is a Winner (From Saturn Strip)

'Cause it rocks and it makes me want to dance naked.

Cause it makes me want to dance and it doesn't sound at all like videogame music though it's made with Gameboy sounds

Bata Motel
Crass

It's catchy, good lyrics, female vocals, and it's Crass of course.

EDIT: I keep writing Hotel instead of Motel.

coaltar of the deepers - evil line

Everyone's favorite japanese without-a-hint-of-irony ambient/electronic/pop/death metal/super-shoegaze constantly surprises me with each new album. Their newest one is no different, featuring some of the heaviest riffs ever and some of the sweetest vocals I've ever heard. Super heavy pop bliss. Anyway, this song's great.

Requiem
M. Ward

I love happy songs about death. It's sort of a triumph over the sadness of a death in celebrating what was good about the man's life- he lived it to the fullest. I can't explain it properly.. this song says it all though.

"He summoned all of his joy when he laughed,
It suffered all of his joy when he cried,
And sometimes when he got into talking..
Man, he could rattle on and on. He was a good man, and now he's gone."

Old Time Relijun - "Carcerato"

brings back good memories from a few years ago.

Death in June - Fall Apart

A song by one of the legends of that strangly British phenomena that is esoteric apocolyptic folk music.
I'd also recommend a book called England's Hidden Reverse by David Keenan if anyone's into this sort of stuff.

radiohead - you and whose army

the overwhelming feeling of I dont care combined with unbreakable which starts at wround 2:00 (piano)

That's in the list of my favourite songs EVER!!

"Nice Work If You Can Get It" by Cole Porter as performed by The Sun City Girls!

Mind, the visuals are 3/4s of my reason, but damn!

John Frusciante - Untitled #3

Depressed goodness.

boris-flood III
i listened to this song on my way home. one of my top ten songs of all time and definatly one of the biggest influences on my current musical style.
really one of the mosty beautifly poetic perfect peices of music i have ever heard. the part when they start sining like 10 minutes in almost brought me to tears today (but unfortunatly i have not cried in 6+ years)

Well, it's 01.30, so it's technically a new day.

Lay and Love - Bonnie Prince Billy

Nothing much to say about this song, apart from the fact that you should listen to it at least 12 times in a row and then go and lie in the grass with a lover.

modest mouse - stars are projectors

what happened to them? this seriously is one of their best songs. and it really fits for the type of day i had today

The Byrds - Have You Seen Her Face
I started listening to The Byrds again recently, it was a choice between this and My Back Pages. I love the harmonies, the guitar, the solo, everything about it.

My song of the day is
"With My Hands Out" by Mount Eerie

it's available for download on Phil's website, so I'd definitely download it if I were you

Smog - I Break Horses

Bloody brilliant song with fantastic lyrics, makes me cry (absolute wimp).

I can't be arsed to upload the song, but heres the video which is equally great:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g_I_yf2mS0

James brown - hot pants

Smog/Bill Callahan - River Guard

specifically this version, such an amazing song, incredible lyrics.

It was one of my least favourite songs on the album until I found this video and the lyrics just stood out so much more to my ears. I get goosebumps and emotional listening

Burn One Down - Ben Harper
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryLqfNwSSFE

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around.....

Cause I'm gonna burn one dowwwowwwwnnn.

the yardbirds - for your love

http://www.mediafire.com/?g3icdl0z0dh

i have been listening to them all this week and it's one of the best goddamn songs to have ever been written and recorded in this miserable planet.

(i'm writing about them and if anyone's interested, i'll post a link when i post it online).

I agree, For Your Love rules.....so do The Yardbirds.

i used to think that page-era was kinda meh but fuck, listen to them live!!!! jimmy fucking shows not only his love for nick drake/richard thompson/davy graham folk guitar but also of lou reed and john cale scrape avant guarde noise.

most intense rock band of the sixties before the stooges, also bump because the song is up.

haha yeah for your love.

here's robe's cover:

The Go-Betweens - Dive for Your Memory

Patti Smith - Birdland

Today is "Bored Teenagers" - The Adverts

Memphis - PJ Harvey

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX5grhaMt1I
Hahaha at this video (you can also hear someone talking or something around 1:03 that's not in the song?)

EDIT: There's actually a few of them, what the fuck.

I've discovered an excellent band today that are playing in Chicago with Eat Skull, Little Claw etc tomorrow. Their name is Fey Gods, and I don't think they put any records out yet. Anyway, they have a cool tune (more than one) on their myspace called ''Face Like a Rat''.

"The Big Picture" by Bright Eyes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp_fJ31tpkI

Excellent idea for an intro- two folks in a car driving around, chatting, as the song blends in, then "shhh, wait a minute, I like this song.." and then cue unbridled melancholy.

Jacques Brel - Amsterdam (english subtitles).

This video of a performance of this song is particularly amazing, in that you can really see how much the man gave to his music. The lyrics are quite remarkable as well, you can actually smell the fish-heads.

sex pistols - god save the queen (demo)
