I have never been crazy about Death Cab for Cutie. The first time I heard 'I Will Possess Your Heart' I automatically fell in love with it. Then I saw the music video and fell in love with it even more. I relate so much to the girl int he video.
The city on film is not very big and sparkly. He leans toward the mellow and sort of emo side of things. But I love the concept of this album. I'm not sure if it's a concept album per se, but it's still a great record. I love his lyrics and the cd is one of those cds you can keep playing in the background over whatever you're doing or whatever is going on. It's honest. Sounds like a soundtrack to a movie or just real life. 'I'd Rather Be Wine Drunk' is my fav song. Hands down.
Didn't get into these guys until recently. I like jammin to them. It gets me away from the singer/songwriter music i've been stuck on for the past few months. Menos El Oso I guess means 'Except the Bear' according to the Spanish to English translator online. But when you use common sense, i'm pretty sure it means Minus the Bear. Smart.
I was on the train and listening to My Morning Jacket's Chocolate and Ice EP and I swore I was in a Cameron Crowe movie. Something like Elizabethtown where i'm the cooky mysterious girl on her way to who knows where and while on her journey she bumps into some lost soul who just happens to look a lot like Orlando Bloom and together they find that they are lost in their so called lives. But everyone knows that two lonely people make one couple found. Yup, that's what this cd made me feel. Intense eh?
I absolutely love this chick. I can't help but gravitate toward the singer/songwriters. 'Love Song' is only the beginning. The rest of her album is even more amazing than her single. The less known songs are always the best ones anyways. That goes for any album... well... I take that back... I guess it depends on what you would consider being a good song. I love a good melody, lyrics, and potential for a good shower belt. This cd has it ALL. mhmm.
Justin Nozuka... he is a gutsy hapa boy. He's a fusion of Ray Lamontagne and Lauryn Hill. He's got soul and a heart of an old folk singer. His lyrics are somewhat like an angst-y horny teenager but some songs are way beyond his maturity level. Turns out this guy is related to Kevin Bacon. His mom is Keira Sedgwick's sister. He's the 5th of 6 children and he and I both have dead beat Japanese fathers. I think we'd have pretty amazing conversations. Plus, he's a libra. Not like that means anything...
I still have a few cd's on my wish list. I want Coldplay's new album and I'm also interested in Matt Nathanson... Brett Dennen too. I also heard that Rachael Yamagata just came out with an EP. But I am still waiting for her actual album to come out. She's promised one so long ago. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE! I NEED MORE RACH!
I'm tuned out... get it? Payce.
