The songs I can't stop listening to 11/30/12

1. Marnie Stern - "Transparency Is The New Mystery"
2. iammiwhoami - "; john"
3. Active Child ft. How To Dress Well - "Playing House (Houses remix)"
4. Phosphorescent - "Reasons To Quit" (Willie Nelson cover)
5. Tori Amos - "iieee"
6. Rage Against The Machine - "Calm Like A Bomb"
7. Barenaked Ladies - "In The Drink"

Marnie Stern rocks, hard.

In order to see it
You've got to believe it
I do.
You said to try patience
I know that I'm ready
I'm waiting for you
You're with them
Can't you tell?
You're like me
I'm too late
You've got her.

If you listen to nothing else in this mix, listen to iamamiwhoami. Epic and beautiful, both sonically and visually.

May the god of me protect my soul
As I stay a little while longer
In this dusty rabbit hole
To sing my song chained onto your bed.

Don't want to be in love just with any body
I'm tired of being just  Mr. Anybody
So baby come with me, let's just make a body, between us
I need you to see me

Reasons to quit I can't afford the habit all the time
I need to be sober I need to write some new songs that will rhyme
Reasons to quit they have no rhyme or reason when you're high
And the reasons to quit don't outnumber all the reasons why

just say yes
you little arsonist
you're so sure you can save
every hair on my chest
just say yes

We need more like Rage Against the Machine right now. There's a reason so many of the Powers That Be consider them to be so subversive:

This ain't subliminal
Feel the critical mass approach horizon
The pulse of the condemned
Sounds off America's demise
The anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Yes I spit fire
Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires

I'm in the drink for love
And I want to drink your love
Swimmin' a swim in the suds
I want to drink your
Blood!
