iTunes Shuffle 10/18/13
1. Charlotte Gainsbourg ft. Beck - "IRM"
2. Curves - "Let it out"
3. Widespread Panic - "Surprise Valley"
4. Former Ghosts - "Dreams"
5. Silversun Pickups - "Three Seed"
6. BLK JKS - "Lakeside"
7. Vanessa Paradis - "Joe le taxi"
8. Friendly Fires - "Paris" (Aeroplane Remix)
9. James Brown - "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine"
10. Bach: Suite for solo cello No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1008: Gigue (Mstislav Rostropovich, cello)
With a couple exceptions, a solid mix of strong, pretty indie rock.
Leave my head demagnetized
Tell me where the trauma lies
In the scan of pathogen
Or the shadow of my sin
We can set the night on fire
Tonight we will...
Let it out...
Fires dance the shadows
Winds whisper the trees
Mother talkin' the water's
Spirit moves, it moves through all things.
when the daylight seeps in through the blinds
I find you are never there
pack up all the night's dreams
only to drag them out again
in my favorite one there is a house we joked about
wooden floors and chandeliers
you once said you remembered
why is it so hard to stay away
so don't
just don't
[...]
do all these dreams only mean a thing to me?
there's the line that is leading clearly feeding all
the things I don't believe in but I'll step in once again
cut in line to get closer to the source of all the
things I'll never belong to
step it up and sign right in again
Happiness is near, and happiness is here
A French pop song about a cab driver. Because why not?
One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise, I'm on it
I'll find you that French boy
You'll find me that French girl
I promise, I'm on it
Get on up and then shake your money maker...
And we finish like the cultured people we are, with exquisite Bach cello music. Sexy.

iTunes Shuffle 10/11/13
1. Björk - "Hollow"
2. Cass McCombs - "The Lonely Doll"
3. Kate Bush - "A Coral Room"
4. Echo & The Bunnymen - "Lips Like Sugar"
5. Cocteau Twins - "Beatrix"
6. Lucy Wainwright Roche - "Poison"
7. Marissa Nadler - "Thinking Of You"
8. Titus Andronicus - "Anxiety Block" (Television Personalities cover)
9. Emily Elbert - "Didn't It Rain" (trad. gospel song, made popular by Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Mahalia Jackson)
10. Harmonia & Eno '76 - "Sometimes In Autumn" (Shackleton Remix)
As usual, I found treasures in my iTunes I didn't even know existed. For straight up beauty, the Lucy Wainwright Roche, the Kate Bush and the Marissa Nadler are divine. I used to hate that Björk song, but it grew on me this week. The Cass McCombs ballad is simple and lovely. Emily Elbert's take on "Didn't It Rain" is a nice surprise. And all the rest is cool too.
Hollow, my ancestors have access
Hollow, I'm falling down the abyss
Hollow, looking for some answers
Generations of mothers sailing in
...
I yearn to belong, let me belong, let me belong.
Though I was too drunk to make sense
I felt her Essence
The lonely doll
and turned to leave this pretense
for night, black and immense
The lonely doll
There's a city, draped in net
Fisherman net
And in the half light, in the half light
It looks like every tower
Is covered in webs
Moving and glistening and rocking
Its babies in rhythm
As the spider of time is climbing
Over the ruins
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses...
When he cared, when he did love
When he knew, when he'd fall
I hear she'd fall
I drank the poison
Straight from the warmth of the palm of your hand
And like ice in the morning
There's nothing much left here to hold or to have
In the end
Thinking of you
All through the morning
I'm thinking of you
All through the evening
I'm thinking of you
And the way that your holy water grew
A song about washing away your sorrows with pills.
Didn't it rain, children
Didn't it, didn't it rain?
And a nice peaceful instrumental from Brian Eno and friends, circa 1976.

iTunes Shuffle 10/4/13
1. Cate Le Bon - "The Eiggy Sea"
2. Jesse Malin & The St. Marks Social - "St. Marks Sunset"
3. The Drums - "Instruct Me"
4. Michael Kiwanuka - "May This Be Love (Waterfall)" (Jimi Hendrix Cover)
5. WU LYF - "We Bros"
6. Final Fantasy / Owen Pallett - "Your Light Is Spent"
7. Joseph Arthur - "Travel As Equals"
8. TOY - "Motoring"
9. Low - "Rope"
10. Ryan Adams - "Halloweenhead"
As usual, when I hit "shuffle," I find treasures in my music library I didn't even know were there. This week, I find the Michael Kiwanuka, the Final Fantasy (Owen Pallett), TOY and Low songs to be particularly special. And you can't go wrong with Ryan Adams, ever.
There is little you can say
To make the yearning fall away
Now the seeds have grown
...
In the morning I am gone...
On the off chance that we cross paths
And somehow it feels ok
You were all I ever wanted but the lights changed
And I walked away
All I can see is your beautiful lies
Take a deep breath with me
Waterfall
Nothing can harm me at all
My worries seem so very small
With my waterfall
This ship's set sail
sail on you and me
This ship's set sail
I just wanted to be free
So maybe we will fail
fail not to see
maybe we will fail
but at least we will be free...
Do not offer me a contract
Got no use for a house by the sea
All I ask is for a warm body
To keep this winter from killing me...
In the dark of graveyard chatter
In the light of freedom's call
In the heat of any matter
We travel as equals or not at all
I am breaking out to somewhere I can step outside myself...
You're gonna need more
Don't ask me to kick any chairs out from under you
I got a bad idea again
I got a Halloweenhead...
