That's what I said, like, word for word!
Anyhow, if you stay, I'll... I'll comment less.



so happy u're here.

.........

oh-my-god, someone hacked into brainpicker's channel! or did I wake up in an alternate dimension again, where you are back and my morning toast tastes a little funny.

Can't figure why this quite simple track gets to me the way it does. (But it does! :)

Really? Now, I like me some Temper Trap, but would she leave to the sound of a trailer love song? Even if Zooey made me feel all mushy.

are you leaving?

Yah, I know, I did a search with utter skepticism, expecting a dozen tracks and possibly a few double-ups, only to find the embarrassment of nothingness. So you can think of today's post as a thing of duty, a moral obligation of sorts.

... apparently this is the first of Sia that the feel good has seen.. go figure. Uhh, "kudos to you".

A battery charger.

I love this song, but somehow I had forgotten about it. Thanks!

I feel new passageways in my head have opened, new connections are formed, I am at a higher state of consciousness and it's a toss-up between this upload and my morning coffee as to who is responsible.

teddyz responded to - :

you're a freak :)

You guys call that a sweet dog?!

SO hyper you have no idea. the things baby food does.

So you never said, tooth came out?
Painkillers?
Feel good drugs ... take time to wear out.
You're Hyper. :)

it's official. it just became my new on repeat song.
you're no brainpicker, brainwasher. :)

i like it i like it i like it i like it
very very very very very


"i am oh so fineeee and ready to blow..."

:D

Oh yeah! Diggidy dog

I dig it... but that dog, it seriously weirds me out.

Seriously, the "daisies" mood is soooo addictive. Checked their album. Really nice music.

listen to the lyrics...

from the wonderful Olympus PEN Story stop-motion animation http://vimeo.com/5520752

Love the music and feeling of this one.

vchera gi slushah dude, i si biah nabeliazala pesnichka. :)

Reminds me of PSAPP. I like it.

Eh, there's but 'Relief' with the picture faces and all-in-the-first-ten-seconds close up! That about covers the director bit so he doesn't feel left out.

From new album - heard only this (here, thanks) and No More Pirates (some blog). No more droning sadness, which occasionally got annoying for me - cheerfully awesome enough and a brass section too!

care to substantiate with a link of awesomeness?

I need to demonstrate I'm in the know here, as in ... I know of the guy.
And think he and his video director are pretty awesome.

well guess where I heard it haha...

I just heard that track at the end of a Weeds episode 10 minutes after faving it here... was eerie.

So today I wrote a song for you
Cause a day can get so long
And I know its hard to make it through
When you say theres something wrong

So Im trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tight
And I dont know even where to start

Maybe thats a start

Cause you know its a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you are hiding from your pain
In the way, in the way you say your name

And I see you
Hiding your face in your hands
Flying so you wont land
You think no one understands
No one understands

So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
And your throat is aching but you swear
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
Anyway youre not here enough to care

And youre so tired you dont sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet but you think you might
Disappear before the end

And its strange that you cannot find
Any strength to even try
To find a voice to speak your mind
When you do, all you wanna do is cry

Well maybe you should cry

And I see you hiding your face in your hands
Talking bout far-away lands
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands

And all of this life
Moves around you
For all that you claim
Youre standing still
You are moving too
You are moving too
You are moving too
I will move you

You go ahead and I'll favourite it. Strike a blow against oppression!

OK, now can I get the same exact song, but sung by Jamie Foxx?

Indie music still exists!

mnogo gotina snimka

Hardly everything we listened to in high-school was rubbish!

You took away my Monday!

yet another hallelujah? only a song with religious background can achieve such popularity!

here's to the grander act of not caring who approves of what

You should know that I don't care one bit that you don't care one bit that I approve of this choice.

love this jam

Aren't you the one complaining that there simply isn't enough good music coming out lately and quality-to-crap ratio is dispiriting?
How exactly do you fault a show that in a lineup of more than a dozen identifiable songs in an episode, uses one that is ... "too old."
Darn it, behind the times again... now music has an expiration date.
P.S. They dared to use 'early' The Bird & The Bee tracks too! Douches..

what TV show put breakable on its soudtrack a couple of WEEKS ago? they're the entertainment equivalent of someone raving about "a hot new thing called twitter" in 2009 – "breakable" was on a grey's anatomy season finale 2 years ago.

Heard breakable on a new tv show couple of weeks ago and considered it... but then, you know, fell for a HIP HOP song.

All the bloggers I know who are In the know seem to be in a state akin to ecstasy. What am I to do but nod along.. to the song, to the song!

teddyz responded to The Tontons - Syrup:

love it

Yah, all their stuff is pretty neat. They have an entire album covering Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," called – cleverly enough – "Dub Side of the Moon." Check it: http://is.gd/AFAV

Nice cover!

Hey, is that Juno song.

Sad thing is, even after Adam went to all this effort to uh... redefine the vocal requirements of making it as a indie-rock star and pen those easy-for-just-about-anybody-to-sing-along-to-even-if-quite-uncomfortable-lyrics-wise songs, I've still ways to go....

I guess I felt good first.

you don't have to believe me, but i swear in my mother..this one too.

abe nesto se zabeliazva edna tendencia tuk da postvash tova koeto az si mislia.... 'sunrise' samo chakashe udoben moment v sledvastite niakolko dni... this one is cool too... ama stiga s toia mind reading :)

hey everyone's got their way of saying things :)

wow....... must be a very special day :)

You mean the Beatles original? ;)

ohhhh! shut up! i was gonna post the beatles version soon!! booo ;)

be malko stranna pesen...

Snark for you, harmless banter for me.
Stalking for you, rather simple & self-amusing observation for me.
[... my own opinion as to whether I should love love love the song as well or -- it.]
Am lost without your guidance? Self-depreciating humour?

Wow, someone has a serious TFGI stalking problem, ha.

And if anything, uncalled for snark does not constitute an opinion.

So what is it? You don't love love love them anymore or you remembered love's not really your cup of tea?
Only asking as how else am I to form my own opinion...

Basia Bulat is shedding bitter tears.

Great fun and so far off the mark where my Monday is concerned!

hahaha

Thought I had all Nelly Furtado recordings, including the ones her mom made on the nanny teddy spy bear cam at home!!
I stand corrected.

Didn't know Thievery Corporation had a mixing finger in this track! Thought it's Emiliana's all along. They should've done more in the same vein on that last album...

az conductvam social psychology test haha... mai feelgooders vote on image more than song sometimes, a? vizthink galore.

mda, iavno moiata ne beshe good enough ;)

I road my bicycle past your window last night
I rollerskated toward your door at daylight.
It almost seems
Like you're avoiding me.
I'm okay alone
But you've got something i need:
Well, i got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key.
I think that we should get together
And try them out, you see?
I been looking around awhile;
You got something for me
Oh, i got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key.
I ride my bike,
I rollerskate,
Don't drive no car.
Don't go too fast
But i go pretty far.
For somebody who don't drive
I've been all around the world:
Some people say i done alright for a girl.
Oh yeah...
I ask your mother
If you were at home
She said "yes" but you weren't
Alone
Oh, sometimes i think
That you're avoiding me -
I'm okay alone
But you got something i need
Well, i got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key.
I think that we should get together
And try them out you see?
Oh, i got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key.

perfektnata snimka :)

this song is kind of addictive...
