Other Lives - “Speed Tape”

Other Lives write gorgeous orchestral indie-folk, and I love how the piano’s melody carries this song along. They’re based out of Stillwater, OK and are about to release their debut self-tited album on April 7th via tbd Records.

You can find Other Lives on tour this spring with Elvis Perkins and they’ll share a few dates with The Decemberists too. Since I’ve only heard great things about their live show, I know I’m going to check them out!

I heart Fleet Foxes.

From Heathers…

1) it’s one thing to want someone out of your life, but it’s another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid drainer.

2) my parents wanted to move me into high school out of the sixth grade, but we decided to chuck the idea because i’d have trouble making friends, blah blah blah. now blah blah blah is all i ever do. i use my grand iq to decide what color lip gloss to wear in the morning and how to hit three keggers before curfew.

3) well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw. do i look like mother teresa?

4) i don’t patronize bunny rabbits.

5) our love is god. let’s go get a slushie.

below are the top 5 lines from the best show ever on television…

"it’s not the thing you fling, it’s the fling itself."

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:25:18 -0500

“it’s not the thing you fling, it’s the fling itself.”

"rain usually makes me feel mellow: curl up in a corner time, slow down, smell the furniture...."

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:22:36 -0500

“rain usually makes me feel mellow: curl up in a corner time, slow down, smell the furniture. today… it just makes me feel wet. what is it about owning things? why do we feel the need to own what we love, and why do we become such jerks when we do? we’ve all been there, you know: we want something; we own it; and by owning it we change it. when you finally win that girl of your dreams, the first thing you do is try to change her. that little thing she does with her hair, the way she wears her clothes, the way she chews her gum. until eventually, what you like, what you don’t like, and what you change all merges into one. like a watercolor in the rain.”

"all we are, basically, are monkeys with car keys."

“all we are, basically, are monkeys with car keys.”

"i’m very happy with myself. i have no need to go slumming in your persona."

“i’m very happy with myself. i have no need to go slumming in your persona.”

“there’s a dark side to each and every human soul. we wish we were obi-wan kenobi, and for the most part we are, but there’s a little darth vader in all of us. this is, this ain’t no either-or proposition. we’re talking about dialectics, the good and the bad merging into us. you can run but you can’t hide. my experience? face the darkness. stare it down. own it. as brother nietzsche said, being human is a complicated gig. so give that ol’ dark night of the soul a hug. howl the eternal yes!”

Ben Folds - “You Don’t Know Me” (Featuring Regina Spektor)

This song is the first single off Ben’s latest album, Way To Normal, which came out this past Tuesday. This song is just so damn catchy that it can be an instant mood lifter. Check out the video here.

Enjoy!
