Songs for the Moment - The Start of Mixed Tape..
A quick 6 Song hit that express the way i feel..
Iron And Wine/Postal Service - Such Great Heights
I am thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
and I have to speculate that God himself
did make us into corresponding shapes
like puzzle pieces from the clay
and true, it may seem like a stretch,
but its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
head
when you're away when I am missing you to death
when you are out there on the road
for several weeks of shows
and when you scan the radio,
I hope this song will guide you home
they will see us waving from such great heights,
'come down now,'
they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,'
but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave this all on your machine
but the persistent beat it sounded
thin upon listening
and that frankly will not fly.
you will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows with
the windows down
when this is guiding you home
they will see us waving from such great
heights, 'come down now,'
they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,'
but we'll stay..."
R. St. Clare - Into your arms (Lemonheads)
Into your arms, into your arms I can go
I know a place that’s safe and warm, from the crowds
Into your arms, into your arms I can go
The Raveonettes - That Great Love Sound
Changing Your Strut When You Know I'm Behind You
Changing Your Ways Cause You Don't Know What To Do
I Only Wanna Tell You
How I Feel Inside
If Only You Could Listen
Try To Change Your Mind
So I Walk Right Up To You
And You Walk All Over Me
And I Ask You What You Want
And You Tell Me What You Need
Can't You Feel It All Come Down
Can't You Hear It All Around
At The Place Where Lost Is Found
That Great Love Sound
Talking To You Makes Me Wanna Shake And Shout
Touching You Makes Me Wanna Come Right Out
You Could Never Want Me
The Same Way I Want You
I'm Love Tornado Struck
I Don't Know What To Do
Gordon Lightfoot - If I Could
If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world
If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea
I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody
And let you dream away till the morning light returned again
To take you away from me
If I could speak with the tongues of the masters of old
If I could tame all the fleeting perceptions I hold
Would I stand in the marketplace before
To be shouted down without any warning at all, to be stood by the wall
And shot by the man in blue
If I could run with the grace of a sun-colored stallion
If I could fly like the great silver jets in the morning
If I caused the wind to change with one wave of my hand
And if I could play the final symphony and set it free
Would it mean anything to you
If I could stand like a rusty old man in his armor
If I could ride the steed that he rode in his time
I would turn his head away to the river
And let him wander through the meadow grass, wild and free
For everyone to see
If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world
If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea
I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody
And let you dream away till the morning light returned again
To take you away from me
The Doors - Light My Fire
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Aouh, come on!
Come on, babe!
Yeah! come on!
Come on!
Woaouh! yeah!
It was the greatest night of my life.
Although I still had not found a wife
I had my friends
Right there beside me.
We were close together.
We tripped the wall, we scaled the graveyard
Ancient shapes were all around us.
The wet dew felt fresh beside the fog.
Two made love in an ancient spot
One chased a rabbit into the dark
A girl got drunk and balled the dead
And I gave empty sermons to my head.
Cemetary, cool and quiet
Hate to leave your sacred lay
Dread the milky coming of the day.
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aaah!
Time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire!
All right, all right!
All right!"
Neil Diamond - I'm a believer!
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I know a place where I can go, when I’m alone
Into your arms, into your arms I can go
I know a place that’s safe and warm, from the crowds
Into your arms, into your arms I can go
And if I should fall
I know I won’t be alone
Be alone anymore
Into your arms, into your arms I can go
I know a place that’s safe and warm, from the crowds
Into your arms, into your arms I can go

Dancing with Bruce
As previously mentioned, I heard Tegan and Sarah covering this song tonight on CBCRADIO3 tonight. I have been working on writing a nasty little email for SG for good morning thoughts, and I was hoping that the lyrics contains some goodness. Unfortunately, upon actually reading them, Dancing in the dark seem to be about trying to picking up a girl, who just won't pay any attention to you.

TEGAN AND SARA: IN SESSION WITH CBCRADIO 3
This performance was on tonight's rebroadcast of CBCRADIO3 (on CBCRADIO 2). The session is worth listening to for the following reasons.
A) Tegan and Sarah rule the school
B) The live version are actually better then the recorded versions.
C)They do a cover of Bruce Springsteen 'Dancing in The Dark'. Yes, 'Dancing in the Dark'. Clap your hands and say Yeah. Dancing in the dark is my all time favorite Springsteen track, and one of my childhood favorites.
D)Tegan has a great rant about the music industry, which ends when Sarah asks if Tegan's batteries ever run out.
E)Did I mention "Dancing in the Dark"?.
Update: It looks like the session has been edited, and the 'Dancing in the Dark' has been removed. Also, Tegan's great rant about the sexist music industry is gone.
Unfortunately, it's in realmedia. So realmedia (Or Real Alternative) is required.

TheStar.com - The Anti-Hit List for June 25:
"MALCOLM MIDDLETON, 'A HAPPY MEDIUM'
Sprung from the sombre confines of Arab Strap, this multi-instrumentalist sounds like he's channeled years of pent-up energy into this breakneck acoustic number. The results are reminiscent of the Nails' FM cult hit '88 Lines for 44 Women' crossed with the Primitive Radio Gods' 'Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand.' And if your musical tastes encompass both of those disparate referents, this one's for you. (From Into the Woods, http://www.malcolmmiddleton.co.uk/audiovideo.htm)"
I'm a big fan of the Anti-Hit list. I've been reading it for years. I followed it from the Sun to Eye and now to the Star. I'm delighted to hear that John Sakamoto/The Star has decided to create a podcast. However, the show is limited to 10 mins, and features on full song, and quite clips from the rest that make the list up. Back on June 25, he posted the above review for a pretty good track by Malcom Middleton. While it's very rooted in pop, I enjoy this track a lot better then his Arab Strap work.

Leslie Fiest Interview on Tofu Hut.
Indie darling no-longer, Feist still has it going on.. Check the interview, live tracks and a few of her current picks for rock'n'roll.
I'm still not sure what to think of her live show, although, I'd defiantly recommend it. It's just a little odd to see her up there with her multitrack sampler, singing her own backing vocals.
I guess she has left the Arts & Craft stable, and signed with Interscope. Maybe It's only for the States. Although, this isn't really suprising, as she was already singed to Universal Records France.

RENT - The Movie
Rent is one of the few musicals that I ever had the patience for. It's also one of the few musicals I've taken the time to see. I was attracted to it's story of grit and grime, and the it's billing as "Rock Opera".
I did not realize until surfing the apple trailer site, that there was a motion picture adaptation. After reviewing the site and trailer, I feel that the movie will be missing an important piece - The 'ROCK'. In making this film, hiring some of the original cast was a nice touch. However, the trailer gave me a vibe of too much of 'American Idol' and not enough of the 'Never mind the Bullocks". It also had that feel of the 'sophisticated urban' in the vein of 'How Stella got her groove back'. Perhaps it was the casting of Taye Diggs. Before the movie is released, I hope they take time to review the movie and story. Perhaps then, they will take to the editing room, and add some of grit.

A taste of Pitchfork Radio
It appears the station is still in beta. The selection is a little less pretentious then I expected. The sound quality isn't nearly as good as the WOXY AAC stream, but it still presents an intresting listen. I'll still support WOXY and KEXP.

July 1st Fireworks Abbotsford
July 1st Firework Abbotsford 029

Prep the Champagne
SG has a conditional offer on her house. The deal goes down 8 July. Keep you fingers crossed. It looks like she's finally BC Bound. I'm ecstatic. However, I guess the future is now. I will finally have to grow up and shut up. I suppose it's time to drop the college kid antics and prep myself for the dirty thirties.. Diapers, minivans, wedding rings and the most important thing: -HAPPINESS.
