Fake Palindromes - Andrew Bird

Here is a song, have it and perhaps even enjoy

When You Walk in the Room - Fyfe Dangerfield

This is a song that is fun to listen to and good with musical slash artistic virtues and so on.
It is the first single from Fyfe Dangerfield's upcoming album, and it has nice lyrics and cool beats slash instruments slash general sounds.

Also I enjoy it and I hope you do.
When You Walk in the Room

Shark in the Water - VV Brown

Have an excellent song. You know what, you can go ahead and enjoy that too.

I like to listen to the lyrics of this song and imagine she's singing about how her debilitating fear of sharks and monsters under the bed is causing problems in her relationship.

Shark in the Water

Ambling Alp - Yeasayer

This song makes me want to jump around in circles, I have been singing parts of it over and over again since I first heard it. I don't even know, it's great and fun and catchy and just listen to it okay!

Ambling Alp

Hometown Glory - Adele

Adele is British, she has a pretty voice and she is great.
This song is about London, so just shut up and listen to it because I love it.

Hometown Glory

Hawaii - Meiko

This song is pretty and I enjoy it, and so should you.
Meiko only as one album, but she self released it in 2007, and then re-released it after she was signed in conjunction with her own label... which is pretty awesome in my world, so yay her.

GO!

Cosy in the Rocket, Tiger, My Friend, The Only Thing I Ever Wanted and Chapter - Psapp

Psapp is an experimental electronica band from England, it has a silent p and everything. They use toys as instruments in their songs, like toy guitars, flutes and a chicken called Brunhilda, which is pretty cool. Plus, they like to throw toy cats that they make into the audience at their concerts, and who doesn't like getting free handmade toy cats?

Here is some music what they made.
Cosy in the Rocket with a wanky slideshow
Tiger, My Friend with some awesome toy animal sounds
The Only Thing I Ever Wanted which is all around awesome
Chapter I just like it?

Night of the Dancing Flame, Ramalama (bang bang) and Ruby Blue - Róisín Murphy

Hmmmm... here are three songs that are nice and pretty great. They are by Róisín Murphy who is also pretty great, she used to be part of a band called Moloko which was pretty great too.

Enjoy them.

Night of the Dancing Flame
Ramalama (bang bang)
Ruby Blue

Breakin' Up - Rilo Kiley

Woah Osc and Nels, way to completely forget about the music blog
good going guys (lol, alliteration is fun)

Aaaaanyway. This song makes me happy, does that make me a bad person?
It's a song about feeling good after breaking up and it's so boppy and bright and fun that it makes me happy... yeah it's great, it makes me happy so fuck you.

I couldn't find a proper music video, or even just the song with a slideshow or whatever, so here is a fan made music video. The acting is a bit silly, and kind of misses the point of the song a little bit (at least how I interpreted the song meaning), but the dancing is good, it makes me laugh...

Enjoy!

Ellipse - Imogen Heap (Album)

Am I pulling a Nels and recommending an entire album? Yes I am

BECAUSE you guys, Imogen Heap is fabulous and this album is fabulous and I couldn't pick just one song

This is Imogen Heap's latest album, it was released last year and every single song has something great about it and every single song just makes me happy...

IDK it's pretty

anyway, have some songs on youtube and then go get the album okay
Canvas (has a pretty great video), Aha! (song meaning guys, there's a message), The Fire (pretty piano!), Wait It Out (just really really pretty), 2-1 (again, really really pretty)

bonus: one of my absolute favourite Imogen Heap songs, not from Ellipse, Glittering Clouds

The Summer - Josh Pyke

This song, this song is pretty great... I don't even know, just, everything about it is sort of perfect.

Just listen to the lyrics and the melody and the harmonies and aaaallll of the violins and guitars and things...

He's Australian too, which is kind of awesome, and one of his songs is in a Vodafone ad or something? It's pretty great too, but it's not this one

Anyway, have a song

Relient K - Must Have Done Something Right

WHAT?
THIS WAS ALWAYS HERE

IT IS DIFFICULT
WHEN YOUR LIFE IS REPLACED BY UNIVERSITY

IN A FREAK INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT

Limp - Fiona Apple

Here is a song, it is by Fiona Apple
She is pretty great

It comes with 20% more drum solo

Enjoy

BASICALLY EVERYTHING SHE HAS EVER SUNG EVER - Florence + The Machine

You guys, I don't even care about introducing you to new music or whatever, I just want to write about awesome stuff and I don't care whether you've heard it before

So anyway:
THIS WOMAN
SHE IS SO GREAT

SO I WILL GIVE YOU FIFTY MILLION BUT PROBABLY MORE LIKE THREE SONGS TODAY
OKAY? OKAY

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT SO SUCK IT

Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)
I wish I could live in this music video, everything is ten times more pretty inside this video... this song is basically the best okay

Howl
This song is about werewolves guys! How great is that?
It has become my favourite song from her album for some reason, probably because it's great I don't know
I just can't help singing along, it makes me happy

Cosmic Love
Oh my god this song
This song is so great

This is the song I made you guys listen to at the beach house
ISN'T IT GREAT YOU GUYS, LISTEN TO THIS SONG
LIIIIISSTTTEENNNNNN

Bad Romance - Lady Gaga

HOLY SHIT IT'S LADY GAGA, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?
THAT BITCH CRAZY
also, she's possibly a man

But you know what... I have just given in. I have GIVEN IN TO THE GAGA

Because by god this woman can make a catchy song.

Regardless, this video clips is worth watching just for the sheer insanity

Pavlov's Bell - Aimee Mann

More music? Don't mind if I do!

This is another song that was in Buffy (I get the majority of my music from tv, you know all my secrets! Shock horror, whatever shall I do!?!). It was in season 7 when Aimee Mann played at The Bronze. Spike had a little freak out and Aimee had the awesome line "I hate playing vamp towns" (yeah I thought it was pretty great, deal with it).

I'm here, bringing the late 90's slash early 2000's music in!

I enjoy this song just because it's great... there is some guitarin and some pretty vocals and it's basically great okay, deal!

Sugar Water - Cibo Matto

SURPRISE! MORE MUSIC!

Hey guys, I'm going away on Saturday so I won't have internet for a week, so you get some more awesome music from me right now! How lucky!

This is a song which was in Buffy, which automatically makes it awesome. Cibo Matto played at The Bronze in the first episode of season 2, and Buffy was all rebellious and messed up to the tune of Sugar Water. She was bitchy to Cordy, snarky to Angel and danced sexy with Xander... Willow was pissed.

Basically and awesome scene and an awesome, pretty and kind of slightly creepy song with a great music video... enjoy?

Except that Warner Brothers has disabled embedding of the video, which is lame, so go watch it on youtube

Whetstones - Deb Talan

Have a song guys, haaave one

Basically this is an awesome song that is kind of upbeat and pretty and has some pretty good lyrics except that it's kind of obscure or whatever so I couldn't find it on youtube.

Therefore, I hope this audio embedding thing works... otherwise just go and find it somewhere because it's great

OKAY BASICALLY THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A MUSIC PLAYER THING HERE BUT IT REFUSES TO WORK SO JUST GO HERE I GUESS

Don't Rain On My Parade (Glee Cast Version) - Lea Michelle

So I think it's established that I like, nay, LOVE Glee. Therefore it just kind of makes sense that I would enjoy a song from Glee.

Basically Lea Michelle is amazing in everything she does, and this scene and the song New Directions sings (You Can't Always Get What You Want, also great) next made me cry... because it was so beautiful and joyful and just great!

It's all "We are great even though you guys cheated, what are you gonna do about it?!"

Just listen to Lea Michelle be inspiring and beautiful and perfect okay!
