Hey all, sorry for the delay in songs, but I've been away on the honeymoon with the wife. Tanning our bodies in the beautiful Thailand sun.
I thought for my return I'd use the song that we had as our wedding song, awwwwwww.
The song was of course Cat Power's cover version of Sea Of Love, it's a beautiful track and her voice is amazing. Makes the song sound so beautiful, and if you ask Katie and I it made for a great first dance.
Hope you like this one as much as Katie and I do, we're stuck with it forever now!
This is such a beautiful song, although the title may be slightly misleading (it's missing the More Than I Do at the end). I've always dug this tune, but now it brings back one awesome memory.
Sitting on a balcony in Thailand with my beautiful lady and two of our most awesome friends, getting very loose and watching a huge tropical electric storm rolling towards us. This song was playing and we were all feeling so great. It was a great night in a foreign land, and if I remember correctly it lead to our two friends getting tattoos the next day that read 'The Ever Living Ghost Of What Once Was'.
Great song, cool tattoos, awesome electrical storm, amazing Thailand times. Love Band Of Horses.
Wow, this movie and soundtrack still gives me shivers every time I watch or listen to it.
Into The Wild is one of the most inspiring, beautiful, happy and sad movies I've ever seen. Eddie Vedder does the entire sound track and absolutely nails it.
The movie is based on a true story about a boy who throws off the constraints of society and escapes to the wild of Alaska to be at one with nature and his thoughts. The movie is recreated from the journal logs that were found years later. The relationships he makes along the way are heart breaking, emotional, and pure. Damn, I wanna watch it again right now.
Eddie Vedder is coming out to play in Australia shortly, and I for one am so damn excited.
He's not super well known out here in Australia, but plenty of people will know him as the other song who joins Jack White to make up the creative minds of The Raconteurs (The Saboteurs).
He's a fellow singer song writer from Detroit just like Jack White, and has four solo albums to his name.
I discovered Brendan on his second album, Lapalco, which this song is taken from.
I had no idea there was an alternative version until I started writing this post. The album I have features the alternative, and I have to say it's certainly my favourite. It's a beautiful tune, so give it a listen and let me know what you think.
For clarity I've included the original below also.
Man, Kanye West and this song really used to shit me.
I really disliked him after that whole MTV thing. Just didn't like how he thought that he was the most important person in the world. WFT!
But yeah, I've come around and quite like his new album. Plus there's some pretty sweet ballet dancers in the clip, which just makes me think of Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman. Hmmmmm.....
There's the TV edit of the clip that condenses the nine minute song into four minutes, but there's also a 35 minute short movie by the same name that features snippets of songs from his latest album. Worth a look if you got a spare half an hour.
Today's tune is brought to you by Sticks one handsomely stylish man who calls Adelaide home. When he's not running one of Radelaide's hottest late night venues or partying with beautiful people, he's listening to awesome music bands, Cloud Nothings are one of those bands...
Converse, , flannel, ripped jeans and drinking to excess! This is what the 90's evoked and that's ecaxtly what Cloud Nothings have going for them. New era, lo-fi grunge for you to reminisce over times passed.
Their latest album Attack On Memory is well worth a start to finish listen. Stand out tracks are Stay Useless, No Future-No Past, Wasted Days and of course Our Plans which we've gone with today. You might start questioning whether Kurt Cobain really is dead.....
Well... Nada Surf, Blonde On Blonde, it's just one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
The New York three piece have been around since 92 and pumped out six albums in that time. This stunning tune is from their 2002 release, Let Go.
It's just such a soothing song that feels like a trip through the clouds in the arms of a loved one. Every time this song comes on I just drift away and forget about everything that troubles me.
It's like a soul cleansing in the form of pop rock genius, so hit the play button, find a comfortable seat, close those eyes and let your musical spa treatment begin.
I'm really loving The Middle East at the moment. I had no idea they were from Townsville, Qld, which just impressed me even more.
Blood is such a beautiful and sad song about love, family, death and divorce. It helps to remind me about the more important things in life which can so easily be forgotten in today's fast paced society of materialistic lust and self worth. When all your posessions are gone and you're stripped naked, what do you have left?
Think about your family, your brothers, sisters, mother, father, grandparents, and loved friends. When was the last time you told them all that you loved them? This song reminds me to do it as often as possible. Hope it does the same for you.
The first Jeff Buckley song that really grabbed my attention as a kid. I was a bit young to listen to any Jeff before this, but now I was 17, had found myself a new lady friend and was falling deeply in love for the first time in my life.
Que Jeff Buckley, a future wife, leaving behind my young and foolish teenage years, and getting in touch with my emotional side thanks to Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk. His voice is just so beautiful and captures my attention every time I hear it; I think this combined with the fact that (when I was 18) chicks thought a guy who liked Jeff Buckley must be all-right. haha. Must have worked, she's still with me.
I just realised I'd never actually seen this filmclip, which shocked me after so many years of watching music videos. I guess Rage guest programmers always go for Last Goodbye or Hallelujah, still quality songs, but I love this one as it always takes me back to those first three months with Katie. The beginning of a perfect life/wife.
