Tonight's entree -

Meat Loaf  (au jus)  *wink* 

I know I'm a bit crazy, but I think Michael Aday is just... incredibly hot! 

Evanescence - My Immortal

Nine Inch Nails - Every Day is Exactly the Same



( Lyrics, I'm Afraid... )

I love Jaret Reddick



Emo Ada is Emo.

Since I voted two weeks ago, now I have to blow off some tension.

Some more music:





ETA - I just found out that one of our company vice presidents voted Obama. :D

The Courteeners - Acrylic

Firstly - Happy Birthday Portiareigns!

For you, I found this absolutely stunning video which is awesome on several hundred levels.


David Bowie (with Nine Inch Nails) - I'm Afraid Of Americans

 

This is coolest video I've seen in a long time.

Single Frame - Exact Copy of This in the Basement



 

The Vandals - Don't Stop Me Now (Queen cover)

 

1.5 million views for a reason:

Weezer - Perfect Situation

 

This was just uploaded today, and it's just a great vid...

From the Rock Am Ring festival over this last weekend...

Babyshambles - Delivery



 

The following two songs go out to my LJ friends, fab4fic_loverand lebeat5

A Day in the Life - Carl Barât and Peter Doherty

"Pete and Carl of the libertines covering arguably the best beatle track there is for the 40th Sgt Peppers aniversary
- plus a few nice pics to look at!"




Eight Days a Week (Cover) - The Libertines


 

I like these girls. Someone whose musical opinion I generally respect told me that they were like a "female The Horrors" - the main difference to me being that I can listen to Ipso Facto without getting a migraine.

Their Myspace

Their first single:
Ipso Facto - Harmonise




Harmonise

Silver cups and saucers whistle
When they're filled with wine.
I don't like their lonely lovesongs,
Cry with every line.

Harmonise with forks and knives.
Do they ever keep in time with me?
No never.

Wait with baited breath upon
The guests who wont arrive.
Face so red, I eat thier bread
As they eat my time.

Harmonise in white and black.
Dignity be given back to me?
No never.

Predictably the clock becomes
The ever present theme.
Blinking with the rhythmic tick
I fall into a dream.

Everyone I love was there,
Empty rooms and lonely chairs love me.
Forever.

A classic...

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

 


The Verve are currently on tour and are playing the Rock Am Ring festival this weekend for anyone that's planning to attend 

Boomtown Rats - Rat Trap

 

Apparently no one has responded to my heartfelt request to remove all traces of Carl Barat from the internet so I could get some work done.

Fresh out as of this morning.

Some of you have seen this already, but for the rest of you....

The single will be released June 23, the album on June 30 - those are UK dates, don't know about the US.

I wasn't in love with this song the first time I heard it, but the video changes everything.

This is the original video for this song - loose, playful and DIY - right up my alley.

The remade/pro version with the good lighting and choreography and expensive costumes is owned by Sony.

You cannot embed it.
You cannot copy it and upload to YouTube without receiving a notice that Sony is going to follow your every mood and count your views and your traffic.

Sony can kiss my ass.

So - the original video...NOT owned by Sony...

Spin Doctors - Two Princes

> 

About a month ago, I was scrolling somewhere on the NME site (please don't ask) and the following assessment caught my eye:

Much better however are Leicester’s The Displacements, who resembles the Buzzcocks with an even softer heart, yet who rock like their lives might cease the moment they discover the fourth chord. Really, that’s all we ask.
- NME

My interest was piqued mildly, but I never followed through to find out what they were doing with the first three chords.
Last weekend they requested the Battered Suitcase myspace to "friend" (probably through networking with Fault magazine), so I thought I'd find out. 

It's not love at first sight, but they're certainly worth a listen.
