Pictures of You...
04.06.05 (4:47 am)   [edit]
In what seems like an obvious transition from yesterday's (re)post, this morning I find myself thinking about how easily I can find myself completely consumed by certain songs. Despite [url=http://lindy.tblog.com]certain people's[/url] attempts to plant absolutely [url=http://www.musicmatic.de/M/Mi...]horrifying tunes in [/url]my head, for the last twenty-four hours or so, I have to confess that I have been completely obsessed by a [url=http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyr...]certain song[/url] by The Cure. It's old and dated, perhaps, and for the young ones out there, I'm sure it makes me look even more elderly than I already am, (is that even possible?) but today it's perfect and I plan to swim it until I emerge drenched and with pruny fingers.

I absolutely despise blog posts in which people post [url=http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyr...]song lyrics[/url], so I won't burden you with that, but please feel free to share the music in which you are currently swimming.

I like the idea of swimming in a song "until your fingers are pruny." Great image.

Right now I'm listening to Belle and Sebastian. They're a good choice for spring weather.

That is one of my favorite songs... certainly one of my fav Cure songs. That and Charlotte Sometimes. They both make me thingk of an old boyfriend.

i used to think that it would be great if popular culture would embrace the music i love. but then songs like this started showing up in camera commercials and i realized that i like keeping my music all to myself.

i still like this song, but for awhile i could not listen to it.

lately, i've been listening to the new low cd -- the great destroyer. have you given it a listen yet?

That is such a good song! It's not as dated as you may think though... ;-)

I've been drowning in Beck's new album Guero. Which, I might add, is pure gold! That is, if you like Beck. It's reminicent of Odelay if you are at all familiar with that. I am guessing you are . :-)

I'm a little sad the song is now heard on hp commercials touting their cameras, still love the cure though.

I've been, I confess, listening to Jack Johnson's new album. Yeah, it's a wuss thing to do, but it's good stuff to chill out to.

Right now? "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus is on. I love this song.

Hi,

Here are the songs I've been listening to lately (and, if I'm at home & playing songs via iTunes, you'll see what I'm currently playing *at that moment*... kinda like an audio version JenniCam, or in this case, DavidsMusicCam):

Cool post. I have been, I confess, swimming in Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" for a couple of days now. It's not my fault. It's Ms Bear's fault. She was watching a red squirrel out the window playing in a tree and started singing "Uptown Squirrel", which she -being American - can make rhyme, but I being a Kiwi, cannot. It went on too, involving such excellent lyrics as "Gotta get a lots of nuts and find me a girl" and "My bushy tail's got a big curl" etc. So, strictly speaking I guess I've been swimming not in Billy Joel's uptown girl but in Ms Bear's Uptown Squirrel. Same diff. Just as catchy and annoying. The Germans have a great word for that by the way, when you can't get a song out of your head: Ohrwurm, which means "ear worm". And that, I think, says it all.

blame it on the rain

Ah yes... Belle and Sebastian are a favorite... although I really don't care for too much past Tigermilk.

I think there is an entire generation of girls who associate The Cure with old boyfriends! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I know. It's tough when the people we admire most for being rogues go commercial on us! I nearly cried with Red House Painters showed up on the Gap commercials... just kill me now.

As for Low.... I don't really want to go there. I loved the old stuff too much. I may be closed minded, but the new CD sounds a bit too hard for me.

Thanks for the comment though.

I have not picked up the new beck, but I have to say I adored Sea Change. A lot of people criticized it because it wasn't standard Beck, but I adore many of the songs on that record.

(I have Odelay, btw).

Ya. It's a tough pill to swallow. But maybe some new people will come to love them as a result. Plus... someone's got to keep Robert Smith in lipstick as he grows old, right?

I have all your e-mails about this, and I will give it some time soon. What am I going to do with you??? Always finding new music sites and keeping me occupied??

I don't know what I would do without you. :)

Ok... that is some silly stuff. The imagery is great... even if it does involve mid 80's Billy Joel.! :)

Yes, Sea Change was amazing - it was the more emotional side of Beck...seeing as he had just broken up with his girlfriend whom he was engaged to. I loved that album as well, quite inspiring.
