Saturday, December 13, 2008 "The Cool Kids vs Le Loup - We Are Mikey! We Are Rock!" The Hood Internet not as cool as girl talk but still pretty sick. plus "mikey rocks" by the cool kids is such an awesome song slash i love the cool kids and they are so hilarious in concert ------------------------------------- Sunday, December 14, 2008 "Untitled" Neutral Milk Hotel ksndflknWELKMaklwmcfqzanckwnekjcnksnacjknrekan. ansdehjkawjr. ksndfjknw ajkwnerwuqo nvbejkrnrv. cdksoaeilwajn skfnke skfnke. -------------------------------------- Monday, December 15, 2008 "It Ends With A Fall," Okkervil River love. -------------------------------------- Tuesday, December 16, 2008 "It Started With A Mixx," Los Campesinos! okay, so i've liked lyrics before (like all the time)-- this is not new. but i don't think any have ever actually described my life so exactly as these. literally. i think they may have been written about me... it's actually quite scary. anyway, i am therefore utterly in love with this song. it's also just really good musically, etc. duh, it's los campesinos!... -------------------------------------- Wednesday, December 17, 2008 "Starry Stairs," Okkervil River I was really lucky to get the chance to see Will Sheff speak and perform this night. he is truly intelligent and i think his analysis of the music industry and the real significance of art are really worth taking a look at, even if you disagree with him. here's a link to some of his writing ( a bunch of really thoughtful and interesting reviews, etc.): http://www.jound.com/will/articles.html definitely check it out if you get a chance --------------------------------------- Thursday, December 18, 2008 "English House," Fleet Foxes a large majority of this song is solely instrumental (the last 2 minutes or so plus some earlier parts), but it really stands on its own even without lyrics. as i was telling mickey earlier, i really appreciate the obvious emotion in the fleet foxes' music. the singer really puts all of his effort into each note he sings, as do each of the instrumentalists. the result is really powerful and wonderful to listen to. --------------------------------------- Friday, December 19, 2008 "The Fool," Neutral Milk Hotel not really one of the more listened to songs on "in the aeroplane over the sea" but definitely one to check out. the horns are extremely melancholic, but at the same time they have a certain elegance and are very aesthetically pleasing i just realized i kind of have a lot of NMH songs already on this... so i thought today i would have two songs the second one is: "Blind," Hercules and Love Affair i can't decide if Antony Hegarty's voice is unique and great or just obnoxious, but nonetheless Hercules and Love Affair is always a fun, pop-y listen ---------------------------------------- Saturday, December 20, 2008 "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead," Stars "when there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire" intense opening. the rest of the song is not nearly as scary and suicidal sounding. think: happy piano, alternating boy and girl vocals, almost a bit sufjan-esque... ----------------------------------------- Sunday, December 21, 2008 "Letters From The Ambulance," The Fashion the fashion is a pretty obscure danish alternative-rock band. although not very well-known (not really even in the, quote, indie music scene, end quote) these guys have produced some great music that i think plays into a lot of different musical tastes. their self-titled sophmore release (the one with knives as cover art)-- referred to as a "hybrid of new wave, hip hop & dancehall, and alternative rock influences," among various other things-- is really quite excellent and definitely worth a listen

I had this just on my facebook originally, then added it to my last.fm account too, and then firgured why not post it here too! so, here it is: (enjoy!) So basically, I don't know if anyone ever noticed, but I used to post the name of a song each day on my profile. My hope was that I could share some of my favorite music with anyone who was interested in being exposed to new, probably VERY different stuff— seeing as my taste is, well, unique. Today I was thinking, and came to the conclusion that I should make a mini-blog or something with my "song of the day"s. So yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. I'll post a new one whenever I remember. I don't know if anyone's actually gonna read this, but if you do, that's hella rad, and I hope you like my song choices. peace and love. emi PS i'm a big fan of mixes, so if you ever want me to burn you one, just ask! even if i don't know you very well, i'd be very happy to make one when i get a chance (note: it usually takes me awhile cause i'm really busy, but seriously, i love doing it, so take me up on it if you want...) Wait, I don't actually know if you can add to notes... if not, I'll find another way to post my next ones. kk. that's all for now. bye! Wednesday, November 19, 2009. Song of the Day: "Nick & Nora's Theme," Mark Mothersbaugh not only adorable, but just really nice overall ------------------------------------ Thursday, November 20, 2008. "Blood On Our Hands (Justice Remix)," Death From Above 1979 duuuuuuude. SO COOL. ------------------------------------ Friday, November 21, 2008 "Nonpareil of Favor," Of Montreal i really should have been there last night... : ( ------------------------------------ Saturday, November 22, 2008 "Kids (Soulwax Remix)," MGMT so. fucking. awesome. check it. ------------------------------------ Sunday, November 23, 2008 "Foxes Mate For Life," Born Ruffians definitely one of my all=time favorite songs. look up the lyrics if you get a chance. so accurate and meaningful. especially the very first part before the chorus... ------------------------------------ Monday, November 24, 2008 "Lover," Devendra Banhart such an excellent song. perfect for happy, dance-y days when life is just super super great. ps happy birthday sarah! love! ------------------------------------ Tuesday, November 25, 2008 "Do You Love Me Still?" The Kooks this song is indescribable in terms of words. it's that good. ------------------------------------ Wednesday, November 26, 2008 "Metanoia," MGMT 14 minutes of bliss. like actually though. this song reminds me a lot of the book 'steppenwolf' by herman hesse (same author of 'siddhartha'-- so that kind of book...) which is essetnially the meaning of life condensed into about 218 pages or so. the lyrics to this little medley do pretty much the same thing. ------------------------------------ Thursday, November 27, 2008 "The Plot," White Rabbits very good song. Happy Thanksgiving!! ------------------------------------ Friday, November 28, 2008 "Une Année Sans Lumiere," Arcade Fire I feel like this song is one of the more underappreciated ones of the album ('Funeral'). the whole album is really just beautiful. i was reminded of this excellence when i rrandomly decided to listen to it (in its entirety-- no breaks. best way to fully experience its majestic-ness) on the way home from oregon today ------------------------------------ Saturday, November 29, 2008 "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea," Neutral Milk Hotel "...how strange it is to be anything at all..." but oh, how wonderful it is too : ) ------------------------------------ Sunday, November 30, 2008 "Peacebone," Animal Collective this. song. ROCKS. (and so does the band) ------------------------------------ Monday, December 1, 2008 "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi," Radiohead so beautifulllll... lovely lyrics (if you haven't already noticed, i'm a sucker for that. a song is very rarely considered seriously good in my book if it does not have amazing lyrics slash lyrics that really speak to me) ------------------------------------ Tuesday, December 2, 2008 "Vagabond, " Greenskeepers a little rock-y, but still quite excellent ------------------------------------ Wednesday, December 3, 2008 "Juno," Tokyo Police Club this song wins the title today cause it's been stuck in my head ever since i listened to it photo almost 8 HOURS ago... good thing i like it : ) (ps these guys are awesome live. the keyboardist went so insane when i saw them that the keyboard fell off the stand... pretty great stuff...see them if you ever get a chance) ------------------------------------ Thursday, December 4, 2008 "In The New Year," The Walkmen SO. FUCKING. GREAT. ------------------------------------ Friday, December 5, 2008 "You! Me! Dancing!" Los Campesinos! equally amazing. ------------------------------------ Saturday, December 6, 2008 "Evident Utensil (MGMT Remix)," Chairlift so so so so so so so good. i'm such a fan of these guys... anyone know if mezzanine is 21 and older? i think so. fuck. i really need to get a fake id so i can go to concerts like this one (on december 10, at mezzanine, featuring: chairlift, cold war kids, vampire weekend. yeah, that's right. ALL THREE. -- not so silent night pre-party... i wanna go so badly!!!) just checked, and it's sold out anyway : ( well, i guess there's always next year... ------------------------------------ Sunday, December 7, 2008 "Up On Your Leopard, Upon The End Of Your Feral Days," Sunset Rubdown pretty siiiick. i really love sunset rubdown. ------------------------------------ Monday, December 8, 2008 "Prehistoric," Circulatory System some of the guys from The Olivia Tremor Control + some extras = excellence. ------------------------------------ Tuesday, December 9, 2008 "How Well Can You Swim?" Panther not feeling like i can very well, at the moment... (in case that confused you, think of it metaphorically) ------------------------------------ Wednesday, December 10, 2008 "Think I Wanna Die," Someone Still Loves You Boris Yelstin i am actually obssessed with this song. like entirely. it's been playing over and over again in my head alllllllll day and it's just so super great. ------------------------------------ Thursday, December 11, 2008 "Neonland," Detektivbyrån hell yeah i named my last.fm after this song! (if you have one, friend me! i'm: xxneonlandxx) ------------------------------------- Friday, December 12, 2008 "We Care," MGMT i really wish 'climbing to new lows' and the 'we (don't) care ep" were more accessible because they are really so so so great. i love you andrew vanwyngarden and ben goldwasser!! like actually though...
