| CocoRosie – Promise Lyrics | 15 years ago |

i was just listening to this song after not hearing it for a while... and i thought the same thing -- too funny! it's definitely coincidental. i'm pretty sure the twilight protagonists are not "tarnished offerings," lol. |

| Xiu Xiu – Fabulous Muscles (Mama Black Widow Version) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i'm currently reading the "Mama Black Widow" book right now--i accidentally found it in a bookstore, and got it on a whim just because i love this song. the novel is just like many xiu xiu songs, full of heartbreak and tragedy. no wonder jamie wrote a song about the main character. he perfectly captured the rawness of the novel and made it his own. fucking gold! |

| Xiu Xiu – I Luv the Valley OH! Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i'd like to think the valley he's talking about is where he's from (san jose, california thereabouts). and that valley represents lots of things (home, hurt, history etc) jamie used to be in a band called IBOPA--the indestructible beat of palo alto--and palo alto is a town incidentally in the santa clara valley. i dunno. i'd probably have to ask him what valley he's actually referring to... love this song! especially that visceral "OH!" |

| CocoRosie – Left Hand Shoe Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i was just listening to this today and it's kind of surreal how michael jackson is dead now. also, i have no clue what a "left-hand shoe" could be. i guess this song is comparable to a surrealist painting and could be surreal in itself, something like that. |

| CocoRosie – Miracle Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i heard an earlier version of the song from live sound footage (in 2006) that added to the lyrics: "i met a girl, i kissed her in the bathroom of my high school i saw her at a club, she was doing her thing yes, she was my girl yeah, she was my friend i'll be your girl it's a miracle (etc)" hmmmm! i wonder why bianca didn't include these in the album version. the footage is from here: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/artiesten/artiest/19267707 (look under "concerten" cause its in dutch or something like that. i'm not exactly sure 'cause i was just looking around.) |
