Neutral Milk Hotel – Ghost Lyrics 15 years ago
This has always been one of my favorite songs, but it took on some fucking new meaning yesterday. This one girl I kinda knew, ish (like I had met her a few times and thought she was cool) died from a hiking accident, falling off a cliff.

Just a few hours before, she posted a picture on Facebook with a NMH art piece and had the last verse with it;

And one day in New York City, baby
A girl fell from the sky
From the top of a burning apartment building
Fourteen stories high
And when her spirit left her body
How it split the sun
I know that she will live forever
All goes on and on
And she goes
And now she knows that she'll never be afraid
To watch the moring paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escape
De de de de de de...

And now the only thing I can think about with this song is this girl I barely knew and how god damn scary that is when life imitates art...and no, not a suicide note--it was an accident through and through.

Just thought I'd share. NMH wow. I can't think of anybody with more powerful music than this.

Sleigh Bells – Rill Rill Lyrics 15 years ago
If this isn't the album of the year, it's the album of the summer at the very least. I didn't think they'd be able to keep the magic from the demo intact, but it's still fuckamazing!!
