Drive by Song Post
I've been going through some of the hundreds of songs that I've yet to listen to on my computer, and I've found some awesome ones!
Among the Oak & Ash - The Housewife's Lament OMFG these guys are awesome! They take old songs/legends/stories and put their own spin on them. My absolute favorite kind of folk, where you can't help but sing along. For life is a toil, love is trouble / Beauty will fade and riches will flee / Pleasures they dwindle and prices they double / And nothing is as nothing should be
Heather Dale - Medusa Nobody thinks that really they're being cruel / when they suggest that I should try and look like them / as if God loved the pretty ones best And, and! Damn 'em all / well this dog will have it's day / my garden's full of pretty men / who couldn't stay away The way the singer uses emphasis in this song is really very nice, some lovely violin throughout, as well.
Bettie Serveert - Lover I Don't Have to Love A cover to a Bright Eyes song I had never heard because I dislike Bright Eyes, but this is really excellent! Compelling, seductive, and the singer has some interesting vocal quirks which fit the song just perfectly. Love's an excuse to get hurt / and to hurt / do you like to hurt? / I do, I do, then hurt me! / then hurt me... / it didn't hurt me, didn't hurt me... Also has a parody of the line, "Nice shoes, wanna fuck?" which makes me love it forever.
Ben Folds Five - Song for the Dumped So many of my friends are going through this right now, I guess it's rubbing off on me or something. Oh, bouncy piano rock, I don't know how to quit you; this is angry and playful as only Ben Folds can be. Fuck you too! Give me my money back!
Marvin the Paranoid Android - Marvin Yaaaaaaaaaay! P.K. played this song for me at con, so later I did a search through my files and sure enough, it was in there! XD I really do need to tidy my computer. It's the original voice of Marvin from the British miniseries of Hitchhiker's that I love so much! Life! Don't talk to me about life!
Dresden Dolls - Missed Me Dark and stilted and threatening, while still desperate and child-like: a consummate actor, is our Amanda Palmer. Missed me, missed me / now you gotta kiss me [...] it serves you right! / for kissing little girls / but I'll visit, if you miss me / say you miss me!
Hee. :D
Oh also, for Anna. :D And! Lolz.
