Thea Pimp Post
I've been meaning to do this for ages but tonight I sat down and actually uploaded the songs.
I get a lot of really awesome music via LJ, either through people posting links or through comms like audiography, so I decided to share the love. Now I have broadband, I hope to do this a little more often.
Anyway, tonight it's (nearly) all Thea Gilmore, because I found her through LJ pimpage and I adore her. She has a gorgeous voice and some really lovely poetic lyrics. I definitely recommend downloading at least a couple of these. 'This Girl Is Taking Bets' is probably my favourite, but all of them are great songs. I hope someone enjoys them. :)
Well here we are then you and me
Some little joke of chemistry
With all our sun bleached history
Fading as the light gets strong and
We are brave and we are fakes of
Tortured art and higher stakes
And winters knocking at the gates
But the clocks are wrong
Thea Gilmore- You Tell Me
This girl is a stencil of a brushstroke in the rain
She's a ghost of the city, she's a body through the windscreen
This girl is the snowfall where the spring should have been
She's the stains on the pages of a top shelf magazine
This girl is a black eye, she's a bruise on your knee
She's the ashes of the people that you really meant to be
Thea Gilmore - This Girl Is Taking Bets (m4a file) - just click, don't right click 'save as'
Cos who's gonna raise a hand
When all we were taught to do is dance
Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche
Thea Gilmore - Avalanche
And I'm a postcard of everything that I've seen
Just a shadow of hot air and steam
But I wouldn't touch me, got no idea where I've been
Thea Gilmore - Lavender Cowgirl
And I smelled the ghosts of the ashes and the orchids
I've got promises tattooed on the insides of my eyelids
And I'll be watching when the Richter reaches 10
I bled by these weapons, babe, and now I'm one of them.
Thea Gilmore - Apparition No 12 (m4a file) - just click, don't right click 'save as'
We are such pretty little failures
On streets paved with fools gold
And no one will think twice about
The nothing that they've sold
Thea Gilmore - Down to Nowhere
Also, I'm going to share this song because it always makes me smile and I secretly would love to see a Starbuck vid made to it. A little bit crack-y.
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt 1
All songs on my domain, beacuse I have more space than I know what to do with.
