Watching terrible TV, it kills all thought. Getting spacier than...
Oh, that one moment with the lights down low. He's got sweat stinging his eyes and he keeps reaching up to them, pushing thick hair of the way. He wants to see them--his crowd.
And just like that, his fingers are on the neck of his guitar, fondling the frets.
"I played this, for the first time. It was in the shower, with my acoustic."

That DCfC song is one of my favorites ever. Ben Gibbard is such a poet. And the fact that he married Zooey Dechanel, it's the universes way of being awesome, I think.
I've been listening the hell out of old The Promise Ring records. Songs that have stuck out to me have been "Get on the Floor" and "Stop Playing Guitar". And "Suffer Never", but I can't find that on the 'net.
As a general rule, I recommend The Lawrence Arms and Sundowner whenever humanly possible. These songs remind me of Tim a lot, "Overheated" and for acoustic goodness, "Midsummer Classic". Oh! And "First Eviction Notice" and "Your Gravest Words"... and I'll stop. The whole "Your Gravest Words" album is just... beautiful if you like poetic lyrics, with some toughness.
And Superchunk. I completely missed Superchunk when they were alive and kicking. Which is so unfortunate because, wow. They are everything I want in an indie band. Um, I like "Kicked In". I think it's really passionate in kind of... um, a quiet way? "The First Part".
Notable artists on the rotation lately... "Miike Snow", "Minipops", "Reverie Sound Review", "Bon Iver", "Brad Sucks"... I could list music all. day. long.
Oh! And you can never discount Built to Spill and The Jealous Sound! They are both played often. I like "Keep it like a Secret" the best, but... it's a tough call.
... I'll shut up now.

I've never encountered Promise Ring prior to today. They invite further attention, though I think I'm often hooked by bands immediately with a more aggressive tempo. Promise Ring sounds like a drifting along, lassez-faire type mentality. A "content" as opposed to a "something's wrong" kind of meaning that I get from a lot of DCfC.
Does any of that make sense?
Ah! Lawrence Arms reminds me of Brand New. Boy that takes me back. My best friend got me into the Brand New craze, and she could get into bands like nobody else I knew could. I'm definitely footnoting them for future over-listening.
I know the Jealous Sound. :3 "Hope for Us" grabbed me, and it makes me think of the whole Odyssey, in a way. Of long journeys and things far too powerful being far too interested in plaguing you. Did you honestly believe, that you could ever leave/ any time that you'd want?
Mmmmm.
Please do list music all day. When I can spare an evening, I'll put as much strange sounds on my playlist. This time around, I'll be sure to list who gave me what. My old flist used to throw good sounds, and I'd loose track of appreciating who with what.
