Music Rec Post #01
Okay, so, in a bid to regularly update this journal and (and!) pimp out Australian bands, I'm gonna start a bit of an Australian music newsletter thingo here @ my journal. So. Enjoy.
Grinspoon - Hold On Me.
(If you like: Cold Chisel, Silverchair, Limp Bizkit, Deftones)
How come you never want to dance with me anymore?
Lying cold, sleep at home while i'm on the floor
How come you never want to dance with me anymore?
You've got a hold on me girl.
Faker - This Heart Attack.
(If you like: Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys)
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
But if I find love where I’m going will it survive me
Architecture in Helsinki - Hold Music
(If you like: Broken Social Scene, Belle and Sebastian)
You're so dangerous
Everybody's gonna hide out back
It doesnt matter that you're serious
Move along sad face your cover's blown
Eskimo Joe - Come Down
(If you like: Powderfinger, INXS)
Forget so easily
Just what it does to me
It blisters off my skin
My bodies caving in
From the pressure of this thing
Ben Lee - Love Me Like The World Is Ending
(If you like: Elliott Smith, Ben Kweller, Ben Folds)
I can see so clearly when your smoke gets in my eyes.
Please me with your promises and hurt me with your lies.
Baby can you hear the message i am sending?
Love me like the world is ending.
Clare Bowditch and the Feeding Set - When the Lights Go Down
(If you like: Martha Wainwright, Beth Orton, Sarah Blasko)
When the lights went down you shined,
like a mirror train at dawn,
with your back carriages closed,
yet the front ones,
always on show.
Bob Evans - Sadness and Whiskey
(If you like: Lenny Kravitz, Ben Folds, Bernard Fanning)
I don't want to be that sentimental guy
Always dreaming of the years that passed him by
All the time forgetting what he holds on to
And for me it's you
John Butler Trio - Good Excuse
(If you like: Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Guster)
You don’t even know what side
you are fighting for
Boy won’t you turn your game boy off
Stop pretending
it’s you against the world
I am sick and I am tried of hearing
Josh Pyke - Lines On Palms
(If you like: Lior, Elliott Smith, Sparklehorse)
There's one house in every town that everyone fears
And everyone steers clear.
And I don't wanna live like that,
I'd rather live somewhere more like you.
Missy Higgins - Sugar Cane
(If you like: Ryan Adams, Sarah McLachlan, Sarah Blasko)
You see my peep show booth is handy.
There's a one way only mirror,
so I can dance here with my hair down,
but i don't see if you get bitter.
The Panics - Don't Fight It
(If you like: New Young Pony Club, The Cops)
I left my heart in places
Forgot everyone of their faces
And tried to navigate a broken path
Of which I may have helped create
In any incident, this is never no accident
To stand alone and
Let the silence make itself at home
Operator Please - Get What You Want
(If you like: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's, Rogue Traders, Lily Allen)
Attack attack my disposition get the venerable predators on the loose.
Yeah let's be vulgar: INTERNET SEX NAKED COMPUTERS.
Kisschasy - Spray On Pants
(If you like: Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Cobra Starship)
They both go to all of the same clubs
Where everyone takes all the same drugs
And talks about how they're 'so fucked up'
Kisschasy - Black Dress
I dug you up this morning and took you home.
To have you here beside me cold but close,
I made my mind up last night that heaven just can’t have you.
Something for Kate - Genie In A Bottle (cover)
(If you like: Powderfinger, The Shins, Amy Mann)
You're licking your lips and blowing kisses my way
But that dont mean I'm gonna give it away
Highly recommended.
Augie March - One Crowded Hour
Now should you expect to see something that you hadn't seen
In somebody you'd known since you were sixteen;
if love is a bolt from the blue, then what is that bolt but a glorified screw?
and that doesn't hold nothing together
Far from these nonsense bars and their nowhere music it's making me sick
And I know it's making you sick
There's nothing there, it's like eating air
It's like drinking gin with nothing else in
And that doesn't hold me together.
Sarah Blasko - Flame Trees (Cover)
Who needs that sentimental bullshit, anyway
Takes more than just a memory to make me cry
I'm happy just to sit here round a table with old friends
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
