Day 10 is a song that makes you fall asleep.  I don't really have that, but lately I've been listening to Amanda Palmer Down Under while TRYING to sleep, and I really enjoy this song on the album:

Bad wine and lemon cakes Amanda Palmer and the Jane Austen Argument.  It's not really a very emotional song for me, I just really like the way it sounds ( Read more... )

Apart from anything else, I think I've danced harder to this song than I have ever danced in my life when I went to see Phoenix live.  It was a really phenomenal gig and they played this on their second encore, when I was riding a wave of adrenaline and euphoria (and THC, ( Read more... )
