Saybia "Angel" (Live)

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 13:15:18 -0700

Saybia - Angel (Live Acoustic Session on Lowlands 2007)

Melissa Ruth Anderson

November 19, 1973 - October 4, 2008

Rest in peace

It's not the world that's out of order
It's me, it's me
Guess I ran along my borders
Just to see, just to see

If a friendly face would drop by and rescue me
But I lost my faith as I lost my breath

It's not the street that's made of concrete
It's you, it's you
Guess I try to penetrate it with this point of view
I had never taken more than I give to you
I was led astray and I lost my way

Never felt so alone
Stripped naked and cold to the bone
Lost my faith in her on my own
With no queue by the door to my home

It's not the light that casts the shadow
It's doubt, it's doubt
As a melancholic sorrow came about, came about

I had never fought as hard though as I do for you
I'm not getting strong to prove I'm wrong

Never felt so alone
Stripped naked and cold to the bone
Lost my faith in her on my own
With no queue by the door to my home

And god sent an angel
An angel
She's an angel
An angel

Never felt so alone
Stripped naked and cold to the bone
Lost my faith in her on my own
With no queue by the door to my home
God sent an angel
Sent an angel
She's an angel
An angel
She's an angel

It's not my life that's obsolete
It's youth, my youth
Guess it took a while for me to see the truth, see the truth
I got stuck in minor details so I missed the point
I got so much more than I bargained for

Let's go steady!

The Black Ghosts "Repetition Kills You"

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:04:25 -0700

The Black Ghosts 'Repetition Kills You'

You feel lonesome don't you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The light that you seek just ain't in you today
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

So bang your head against the wall
But no one wants to see you fall down
The repetition kills you, the repetition kills you, the repetition kills you

Put your hands over your eyes
And stumble your way through the night
The repetition kills you, the repetition kills you, the repetition kills you

You feel lonesome don't you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The light that you seek just ain't in you today
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

So shout until your hear no more
But don't you ever ask yourself why
The repetition kills you, the repetition kills you, the repetition kills you

Dig yourself a bottomless hole
But don't you ever lose that light
The repetition kills you, the repetition kills you, the repetition kills you

This is a repetition of words, dancing needs a
repetition to work

You feel lonesome don't you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The light that you seek just ain't in you today
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

So bring it up, bring it up, bring it up yeah
The repetition kills you
So bring it up, bring it up, bring it up yeah
The repetition kills you
So bring it up, bring it up, bring it up yeah
The repetition kills you
So bring it up, bring it up, bring it up yeah
The repetition kills you

This is a repetition of words, dancing needs a
repetition to work

Kings of Leon "Closer"

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:16:24 -0700

Closer

Kings of Leon

Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplight is swaying and the phone lines are down
Snow is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangle of vein
Showing no mercy I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying
Baby I'll bleed you dry
Skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

You shimmy-shook my boat
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me
Where am I now
Baby where do I sleep
Feels so good but I'm old
2000 years of chasing taking its toll

And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

The Rip = Radiohead + Portishead

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:43:27 -0700

Scented and tall

Portishead - The Rip (Live on Jools Holland)

Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself
And the bitterness I felt
I realise that love flows

Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?

Through the glory of life

Radiohead - The Rip (Portishead cover)

I will scatter on the floor
Disappointed and sore
And in my thoughts I have bled
For the riddles I've been fed
Another lie moves over

Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?

The Stills "Lola Stars and Stripes"

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:11:44 -0700

We all need to feel secure
We're so middle class
But I'm still waiting for next week's chemical blast

Don't go feeling insecure, no feeling sad
With an M-16 you'll feel the surge of our American blast
But are you afraid?
You always said the world would never last
and Lola I'm not afraid
If you star-wipe all your past away
And the sun burns one more day

Lola, Lola, will the world end me and you
Lola, Lola, no we're never gonna make it through

Can you take me back to that place where stars glow
Comets swarm like fireflies outside your window

But are you afraid?
You always said the world would never last
And Lola I'm not afraid
If you star-wipe all your past away
And the sun comes one more day

Lola, Lola, will the world end me and you
Lola Lola Lola Lola ooooohhhh

Portishead "Machine Gun"

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 12:35:30 -0700

I saw a saviour
a saviour come my way
I thought I'd see it
at the cold light of day
but now I realise that I’m
Only for me

if only I could see
You turn myself to me
and recognise the poison in my heart
there is no other place
no one else I face
remedy, we’ll agree, is how I feel

here in my reflecting
What more can I say?
for I am guilty
for the voice that I obey
too scared to sacrifice a choice
chosen for me

if only I could see
You turn myself to me
recognise the poison in my heart
there is no other place
no one else I face
The remedy, to agree, is how I feel

Let's go steady!

The Format "Dog Problems"

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:07:41 -0700

The Format "Dog Problems"

Don't you dare speak for someone you don't know.
They'll feel it in the back of their throat.
We know I can't construct a poem,
Cause words like girls get bored and run
C'est la vie, I say "I've got so many better things"
I've got nothing, you should see me,
I smoke myself to sleep.

And blame postmodern things I can't relate,
Like summer camp and coastal states.
Like alcohol and coffee beans.
Dance floors and magazines.
I think its safe to say I've only got myself to blame
But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down,
Taking pictures of themselves.

And so I walk the web in search of love,
But always seem to end up stuck.
I'm finding flaws in everyone.
I've reached the point where all I want,
Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up.
We are parallel lines we’re running in circles,
We're never meant to cross.

I'm at a loss, you were my tangerine,
My pussycat, my trampoline.
Now alls I get are wincing cheeks,
And dog problems, I signed a lease.
Thinking my heart belonged at 93rd and park.
Instead I broke a girl’s heart,
And flew back to Phoenix to finish the year as it started.

Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
This is the sound of my heart breaking.
And I hope it's entertaining,
Cause for me it’s a bitch.
Was it worth it?
When you slept with him?
Did you get it all out of your system?

I am a man
Holding it all
I couldn’t breath
Coming across
I didn’t know
I couldn’t give up

B is for believing you'd always be here for me.
E is for everything, even when we see it though.
C, c is for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me to
A because, because, you always run away.

I never finish phrases, I misspell.
Open arms are prison cells.
When I said, "I hate what I've become"
I lied, I hated who I was.
So when you start to wonder 'bout the pain in my throat,
Then don't you ever, no never, ever, speak for someone you don't know.

Let's go steady!

DG Bohos "Land of Trevors (LND)"

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:08:13 -0700

DG Bohos is the creature of two very talented prebucesent UK boys named Dylan and George. Dylan provides the bones of the band, writing lyrics and music. George provides the meat as lead singer and charismatic front man. DG Bohos isn't kid stuff; they're serious about the music, busking their craft to hone their sound. (I can't confirm this just yet, but I believe this is Dylan and George busking Knocking on Heaven's Door on the street...)

BG Bohos is (incredibly) unsigned and un-noticed on youtube. As far as I can gather, their only real web presence is their youtube video channel, which features the band's many of original tunes. Here is band info, purloined from DG Bohos' youtube.com channel:

We're two 12 year old boys from Steyning - where we started busking; than last summer we branched out to Brighton. We've played several gigs, performed at school events and private parties. Throw us in at the deep end... we're not fazed by anything!

My favorite DG Bohos tune is Land of the Trevors (LND). Here are some sample lyrics: I'm gonna tell you the truth now, And I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna give you some proof now, And tell you the reason why, Love is just another illusion, everything around me is just another confusion, Let me take you to the Land of Trevors, with colored clouds and golden feathers, Now wouldn't that be clever?

Let's go steady!

Top Secret (1984)

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:54:06 -0700

Jacked these words from IMDb.com:

American rock star Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer) teams up with the lovely Hillary Flammond (Lucy Gutteridge) to escape capture by the East German High Command. They don't have long, as Rivers and Flammond must try to find her father, in order to stop him from creating the ultimate super weapon, known as 'the Polaris Mine'. A host of characters join them, including Déjà Vu (Jim Carter) and Chocolate Mousse (Eddie Tagoe) Written by Film_Fan

Are you lonesome tonight?
Is your kitchen a sight?
Is your wardrobe all run down and bare?

Is your lipstick all smeared?
Are your stockings not sheer?
Do they make your legs show all your hair?

Do the tears on your pillow roll down as you turn?
Do they short out your blanket
And make the sheets burn?

Is your heart filled with pain?
Will you come back again?
Shop at Macys and love me tonight.

Bell X1 "Next to You"

nobody@vox.com(mediaChick) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 14:01:49 -0700

Next To You

Bell X1

I love this band! When you're done falling in love with them too, check out my other post with the live video performance of them performing "Bad Skin Day". Meow! And here's Bell X1's official Web presence...and the youtube.com video search results for them. You're welcome!

It was part of our experiment
Went you said go and I went
like a gooseberry on Noah's ark

I watched them file in two by two
And I set sail without you
And we were carried on the flood of your tears

Time pulls a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes

Now I'm looking for dry land
As all this crying subsides
But I'm like Columbus in India

I'm a little all over the shop
Like those souvenirs from Knock
that come all the way from China

Time pulls a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes

'Cos we'd be stuck in this place
For an age or two
I hope the wind changes
And the vacuum in space will draw me to you
I hope the wind changes

I'm not over you, can I get back under
