I've got Daydreams Galore

Of course every episode of House, there's usually one song that I fall instantly in love with, this week being a Fiona Apple cover of Cy Colemans "Why Try to Change Me Now". If this doesn't tug that heart of yours, nothing will. An ideal rainy day evening song to listen to with a bottle of wine, candles, fancy cheeses, and swoon in and out with the piano.

Why Try To Change Me Now

I'm sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I've got some habits
That I can't explain
Could start for the corner
Turn up in Spain
Why try to change me now

I sit and daydream
I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes
There they go on the floor
I go away weekends
And leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now

Why can't I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that's not for me
Cuz I can't see
My kind of crazy world
Go passing me by

So let people wonder
Let 'em laugh
Let 'em frown
You know I'll love you
Till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me now

Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me
Why try to change me now

My Brown Sound Jacket

Oh! I have a favorite album of the year thus far, going to none other than Spoon. Sure they're catchy as hell, however I find their new album "Transference" to be on the nitty/gritty/dirty indie rock side. They splash in their usu piano and guitar driven licks, I particularly like the swagger these guys have and the way in which they explore this demo-ly polished 5th album. I'm Ga Ga Ga for these guys even more so than before, and this is the only band that continuously puts out albums varying in mediums like my beloved Radiohead. I remember catching Spoon live at S.D.S.S. two years ago and being blown away by how much they kicked ass live, leaving me in a foot and head bopping state. Well come April I will get to catch them along with the hipster-ass crowd, shred my ears with love and distortion.

Spoon- Trouble Comes Running

There are Very Many Places

Everyone needs a little KOC (Kings of Convenience) in their life. This remix done by Four Tet rhythmically splices and gives you that build up throughout the entire track. I'm quite the sucker for going into the fade with drums and percussion bliss, and this track just about does it, while staying in an semi-organic zone. Enjoy!

She Killed it with Kisses

I'm a bit late on the fanatic Florence and the Machines train, however I managed to hop on the last one of the evening! She's sassy, full voiced, fierce, and not doing too shabby with her fiery red hair, god I love a pretty ginger like Jlew. This song is bound to up your day and be a feel good track to your week, which has been coasting in the 70's and isn't too bad if I do say so myself. Oh happy day my lovelies!

Speakers are Blowing

I'm guilty of being a Twilight lover and surprisingly enough, a Radiohead lover paralleling that. When I heard this Thom Yorke track in the film I fell in love, and somehow it's entire soundtrack is audible and enjoyable on many levels. This song in particular is synthy and layered with ribbons of tension and sorrow.
