and i was hoping you'd creep in...with me

Who's Have Known-Lily Allen
from It's Not Me, It's You

since apparently, the music videos i post on my blog now exclusively revolve around my feelings HAH.
i know tons of people want to KNOCK lily allen, her lyrics are really always refreshing to me. no one is really writing lyrics quite like her. she is in her 20s, she is love forelorn, the girl feels the shit of life and she sings it. this video is a nice-ish live version-other live version are kinda OBNOX-i get it why people dislike her i DO, the album version is soft and sweet but no video yet. its 3 in the morning...this is the song i am digging on. enjoy!


i didn't know where this was going..... when you kissed me

i know you'll fade in time

Faster- Rachel Yamagata

this is a little more acoustic than the version from her album i've been jamming to on my iPod on many a subway ride this week.
i love the tone of her crackly voice and these lyrics. the song really just captures how i have been feeling lately. i am just going faster than i have ever before. i commend ms. yamagata for this story she paints with this song. so grungy edge, angry alt grrl rock. my fav. its funny i never understood her huge cult like appeal for a long time, but anthems like this really proved me wrong. so yeah i totally dig now. enjoy!


i feel what i'm feeling, i should've been feeling it all along

i'm haunted by your eyes...

Au Revior Simone- Shadows
first single off of Still Night, Still Bright
out today
the new album is very electro. more so than their former albums. but its classic ARS. sweet and indie female vocals. albums on sale on itunes now or 7" vinyl at most indie record stores worth their weight.
i need to go one of their shows. soon. i haven't seen them live yet, and i wish i had been at this union pool show. le sigh.
damn they are a delight.

...don't blame it on your shadow....

another stand out for me, Trace a Line.

All or Nothing from the album as well. lalalalala

everywhere is somewhere baby

you're a liar and thats the truth

An Actor Out of Work- St. Vincent
from Annie Clark's new sophomoric album Actor
due out tomorrow, may 5th
its seems like such a rush after her 2007 first solo album, Marry Me, that i was absolutely obsessed with only last summer, but that album was a bit of a sleeper hit.
if you are in Austin tomorrow, go to the listening party with Camera Obscura @the Mohawk, i bet it will be major
this video is from the sxsw sessions from npr, i like it more than the refined video. i like her raw, her voice is so pure and sugar sweet and mixed with those groovy guitar rifts...you know i am sucker for that with a sprinkle of whimsically back beats. i have also heard The Strangers from the album...its great too [paint the black hole, blacker...] this is a delightful, light, not too in your face, but highly enjoyable album to start the summer's slew of indie hits.

i think i love you, i think i am mad
