James - Strangers

Artist: James

Song: Strangers

Album: Millionaires

Year: 1999

"Found a message in the sand, it read 'just do the best you can', this world's not how I planned, you're on your own..."

"Worn down by strangers, all you need's a friend, you've been worn down by strangers, this is not the end..."

*A QUICK ONE: Yes, indeed... one more time it turns out that now the pot is calling the kettle black. Just someone without the moral faculties to back his shit up. And to be honest I got bit down even though I knew it was bullshit... Anyhow, here's your depressing song. Hooray!

*OH SHIT!: I didn't forget that February 7th was the 2nd anniversary of this blog, I had it very very present... The thing is that I got confused big time and I thought that the 7th was today, but what was my surprise when I looked at the fucking calendar and it said Friday, February 8th... I hope this 90's delight makes it up. 

The blogs knows it, but you don't. But now you get the idea of how it would have been if the cake hadn't been delivered on the exact birthday... Bottom line, it is not the same.

*A QUICK ONE: Here's this song from one of my favorite bands. I'm also a bit worried that I haven't heard an news from them, they just disconnected themselves from the world or something and that is never a good sign. Anyway, I just wanted to share it with you, so you can love the guitar part too. 

Please ignore the awful video :S

Ryan Miller - Big Machine

Artist: Ryan Miller (of Guster)
Song: Big Machine
Album: Safety Not Guaranteed Soundtrack
Year: 2012

"Stand straight fall back in line, comb your hair get to work on time, everyone in the big machine tries to break your heart and pull you underneath..."

"Everybody’s talking in their sleep, they push a lot of air around but don’t say much of anything, except when they're laughing like some ghosts under a sheet, everybody’s talking in their sleep..."

*A COMMENT: Yesterday I watched this movie, 'Safety not Guaranteed' and I can say I utterly liked it. And I would have posted this song yesterday, but by the time I watched it I had already posted one. Moreover, before I heard the song in the movie I liked some quotes, paused it, wrote them and save it here as a draft with the intention of writing something about them, then the song came along and Voilà! I got a post.

Now let me give you a quick background. It was shown at 2012 Sundance Film Festival and it was inspired on a classified ad, the one you see on the CD cover, in 1997 as joke. 

Anyhow, if you have the chance, watch it, I highly recommend it. 

Here are the quotes I liked. The first one somehow describes perfectly the purpose of this blog. I loved it.

"It's not just about a girl, it's about a time and a place... It's that time and that place, and that song, and you remember what it was like when you were in that place and then you listen to that song and you know that you are not in that place anymore and it makes you feel hollow... We can't just go find that stuff again."

"The mission has to do with regret. And the mission has to do with mistakes. The mission’s also about love."

Vampire Weekend - Diplomat's Son

Artist: Vampire Weekend
Song: Diplomat's Son
Album: Contra
Year: 2010

"It’s not right but it’s now or never, and if I wait could I ever forgive myself?"

*AN EXPLANATION: I would really like to write a witty and fruitful comment, but meh! I don't really have something to offer to you. In fact I do, but I doubt you'd be interested in what I have to say, it would bore you and/or depress you and I don't want that. I want you to keep coming back to my blog, even though I don't know if there's a constant "fan base", I think the stats are fine, but sometimes I doubt they're reliable. I tend to think is just the 'Blogger' staff/servers checking I'm not posting something inappropriate or merely spam-bots... 

So if you are one who checks this blog constantly, please manifest yourself in the comments, send me an email, or anyway you want, just tell me something, your opinion,  your complaints, your suggestions, your musical tastes, a band you've discovered through this blog, or even better, invite me to form a band with you, really, anything would do, just so I know. Thank you...

*A SMALL ONE:  This was the song I heard there, by there I mean here: 'The 61". I do think I'm lackadaisical... :S
