I feel like posting some songs, just because of the great lyrics

"Wouldn't it be great to be Dorian Gray, just for a day?"
The Libertines - Narcissist
A lovely question, wouldn't we all want to be that man of beauty from Oscar Wilde's novel. Its a great book which although overtly gay does conjure up some amazing imagery, coupled with the characterisation of the central character as this lustful, passion-desiring man who would sink to the lowest of lows and commit the most heinous acts for no fear of reprisal. I don't think i'd want to be him to be honest, there is such a lack of restraint and his nature is despicable

"It was all a dream/I used to read word up magazine"
Notorious B.I.G. - Juicy
Possibly the best opening line ever. Rhyming dream and magazine makes it a winner which although i guess is not a hard rhyme, just stuck out at me as a good'un. The song also mentions super nintendo and the sega genesis consoles. Which is coooool. Also can't wait to see the Notorious film coming out next year.
TRAILER:


"Loooooooooovvve me, wherever you are"
Razorlight - Wire to Wire
Ok, basic chorus but still I find it touching. The song is also very good, even coming from a band which are decidedly hit and miss with me. I absolutely hate Borrell, i'm sure of that but the band just produce good song after good song. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't actually involved in the rest of the song. The song's also been stuck in my head for a while now so I thought it best to include here.

Ok, it's gone and past now, but couple of days ago i was listed in the hottest blog section on hype machine :) to prove look left for the pic. Well I might not have been at the top, which I would like to one day but it was a good advancement and my hits are nearing 25,000. Which i like to be fair.

Anyway, I want to post a few tracks that I've been enjoying recently

Cut Copy - Far Away

The Hold Steady - Stay Positive

Los Campesinos - Death to Los Campesinos!

Wow I actually received something good in my email inbox yesterday, sorry to the people who send me stuff, but mostly it is not to my liking, yeah there have been a few good tracks here and there.

Well I've heard of Spinto Band somewhere before, either an enthusiastic friend/magazine article but my memory deceives me. Anyway the two songs I was given were from their recent album Moonwink and they are pretty awesome

I actually want this album now, based on the strength of these songs

The Spinto Band - Summer Grof

and also their new single and generally awesome song
The Spinto Band - Pumpkins and Paisley
