Five Songs I'm Loving This Week (and One Awesome Halloween Song)
Muwahahahaha
I'm mentioning this first because I actually found it after I'd finished my Five Songs list, so it's a bonus. It's such an awesome bonus, though, that it's going first. Sorry other
bands. You just have to wait.
If Tim Burton had had the idea to record "Do They Know It's Christmas", (and let's be honest--his hair is similar to Bob Geldof's. Is it too much to imagine?) it might've turned out like this. In fact, I'm sure the inspiration for the title is from that seminal song. This particular song, with proceeds going to charity also, is called "Do They Know It's Halloween?". The lineup of musicians is known as North American Hallowe'en Prevention, Inc. If you don't believe in the power of a great Halloween song, and don't want to take a chance downloading it, stream it here. You'll thank me!
Nice song, and I will have you all know I spent fifteen minutes searching for an already posted mp3, because I don't want to abuse yousendit. Plus it just looks better if it comes from an actual website. I originally got this song from Ben Loves Music, but as usual I was too slow. The song, I'm sure, is long gone from his site, but this site kindly is still hosting it. The song is "Shut Your Eyes," and the band is called Shout Out Louds. Once again, I'm convinced that Sweden rocks more than almost any other country (don't smirk. I'll sic the dude from Soundtrack of Our Lives on you. He talks about killin' people.)
I'm really loving this song. When it came up on my mp3 player, I knew I wouldn't have any problems remembering it. It left an impression on me. The music is like a mixture of the neo-new wave (that is odd--new new wave) that I like so much and some of less classifiable independent music I listen to. One could draw comparisons to Dogs Die in Hot Cars or Stellastar. I wouldn't argue too much. The name of the band is Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah (I love band names that double as commands), and the song is "In This Home On Ice."
I hope I haven't posted this song before. I don't believe I have, but then again I've been made a monkey out of before (eh, the lyrics mention that. I thought it was funny. I think alot of stuff is funny. It's generally not, but I think it is.) Anyway, I was predisposed to like this band, being an English Major, and all. I was most pleased to discover I like the song. The name of the band is...duh duh duh...The English Department, and the song is "Volume."
I originally heard this next band, Hello Saferide, through Said The Gramophone, who featured the person behind this band, Annika Norlin, recently. Of course I'm too late to actually be able to post a working link from that site, so I'm forced to yousendit again. I'd prefer to post an actual link, but in some cases I don't have a choice. I googled, and googled, and slaved, and searched...nothin'. Anyways, the name of the song is "Teen Line." It's a cover, but I'd never heard it before. The original was done by a band called Jeans. Also, here's her website. She has two other songs available for download.
My retro-active song is a song that's meant a lot to me since I first heard it 11 years ago. Most people don't know that Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil, The Fifth Element) is a musician and songwriter, but she is. She's an extraordinary songwriter; one that unfortunately only produced one album. It's a spectular album, though. Here's "The Gentleman Who Fell," from the CD The Divine Comedy. This is only one of the great songs on this CD. I am not kidding you; I don't joke about divine music.

Five Songs I'm Loving This Week (another "lola is tired" edition)
Warning: My commentary is more lame than last week's 'cause I'm tired as hell. What is making me so tired? No overtime. I didn't do anything after work. I dunno.
Mobius Band, "Twilight" Any song that uses the lyrics "I will keep my shitty office job" is a cool song.
I have a thing for trippy masculine lyrics. The more electronic, the better. This is one of those songs. One might say a quintessential Lola song. The name of the band is Maybe Smith, and the song is "Everyone Ruins Something." Click on "media" on the left, and the mp3s will come up. If I've posted this before, I apologize. I like all the other songs I've heard by them, also.
This is from 2002 (eesh I can be behind sometimes), but I like the song. I'm posting a link to the video because I couldn't find an mp3 . Anyways, it's by Steve Almaas & Ali Smith, and it's called "Moving In Your Sleep"
Nice song! I saw their video for Jetsetter and liked it, but this song is a little less kitschy. It's called"9thdegree" (look towards the end of the post) and it's by Morningwood.
Yay! I've spent an hour looking for an mp3 of this song! Go me! I wanted it because I downloaded a more recent acoustic version, and, well, I didn't like it. If you listen to this version, though, you will hear the song that ruled my 11th grade existence. Retro-active link: The Church, "Under the Milky Way"
I can't remember if I've posted this before (and it's too late in the evening for me to search through my blog). I'm direct linking to this mp3 because most of the mp3 links on the page don't work, and rather than having everyone guess which one I'm referring to, I'll just posting directly to it. Hopefully the mp3 police won't catch on. Watch out for pop-ups, by the way. The Linger Effect, "I am a Watercolour (Water Soluble mix by Iron Monkey)"
It's entirely possible that I've posted this song before, (maybe even last week), but I'm tired, and I like it. Listen to it again if you've heard it before. It's called "Sway," and it's by The Perishers.
Dave Grohl's teeth are really white, and I bet that microphone is soaked.
Some extras:
Though this hasn't blown me away like 2002's Ágætis Byrjun, this is still a Sigur Ros album, and therefore is well-deserving of our humble admiration. Stream their new album Takk
Two really nice Sinead O'Connor songs available for streaming from Filter magazine. They're not new songs, but they're from her upcoming collection of collaberations. The first one is "Special Cases", and it's with Massive Attack. The second is with Peter Gabriel, and it's called "Blood of Eden."
That's all. I'mdying crashing now. I may've done more than five songs. I don't care.

Five Songs I'm Loving This Week
The first song is one I've been obsessing over for weeks (don't I always say something like that?) Anyways, it's beautiful and it breaks my heart. It's called "O You With Flowers,"
and it's by a band I really like called Royal City. I originally got this song from Said The Gramophone two months ago but it's been taken down. I posted a yousendit link--warning: It will expire in seven days.
The second song is Zap210 and it's by a band called Baikonour. Like most electronic bands, this band isn't comprised of a collective--it's just one person, French-born, Britain-based Jean-Emmanuel Krieger. This song is an interesting, slightly boppy instrumental, and it's available from their label, Melodic. Click on the audio link at the top right, and it'll be the first song.
***
Uh...well, I was gonna put a particular song here, but when I was looking in google for a version of it, my blogspot actually popped up from when I posted it two months ago. Oops.
***
Okay, another yousendit link. I've just spent an hour trying to find a copy of this song online, and no luck :) It's available as part of a Beat The Indie Drum mix, but I'm not going to ask anyone to download a dozen songs just for one! (Though I bet all the songs are great.) The song is called "Life Lines," and the band is Bionic Systems Go. Here' s the yousendit link. May they never cut me off. Don't forget these expire after seven days!
I like this song. And finally one that's still posted! I have got to get quicker about posting these songs once I hear them. This is (what a great name) "Blood & Peanut
Butter" by BC Camplight. Yep, blood and peanut butter. All anyone ever needs :)
The next one is a retro-active song, and another yousendit link. A friend of mine (younger than me) didn't know Bjork was in a band before she went solo! Granted my friend was in around first grade at the time, but still...this song rocked my little heart when I was growing up. I still listen to it with wonder. It's "Birthday," by The Sugarcubes...today is a birthday...we're smoking seagulls... Yes, Bjork. Yes, we are.

Five Songs I'm Loving This Week
I'm going to have more than one song from 3hive today because I'm worried they'll take them down, though one of the songs is from June, so the risk of that seems minimal. Still, I like the songs I heard, so there's no point in waiting to post them.
The first song is in the most recent post, and it's by a band called The Constantines. Their music seems to run between hard, fast punk and more melodic punk, reminding me some of my favorite Clash/Joe Strummer songs. This song, "On to You" is the latter. The singer breathes between phrases and instead of a steady, furious pace, the band allows the song to slightly dissolve, just to build back up again. I love songs like that.
...and I just like the second song. I'm not sure what to say about it. It's called "Pass the Music"; it's by a band called The Movies, and this guy's voice gets under my skin, but in an ultra-good way. Much like Jeff Buckley's did. I want him to pass the music to me. I want to be there to catch the music, and hand it back to him if he'd like me to.
There's a song I linked to a few weeks ago called "I Lost You, But I Found Country Music." I actually first heard the band Ballboy through Said the Gramophone, but I downloaded the song from the band's website. Well I just fell in love with that song. I'd play it over and over again and think of the ex-boyfriends who I'm sure would think of me should they hear it. Then I realized there was no possible for me to be any more juvenile. Anyway, the point is: how happy was I to find another version of it sung by Laura Cantrell with the singer from Ballboy, Gordon McIntire? I was ver' happy. Ver' happy, indeed.
Y'know. I'd never thought I'd like a song by anyone named Bobo. I never thought I'd ever have occasion to come across anyone named Bobo. However, there is this song called "Stop" that is very beautiful, and that I absolutely adore. It is by a gentleman named Harlan T. Bobo. I do not know if that is a stage name, but it is the name the song is billed under.
The last song isn't a 3hive song. The name of it is "Call it Clear", and it's be a band named Halloween, Alaska. Cool name, huh? I got it off the wonderful Fingertips site. I've been listening to this every day since I downloaded it a few weeks ago. Besides the obvious connection of their name, and my birthday being Halloween, I just like this song. It's pretty, it's delicate and I love the way it cuts off mid-word. I just love that stuff.

Five Songs I'm Loving This Week
(Update: Still working overtime. Still exhausted. Still rambling)
I'm a little bit confused. I can't believe I haven't linked to the song "When She Appeared" but Aaron Booth yet, because I listen to this song every day and I love it. I don't see it in the last few months of posts, though, and I'm too tired to go back to the beginning of the year. If I have posted it, I apologize, and maybe
someone will see it who missed it the first time. Anyways, find it on his site, along with more of his songs.
TOMIHIRA, "2 LATE" I just heard of this band today (named after the lead singer.) I really like all the songs, but the one I'm specifically mentioning stood out for me. Thanx to Sixeyes. Also see their Myspace site.
I've listened to this song probably a hundred times, and this is another one I don't believe I've linked to. She has a beautiful voice, and this song is a stand-out. It's by Rose Polenzani, and it's called " Blue Angel." It makes me cry (as all good songs do--well, some good songs don't make me cry. Gwen Stefani's "Rich Girl" only makes me cry because I want all the Vivienne Westwood clothes I can buy. M.I.A.'s songs don't make me cry. Neither do the Flaming Lips. But most good songs make me cry.)
This is a nice alt-country song. Very Appalachian sounding (not that I know much about that area, but I imagine the music sounding alot like this.) The name of the band is Hank Dogs, and the song is " Whole Way." Thanx to Six Eyes again.
Retroactively:
I was (cough, cough, sputter) years old when this cd (yes, they were making cds then) came out, and it's actually one of my oldest cds. And it still plays! This album knocked me over when I first heard it, and it still does (cough, cough, sputter) years later. I don't know if she's still making music, but I know I didn't too much care for the two cds I heard after this one (unfortunately.) Her name is Tanita Tikaram, and the song is "Twist In My Sobriety." (This link is good for only one week.)
I'd like to include the next song as a bonus. I'm not making it part of the regular post because I just linked to a song of theirs a few weeks ago, plus the song is quite a few years old. The song is very awesome, though, and I always turn it up a little when it comes on my mp3 player. It's by the July 26th Movement, and it's called "All Farewells."(Another Yousend it link, good for seven days.) I originally heard it through Ben Loves Music.

Five Songs I'm Loving This Week (plus an extra one because I'm in a bad mood, and I feel guilty for doing something as precious as the 5 Songs list when my heart really isn't into it)
I'm very tired in general, so there's a very good chance I may accidently repost something I've already done. Also, it's going to have more than one retro song, I believe, because I've been so busy with work I haven't had a chance to download anything new. Also please forgive me if I don't comment much. I'm just really tired--I've been working alot of overtime.
The first song I know I haven't posted before, because I just downloaded it. It can't be too new because I found it on epitonic, which hasn't updated in I would guess over a year. The name of the song is "Lord Gregory," and it's by a Scottish man named Alisdair Roberts. I'd never heard of him before, but he's worked with a lot of bands I like.
This band, Sunny So Brite, I've linked to before, but I'm almost entirely sure I posted a different song. This is an Alabama band, and unlike a lot of Alabama bands, I can actually say I like this one :) The song "Big Empty Space" is the one I think people should listen to.
Online I found a tribute EP of songs from John Hughes movies. I don't think anyone would be surprised to learn that I worship John Hughes movies from the eighties. Farmer Ted, Long Duck Dong, Bender, and of course DUCKIE!!! (I love you Duckie. I'll go to the prom with you.) Anyway, the cd is actually from the late nineties, but the style of the music is the same as the music I listen to now. They're in WMA form. I nearly had a stroke trying to convert them into MP3 form using Musicmatch. Musicmatch is on my shitlist. Very much so. By the by, I'm using this site Ive never used before. If it adds any spyware to
you computer (or if you experience any negative effects), please let me know and I'll stop using it.
I don't like all the versions of the songs, but I really like two of them:
Ciao Bella,"If You Were Here"
and Ninety-and-Nine, "Bring On The Dancing Horses" Also please tell me if these don't work.
I like this song alot. I've been meaning to post it forever, but I just haven't yet. It's by a band called Mobius, and it's called "Starts With A Bang." You can download it from their site. Click on music, and choose the record City Vs. Country. Awesome song.
I've technically reached my five songs, but what the what. I'll do one more retro song. I hope megaupload works.
This song freaked the hell out of me when I first heard it when I was about 19. I swear I thought the woman singing it couldn't be human. It still makes me feel strange even after all these years. It's by Chris & Cosey (who've had hundreds of albums) and it's called "Trust."
Please let me know if these don't work. Thank you, and call again.

The name of the song is "Lord Gregory," and it's by a Scottish man named Alisdair Roberts. I'd never heard of him before, but he's worked with a lot of bands I like.
This band, Sunny So Brite, I've linked to before, but I'm almost entirely sure I posted a different song. This is an Alabama band, and unlike a lot of Alabama bands, I can actually say I like this one :) The song "Big Empty Space" is the one I think people should listen to.
Online I found a tribute EP of songs from John Hughes movies. I don't think anyone would be surprised to learn that I worship John Hughes movies from the eighties. Farmer Ted, Long Duck Dong, Bender, and of course DUCKIE!!! (I love you Duckie. I'll go to the prom with you.) Anyway, the cd is actually from the late nineties, but the style of the music is the same as the music I listen to now. They're in WMA form. I nearly had a stroke trying to convert them into MP3 form using Musicmatch. Musicmatch is on my shitlist. Very much so. By the by, I'm using this site Ive never used before. If it adds any spyware to
you computer (or if you experience any negative effects), please let me know and I'll stop using it.
I don't like all the versions of the songs, but I really like two of them:
Ciao Bella,"If You Were Here"
and Ninety-and-Nine, "Bring On The Dancing Horses" Also please tell me if these don't work.
I like this song alot. I've been meaning to post it forever, but I just haven't yet. It's by a band called Mobius, and it's called "Starts With A Bang." You can download it from their site. Click on music, and choose the record City Vs. Country. Awesome song.
I've technically reached my five songs, but what the what. I'll do one more retro song. I hope megaupload works.
This song freaked the hell out of me when I first heard it when I was about 19. I swear I thought the woman singing it couldn't be human. It still makes me feel strange even after all these years. It's by Chris & Cosey (who've had hundreds of albums) and it's called "Trust."
Please let me know if these don't work. Thank you, and call again.

I really like the song that pops up when you go to Lali Puna's website. I'm not sure what the name of it is. They have a video for another song, but I'm afraid I don't like that song too much (as inevitably happens with any band.)
In other news, I downloaded about 100 songs today. I already know what I'm going to put for the five songs, update though. I'm gonna have such a computer hangover :)
