But did you ever, ever notice the kind of thoughts I got?

Mid Week Mini Music Mix this is fact
It's all title tracks for this week. I've always found title tracks intriguing and I try to figure out how and why they set the tone for a whole album. I usually don't even come close to an answering, but it's fun to think about.

Title Track - Death Cab For Cutie - Not literally a title track, but I couldn't resist. Old Death Cab lyrics are the shiz.

I See a Darkness - Bonnie Prince Billy Beautiful, beautiful. He sings about the things inside that haunt us all.

the ghost types - bridges and powerlines I got this album last week on a complete whim. I know nothing about this band but I know I can't stop listening to this album. It's sweetly cheery but with a trace of longing running throughout.

Black Pear Tree - The Mountain Goats & Kaki King I absolutely love this first song off of this EP. Kaki King's voice sounds vulnerable and lovely and it's got that spare Mountain Goats sadness very reminiscent of the songs off of Get Lonely. My favorite line: I saw the future in a dream last night. Somebody’s gonna get hurt, somebody’s gonna get hurt. I hope it’s not me. But I suspect it’s going to have to be.

Lyric of the Week

  • Elbow - Song: Newborn

    Song: Newborn
    Elbow: Asleep in the Back

    I'll be the corpse in your bathtub,
    Useless.
    I'll be as deaf as a post
    If you hold me like a newborn.
    Whisper what you feel.

    My badly strung declaration
    To you.
    You'll spend the end of your days
    Gently smiling like a newborn.

    Love not by degrees.

Soundtrack of My Life
