Blogs are so passe and pretentious. Oh well, here's my blog about music that's stuck in my head when I wake up in the mornings along with adventures of the Cash family and wacky wacky crazy wacky shenanigans.
I had a horrible night last night. The anxiety was enough- the flurry of songs playing in my head didn't help. There was one in particular that wouldn't stop playing, to the point that I was ready to rip my ear drums out.
It was a long night, to say the least.
I arose with this beast playing in my head though, from the talented Santigold. The song is called "Unstoppable" which you can find on her 2008 album SANTOGOLD.
Santigold's real name is Santi White. She used to go by SantOgold. I started looking up why she changed it from SantOgold to SantIgold, but I got bored and lost interest.
Speaking of losing interest, I'm going to play this song for my ten year old (step) son and he's going to tell give you a review of this song, here you go:
so the song is called unstoppable bye sandgold i think my dad showed this to me and i was just like thinking what to do with this video it was kind of weird and creepy to me so this is what i think of the song so yeah this is my opinion of the song i am Peyton Newmon and im 10 and my birth day is June sixth 2004
The song spinning in my brain this morning comes from Scottish indie group Belle and Sebastian. They have some great songs and today's is no exception. Here's "I'm a Cuckoo" from their 2004 album DEAR CATASTROPHE WAITRESS.
This song is the second single released from this album. Lyrically it sort of details a character spinning out of control as he tries to reconcile or connect with a relationship. Take your pick.
Wow, there are lots of lyrics in this song.
What I like about this song is the way the lyrics just sort of roll, almost unstructured, as if a crazy person is blurting out a bunch of things, trying to make sense of what's bothering him, until he finally confesses "There's something wrong with me. I'm a cuckoo."
I also love the horns and just the general feel of this song. Not too bad. Not too bad indeed.
In unrelated news, I'm reading a 700 page biography about the life of Michael Jackson. Pretty much can't put the book down. I'm going to go read it again now. I'm a cuckoo.
I like that I have a blog. I don't like blogging all the time. I'm kind of dreading writing this post. So if you're expecting something amazing today, you might be more disappointed than normal.
Today's song comes from The Killers. I do like the killers. I do I do I do.
This is from their third album, "Day and Age" the song is called Neon Tiger.
Fun Facts about this song!!!!!
#1- The lyric "day and age" is in this song. Listen for it! They named the album after it you guys!
#2- According to most online forums, this song is about the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas! The neon represents the lights and excitement and enticement of the city while the tiger is the dangerous part of the city. Watch out!
#3- I like the way Brandon Flowers' voice sounds on this song- I like his voice in general. I like this song. I like this album. It's good.
Here is a picture of a Neon Tiger. I drew it myself.
