The hand of your lover is made of clay

Well, Random Music days are usually not tough posts to write, as I just pull songs off my itunes and write about them like delicate muses. Today though, while walking my dog, I felt I was fully embracing the new found springtime, so I thought that today I'd post a couple songs that were based around the idea of change, spring and the sun. So, be entertained this incredibly corny mix of songs and if you enjoyed a particular song, please feel free to let me know in the comment section.

Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice (Mini) Mixtape #2: Shit that has to do with spring

Green Green Grass (Demo) - American Analog Set
I swear, I'll stop posting American Analog Set for a while!

Green Grass - Tom Waits
When most people think of Tom Waits, they don't think of spring. I, on the other hand, beg to differ.

New Slang - The Shins
The Shins are my bouncing around the park band, my long car ride with the windows open band (Did I actually write this? Answer: Sadly, yes.) and if weren't for fucking Natalie Portman I wouldn't have anybody rolling their eyes for me having posted this song.

A New Name For Everything - The Weakerthans
John K. Samson (the front man of the Weakerthans) is one of my favorite Canadian poets, actually scratch that, one of my favorite poets period, and a damn fine musician as well. The Weakerthans are a band that puts out consistently great material and tour extensively to boot. I highly recommend buying their entire discography right at this very moment.

Here Comes The Sun/The Inner Light [Transition] - The Beatles
Yeah, I posted it. What're you going to do about it?

Forecast Fascist Future - Of Montreal
Why? Why not.

Hey!? That wasn't much of a Mixtape.

Enjoy
