The speakers are blown but the pen on the desk keeps on shaking

Hello, and welcome to another Random Wednesday on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. I'll give you a moment to mentally prepare yourself for the upcoming tidal wave of really good music, that comes without theme or particular order. So, enjoy today's Random Wednesday and remember to leave a comment if you enjoy a track.

Come Home Baby Julie, Come Home - American Analog Set

I know, I know, I know I post an obscene amount of American Analog Set on here, but what can you expect? They ARE one of my favorite bands. Anyways, this song is up here as an ode to my very good friend Julie Morand, who is celebrating her 16th birthday on this very day. Happy Birthday Julie!

Ghosts Are Good Company [Park Drive Outtake] - Bishop Allen

This song is, basically, as honest as honest gets. I'm talking Jim Carrey wasn't even this honest in Liar, Liar.

"I can't do this, I can't do that
I can't believe I got so fat
At least ghosts are good company
I can't believe it is so cold
I should get up before I get old
And then I'll change my ways
Before my ways change me

I was afraid
Afraid of the emptiness
Afraid of the silence
Afraid of my ghosts
Now they're here
We can share laughter
Talk about old times
It's not so bad"

Do you see what I mean? Plus, the ridiculous voice that repeats the lines at the end always makes me laugh as well.

A Phone That Rings For Free - BOAT

I really, really, love BOAT. I own both of their albums and I consistently listen to them. What I'm trying to get at is, I want you to love them as well.

Satan Said Dance - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

The frantic opening piano, the buzzes and blips, the odd-job vocals, and, course, the repeating of "Satan, Satan, Satan." My mother has actually stood in my door while this song played, frowning menacingly, and told me to turn my Satan music off.

and now, for the 60's, 70's, 80's portion that I forgot to post yesterday

You know what, I really don't feel like it.

Enjoy.
