See the jackknife inside of the dream

Today, I'm feeling a bit rebellious, so I'm going to stray from my very rarely followed schedule and do something a bit different today. I'd like to play a game (it has nothing to do with the Saw movies) in which I post three mp3s from three bands who all have something in common, and you guys can guess what that is in the comment box. Alright? Alright. By the way, you'll have no information, you must only listen to the track. No cheating. Good Luck.

SONIC YOUTH

Eric's Trip

Total Trash

Hey Joni

DINOSAUR JR

Freak Scene

Gargoyle

Forget The Swan

THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN

Just Like Honey

Never Understand

Somethings' Wrong

and Marvin Gayes "Let's Get It On." Just to throw you off.


Again, good luck and . . .

Ripples Spread On The Ceiling; A Sunday Mixtape

Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a wonderful, lazy Sunday. The sky is still gray over here, but the weather is getting slightly warmer, just in time for April, and I'm content with that. I thought I'd treat all my readers today with a little more music then typing. Now, I've seen this Sunday Mixtape thing done by many people, so I thought I'd give it a shot myself. So, enjoy this collection of lazy songs, hopefully, they'll compliment your day very well.

Sunday Morning - The Velvet Underground (Off The Velvet Underground & Nico 1967)

You probably could've guessed that this song was going to be on here.

Late One Sunday - American Analog Set (Off Late One Sunday & The Following Morning 1997)

13 minutes and 13 seconds of pure blissful soundscape via American Analog Set

Autumn's Here - Norman Nehmetallah (Off Sophia's Dream Bonus Disc 2008)

A early, fuzz-filled cover of a Hawsley Workman song.

Once Upon A Time - Air (Off Pocket Symphony 2007)

Ah, Air.

Eastern Glow - The Album Leaf (Off In A Safe Place 2004)

I'm getting lazy with these little descriptions.

Snowy Atlas Mountain - Fionn Regan (Off The End Of History 2006)

This song actually makes you feel like you're on a snowy atlas mountain.

The Abomination - Art In Manila (Off Set The Woods On Fire 2007)

I don't even know why I put this on here.

The Funeral - Band Of Horses (Off Everything All The Time 2006)

I'm starting to notice a trend in quite a bit of Band Of Horses songs. What is this trend? They all sound exactly the same! Do I mind? Not one bit.

Lay Lady Lay - Bob Dylan (Off Nashville Skyline 1969)

Lay across my big brass bed.

Lake Michigan - Rogue Wave (Off Asleep At Heaven's Gate 2007)

I first heard Rogue Wave while watching Heroes. Does this help you understand anything about the band? No, it does not, but I just thought that I should mention

Not Even Jail - Interpol (Off Antics 2004)

"Oh, but hold it still, darling, see your hair's so pretty
Can't you feel the warmth of my sincerity?
You make motion when you cry
You're making peoples lives feel less private"

How do they come up with this stuff?

and the grand finale ...

Chicago (Acoustic) - Sufjan Stevens (Off The Avalanche 2006)

No explanation is really needed for me putting this on here.

If You're Feeling Like The Aeroplane Over The Sea

Today is the start of something new, a revolution of sorts. Well, alright, I may be acting a tad dramatic, but today is the start of a rather prominent vicissitude in the Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice schedule. Instead of the scheduled Saturday B-Sides & Rarities post, every Saturday will be a post about two of my favorite albums of all time (If you know me, you know that I have an unprecedented amount of favorite albums). Now, this should come as no surprise, as I warned you that schedules don't mean much to me, and this blog will be ever evolving. Now, let's get started with this event, which is surely as historic as the Epic First Post.

My two favorite albums for this week (and these are so cliché that even I cringed) are In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel, and If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian. Here's a little bit about both those albums;

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Quite possibly my favorite record of all time, this album was actually given a perfect 10 by the assholes at Pitchfork. It is a beautiful album inspired by the Diary Of Anne Frank. I could quite honestly go on for a couple more pages, ranting and raving about this album but you can't even begin to grasp what it means without listening to it first. So without further ado ...

Two Headed Boy - Neutral Milk Hotel

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel

Communist Daughter - Neutral Milk Hotel

King of Carrot Flowers Pt.1 - Neutral Milk Hotel

If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle & Sebastian's tour de force, in my opinion, is If You're Feeling Sinister. This collection of songs is definitely Stuart Murdoch's finest songwriting achievement, and it was the album that showcased Belle & Sebastian's literate, delicate pop music to an American audience for the first time. This is an album I could also rave about for pages, but not unlike In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, you won't really understand what I'm saying without listening. Here's the title track;

If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle & Sebastian

I highly suggest getting your hands on a copy of these albums, if you don't already have them, that is.

I Want to Marry A Lighthouse Keeper

Today is Friday, and that means instrumental music on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. The feature today is a couple tracks from the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange, one of the greatest movies of all time, in this humble mans opinion. There won't be a lot of explanation, as I have to keep this post relatively short. So, here's four tracks from the movie, including Edward Elgar (at the incessant suggestions from my cousin Joseph) and some Wendy Carlos the very talented composer, and pioneer of electronic music, behind the soundtrack.

Suicide Scherzo (Ninth Symphony, Second Movement, Abridged) - Wendy Carlos

Elgar: March #4, "Pomp & Circumstance" - (Abridged) - Edward Elgar

William Tell Overture (Abridged) - Wendy Carlos

Theme From A Clockwork Orange (Beethoviana) - Wendy Carlos

Enjoy

Wherever I have gone, the blues are all the same

Today, on your daily source of enriching musical information, I present to you one of my favorite songs, Blues Run the Game. It was written by the Late Jackson C. Frank and has been covered many times by a dazzling array of artists, as you'll soon experience. First, though, a bit about Mr. Frank;

At the tender age of 11 years old, Jackson C. Frank was hospitalized by a furnace explosion beneath his classroom, which killed 15 students. During his hospitalization, he was introduced to the acoustic guitar and took it up immediately. At the age of 21, he was given a $100,000 insurance check which was more than enough to catch a boat to England (Damn Wikipedia!)

Soon after this, he recorded his debut album with Paul Simon as a producer. The album spawned some great tracks, such as Blues Run the Game. Proceeding this though, the not-so fecund Frank suffered from writers block and was broke like a bad joke (somebody's uncle told, at a wedding reception in 1972) , so he moved back to the US. Unfortunately, fortunes were consistently low for Mr.Frank and he died of pneumonia and cardiac arrest in Great Barrington, Massachusetts on March 3rd, 1999, at the age of fifty-six.

Here's the track Blues Run The Game and about 50,000 different covers of it.

Blues Run The Game - Jackson C. Frank

Blues Run The Game - Nick Drake

Blues Run The Game - Simon and Garfunkel

Blues Run The Game - The Counting Crows

Blues Run The Game - Colin Meloy

Blues Run The Game - Sandy Denny

Blues Run The Game - Bert Jansch

See if you can guess which version is my favorite.

And for the band of the week ...

The recherché, the sterling Okkervil River!

No explanation needed

Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe - Okkervil River

The President's Dead - Okkervil River

Enjoy

We are the custard pie appreciation consortium

Ah, well, today I'm feeling rather lazy and seeing as it IS Random Music Day on Looks Like Coffee Tastes Like Juice, I'm going to just post a couple songs that were stuck in my head today.

Village Green Preservation Society- The Kinks

This song seems to be stuck in my head everyday

Painter In Your Pocket - Destroyer

I used to walk to school every single day last year, and I would basically shout along with this song. Needless to say, both the kids whom I was walking with now know this song by heart.

Money, That's What I Want (With Robert Plant) - Pearl Jam

Whenever this song seems to casually appear in my life, I go into what seems to be an inane laughing fit. This is because of the movie Empire Records. When Joe finds out Lucas stole the money, Gina puts the Flying Lizard version of this song on and everyone dances to it. If you don't know what I'm talking about in the previous line, get the hell off my blog. Damn the man! Save the empire!

Jodi - The Dodos

"You give us bread, you keep us warm What I do for you in turn I leave you with this memory stained Between the sheets, under the rain Your face is pale, your lips are red Your eyes are dark, you might be dead But I will hold you even then Until you breathe and I am fed"

Enjoy

I was 21 years when I wrote this song, I'm 22 now but I won't be for long

Welcome to the 60's,70's,80's post on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. Today I will be posting 9 songs from the 60's,70's and, you guessed it, 80's. I'll also give you some information on these artists/songs, so sit back and enjoy.

SWLABR - Cream (1967)

She Walks like A Bearded Rainbow, or
She Was Like A Bearded Rainbow, or ... whatever.
It makes absolutely no sense, but I don't actually know any of the men in Cream, so it might. It is an incredible song, none the less.

Bold As Love - The Jimi Hendrix Experience (1967)

One of my favorite Experience songs, this one is a bit more relaxed then previous Jimi Hendrix efforts. Featuring prominent guitar work by the one and only Hendrix, this track makes for good listening when you get sick of Purple Haze and Hey Joe.

White Light/White Heat - The Velvet Underground (1968)

Classic Velvet Underground. Every time I hear this song, I imagine Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Almost Famous screeching, "Gimme a little White Light White Heatttttt."

Friend Of The Devil - The Grateful Dead (1970)

Sure, the Grateful Dead were a good band, but they are MUCH too over-hyped, over-played and over-credited. American Beauty was a phenomenal album, but really, what else was there? Not much. This song is my all-time favorite Grateful Dead song.

Bang A Gong (Get It On) - T Rex (1971)

In England, this was called "Get It On (Bang A Gong)." The title was changed on the American release so it would be less offensive.

New England - Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers (1976)

I have seen old Israels arid plain, it's magnificent but so's Maine. Oh, Mr.Richman, gets me every time.

A New England - Billy Bragg (1983)

With an incredibly similar title to the song above, the song is as different as possible. Consisting of just Mr.Bragg and a clean electric guitar, this song might have just been written for MSN Names, Screen names and various blog titles. Allow me to demonstrate:

"I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty two now, but I wont be for long"


"I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal,
They put you on the pill"

"I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can't survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend"

"I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care"

MAN, I think I proved my point.

The Fletched Memorial Home - Pink Floyd (1983)

This entire album was basically Roger Waters, as the members of Pink Floyd were just about broken up by The Final Cut, their final album. It still boasts some pretty stellar songs, and this is a prime example of that. Featuring a classic David Gilmore guitar solo.

Add It Up - Violent Femmes (1983)

How many teenagers lost it to this song in the eighties?

Well, that's it for today.

Enjoy

Ghosts Of The Great Highway ; The Sun Kil Moon Story

I only heard about Sun Kil Moon about 6 months ago, as my brother asked me to teach him to play Pancho Villa on the guitar. Needless to say, due to my brother’s severe lack of skills, this never happened. However I did do a little research and got a copy of Ghosts of the Great Highway. You probably can guess how much I adore that album and now, it is that time again; the time for quiet guitars, loud guitars, and sloppy drums. A tender voice that sneaks up behind you seems to grab at you during the most unexpected times, long after the needle has been lifted and the record has stopped spinning[Wow, I'm just reading this line over twice and I feel like an idiot for writing that] . This is undoubtedly true, as my friends have all witnessed the sheer terror of me bursting out in song at the quietest moments of the day. "SALVADOR SANCHEZZZZ," the words still ring clear in my brain even if it's been months since I've heard the song. My brother Jon also contributes to my addiction to that song, as he walks around in his underwear most days shouting lines from the song as he passes my room.

April 1st, which is next Tuesday, marks the third album release by Sun Kil Moon. I've already listened to the album, because I like to steal things, which is aptly titled April. It does just as well a job of displaying the turbulent lyrics, full of turmoil, and catchy guitar riffs that Mark Kozelek has to offer as Ghosts of The Great Highway (Released in 2003). The album does not boast to offer more or less than it actually does; a down-tempo acoustic/electric album with superb songwriting. There are no surprises here, no jazz cafe piano tracks, no punk rock epics, just Sun Kil Moon, doing what Sun Kil Moon does best.

I'll let you guys judge for yourself though. Here are a couple tracks from the album, these ones are my favorite.

Tonight In Bilbao

Harper Road

Tonight The Sky

Enjoy

By the way, to whoever reads MP3This, I told Thom I was writing this, but I had to babysit. He thinks it's cool to steal from me. I still love him though.

Happy Birthday, Mr.President

Good morning everyone! The reason I say good morning is because it is nine in the morning. Why, you ask, am I posting at nine in the morning, when I could very well be... sleeping? The reason is, it's almost time for my biannual church appearance. Now, that's out of the way, it is a very special day today. My sisters birthday.

Today, 16 years ago in the middle of a winter storm, a child was born who, one day, would have the pleasure of being my sibling. As a bonus, on Friday the 21st 15 years ago, a child was born who, one day, would have the pleasure of being my best friend.

This is a special post dedicated to both of them, as they will each have one of their favorite songs posted, so that you may have a chance to delve deep into the minds of these wonderful woman.

Natasha

The Road In Between - Ron Leary

Tessa

Delicate- Damien Rice

AND

as a bonus, a Smiths song, to demonstrate how some of us are going to be feeling this Easter.

The Boy With The Thorn In His Side - The Smiths

Enjoy

That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself.

It's Saturday and here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice that means it's time for the weekly B-Sides & Rarities post. Today we'll feature some Johnny Cash & Elliott Smith, whom we all know is my go-to man for B-sides and Rarities.

Figure 8 - Elliott Smith

I don't know about anybody else, but I grew up watching Schoolhouse Rock. Actually, they forced that on us in early grade school and I'm not going to lie, I ate it up. Elliott Smith makes this delicate, twinkly Schoolhouse Rock song, which I must say is one of their eeriest, into ... well... a delicate, twinkly, eerie song. It's enjoyable, none the less.

Miss Misery (Early Piano Version) - Elliott Smith

The song Miss Misery basically brought Elliott Smith to the attention of a magnitude of people. It was featured on the soundtrack to Gus Van Sant's (A fellow Portland-er) film Good Will Hunting. Good Will Hunting, along with being one of my favorite movies has a rather...kick ass soundtrack;

1. "Between the Bars" (Orchestral) - by Elliott Smith
2. "As the Rain" - by Jeb Loy Nichols
3. "Angeles" - by Elliott Smith
4. "No Name #3" - by Elliott Smith
5. "Fisherman's Blues" - by The Waterboys
6. "Why Do I Lie?" - by Luscious Jackson
7. "Will Hunting (Main Titles)" - by Danny Elfman & Steve Bartek
8. "Between the Bars" - by Elliott Smith
9. "Say Yes" - by Elliott Smith
10. "Baker Street" - by Gerry Rafferty
11. "Somebody's Baby" - by Andru Donalds
12. "Boys Better" - by The Dandy Warhols
13. "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" - by Al Green
14. "Miss Misery" - by Elliott Smith
15. "Weepy Donuts" - by Danny Elfman & Steve Bartek

Here I offer you an early piano version of that song.

Down There By The Train - Johnny Cash

This Tom Waits song was written specifically for Mr.Cash, but was later recorded by Tom Waits on his Orphans, Brawlers & Bastards rarities collection. I have a copy of that three disc set, but I have NO idea where that is, so I'll just post the Johnny Cash version for now.

By the way, tomorrow is my sister Natasha's birthday; and my best friend Tessa's birthday was on Friday. Therefore, I figured I'd have a joint birthday post for them tomorrow.

Enjoy

BONUS TRACK: My brother gave me this CD quite a while ago and I really just disregarded it until the other night. After giving it a listen, I liked what I heard but I wasn't really impressed. The tracks were too long and after a minute or two became unappealing. Then I stumbled upon this track near the middle of the album. It is short and sweet; repetitive yet each time you hear the one line of the song, it feels as fresh as the first time.

China Doll - Goldenboy

Remind you of anybody?

The Argument

I've been in this argument many times before and my position has always been a neutral one. I don't particularly think that either band is the greatest in the world because I don't believe that there is a greatest band in the world. Sure, there are many great bands, but I'd never strand myself on a desert island with just one album. Well, maybe In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. The point is, I don't think that you can classify one band as the greatest because there are so many different styles, genres and eras that influence bands to make them great. Now, I'd like to know what you guys think. Which one of these bands is the greatest, or even just better than other? Let me know in the comment box.


The Who

Pinball Wizard

Sally Simpson

The Beatles

I'll Be Back

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

Happy Arguing!

Welcome, Ghosts

Welcome, ghosts, to the first instrumental Friday on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. Today will feature three different instrumental tracks by three different bands. The first is Welcome, Ghosts by Explosions In The Sky. It is a brilliant track, with three different guitarists and a drummer all weaving in and out of each others intricate melodies. It is definitely a tracks that makes me cringe a bit when the last fifty seconds start and distortion starts to kick in. I figure that if I was falling off something very high for 5 minutes and 44 seconds, I could probably write this song afterwards. Enjoy. [I'm very proud of myself for only using the word intricate once; and never using the words profound and exquisite. I've read reviews for Explosions in The Sky and the whole review is littered those words, and other variations of them.]

Welcome Ghosts - Explosions In The Sky

This track is pretty stunning. It's pretty much everywhere musically but always moving in a forward progression. Starting with just solitary guitars and minimalist drums it breaks down slightly and then evolves into a layered showcase of Do Make Say Thinks ability to evoke stunning images into your brain. Also, the bass part at about 2:31 is pretty damn sweet.

Herstory of Glory - Do Make Say Think

Yeah, I DO think I'm clever and witty putting an A capella track in the instrumental post.

Rebellion (Lies) (Arcade Fire Cover) - Indie Blockedappella



Enjoy

And you were like a walking compliment

Today is officially Blues Day + Band Of The Week on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. I have a wonderful love affair with the blues, especially the early blues dating back some 60+ years ago. Most of the stuff you'll find on these Blues Thursdays will be low-fi blues recordings from the Mississippi Delta. Today's offering;

The Banker Blues - Big Bill Broonzy

Country Blues - Muddy Waters

Dyin' Crapshooters Blues (Blind Willie McTell) - Jack White
(Credit To Licorice Pizza)

Casino Blues (Live) - Ben Gibbard

Casino Blues was originally going to be put on the new Death Cab For Cutie album, but as I sit here staring at the track listing, I can't seem to find the song anywhere. Well, I think it's a mighty fine song! Narrow Stairs is set for a May 13th release and you can expect a review on here the day it comes out, or maybe a day sooner if we're lucky. If you'd like to hear the first single from the album "I Will Possess Your Heart" you can find it at the second best blog from Windsor here.

And now, time for the highly anticipated (but not really) Band Of The Week. Every week I'll be posting two tracks from one of my favorite bands! None of these bands will be new, some may be quite old. If you're looking for new music, you'll find this on other days of the week.

Band Of The Week: American Analog Set

American Analog Set was formed in Ft. Worth, TX in 1995 but soon relocated to Austin, TX after their first album, The Fun Of Watching Fireworks. Did I mention that they are one of my favorite bands? It just so happens that Aaron & Maria is the most played song on my iTunes (354 times). I'll be posting two amazing tracks from their best album (In my humble opinion) Know By Heart. I hope you enjoy these tracks as much as I do. [Listener Discretion: These songs contain the fuck word, so plug your ears]

Aaron & Maria

Punk As Fuck

Besides, they're only b-sides

Hello again!
Today's post is going to be rather short, as I'm strapped for time.

The first song I'm going to post today will be the song Mykel & Carli. It's a song written for the creators of the Weezer fan club, Mykel and Carli Allan. Unfortunately, they died four years after the song was written, in a car crash with their sister. The irony is in the fact that they were driving back from a Weezer concert. I found this b-side on the Deluxe Edition of the Blue Album, which just happens to be my favorite album.

Mykel & Carli - Weezer

I really enjoyed this Big Star song when I first heard it, some two years ago. For some reason, I had the idea in my head that Elliott Smith could do an awesome cover of this song, if it weren't for his death. Then, a year later, I stumbled across this version by accident and found it ludicrously hilarious. I know, it's not that funny. It's a good cover, none the less.

Thirteen (Big Star Cover) - Elliott Smith

My sister received a Who's Greatest Hits for Christmas last year (coincidentally, I gave it to her) and has been in love with the Who ever since. I had sort of forgotten about this track, as it has been a while since I've heard Tommy, and when she purchased the album, I fell in love with it all over again. It's short and sweet and reminds me why I love Pete Townshend.

It's A Boy - The Who

Enjoy

Janie, she wakes up from a dream

Starting Friday on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice will be the start of some themed-days. I really don't know how well this will work though, because I'm not completely comfortable with surrendering myself to routine. I will try though! Anyways, here's a schedule.

Mondays - All Cover Posts
Tuesdays - 60's,70's,80's
Wednesdays - Basically, random music
Thursdays - Blues + Band of the week
Fridays - All Instrumentals
Saturdays - B-Sides + Rarities
Sundays - Basically, random music once again

That's a format that I'll try to follow, but if I get the urge to post something that completely defies that, I'll most likely just disregard the schedule.
That'll all start tomorrow, and today I'm just going to post the four most-played songs of the day (according to my iTunes)

Singing In The Rain - Gene Kelly

I am terrified by this abnormally uplifting song. Why you ask? Merely because I am a fan of A Clockwork Orange. Anybody who's seen the film will know only too well that this is the song Alex DeLarge sings as he prances around and strips the woman he is about to rape. In front of her husband. Oh, Stanley!

Baby Blue - 13th Floor Elevators

I love Bob Dylan. I don't mean fan kind of love, I'm talking unusually passionate stalker-type of love. I suppose you either love Bob Dylan like this or you hate him, though. Anyway, The 13th Floor Elevators (High Fidelity, anyone?) do a wonderful rendition of this song on their second album Easter Everywhere.

Today's Lesson - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Lonely bass is soon joined by Doors-esque keyboards. Then the Ultra-Awesome (the only way to describe Nick Cave) voice of Nick Cave joins in. Actually, this track sort of reminds me of a Doors song, besides the fact that the Bad Seeds are so much fuller sounding than The Doors. Whatever it sounds like, this is a wonderful song.

"Janie says we're all such a crush of want half-mad with loss
We are violated in our sleep and we weep and we toss and we turn and we burn
We are hypnotised we are cross-eyed we are pimped we are bitched
We are told such monstrous lies

Janie wakes up and she says
We're gonna have a real good time tonight"

- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds " Today's Lesson"

Age Of Consent - New Order

I like Joy Division, I like New Order slightly less. I have to admit though, this song hits the nail on the head for me. As soon as he strains his voices, I sort of jump in my seat (I must be in a seat for this to be true). It sounds pretty eighties and their is an awesome repetitive riff throughout the song.

Well, enjoy the tracks, remember to keep checking in everyday for new tracks and things you might not care to hear!

By the way, to all the readers who've made it too the third post, thank you very much and I appreciate your support.

Slightly Less Epic Second Post

I'm feeling awfully lightheaded this evening but that could just be the haircut. Yes, my hair looks as if it's been attacked by a suburban housewife in the middle of her lawn on a hot July day. I actually don't mind it as much as I thought I might. For those of you who don't know me, my late afro was a marvelous sight to behold, and that's why I figure this event is important enough to base a whole post full of drama and grandeur on.

As a gift to help you cope with the grief of a surely great loss, here's a couple of tracks about hair. For reasons I'm only too familiar with, people seem to have an emotional attachment to their hair and here's a couple songs that showcase that emotional attachment in full flight.

Hair - The Cowsills
http://download.yousendit.com/6D2F0D6069445624

Just a little note about this song, I found it on a 1969 AM Hits compilation album that belongs to my father. My father loves ABBA. Finding this song was a nice surprise.

Cut Your Hair - Pavement
http://download.yousendit.com/E4B879E66040198E


This is from a BBC Evening Session. I feel REALLY cliche for posting this, but this song is impossible not to like.


Cut Your Hair - All Girl Summer Fun Band
http://download.yousendit.com/1406A8784380DC5A

Wow, this was really self-absorbed. I feel like an asshole.

by the way, the songs will be download-able for 7 days. Click the links to download

The Epic First Post

Hello, this is a blog.
I know everybody has a blog, and this is especially true concerning music blogs.
So, I don't feel incredibly special. I'll tell you a little bit about myself.
I live in Windsor, Ontario and I'll be fourteen in less than a month.
I'm a person and I enjoy music.
I make music.
I think that is enough personal information to give you a sense of who I am, and keep potential stalkers to a minimum. Some things that I'll try very hard to do in this blog are;
a) Try to be as unpretentious as possible
b) Supply some great free music
c) Share some of my own music
d) Give you an advantage over all of your other musically snobby friends.
Now, I'm not going to lie to you. I have no idea how to post music yet, hopefully I will figure this out tonight.
For now though, here is a mixtape that I made earlier today.
Try and guess the theme.

Norman's Mix Tape #1
Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice

1) All you need is love - The Beatles
2)(I'm a) Donkey for your love - BOAT
3)Baby, Let me follow you down - Bob Dylan
