Too tired to shine, dependent on the kindness of strangers and lawyers

Grizzly Bear Performing "Two Weeks" Last Night on Later... With Jools Holland

Before this post officially stops with a blunt and pretentious introduction, I'd just like to say that Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest is officially released in two weeks (WOAH!) and the countdown has officially begun. Although the album has already leaked, my faithful ears have yet to hear anything other than Cheerleader and Two Weeks. The verdict? I'm content with throwing up every record I've ever owned. Yeah, that good.

BACK TO THE FUTURE!

Hello my lovely friends, and welcome to what seems like another harrowing evening, here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. After what could only have been 24 hours of writing about the idiosyncrasies of Mercutio, in comparison with Romeo (granted, it was only an hour), I'm finally prepared to retire and unleash upon the world the mighty power of the Mother's Day Mixtape. Lock up your mothers, ladies, this one's a little intense...

15 Years Of Torment & Bio-hazardous Threats To My Life Haven't Made Me Hate You Yet;
An Official Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Mother's Day Mixtape!

Warning: This mixtape contains extremely bitchin'... I mean explicit content. So, for fucks sake, don't show it to your mom.
Warning: If your mother has a sense of humor, or has lost her hearing aid, you can probably disregard that last message. Also, immigrant parents who haven't yet learned English apply as well.

01 Her Majesty - The Beatles (For my second mother, Kaitlyn)
02 Your Mother Loves You, Son - Beulah
03 Mother & Child Reunion (Paul Simon Cover) - Grizzly Bear
04 Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, & Wives - Voxtrot
05 Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth - Neko Case
06 Mother - Pink Floyd (For Daniella)
07 We Share Our Mother's Health - The Knife (For Kacper, the one I'd never bring home to my mother...)
08 It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - Bob Dylan
What's that?! Did you hear a bonus track? I thought so!
09 Bitches Ain't Shit - Dr. Dre (Because whenever the topic of women comes up in front of my mother, these words basically escape her lips)

So, share the love with your creators today, and look forward to a post tomorrow. Or don't, because apparently, I'm not so good with these promise things.

Love, love, love, letters, lobotomy, legume, love.

I don't love you to death, but I'd die if you left

Hello everyone and welcome to another wonderful Tuesday evening here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. As some of you are bound to have noticed, the schedule has indeed undergone some incredibly drastic changes (I can't say I didn't worn you). I've been feeling very stifled, in terms of creativity, lately, so I decided to get rid of a majority of the schedule. All that's left is the Thursday = Band of the Week; Friday = Song of the Week; and Saturday = Album of the Week format. So, I hope you enjoy the very free schedule, and I hope it aids you on your long quest to musical enlightenment (that's why you're here, isn't it?)

Anyways, today's feature is two wonderful songs by Beulah and Charles Manson (Yes, it's the same Charles Manson you're thinking of). So, sit back and enjoy today's post.

Our first feature today is the song Night Is The Day Turned Inside Out by Beulah. Here's a bit about the band: Beulah is a rock band, formed in 1996, in San Francisco, CA. The band was started by Miles Kurosky and Bill Swan and the pair released their first single on the famous Elephant 6 records (after being discovered by The Apples In Stereo frontman Robert Schneider). Although they did not release anything else on the Elephant 6 label, they still have very close ties. This song is from their 2001 album The Coast Is Never Clear.

The last feature today is the song Angels Fear To Tread, by the infamous (I mean REALLY infamous) Charles Manson. Alright, before I continue, I'd like to let everyone know that the rest of this paragraph is going to be about Charles Manson, the musician, not the sociopath. Let's continue: This track was released on Mr.Manson's new album, entitled One Mind. After giving it a very thorough listen, I've concluded that this song sounds like a drunk and very skill-less (guitar wise) Hank Williams, mixed with Jim Morrison (who coincidentally was drunk and skill-less guitar wise.). The whole album is a mediocre (if not good) low-fi album, considering the conditions under which it was made (Prison!). I don't think I need to include any artist information, as Mr.Manson is already very well known. An interesting point, though, is that Charles decided to release this album under Creative Commons. If you don't know what Creative Commons is, click here.
