The rosary beads count to, "1, 2, 3," fell apart as they hit the floor.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Loves!

Even if you put something that is VERY microwave-unsafe inside a VERY microwave-safe container, the object still remains microwave-unsafe. If you try this, it'll result in a big fire. I now know that.

The teachers who taught me weren't cool

Hello everyone, and welcome to another incredibly HOT Thursday evening, here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. It is currently 30 degrees out right now (or approximately 88 degrees Fahrenheit, for all you Americans) and I can honestly say that my skin is basically boiling and my eyeballs resemble poached eggs. Yeah, I think that's a pretty good comparison. Alright, well, tonight's post is going to be another one of those short summer posts. The reason these posts are getting shorter, but hopefully not declining in quality, is that the summer is really starting to set in, and with the hectic activities that surround the end of the school year, and I can barely muster the energy to sit down and write a decent sized post. So, for the next little while, please bear with me, as the music will be just as fantastic as it always is. Anyways, let's get into it.

Band of the Week: Fionn Regan

As you can see, the Band of the Week is Fionn Regan. A bit of information about Mr.Regan? Sure! Fionn Regan is a poet, artist and singer/songwriter from Bray, Ireland. He recently (July 2007) released his debut album, The End Of History, in America. Apart from this album, Mr.Regan has only released three EP's, so he is a relative newcomer on the music scene. His music is generally acoustic, and mostly focuses on Fionn's masterful finger-picking, beautiful lyrics, and wonderful voice, which reminds me of a young Neil Young.

So, enjoy a couple tracks from Fionn Regan's debut album, The End Of History, and a live cover.

The Underwood Typewriter - Fionn Regan

Getting Better (Beatles Cover) - Fionn Regan

Be Good or Be Gone - Fionn Regan

So, enjoy the beautiful weather.

Til' Tomorrow

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.

Enjoy
