I like American Music

Alright everyone, before I start the post, I'd just like to state that I'm really tired right now(I just ran into a tree, and now I'm suffering severely... don't ask) . Therefore, what would be tonight's lengthy post is going to replaced by what I was originally planning to do next Sunday. I think it'll have the same effect though. If you haven't guessed already, it's time for the Back To School Mixtape.

I Am Gonna Make It Through This Year, If It Kills Me; A Back To School Mixtape Pt. 1

This Year - The Mountain Goats

The Coolest Kid In School - The Teeth

1921 - The Who

American Music - Violent Femmes

Returning To The Fold - The Thermals

Teachers - Leonard Cohen

That's all for today, Pt.2 comes tomorrow.

Til' Next Week

Those who love Zeppelin will soon betray Floyd, I pass off these couplets in honor of the void.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another fantastic Tuesday evening, here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. Today is not like any other Tuesday, though, it is a rather special Tuesday. For those of you who don't reside in the same country as I, which is probably a good number of you, you may not be aware that today is a holiday. Alas, today is Canada Day! So, I figured I would do what this blog generally does for holidays, no matter how big or small, and post a couple tracks that will aid you in your celebrations.

I Refuse To Put The Word Eh! In This Mix Title; A Canada Day Mix

Skinny Boy - Amy Milan

Crown of Love - The Arcade Fire

KC Accidental (Live) - Broken Social Scene

You Remind Me of Home

I am home, I am home, I am home. Welcome to today's Wednesday edition of Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. I have a couple orders of business to attend to before I get to the actual music, so hold tight. First of all, I'd like to thank Joseph for his excellent job taking care of posting while I was away on my four day graduation trip. He will continue (if he wishes) to be a regular contributor to this blog. Second, there will be two posts today (one in the morning; one in the evening) seeing as I did not find the time yesterday night to write a post. So, consider this to be yesterdays post. Well, that's about it for that, so prepare yourself for today's Random Wednesday Mixtape.

Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice Mixtape; You Remind Me of Home

To Go Home - M.Ward (Daniel Johnston cover)

This is one of my favorite Daniel Johnston songs and, coincidentally, it is also one of my favorite M.Ward songs. A beautiful ode to ... going home?

Slow Pony Home - The Weepies

This an absolutely beautiful song from an absolutely beautiful band.

You Remind Me of Home - Ben Gibbard

This track was released on a split EP put out by two of my favorite songwriters, Ben Gibbard (of Death Cab For Cutie fame) and Andrew Kenny (of American Analog Set fame)

Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On - Leonard Cohen

The up-beat, phased out music, accompanied by an exciting saxophone, sets the stage for this tale of a boy following in his fathers scheming ways. I laugh out loud every time I see the title of this song.

and the grand finale ...

Bring the Boys Back Home - Pink Floyd

This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. It starts of with a marching beat and then a crowd of people gloriously shouting the lyrics to Bring the Boys Back Home, filled with bravado. It fades quickly to many sounds from the albums, such as the manager, the groupie and manic laughter. A perfect lead-in to Comfortably Numb.

So, I hope everyone enjoyed this mornings post, remember to check back this evening. It's good to be home.
