Aubs

This was parading through my head when I woke up this morning.

Two songs that make my day at work when they come on the muzak. I don't know why, but no matter how stressful things are at that moment, the second I hear the first couple of notes, everything is swell again. I say "I don't know why" because the lyrics aren't necessarily the cheeriest.

You will always be able to hear me aisles away singing along.

Ben Folds - Landed

( Lyrics )

This one I'm certain I've posted many times in many places:

Death Cab for Cutie - Soul Meets Body

( lyrics )

Honorable mentions:

Keane - Somewhere Only We Know
Keane - Everybody's Changing

Everytime I hear this song, I smile as I think of this video:



Even though I cannot handle repetitive music.

Glen is adorable.

And still one of my favoritest musicians.

This song went through my head lots when I was going through dark times in Phoenix.

( lyrics, of course )

Jacob was the bass player that filled in for my old band (was Electric Doormat, now Mercury Tree) while James was away for awhile. Such a sweet person, and only 17.

Click on the flyer for details.

I would really like to go to this, so if anyone in my neighborhood is interested, I can pay for your tickets, should you provide me with a ride.

Much love,

Me.

I was going to post a video of Ben Folds Five's "Army" as that flipping song has gone through my head all night. BUT - in looking on the interwebs for something suitable to post, I came across this, which is from someone that perfectly lined up the video for OK Go's "Here It Goes Again" to BFF's "Army".



But I was really looking for this, which is one of the songs from the MySpace gig. I watched a ton of these when miss crushdmb posted them in her journal. It was the sheer joy and wonder on his face and body language of excitement that he displayed during the "horn section" part that made me really sit up and take notice of Ben. faetal had tried to get me into him ages before, but it never clicked until I saw how he was live.

Now I'm addicted.

Flying High Again...



( Got me thinking 'bout the rest of my post )

I believe I got each album, yes? Most recent to most ancient, no? All the way back to... '91 mayhaps? Possibly '93. Either way, I'm going grey at almost as rapid a rate as THEY are.

Oy.

This totally combines two of the things that I have fallen in love with on a major scale lately: Ben Folds + Death Cab (okay, it's a stretch, as it's really Postal Service, but work with me here.)

MUCH LOVE.

Notice the shirt or jacket or whatnot stuffed inside the piano to give it that fantawesome sound.

( lyrics, per usual )

This song seems to play lots when I'm back at my desk and all by my lonesome. I heart it.

( Love-lee lyrics )

This is one of those songs that I didn't care much for until I heard the acoustic version of:



( Oh so sweet lyrics )

This song has been going through my head for days now, though not the live version, especially the "franklin fucking mint" part. I tossed a ton of Ben Folds Five onto my mp3 player and have been force feeding them down my coworkers throats :D

( one final unattractive school photo post of jess and i )

i wasn't aware that this was even in existence, so imagine my surprise when i came across it at the bottom of my unicorn trunk, under my baby blanket. i love how old it looks.

( clickeyteeclick )

and it also shows the beginning of a long life of everyone misspelling my name. sigh.

( from before i was a twinkle in my daddy's pants )

opened a deviant art thingie, though i'm extremely clumsy around the site and feel quite inferior to most of the mind blowing art there. wow. and me with my $40 camera.

( i would hope you know what to do here. )

- i never wear matching socks. almost never.
- the picture of the algebra book and coffee was taken the last day of school over the summer. at the time, my entire school future teetered on those two important things.
- semis have a lot of buttons.

( stuff! click me! now! )

the lilac hanging dried on my wall.... i was going through a period where i was especially hating the human race and was having a bad day in general. as i rounded the corner to go to the bus stop to go to school, an old Russian woman who spoke almost no english shuffled up to me and handed me the bouquet, grinning from ear to ear and saying 'GOD BLESS YOU!' i stuffed the end of the lilacs in my knit purse and walked around like a grinning flower child the rest of the day and hung the flowers to dry as a reminder that not all humans are evil.
