Rocking Horse Rodeo

So these guys are friends of mine from Boston and they have finally put out an album.  I've had the privilege of hearing a lot of these songs evolve over the years and think the whole thing came together amazingly.  You can stream the entire thing at rockinghorserodeo.net, but for your instant enjoyment and copyright infringement be damned! I give you my personal favorite song from the album... which kudos to Ben contains one of my absolute all time favorite lyrics...

Rocking Horse Rodeo - Expectations

As I fade into the background of your life
Do you still believe in me? 

Nothing sucks more than feeling all alone...
No matter how many people are around... 

-JD, Scrubs, Season 2, Episode 18

It's only hope that springs eternal...

Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness

Goodbye courage
Hello sadness again... 

Now You're Gone I'm Going Crazy...

Lindbergh Palace - Days Don't Fade

Now that we are done
the days are distant
and the nights are long... 

It takes a toll on you...

Lindbergh Palace - Scary

Now it's over and you're one day older
understanding that your heart is colder... 

And I miss you but it might just be the song...

The Airborne Toxic Event - Duet

I spent so many evenings in my head
I'd lie alone on an unmade bed
Counting the minutes like numbered clocks
Should I call, should I write, should I read, should I stop?

My Weekly Fix

Girls + Ties

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

Number One With A Bullet

...and with this adorable gif, zooey has been dethroned... she had a nice run.

Number One Point Five

After the ridiculously awesome comic themed Castle last night... Stana is so very close to bumping Zooey... plus she could probably hook me up with hanging out with Nathan Fillion.

There's nothing else I can really do at all...

The Cure - A Letter To Elise

I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
and the promises broke
the make believe ran out...

Stacey Pilgrim: "Did you really see a future with this girl?"

Scott Pilgrim: "Like.. with jetpacks?"

Stacey Pilgrim: "Time heals all wounds little brother..."

It's you that got to me...

The Appleseed Cast - A Dream For Us

If the day never comes,
I sink beneath the tide
Will you still be with me
or disappear? 

Does it end like this?

Jimmy Eat World - Dizzy

If everything I meant to you
you can lick and seal then fold in two
then I've been so blind... 

Like your favorite Heatmiser song goes...

Jimmy Eat World - Kill

Oh god, please don't tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means... 

New Jezabels

The Jezabels - Endless Summer

In my mind, you are an endless summer
You are the summer in my mind... 

Also they have an album coming out in September, which has quickly become my most anticipated release of the year.

I was incapacitated with not being able to think.
I had one thought in my head and it was of you...

-Ned, Pushing Daisies, Season 1, Episode 3 

Darling, I wish it wasn't true...

The Airborne Toxic Event - A Letter to Georgia

Afraid to love, afraid to lose,
Afraid to start, afraid to choose,
Afraid to live, afraid to die,
Afraid to let these days slip by,
Afraid to change or stay the same,
Afraid to lose yourself again,
Afraid of the truth that love...
Can cause you so much pain...

Eerily Accurate

Ra Ra Riot - Can You Tell

When I look in your eyes, I tend to lose my thoughts...
