When you fall apart...

Lindbergh Palace - West Coast

When you wake and scream
from the west coast dream
nothing can redeem an empty heart... 

I Don't Have Anyone But You...

Bored

As the dusk descends and my inspiration fails...

The Weakerthans have long been among my favorite bands, so it should come as no surprise that I absolutely adore Samson's solo work as well.  He has such a wonderful gift for instilling a haunting beauty in his songs...

John K. Samson - Heart of the Continent

Make yourself go cold, regain control

Spearmint - Start Again

I only wish you could see yourself
just for once, through my eyes...

Self Explanatory

You've disappointed me and you have let me down

The Jealous Sound - Your Eyes Were Shining

And the love that you need
is the love that you find
even though it's not me...
even though it's not mine... 

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?

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..."
