day 22:

HANDS DOWN, THE BEST PROTEIN/MEAL/ENERGY BAR I HAVE EVER HAD

day 21:

SIN FANG BOUS MYSPACE. this has all songs mentioned below and a full version of sinkership

day 21: the re-birth of march 2009 playlists

it makes sense to go back and listen to music that i was really into exactly one year ago. i'm doing it, and i'm picking up patterns. sin fang bous is on here, and i listened to them a little this fall, but not a lot. i dont know if i just got burnt out of them from the spring or if their songs are just harmonious with warm weather and sunshine that is present in spring, and when its cold and dark.. aka winter, i lose interest in the bouncy, indie sound of SFB. the first song i heard by them was "advent in eves garden." i think i was watching youth group's forever young video (also on my 3/09 playlist) and i saw the little preview box for it, and it looked cool, and i watched it, and then i watched it again, and then i showed maura because i knew she'd like it. i really only listened to that song and "catch the light," and then "clangour and flutes." blah blah blah.. who really cares. but anyways, shame on me for not branching out more/i'm glad i didn't because i like that experience of hearing a new song you really like, which is what's happening now.

BUT THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT:

this song came on and it was really good. this is the song you should listen to:

Sinkership - sin fang bous

Now that you've gone the doves in the air knock down)

You're the one why I'm vised into the sun

You're the only one

You're the one I'm a sinking ship coming down

Take the sun apart and put it back together

Down the mount so you can forget her

I'm coming down, I see eyes in the mirror

An old rhino sweeps in rolled up in flames

It's hard to sing when your pain bleeds

Nothing more will ever make me feel

Like a plastic bag full of sick again

An armed sissy, an otter with brains...

But without a heart

(Some one will carry on) (Now that we are appeased)

I need to forget some words I said yesterday

Change them away from memories

And just change them all again

Found you back here again

You say the same things

But we can't be friends

As long as you're unsung out of the blame

day 20:

Black Lips call their sound "flower punk," but that's only because they don't trust rock critics to handle the describing. "It's got a lot to do with your line of work," says Bradley, plainly. "Journalists would give us the most ridiculous titles, like 'blues country.' So we just decide to call ourselves something. It's like we're too hippie to be punk and too punk to be hippie, or something like that."

seeing the black lips live has changed everything. they are so good live, and it's not really that surprising, because their albums just give off a radiance that they would sound good live, but at the same time i'm so surprised they sounded THAT GREAT. it was probably the best concert i've ever been to. Cole hocking loogies at the ceiling and catching them in his mouth, and doing the same thing to his guitar... disgusting and somehow attractive, what? did i just say that?? what is wrong with me? why are they so great? they are so BOYS, they are the essence of "bad kids." they are a little arrogant, they are really fucking attractive, they probably smell bad, and they play really really good live music. they get into it. i like that, i like that a lot. something about them is so simple, and normal, but wild, and a little off, maybe perverted? i don't know what it is but great. i'd see them again, without a doubt. i've never left a concert more soaked in my life. my hair was probably full of sweat, beer, saliva, and god only knows what else.. but it was worth it. i only wish i had brought a camera.

"'They know this other world exists, and , when you tell them that the government can't find the money to provide them with a decent place to go to school, they don't believe it and they know that it's a choice that has been made -- a choice about how much they matter to society. They see it as a message: ' This is to tell you that you don't matter much. You are ugly to us so we crowd

"They're not sophisticated so they speak out of their hearts."

you into ugly places. You are dirty so it will not hurt to pack you into dirty places.' My son says this: 'By doing this to you, we teach you how much you are hated.' I like to listen to the things my children say. They're not sophisticated so they speak out of their hearts.'"

there is something about good music you can feel. it has a presence inside of you. it's like LOVE
