The Flaming Lips

theme song for the evening:

The Flaming Lips, "Worm Mountain"

I'm sort of lying... I'm not really listening to this much this evening (no more than usual), but I really wanted to post this video from the concert in columbia this past month.

wicked awesome.

She Keeps Bees

theme song for the evening:

She Keeps Bees, "Gimme"

ok.  I know I posted less than an hour ago.  I haven't gotten anything done since then, except find this exceptional band.  Rawr!

This is going on the stereo at home.  Loud.

Sufjan Stevens

theme song of the afternoon:

Sufjan Stevens, "You Are The Blood"

so I wish his new album was as terrific as the first five minutes as this song. but when you put off releasing a new album for 5 years after the last one was so fucking brilliant, there is bound to be some built up expectations; and this girl is a bit let down with the outcome. check out the whole new Sufjan album over here on NPR.  I do like the first song, so no hating.

too much science time.  my brain is melting.

Balam Acab

theme music for 11:19 pm tonight:

Balam Acab, "Regret Making Mistakes"

wow.  sometimes it's worth it reading Pitchfork's Best New Music (why don't I do this all the time?).  and this guy is 19.  what the hell was I doing when I was 19?  failing chemistry?  shit.

The Kills

theme song this afternoon:

The Kills, "Love Is A Deserter"

Just kidding.  Putting this on repeat (or listening to the album is like listening to this song on repeat) and zoning out for some Ancient Greenhouse Climates homework!

The Breeders

theme song of the day:

The Breeders, "Cannonball" and "No Aloha"

The continuation of my 90's music rediscovery/education.  Sure helps with that depressive attitude I've developed as of late.  Or maybe not.

The Flaming Lips

theme music for today:

The Flaming Lips, "Are You A Hypnotist?"

in honor of the free show I'm seeing tonight. Score.

Four Tet

theme song this afternoon:

Four Tet, "My Angel Rocks Back And Forth"

because it's dreary out.  and all I want to do is snuggle on a couch, watch the rain, drink tea, and listen to this.
