Howdy folks,

Here's a little playlist parade of what was played on TtAS last night. Read it and relive our time together as you head into the weekend. And if you're in the LA area, maybe I'll see you at Cinespia's "Night of the Living Dead" screening Saturday night? A zombie movie in a cemetery. Oh, how we tempt fate.

Mercredi 4 août, dans le cadre du Colors Musical Estival, le Nouveau Casino recevait deux artistes assez différents en apparence mais non moins géniaux. La fraîchement New-Yorkaise de The Blow a en effet ouvert pour le grand Jens Lekman. Lire la suite sur Tweendie.com...

The Love That I Crave - The Blow (though I prefer the earlier version "V-day 1998")

The love that I crave is a polar bear to gore me.
Then I'd know the force with which she adored me.
The love of my dreams is the stuff of my nightmares.
When I wake up in screams that's how I know that I really care.

I must await the sting of the scorpion's tail,
for my impatient advances come to no avail.
Little pinches and pokes, they don't mean a thing
compared to a true arrival and the shock that it brings.

Pick it up, try it, get tired of it, rewind.
Pick it up, try it, get tired of it, rewind.

I'm so tired of being wasted, just chasing the same old thing.
I want to get hit by a big thing, come take me, come change me.


Body Below - Mirah
There's a story i could tell
When the cold wind starts to blow
Like a whisper in the night
From a friend that you know
It says "keep holding on
To my body below
Forsake me not,
Don't ever leave me alone"
There was a time when the sun
…

Ok, it has been long enough, time to do this again....
