these are the songs i am listening to right now:
1. grounds for divorce - wolf parade (the first song i heard by them, courtesy of will robinson. needless to say, i was impressed)
2. did you see the words - animal collective (perpetually my favourite animal collective song, though there are others i sometimes enjoy more)
3. hope there's someone - antony and the johnsons (reccomended to me by devendra banhart)
4. sadie - joanna newsom (when i first heard her voice, i was irrationally angry. halfway through that first song, though, i was converted. she's pretty great)
5. three colours - sunset rubdown (clearly i just have a crush on the whole swan lake family)
6. heart it races - architecture in helsinki (this song gives me hope for the world. more specifically, it gives me hope for australia)
7. mr. november - the national (i kind of hate the national, actually, but this song is so damn catchy)
8. suffer for fashion - of montreal (perpetually my favourite band, though there are others i sometimes enjoy more)
9. the funeral - band of horses (i have been addicted to this song since the first time i heard it. i like to belt it while washing dishes)
10. we tigers - animal collective (first animal collective song i heard, also courtesy of will robinson. needless to say, i am only cool because of will)
11. guitarmy - the blood brothers (on that same mix will made me, this song followed we tigers, and it shall follow it forevermore)
12. peach, plum, pear - joanna newsom (oh god this song is so good)
13. twilight - antony and the johnsons (ditto)
14. i feel just like a child - devendra banhart (i really do think it's only a matter of time before devendra banhart and i run away together. and by that i mean in reality, i probably would not be able to stand him. to keep the fantasy alive, it's best if we never meet)
15. idle songs - frog eyes (first frog eyes song i heard, though these guys i found without will robinson's help. this is actually their best song, i think. the rest of their music is woefully unimpressive. they put on a mean live show though. actual quote from carey mercer when i saw them in june: "this next song is off our new album. it's called.... fuck.")
16. plasticities - andrew bird (i'm pretty sure it's impossible to listen to andrew bird and not have at least a small crush on him)
17. ankle injuries - fujiya & miyagi (i'm pretty sure these guys live to please me. case and point: when i saw them live, one of them (who can keep them straight?) handed me the fucking set list. yeah, it's still on my fridge)
18. jacksonville - sufjan stevens (best song ever? possibly)
19. long haired child - devendra banhart (devendra, i want to have your long-haired babies)
20. clap your hands! - clap your hands say yeah (this song freaks my roommate out)
21. how it ends - devotchka (and that's how it ends)
due to their unavailability on deezer, the following songs are missing:
- the men are called horsemen there - sunset rubdown (this is pretty much my favourite song right now)
- rapture rapes the muses - of montreal (this is pretty much my favourite song ever. i'm pretty sure i'm not alone in feeling this way either. you should have seen the reaction from the croud when they played it at their concert last february. of montreal, please come back to vancouver. i love you so)
- we're gonna make it - devotchka (pretty much the entire soundtrack to little miss sunshine is super great)
- parentheses - the blow (this is the cutest song ever. the cutest one that doesn't suck, anyway)
- truck - the octopus project (this band is too obscure even for deezer. jocelyn, you've truly outdone yourself)
- i'm glad i hitched my apple wagon to your star - the boy least likely to (hey, it's catchy)
- kimberly austin - porno for pyros (i have liked this song for about a decade. that's pretty impressive for three chords. three chords that i can almost play quickly enough to make this song happen! go me!)
- set fire to the face on fire - the blood brothers (i think they broke up just to spite me. no, yeah, they did)
- we got broken eyes - sunset rubdown (canadians are hot)
- help us stay alive - explosions in the sky (i've developed an unfortunate liking for instrumental music. it's getting me into trouble)
- modern love - david bowie (stupid david bowie enforcing stupid copywrite laws on stupid deezer. doesn't he have enough stupid money??)
- venus in furs - devotchka (first song i heard by devotchka, courtesy of (guess who?!) will robinson. pretty much the greatest cover ever to happen. pretty much)
so that's the scoop, dudes. play. listen. enjoy.
