The Black Keys- Little Black Submarines

One (just one) of the crappy highlights of my year was winning tickets to The Black Keys/Tegan & Sara, but losing them because I had to leave for work five minutes before they called my name. A friend of mine won them in my stead. However, come showtime, I believe he was trying to sell them on Craigslist.

When I don't have a man in my life, I turn to the men in my music.



"Little Black Submarines"

Little black submarines
Operator please
Put me back on the line
Told my girl I'd be back
Operator please
This is wreckin' my mind

Oh can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Pick you up, let you down
When I wanna go
To a place I can hide
You know me, I had plans
But they just disappeared
To the back of my mind

Oh can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen a glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Treasure maps, fallen trees
Operator please
Call me back when it's time
Stolen friends and disease
Operator please
Patch me back to my mind

Oh can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen a glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Citizens!- True Romance

I love when someone can pull off a good, "Woo!"

Of Monsters And Men- Mountain Sound

I admit that when I first heard this, I thought Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir was Florence collab-ing with someone else. So good for them.

Drag The River

There just isn't enough well recorded, live DTR on YouTube.... Thank goodness for the Sleepover Shows.



Find Drag The River HERE and on Facebook HERE.
Originally, I was looking for the song All In All.

Annoying floating logo, but well recorded sound.

The Lumineers- Stubborn Love

After 'Hey Ho!' got it's fair share of radio play, I was super glad to finally hear another Lumineers song on the airwaves.

Seabear

It's rainy in San Diego. This calls for strings and horns.


The bird that woke you has fallen asleep.....

Arctic Monkeys- Crying Lightning

More monkeys. Alex Turner, your voice rivals some of my absolute faves. Actually, the Arctic Monkeys were the very original post in this blog. I decided I wanted to have a place to keep the videos I enjoyed. This is the story I tell in music; this is the story the music tells me. So say I. Thanks to the anonymous people who come here. Enjoy.
