Gimme Sympathy - Metric

Love me some Metric. There's just something about the energy in this song that I can't get enough of, but obviously it's the lyrics that really draw my interest. I mean, Here Comes The Sun has long been one of my favorite Beatles songs.

*We're so close to something better left unknown, I can feel it in my bones. Gimme sympathy, after all of this is gone. Who would you rather be, The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?*

Definitely The Beatles.

(acoustic bonus!)

Juliet - Royal Wood

Re-watching Being Human and this song caught my ear. Whoever picks the soundtrack for that show is really doing a terrific job. Much like Weeds, Being Human has been introducing me to some truly gorgeous songs. Royal Wood is the performer's actual name, which is just fawesome. His voice has that breezy but heartbreaking Rufus Wainwright quality to it that gives me shivers. Of course, his music is also piano heavy, which is always a plus. I'm also a little obsessed with Do You Recall, which I believe was also featured in Being Human.

"I don't always ft. someone in my songs, but when I do...it's myself." -Royal Wood

(not an actual quote, but how funny would that be?)

...Like Clockwork - Queens of the Stone Age

...Like Clockwork is the new album from Queens of the Stone Age that I thought would never come out. Let me just say it is basically sploogetastic. Eargasmic. Dopamine rush on ELEVEN. And yeah. Much love, I am super stoked. The vid is pretty eyesplosive also. Sorry, it's hard to type with so much awesome happening in and around my face right now.

Digital Love - Daft Punk

I've had this song stuck in my head since Tuesday when a friend showed me Interstella 5555. Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is a pretty amazing little anime that gives a comprehensive story to Daft Punk's album, Discovery. It's cool, watch it.

Why don't you play the game?
