You Should All Be Murdered
Another Sunny Day — London Weekend
“You Should All Be Murdered” by Another Sunny Day
Oh man, the Buzzfeed article the other day sent me on the Rdio mission to listen to all the twee brit-pop from the early nineties. I’m not sure what this Tumblr’s demographics are these days, but that was definitely a phase for me growing up :)
On a related note, I’m pretty sure that Another Sunny Day would be on some sort of FBI watch list if they released this song today…
One day, when the world is set to rights
I’m going to murder all the people I don’t like
The people who have left me down without reserve
The people who are cruel to those that don’t deserve
The people who talk too much
The people who don’t care
The people whose lives are going nowhere
The people who just give in
The people who don’t fight
The people I don’t like
The people who broke my heart so bad it never mends
The people who wrecked my life & all my so-called friends
The people who don’t know when to forget & forgive.
These are the people who do not deserve to live.
The people who talk too much, The people who don’t care
The people whose lives just leave me crying in despair
The people who told me I was wrong & they were right
The people I don’t like.
Paris
Jay-Jay Johanson — Best of 1996-2013
“Paris” by Jay-Jay Johansen
When I walk the streets of Paris
I can’t stop wondering where is
That bohemian girl who used to stop and say hello
I miss you
I take rue Richelieu
Start at Comédie-Française
Palais-Royal on my right, straight up parallel rue Sainte-Anne
I know this well
I see Place des Victoires
Leave first arrondisement
Pass Bibliothèque nationale, rue Colbert and Augustin
Cross Quatre-Septembre
When I walk the streets of Paris
I can’t stop wondering where is
That bohemian girl who used to stop and say hello
I miss you, I miss you
…
Since we’re going to New York next week, I collected a Rdio playlist of travel songs for the trip… or at least started to. Check it out and subscribe as I’ll be adding more stuff over the weekend.
Of course suggestions are always welcome :)
P.S. Oh and if you’re viewing on the Dashboard you can click that embedded thing to the left to stream the songs… not sure if you need to be a Rdio member to do it.
East 23rd by CL Sosa & Stewrat [Feat. Steve Carter]
Yep! My favourite NJ indie hip-hopper CL Sosa just released a new free album “Where we’re not wanted” on Bandcamp. You should take a listen :)
Rest in peace to CBGB
I’ve got a ghost of Joey Ramone on my CD
Walking down East 23rd smokings BBs
You’ve never seen somebody drink in public so freely…
“White Dress” by Kanye West
A globetrotting video to accompany Kanye’s new track
Family on both sides I’m so glad you came
Auntie couldn’t make it, oh no, thats a shame
Wedding in June, what could be better
Lets fly to Euro make this the best summer everTake the very last car of the Eurostar
Tell the conductor just drive so far
Told some of your friends and they wasn’t excited
Well we’ll go to the country side and they won’t be invited
“Ruin” by Cat Power
I’ve seen gypsies who made it all the way
And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go.
As far as I’ve seen from the bush
In the wilderness, to every known city
I’ve been to Saudi Arabia, Dhaka, Calcutta
Soweto, Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain,
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining when some ṗeople who ain’t got shit to eat
Bitching, moaning, so many people you know they gotWhat are we doing?
We’re sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We’re sitting on a ruin
the Rains of Castamere
The National — Game of Thrones: Season 2
“The Rains of Castamere” by The National
Ugh… the new National track from the last Game of Thrones episode is gorgeous.
And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?Only a cat of a different coat,
that’s all the truth I know.In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,But now the rains weep o’er his hall,
with no one there to hear.Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Sandman
Brazzaville — Somnambulista
“Sandman” by Brazzaville
My favourite band singing about my new country (although I’m in Sao Paulo and not Rio). Fingers crossed I’ll actually be able to understand the Portuguese part of the song some time soon :)
Hills facing east
The slums have a view
Of the sea
Towards Africa gaze
Tenderly
The rains last for weeks1st of the year
We’ll meet in Flamengo
For tea
We’ll smoke cigarettes
By the sea
Sandman & meMenina dengosa
Nao chore amor
A vida e saudade
Beleza e dor
La da Palestrina
Morre o cantorWord on the street
Jorge Ben’s gonna sing
New Year’s Eve
In Rio the rains
Last for weeks
The rains last for weeks
Pillow from Home
Brazzaville — Jetlag Poetry
“Pillow From Home” by Brazzaville
Favourite travel song of 2011!
I got my pillow from home
Here on the 33rd floor
And I loaded all your photographs
Into my mobile phone
But they only made me miss you moreI got my beat up guitar
And my pocket Moleskine
I packed my echinacea drops
And all my speaker tapes
‘Cause I’m out here on the road again
I’m out here on the road again
HYFR (Hell Ya Fucking Right) [feat. Lil Wayne]
Drake — Take Care (Deluxe Version)
HYFR - Drake & Wayne
She asked
What have I learned since getting richer
I learned working with the negatives could make for better pictures
…
Do you love this shit?
Are you high right now?
Do you ever get nervous?
Are you single?
I heard you fucked your girl, is it true?
You getting money? You think them niggas you with is with you?
And I say
Hell yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah…
Fucken right, fucken right, all right.
A Real Hero (feat. Electric Youth)
College — Drive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
A Real Hero by College (feat. Electric Youth)
Back against the wall at odds
With the strength of a militant cause
A pursuit some called outstanding
Or emotionally complexAgainst the grain of dystopic claims
On the thoughts your actions entertained
And you have proved to beA real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real heroReal human being…
Break (AOTL)
Childish Gambino
“BREAK” BY CHILDISH GAMBINO
I wanna bring you back to the studio, try and get your number
These black girls with natural hair who keep up with their Tumblrs
I like it when you tweet me, you smell like baby lotion
I wanna suck your breasts and finger blast to Frank Ocean
13 ALONE IN VEGAS OUTRO
PUSHA T — Fear Of God
“Alone in Vegas” by Pusha T
From the Fear of God mixtape.
She left the door open, gave a fuck if I’m famous
I write this alone in Vegas
Came off fly street money, partied nights with the a-list
I write this alone in Vegas
Remember nights when my team blew it all on the tables
i write this alone in VegasI’m the only one left, and the memories fading so
I write this alone in Vegas
Think You Can Wait by The National
Ok… whoever edited this video is an idiot. Who takes such a lovely, solemn song and intersperses it with blooper videos from your movie AND keeps the sound of people cracking up and falling down, like it’s a bloody AFV?!?
The fuck?
