Confessions

Since it is  weekend I choose to play a few songs that I otherwise would not have played. If so,  not  here  for you. And here we go.

N.E.R.D. - HOT-n-FUN
I have once ealier posted this song, only then the original version. And I still think these geek guys rock.
Spotify:
N.E.R.D. – Hot-n-Fun


BARBRA STREISAND
Okay, I guess it's a hit-list-song, but I've been  bewitched!
Spotify:
Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand - Original Mix
Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand - Radio Edit




And an old one. Yes, I love this one. -And why on earth is he gay?
Spotify:
George Michael – Freeek! - Remastered 2006

Freeze this frame. Now call down your dark and your cold and be damned.

 Did not know that it was impossible to miss a place as much as I miss Hawai`i.

It`s difficult to describe Hawai`i in so few words. It probably wouldn`t be fair.
But at this moment in time, I would say ... it's better than my best dreams. It's real.

For the good times

 

On my mind

 

In my dreams

First breath after coma

One of my favorite artist must be this man: MOBY.
I understand people who call him boring, but I see only the beauty of it. He makes wonderful music with few words.

Moby – Honey
Moby – Natural Blues
Moby – When It's Cold I'd Like to Die

I guess it's no  secret  that I have a weakness for indie and folk music. Crystal  Fighters  cover  my  needs  in  a  great way!

If I was a man, I would look like this.

I can’t believe that guy’s married to her. I would get her so pregnant.

This song  is like a dream, only it's real. And  it  makes  me  happy. Repeatedly !
There is a reason why this page has the same name as this song..

A dreamer’s holiday

What is the same as having a holiday and be able to listen to lots of music every day?
-And to do exactly what you want? (no  work  and  no  school!)
  
Lovely!
Jon and Roy – Boon 'elm

And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while.

The Airborne Toxic Event is an American indie rock band, named after a section of the book White Noise.
 I’m a fanatic for strings, lyrics, and broken hearted love songs. This one have all  the three properties. Then it's probably not surprising that I am captivated by this..

Holiday, at last! Ok, let's go

I've always thought that the songs themselfes was maybe a little weak, and I would most likely had forgotten them. If it wasn't for the videos. The videos remains rather fantastic!

Spotify
OK Go – Here It Goes Again
OK Go – This Too Shall Pass




Ok, here it goes again!

Dance yourself clean

For the eye and the ear!
Three cool songs and three cool dances.

Yelle, belle, do you want to ring my bell?



Hardcore Girls, and maybe one not-so-hardcore boy? 



The Coaster. Yeah, I guess this must be for the eye ... (although I love the song!).

My heart longs for Roskilde ..

As you might see (if you had read my blog), there were several bands that charmed me at Roskilde Festival.
Beach House, was one of them.

Spotify:
Beach House – Zebra
Beach House – Norway
Cool story about how they made the song "Norway". After a visit in Bergen, they got challenged to make a song on the train journey from Bergen - Stavanger. And they did! Hence the title, Norway.





Broken Bells is another band who did the same with me, charmed me completely.
Broken Bells – The High Road

They heard me singing and they told me to stop

.. did they?! Well, I don't.
What a song. What a text. What a group. They know how!

Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock ..



We run away, but we don't know why

On repeat

The four songs that have been on repeat the last days... and it won't stop.

The Shins – Sleeping Lessons - the song for today. Listen and be captivated!
The Raveonettes – Last Dance
The National – Bloodbuzz Ohio
and High Highs - Open Season (the song from yesterday)

Freeze this frame. Now call down your dark and your cold and be damned.

My new favorite!

While I let it spin, I lean back and start dreaming away. To the time in Hawaii...

May it be

North Shore ... What else is there?

Confessions

As I hate to like what everyone else seem to love, I must make a confession ...  or two

My heart really do skip a beat when I'm listening to The xx.

A cool version I stumbled over!

OK, one more ...

The Australian electronic music duo band, Empire Of The Sun (that formed in 2006), still move my body and my soul after the first time I heard them two years ago.
