Eric McFadden - "Ship Without A Dock" (Let's Die Forever... Together)

Dark low voice, dancing violins, quick waltz.

Party!

Bright Eyes - "First Day Of My Life" (I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning)

Very soft, very singer-songwriter, broken-heart-at-the-feet-of-flowergirl ish.

Yet... nice.

Elvis Perkins - "While You Were Sleeping" (Ash Wednesday)

Not sure what it is about this song that I like. Whenever I catch myself liking it, I frown and listen again: what is it? It is not the lyrics, though the guy is compared to Leonard Cohen amongst others.

Decemberists - "A Cautionary Song" (Castaways And Cutouts)

Funny, this one is played on the "Devotchka" (add variety: Arcade Fire) channel, not the Decemberists channel.

I can say for sure I do not like *every* Decemberists song, but the ones I like, I like really well.

This one, a sweet accordeon-polka, is good!

Today Is The Day - "Temple Of The Morning Star" (Temple Of The Morning Star)

Curious, bit x-rated-ish.

Folk and tidbits of Godspeed, you! Black Emperor

Sonny Bono - "Pammie's On A Bummer" (Inner Views)

Another melancholy '60's singer-songwriter.

Very Cohen / Dylan-ish. Including tambourine!


K.P. Devlin - "Not the same" (Shoot Down The Stars)

Singer-songwriter with violins.

Nice.

Cat Stevens - "Lady D'Arbanville" (Box Set)

Always thought I never was a big Cat Stevens fan, but this song is pretty good.

Singer-songwriter, slightly melancholy.

The Last Airbender

ugh, complete waste of time.

Bad acting. Bad lines. Bad plot. Boring story.

Chronicles Of Riddick

Dunno why but this is one of those films I sometimes yearn to see.

Loved it again.
