Woods - To Clean
This song’s been stuck in my head for a few days now. I feel as though it has that wonderful blend of utter simplicity and style that I never quite seem to achieve. Wish I could write a song using the ‘first three chords’ everyone learns on guitar and have it be awesome. Definitely one of my favorite tracks of the year.
Norwegian Arms - Quite the Contrary to a Rainy Day
Today was my friend Yana’s birthday and I decided that instead of doing the usual gift certificate thing, I decided to write a song inspired by her/my experiences so far here.
This method proved not only cheaper and more personal, but it put me in the position where I needed to write a song, instead of dilly-dallying like I so often do with other material. This may become a project I try to continue at least during my time here, because of the forced-output it requires.
As usual, I decided to create the case myself, and found a nifty little guide on instructables as to how to accomplish this.
To be entirely honest, I wish I had worked on this a little longer and could have fleshed
it out more, but Yana called me this evening to let me know that she very much likes her present, and that really was the goal. So I guess I’m satisfied.
So if you have a birthday and you’re a person I like, don’t be surprised if you become a part of the Keith Birthday Birthday Song Project.
Das Racist & Wallpaper -Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell (Wallpaper Remix)
Dom showed me this and my life is forever changed. Never have I laughed and danced so much at the same time.
Sometimes genius rears its head in odd forms. This is one of those instances
Norwegian Arms - Jitterbug
Recorded this new song on a whim, mostly because I’m really really excited to play it on Saturday. If you like it at all tell me or tell someone else. It’ll eventually be available for stealing. It was called litterbug until Jose made me realize that Jitterbug is a million times more appropriate through his misinterpretation of the lyric in the first place.
By the way, you should all come to that.
And if you care, this is what the lyrics look like:
Shut all the blinds, the city’s still burning all diamonds and fire
like a bush in a mine
While the serious boys take the girls to a party
where the business men dance with their wives
There on the floor are twenty young warriors
who speak seven tongues and fix their own bikes
while the businessmen’s wives are tickling their fancies
with fantasies brimming with ghoulish desire
gonna catch you jitterbug
Shuffle in line the gates may be closing
don’t know where they’re going but they’ll certainly try
while the whimsical girls are twisting their curls
for the sleek city boys they’re trying to find
gonna catch you jitterbug
