Thrice - Disarmed
So where’s your landslide, where’s your victory? Tell me now, where’s your sting?
The Beach Boys - I’m Waiting for the Day
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for three days now.
I went to go see O’Brother play at the Soda Bar in San Diego last night. It was wonderful even though I was alone. Going to shows by yourself really isn’t so bad…well, unless it’s at a bar on a Sunday night when you’re one of the only girls there. I darted out of there right after they played, but I wish I would have waited a little bit and gotten myself a vinyl of theirs I don’t have.
If you’ve never listened to O’Brother, now is the time.
Matt Redman - Here is Love.
No love is higher, no love is wider
No love is deeper, no love is truer
Thrice - Anthology
This song pulls bit and pieces of imagery from six previous Thrice songs; Atlantic, The Whaler, In Years To Come, Silhouette, Trust, and The Weight. Hence, the name Anthology. I always dig little inside self-references, whether in music or film. I was listening to The White Album today and realized that I had forgot that Glass Onion does something similar, thought a little less subtle. Most of these six songs directly or indirectly dealt with my relationship with my wife through the years, some even before we were married, and I thought it would be fun to build a song out of some of the pieces. Also the idea fit the mood of the song rather well. I suppose I could have let you dig through it and figure it out yourself, but you did buy the cool vinyl package right?

This one is probably my favorite off Major/Minor.
Spotify, thank you.
Dr. Dog - Unbearable Why
Welcome to another edition of “Songs Leah Gets Stuck In Her Head”!
(Not So) Random Start: Cave In, “Sing My Loves”
I’ve been a raving super-fan of Cave In since we had the life/band-trajectory-changing experience of touring with them in 2001, I was crushed when I heard they were going on hiatus in 2006, and I almost exploded when I heard they were writing and recording new music for a 2011 release.That release, White Silence, is finally here, and it’s every thing I hoped it would be and more. It’s got the crushing dynamic shifts of Jupiter era Cave In, the brutality of Until Your Heart Stops era Cave In, the melody and semi-psychedelic Pink Floyd/Beatles vibe of Steve Brodsky’s solo work, the headbanging sludge of Caleb Scofield’s Old Man Gloom and Zozobra projects, the thrashiness of Adam McGrath’s Clouds project and it’s all neatly packaged onto a concise thirty-six minute LP. And it’s that conciseness (and that I love this band to death) that I’ve had this record on repeat since Hydrahead made it available for download yesterday afternoon. I can’t stop. I won’t stop.
They might be done touring, but I hope this band never stops making music together. There’s just nothing like it. Nothing that moves me like this band can.
Can’t stop listening.
Thrice - Blood Clots and Black Holes
This song is stuck in my head a lot.
I’ve been on a Black Keys kick lately and I can’t stop listening to this song today. I love Dan’s voice.
