Blog: Cerulean's Love of Music

I'm doing YouSendIt for the first time. You send it is a website where you store (and email) up to a 1GB at a time. Right now I have the song "All the Wine" by The National up there. If you click on this link, it'll take you to a page where you can download the song. It's only valid for 7 days.

Yeee! The song I like so much from Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake...album is available here. So excited! This could disappear soon, so if you like it, get it now.

"Party" by Knife in the Water is a song I first heard about three years ago. I'm linking to it now because who knows when I'll see it available as a download again.

Five Songs I'm Loving This Week Canasta, " Just A Star." Really pretty--almost completely instrumental. Also check out the version of Major Tom. I can't stop playing it! Actually I really like most of the songs. Thanks to Copy, right? for posting this link. Mini Pops, "Bette Davis Eyes," Songs from this site disappear after a week or so. This is apparently quite old (from the 80's I think) but

Okay, this isn't gonna go on my Five Songs list because I'm not actually loving it, but I do find it interesting. Scroll down on the page to the 4/26 listing. The song I'm talking about is Elijah and Cody Torn's cover of Fallin'.

Cool version of Dido's white flag! It's by Marek. Like most of these mp3s, it could disappear any day now.

Two songs by one of my favorite bands, Devotchka.

Video for a very nice Bright Eyes song, "This is the First Day of my Life."

I cannot say enough good things about the song Seven Maids by Jen Gloeckner. I would've included it on my list yesterday, but it took about a thousand google searches to figure out who sang it. When I originally downloaded the sample I forgot to label it. I like the other songs, but so far 7Maids is the one that stands out the most to me.

FIVE SONGS I'M LOVING THIS WEEK Okay, so I actually have seven songs. I can't help it. I have no self-discipline. I could never choose. The Russian Futurists, "Paul Simon," Heh Heh. Yeah, I like this song alot. Instrumental. Engineers, "Home." This is a stream, but it's a really good song. New Order, "" Oh no. Oh Yes. here's the original version. Playtone, "Tonight." I dunno. Perhaps it's

Hasidic Reggae! (It was bound to happen eventually.) Matisyahu Listen to the album. Video for King Without a Crown. Heh Heh. It's Hasidic Reggae!

The Shins. I love The Shins. I Love Love Love The Shins. (hey, they did say caring is creepy.) Anyhoo, you can get their performance from Austin City Limits here. Cool.

Weird Band. I like them. Listen to Rodeohead (medley of Radiohead songs done country-style) and El Corazon. I didn't know Marc Antony took anatomy.

Cool! William Gibson likes a song I like!

Starting today, I'm going to add something to this blog. Since some of the songs I download get taken offline before I get a chance to post them on the weekend, I'm going to add a mid-week update. Yes, I know. We've all been holding our breaths for this. This will be in addition to the Five Songs thing I do on the weekend. That's not going anywhere. I'll do this mid-week update on Tuesdays

Seven Songs I'm Loving This Week I'm adding a few extra songs because I have so many streams, and I feel guilty. I can't provide the mp3s like I used to. I just can't find them. They're gone before the weekend. Anyhow. The Legends, "There and Back Again." Very lovely, memorable song. The hobbits in Sweden are much taller. Took me forever just to find this video (look in the middle of the page);

Band Name of the Week Suburban Kids With Biblical Names So, are James and Matthew still playing soccer? How about Mary? Has she made anything for the school spirit bake-off yet?

Stream a really good album today.

Five Songs I'm Loving This Week Captains of Industry, "Architects of Sunshine." What a cool song. Panda Bear, "A Musician and a Filmmaker." I'm direct linking to this because I can't isolate an mp3 on the bandpage. The MP3 is from Insound. Output Message, "Bernard's Song." What a great electronic song. Lazarus, "Singing to the Thieves." I'm direct linking, but only because there's no way to

Low is releasing a DVD Documentary of their tour in Europe. It's called, appropriately, Low in Europe.
