got nothing to lose but loneliness and patterns



Spoon - Got Nuffin
Spanking kick ass new track hot off their latest album "Transference". For all the fans of Spoon, who think "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" can't topped, I think "Transference" could give it a run for it's money. The solid riffs a contrast to the forlorn longing of love, but somehow it seems right as Britt Daniel lets his emotions loose in a controlled manner.

Sam Isaac - Bears
And all along the front of this stage there will be fairy lights/as bright as any city night.

Very nice synth rock? song, hear the synth in the background if you take a close listen. Almost cathartic if not for the title. Bears, what?

Barcelona - Please Don't Go
This trio of Brian Fennell, Chris Bristol and Rhett Stonelake make absolutely (coincidentally, "Absolutes" is the title of the album this song is from) the most beautiful piano-infused rock (mostly). When there's no piano involved, it's pretty much good awesome rock. There's elements of Keane and Coldplay, only that they're not even 1% as well known as their counterparts. Their songs are gems just waiting to be uncovered, and it's been taking a while.

you've done nothing at all to make me love you less



The Golden Filter - Favourite Things
HAHAHA this is the most air-headed song I've ever heard. Totally no substance to the extent of being funny. All it does is talk about favourite things such as, vintage dress, vodka, whiskey, Paris and London. The beat is pretty catchy though.

The Golden Filter - Hide Me
Oh jeez, what destructive lust and passion. The whole house was nearly torn apart, and they hadn't even started. Only to be caught by family(?) just as they were about to. Hahaha. The high pitch and oft breathless voice is pretty suited for this song, and awesome synths.

Barcelona - Come Back When You Can
Nice slow rock song. Contrary to what I(or you) thought, Barcelona is a band from Seattle, Washington. Their sound is harmonious and piano-based with elements of rock. I was thinking they sounded a bit like Explosions in the Sky, if you don't count the lyrics.

Muse - MK Ultra
Very deep lyrics, what with unnatural laws and the universe being trapped inside a tear.
