“Lights and Music” -Cut Copy

I love this song so much because it reminds me of my best friends and I’s multiple late-night dance parties! Also, saw them play it at Coachella this year, which was the ultimate dance party for me and my group of friends that weekend. There’s no way any human can sit still while this song plays… unless you don’t know good music that is.

Long summer nights i spent holding my true love, playing music under the old oak tree, and pushing each other on the swing wispering cute i love yous in each others ears. I never wanted those nights to end….. Schools starting now will it ever be like those nights again? Beach House is special to us. Used to be by beach house is are life at the moment. When we see each other i can’t let go. i’m young and i’m a fool in love. This is mushy and makes me sad thinking those nights have come to a end. I’m not a chariety case that needs your sympathy ,but i will ask for one more of those nights. the song says “don’t forget those nights when it all felt right”. (i won’t)

waking up every thursday morning this summer and stumbling my hungover ass to my best friend’s house to smoke a bowl & drink beers to chase away the sour stomachs/sour memories, and playing the whole in ghost coluers album by cut copy. if we’re talking bout a song specifically I always wanted to listen to far away…you always wanted to listen to hearts on fire. and the way i begged you to do a mash up of far away and the talking heads ‘once in a lifetime’…. still havent heard that track.

I fell in love with “Can You Tell” by Ra Ra Riot in the early stages of a relationship, and the lyrics were so true to life.

“If She Wants Me” by Belle and Sebastian is an extremely important song to me. Two years ago, a girl played guitar and sang that song for me. She quickly became my girlfriend. We will be celebrating our two year anniversary in two weeks. I am thankful for that song, because it brought us together.

“Fox in the Snow” by Belle & Sebastian.

This song gives me a boner. I’m not kidding.

The first guy/guy love I ever experienced happened when I met this dude in an AOL M4M Chat Room (remember those?). His screen name was a straight rip-off from this song, something like B0y0naB1ke.

The first time we chatted we spent an entire night listening to Bjork albums simultaneously and alternately typing in lyrics. I was in love. I was Indie.

We eventually met and he shared his Belle & Sebastian collection with me. Long, hot summers listening to Tigermilk, If You’re Feeling Sinister and Boy w/an Arab Strap(on). Hot. Sticky. Sweet.

That was 11-years ago. B0y0naB1ke was my first guy crush and I have Belle & Sebastian to thank of that.

Call-to-Action: Pick-me and know that you helped me get a boner.

It can only be a selection from Belle and Sebastian for me. Their signature musical style and Glaswegian grace is unsurpassable, and when they wiggled their way into my life years ago, it was with a cheeky wink and then an instant glare that shook me to my core, and forced the leaves off of my branches.

There isn’t much that I wouldn’t do to finally be able to enjoy the imagery that they provoke and to admire their calm and fluid musical gesturings in front of their physical presence. The days for enjoying Belle & Sebastian live are numbered. I recoil to think that I will miss this opportunity for musical and emotional satisfaction, all because my vile, shoeboxey and way-way-way-too-expensive Mission apartment has gobbled up any $70 investment for a concert. I can’t stop eating to justify seeing Belle & Sebastian, though I will most likely still try. Before doing so, I pray to the karma powers-that-be for a hand with a Treasure Island ticket inside to thrust downwards from the mist and find its way to me. It’s this Sunday; that’s five more days of hoping and remembering that stars of track and field are beautiful people.

O, Mission Mission! Are you that magical hand descending from the heavens? If not, I will plague Valencia Street this Sunday, moping out everybody. Send me to Treasure Island instead, where I can just mope in the roped off area with all the others to the dulcet tones of Belle & Sebastian.

“She’s Losing It” Belle & Sebastian

Towards the end of graduating from college I starting having really bad panic attacks–horrible intense feelings that I couldn’t do anything. Leaving my house to go outside generally seemed like such a hurdle.

My roommate Jason was a cute twee boy who loved the album Tigermilk. The song “She’s Losing It” really struck a chord with me one day when he forced me to go out of the house. I kept singing the line “…from the first moment of waking up, she knows she’s losing it” over & over in my head like a mantra, hoping it would get me out of “losing it”.

Thankfully I’m better, but I’ll be damned if that song doesn’t still freeze me as a reminder of where I used to be.
