Hexes & Ohs’ “H-H-Highschool”

By Justin | March 12, 2009

This song by Canadian indie band Hexes & Ohs, a self-described Montréal electro-pop duo, is my current obsession. There’s something cute and romantic about the video that I didn’t originally get from just the song itself. I don’t know how I feel about the difference. In any case, I’m glad I’m not the same old [...]

Said The Whale’s “Better for You”

By Justin | February 2, 2009

This song is really good, and also seemed poignant after my earlier post. I cannot fulfill your heart tonight I love the way you sleep when you’re angry The way the moon reflects such a beautiful light I’ve got my thoughts wrapped up in you I’ve got my head all messed up with you So, [...]

Said The Whale’s “Last Tree Standing”

By Justin | January 23, 2009

This song is my latest obsession. My favorite line is the fourth. My horizon, jet black mountain, you’re crumbling into the sea And little city, you’re still so young, but you got so dirty Hey, old ocean, are you still holding on? You look so sad and empty Fires burning, forests falling, for evergreen, forever [...]

Said The Whale’s “The Light Is You”

By Justin | January 20, 2009

I am thoroughly impressed by each new song that I hear off of Said The Whale’s latest full-length album, Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia. This one is no exception. When it’s so dark I can’t see the light Well, I close my eyes and I think of you Teddy bear, honeybee, don’t forget that You love me more than [...]

Said the Whale’s “The Bones of Winter”

By Justin | January 3, 2009

Shivering, cold Cobblestone road Slipping on diamonds and silver A funeral for the leaves Eulogy in the breeze A hymn for the bones of winter The geese have already buried their heads And a full moon over mine tells me it’s time To start thinking about hibernation First snap in the night And the first [...]

Danny Michel’s “Tell Sally”

By Justin | December 29, 2008

This wonderful song is from Danny Michel’s latest album, Feather, Fur & Fin. The banjo and harmonica are placed just right to keep some motion in the song while also portraying the slowness and downbeat nature of the writer’s situation. My favorite line is the last one of the first verse, “I pace like a lion [...]

Chad VanGaalen’s “Bones of Man”

By Justin | December 26, 2008

I’m still trying to figure this one out. Despite my confusion, though, it’s still one badass tune. Flemish Eye is being mean and hasn’t made it available for purchase in the stateside version of the iTunes Store, but you can listen to it for free at CBC Radio 3. It was a beautiful night, yeah [...]

Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”

By Justin | December 17, 2008

This is the kind of stuff I listen to while I’m writing my papers. You let me violate you  You let me desecrate you You let me penetrate you  You let me complicate you Help me… I broke apart my insides  Help me… I’ve got no soul to sell Help me… The only thing that works [...]

Jesse Matheson’s “Make Out”

By Justin | December 3, 2008

This song always makes me chuckle. Friday night, I’ve got nothing to do You wanna come over to my house? It’ll be just me and you And if you wanted to, we could make out Sit and watch a little TV Yeah, just you and me, you’re looking lovely But you’re sitting all the way [...]

Said the Whale’s “This City’s a Mess”

By Justin | November 30, 2008

I post these lyrics in honor of the freshly-fallen snow—our first of the season! You can find this lovely song—from Said the Whale’s latest album, Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia—on iTunes, or you can download it for free from the band’s website. While you’re there, you can also pick up two of their EPs for free. How [...]
