ROLLERCOASTER
Don't you hate it when your life goes from SHITTY to AWESOME to SHITTY to AWESOME to SHITTY in the space of a few days? Or even a few hours? Potentially even a few minutes?
Yeah.
Just throwing that out there.
I'm done being emoish now.
Really.
All is well.
See?
-=meh=-
EDIT: Oh yeah, and the competition was bitching and the party was hot. That is all.

SONG OF NOW
Once - The dogs have quit their barking
"Son," - my neighbor said to me.
"Know the emptiness of talking blue
the same old sheep."
Run - I'll do no more this walking
Haunted by a past I just can't see
Anymore
Anymore
But let me tell you I have never planned
To let go of the hand that has been
Clinging by its thick country skin
To my yellow country teeth
Far - Far away from West Virginia
I - Will try on New York City
Explaining that the sky holds the
Wind the sun rushes in and a child
With a shotgun can shoot down
Honeybees that sting
BUT THIS BOY COULD USE A LITTLE STING!
Who - Will get me to a party?
Who - Do I have yet to meet?
You - You look a bit like coffee
And you taste a bit like me
How - Can I keep me from moving?
Now - I need a change of scenery
Just listen to me I won't pretend to
Understand the movement of the wind
Or the waves out in the ocean or how
Like the hours I change softly slowly
Plainly blindly oh me oh my!
~ The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth, by Clap You Hands Say Yeah!
Hm.

OMFG
For lack of a better title, I present to you... The Chrono Trigger Mixtape: Volume 1.
It's CHRONO TRIGGER MIDIS mixed with RAP. They use Gato's Theme, for example, with 50 Cent's Disco Inferno. If that doesn't completely scramble your mind, I don't know what will.
And somehow, strangely, it all fits together.
Enjoy?

STANDOUT TRACKS - "Since I Left You" ; "Avalanche Rock" ; "Tonight" ; "Frontier Psychiatrist"
~ The Black Eyed Peas, Monkey Business

STANDOUT TRACKS - "Pump It" ; "Don't Phunk With My Heart" ; "My Style" ; "Gone Going"
~ Broken Social Scene, Feel Good Lost
DESCRIPTION - Nonlyrical ambiant vibes. Good for relaxation. Or car rides. Or whatever.
STANDOUT TRACKS - "I Slept At The Bonnhomme At CBC" ; "Feel Good Lost" ; "Cranley's Gonna Make It"
~ Daft Punk, Discovery
DESCRIPTION - Crazy techno goodness. Better than their first and latest album. Music that just screams "RAVE."
STANDOUT TRACKS - "One More Time" ; "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" ; "Crecendolls"
~ The Decemberists, Picaresque
DEFINITION - That album I won't shut the fuck up about because it's so good. Folksy indie rock, ranging from Spanish ballads, to French prostitution tunes, to sea shanties.
STANDOUT TRACKS - "The Infanta" ; "We Both Go Down Together" ; "The Engine Driver" ; "On The Bus Mall" ; "The Mariner's Revenge Song"
~ Franz Ferdinand, You Could Have It So Much Better

DEFINITION - Folksy, chilly, relaxing music.
STANDOUT TRACKS - "Jezebel" ; "Grey Stables"

STANDOUT TRACKS - "Twin Cinema" ; "Jackie, Dressed In Cobras" ; "Use It" ; "Streets Of Fire"
~ Modest Mouse, Building Something Out Of Nothing
DEFINITION - I'll try to make this the last Modest Mouse album. I swear. Kinda rednecky, kinda indie rock, lotsa guitar twangy and random yelling.
STANDOUT TRACKS - "Neverending Math Equation" ; "Interstate 8" ; "Other People's Lives"
~ My Chemical Romance, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
DEFINITION - Emo/Punk rock!
STANDOUT TRACKS - "Helena" ; "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" ; "Thank You For The Venom"
~ Sufjan Stevens, Illinois
DEFINITION - Sort of folksy rock like Iron & Wine, but somewhat more emo, and somewhat more heavy. And more variation. And wierd titled songs.
STANDOUT TRACKS - "John Wayne Gacy Jr." ; "Jacksonville" ; "Chicago" ; "They Are Night Zombies! They Are Neighbors! They Have Come Back From The Dead! Aaaah!!"
~ The White Stripes, Get Behind Me, Satan
DEFINITION - A totally bitchin' album for being recorded in, what, two weeks I think it was? Much variety.
STANDOUT TRACKS - "Blue Orchid" ; "My Doorbell" ; "Little Ghost"

DEFINITION - Funky jazz-rock. Like Shining, but less scary.
STANDOUT TRACKS - "Pressure Point" ; "You Will, You Won't" ; "Zuton Fever"

SONG OF NOW
I'm an engine driver
On a long run, on a long run
Would I work beside her
She's a long one, such a long one
And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go
I'm a country lineman
On a high line, on a high line
So will be my grandson
There are powerlines in our bloodlines
And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go
And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones
I'm a money lender
I have fortunes upon fortunes
Take my hand for tender
I am tortured, ever tortured
And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go
And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
I am a writer, I am all that you have home
Home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones
(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go
(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go
~ The Engine Driver, by The Decemberists
