Wonder what's taking From Her Eyes (formerly known as Elephants and Crayons) so long to release a descent quality song. Anyways, the songs on their myspace are really good, I just want more.

Their Myspace.

An American emotronical take on Born Slippy? There is SO MUCH GOLD to discover yet!

Haha what! A U2 cover by Breathe Carolina? This must obviously be one of their earliest songs before their big boom. So much for good musical references. Never heard this before but it's so much better than the original version though, makes me wonder how many golden BC songs I haven't heard.

One of the extremely few songs that I can honestly say describes me as a human being.

Look what I bought bitches

Yeah the pink one is LP2 by Sunny Day Real Estate.

You are young and I am scared, you're wise beyond your years but I don't care

We're one mistake from being together But let's not ask why it's not right You won't be seventeen forever And we can get away with this tonight

The lyrics to the song Seventeen Forever might be the best lyrics ever written.
Every line could easily be copy-pasted into one of those tumblr posts that generates
16.000 reblogs because every single American teenager can feel those words to the
core of their hearts. It's my favourite kind of poetry, it's so simple but at the same time it's
more true than any complicated and witty Morrissey lyrics which, let's face it, are noting
but pure crap.

oh yeah.

My Sundown

An early fall. The sun is still up, though about to set. You sit in a car and watch the naked trees, the orange and yellow leaves that falls off it. You came along with your family yo the mall because you had nothing better to do. You have been listening to the whole Bleed American album on the way and now My Sundown finally plays. You may not have felt this sad during your whole 18 years living on this planet. But it sill feels good. This is the way it should be, there is no doubt. You are so aware that 'no one cares', as the sun shines through the trees and the glass, making it's way into your eyes.

I am the ocean, I am the sea

Tons of Christmas spirit coming up!
I'm mos def gonna maka a christmas song this year, been putting it up too god damn long.

Tats

I really need to get more tats.
Creativity aint the problem, it's the non-existing cashflow.
Planned tats:

• The windfish on my right wrist.
• Clarity on my right ankle.
• "Akira" in katakana on my lower left underarm.

All in black and white of course.
Money, find me!

Oh your eyes they loath
So pretty they've lost their word,
They king me alone
And I know I'm dead inside
I'm reminded every night
So close, just know it wont be me

The song sherry may be the best song that no one has ever heard.

The autotune is just as horrible as it is supposed to be when at it's best.

You tell me we can start the rain, you tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away

I hate it how all lovesongs are about being together
with someone and never about being secretly in love with someone.
Therefore I can never relate to lovesongs. You ungrateful bastards!

Four Year Strong - Find My Way Back

Still got your name tattooed on my back

I fucking hate walking home on weekend nights

Everyone are so fucking wasted and I always bump in to some fucker from highschool that used to hate me (and I still hate
him) and he starts talking about shit I couldn't care less about, like how he stole and crashed his mums car or some other extremely irrelevant and personal story that he should tell to his fucking shrink, not a stranger on the bus. Just leave me alone. I fucking hate the burbs...

...And the story continues (as you all must've hoped yay!) with the same guy coming up to me a second time with his girlfriend beside him, telling me all about how girls are virtually worthless and basically just in the way. His white-trash girlfriend didn't look too happy. And he asked med what kind of music I listen to. "Hardcore... Hip Hop and Hardcore", I answered him. Apparently he likes everything between Elvis and AC/DC. I just wanna wash my right hand because I shook his hand one time too many.

My idea of a good time:

- That perfect part of the jrpg where you've gotten used to everything and your stomach gets filled with pink butterflies everytime you think of playing the game.

- Reading that amazingly captivating manga (ex. Appleseed, Toward the Terra or Berserk) in the
summer sun shining through your window.

- Those extremely rare occasions when you put on a specific record, sit down and really listen to the music and really absorb every song.

- Playing Heroes of Might and Magic against the cpu, anytime, anywhere.

Paying 12 bucks to get into an indie club...

...just to put on your sunglasses, hoodie and (unfortunately) open earphones, just to sit still for 2 hours while listening to A Day to Remember, this is truly underrated.

I'm turning 16 again

Placebo is so perfect to listen to when you hate everything and everyone except for that girl or that boy that you so desperately want to be with but for some reason never will. Everything is decaying and the summer suddenly became a rainy septemberday.

Real beauty makes me wanna gag

Did we enjoy ourselves, when we destroyed ourselves?
Whatever happens, we're fine.
We're on our last life, we'll make no compromise.
Whatever happens, we're fine.

When somebody ask me like "what do you do?", I want to be able to say like "I play videogames"
and they'll ask me "yeah but what do you do for a living?"
and I want to be able to say like "yeah I play videogames, stupid!"

Better than Beatles

"In Akihabara, we don't need to be ashamed of who we are and what we like," he said. "We can feel comfortable because here, we outnumber everyone else."

Last fm

So after having neglected Last fm I'm giving it another shot, and holy mama, it works much much better these days!

Here it is btw: http://www.lastfm.se/user/oceanraves

I hate Kanyehaters so bad. So bad.

It really sucks, being forced into misanthropy.
I never wanted to be like this but you forced me to.

There is a reason for that I listen to Blink 182 EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME that I walk home drunk and alone. If any of you pathetic Blink haters would actually listen to the lyrics and use that dusty brain of yours that you waste on filthy fucking 21th century prententious hollow pure shit that you call indiepop or whatever gets you through the night, you would understand the relevance and truth in these lyrics. Maybe then you would understand the feeling that lingers inside my chest. But you probably never will. And when it all comes around I don't give a fuck. Fuck this shit, I'm gonna go home and watch a Ghibli movie.

...And after everything you put me through
I should've fucking pissed on you

...but I just can't keep my tears away like you do...

If young love is just a game then I must have missed the kick off...

Sometimes I doubt in music...
But that is just momentarily.

Beautiful albums #1

FYI - I hereby declare that the ridiculous statement that crunkcore is supposed to be the worst genre in history is incorrect. The worst genre in history is actually post- punk revival.

I don't know what I did but you do...

Math the Band - A Brief Introduction to Music

Oh how nice, all British 21th century music isn't crap!

Just 'cuz we're down it doesn't mean we gotta stay there

My friends and I, we're all fucked on the inside

This is the album I'll put on the next time I sit in an airplane, sailing thousands of feet above the clouds.

Her lips were the last thing touched tonight
Your best friend is not your girlfriend

I have to a admit it's getting better. It's getting better all the time.

I find The Whitest Kids You Know very funny but there is one thing that bothers me, that they constantly yell and scream during the whole sketches. It can get too much for me sometimes.

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

How long 'til dawn?

Fucking Chrono Trigger!

It just keep getting better. Every Breathe Carolina song gets better every time I listen to it. It's already pretty old, but it's the fucking future, screamo/electronica. I'm gonna get a Kill Paradise tattoo on my sleeve pretty soon. It's funny how I used to loathe the american musicscene while adoring the british. But I've realized something: britpop/manchester/madchester/twee/shoegaze and all you british indescenes, YOU ARE SO FUCKING OUTDATED! Stop massproducing all that fucking shit, we've heard it all before and it was SO MUCH BETTER THEN!

Today when I was feeling more bored and claustrophobic than ever before I discovered how well Bring Me the Horizon works in these kinds of situations. It's like they help me to turn all those anxious feelings into pure hatred towards the entire human race.

What a brilliant interview

Man, it amazes me how incredibly fucking dirty this band is. Watching their videos is like watching transvestite bums dressed up as the whitest trash in America trying to imitate the Coconut Juice video . And it's good.

Cannot sleep because I feel so stressed about allt he brilliant tattoos I wanna get and can't afford.

Tonight I feel like making a drastic statement so this is how it goes: freakin 'indie pop' is as outdated as rock n' roll and has nothing to do with terms like 'modernity', 'the 21st century' and 'the future'. This I belive in with all my heart, body and mind.

I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place.
The weight of the world be okay if it would pick a shoulder to lean on
So I could stand up straight.

This may very well be the best album of 2009. It just gets better everytime I put it on.

So finally a Korean song made its way to this blog even though I've tried so hard to keep this blog focused on music from the western world, I finally cave in!
I can't understand why I've missed 4Minute since they've been active for so long. I would almost go as far as to say that this video has as good choreography as in Gee even though the song is not nearly as good (well none are...)

Sometimes it's fated
We assassinated it
For fear of growing old
Can't stop growing old...

I can picture your face well from the bar in my hotell

Currently listening to...

Have a Good Journey by Advantage Lucy during the day


and

Futures by Jimmy Eat World during the night

It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve
Count on that for sure

Today: Browsing through fanphotos uploaded on Kill Paradise's Myspace. By looking at these pictures it is pretty easy to say that the average Kill Paradise fan must be about 12 years old.

Why is purity so beautiful to me?

Jimmy Eat World - Work

When I hear this song and when I watch this video I truly appreciate the life that has been given to me. I appreciate the place that I have been born into; that I can choose for myself how I want my life to be and that I am not being held down by any financial or social obligations.

On sleepless roads the sleepless go, may angels lead you in.

She kept my head in the clouds...

Me vs. Everyone

I guess that all comes down to circumstance.
All music can be good if you're in the right place with the right mood.

I'm the type of person to take it personal

"I wish I could sleep but I can't lay on my back because there's a knife for every day that I've known you"

This world's an ugly place (but you're so beautiful to me)

So I got home and started working on an awesome cover but then I remembered Nickasaur!'s cover on Coconut Juice and Lime and got myself some of that inferiority complex.

Nickasaur!, you are my best friend at lonely nights like these when I walk home alone.
Seriously, you're the fucking best!

What's my age again?

"There's a place where I don't need to try"

Okay so I couldn't find the version from Hot Party Jamz that I've been listening to (and find to be a lot better) but whatever.
It starts off with something that sounds like a Tough Alliance intro (the other version that is) and turns into one of the most sentimental "the boy" themed accoustic party romanticizations I've ever heard.
I wonder if Larry David ever felt this way when he was young...

- The future...
- What about the future?
- We have no future!

Have you every played the best game in history?

The best song on Ocean Eyes.

Guys with nice singingvoices pisses me off.

Pull up to this club
that I was never really hip to
Dress a little different
than the girls that I was into
What was I thinking?
I shouldn't be dancing at all

Oh no, my friends don't get it
(Oh no, I'm in love)
Don't ask me why I'm with
A hip hop chick

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking (not really) and I have to say that my absolute favourite Nirvana song is Drain You.

A very good song to put on when you come home drunk and alone.

I just realized that it says "You Are a Snail in a Rocket" in lower right corner.
I'm blown away...

Gold

So I found this webpage where someone had uploaded tons of scans of videogame cartridges and ads and stuff like that. Yes, that's right.. I struck gold.


But what I found to be most interesting was how incredibly bad some of the ads were. I mean, this is Squaresoft I'm talking about, the motherfucking kings! But then again, maybe their american offices weren't that royal back then (not that they have ever been and they definitely aren't today.)

Wow I'm surprised that How I Met Your Mother didn't entirely suck...

I am so forever in love with Rose McDowell in this video...

One of the greatest covers of all time

Do you remember when we painted our skin green and performed for our parents with the instruments that we had built with those lego rip-off things? That was my best performance so far.

An album that won't ever stop being beautiful.


The same goes for Clarity.

Owl City - Hello Seattle (Remix)

Ah.. This remix is so much better than any orignial Owl City song.

Things I mother-fucking-hate #2

Bad motherfucking internet connection!
Someday I am going to kill the person responsible for bad internet connection. There's got to be someone who has that job, to decide wether people should have good or bad internet connection, right?

I don't know how to feel...

I just played Tales of Vesperia and was shocked to discover that they used the term "emo" in the game's dialog. I don't know how to feel...

On repeat: "Show Me Yours".
The cover of "It's Classy, Not Classic" is probably one of the ugliest covers that has ever been made.

Things I mother-fucking-hate #1

Facebook.

We are ugly but we have the music

Putting life into Rebirth

Well it was a very uneven album with some very good song and some very, very, very bad songs and I think that everybody are on the same wavelength on this. Well I took away the very, very, very bad songs and the half-bad songs as well and what's left is a brilliant EP. Tracklist:

1. Knockout
2. On Fire
3. I'm So Over You
4. Paradice
5. Drop The World
6. I'll Die For You

I thank Badboy "bajsmannen" HJ for Kill Paradise.

"And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep."

You are my heaven tonight

nothing

Good shit.

Could this be the record that will define the spring of 2010 when I reminisce years from now?

It just hit me...

...What would I do if I went out with someone that was like superallergic to peanuts? It would obviously mean that I would have to quit peanuts but would I be able to do that? I don't think I would...

The next time I see you, you'll turn away.
I'll say, 'Hello,' but you'll keep on walking.
The next time you see me I'll turn away.

Let's talk space and time
I like to get deep sometimes and think about Einstein
And Carl Jung And old Kung Fu movies I like to see
Pass the hydrator please

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm

Did you know that the song "Radio Arcade" from "The Effect" by Kill Paradise is one of the best songs in history?

Do something.

Every day is a new chance.

Chat Roulette

Jag och min kamrat Eugene prövade idag för första gången på "Chat Roulette".
Trots att ca 70% av sidan bestod av folk som runkade framför kameran, 26% bestod av douchebags som av någon anledning verkade tro att det skulle kunna hooka där samt 3% bestod av folk som blazeade så var det faktiskt en väldigt rolig upplevelse. Alla de där 99% var värda att genomlida för 3 koreanska tonårstjejer som vi delade Asian Poses med.

Lugn musik

Jag har verkligen underskattad lugn musik. Förut så förknippade jag lugn musik med douche och tjejer med dålig smak men nuförtiden är lugn musik fan det enda jag orkar lyssna på. Jag är väl bara en trött jävel.

Bra lugna låtar:

Butterfly - Weezer
Hated For Loving - Morrissey
Japanese to English (Demo) - Red House Painters
These Days - Jackson Browne
Hear You Me - Jimmy Eat World

Dåliga bloggar

En kompis länkade till en kompis blogg nyss. Bloggen bestod till 95% av själlösa svartvita konstfoton på träd och ariska flickor. Gud vad jag hatar sådana bloggar. Som jag sa till min kompis så tycker jag att det är helt okej att lägga upp sådana bilder om de har någon relevans, tex att man reflekterar över bilderna eller har tagit dem själva, men när man bara lägger upp estetiska foton som någon sorts hipstermaskin så tål jag verkligen inte det. Det blir så extremt opersonligt och ointressant och jag skulle aldrig någonsin spendera tid på att "läsa" en sådan blogg.

Realism

Lyssnar för första gången igenom Magnetic Fields nya skiva "Realism".
Den var ju som förväntat tråkig. Låter ungefär som "I" men utan det trallvänliga som fick väga upp det tråkiga soundet för att skapa en bra skiva. Här har man kvar det tråkiga soundet med lite mer reverb och amerikansk folkmusik.

Till skillnad från så många av mina andra bloggar så fokuserar jag här på västerländsk kultur.
