I have Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me
The Smiths - Ask
Elliott Smith - Twilight
Regina Spektor - Somedays

They mean that as a compliment, right?


Indeedy

I wonder if the lyrics are as cuddly


Well.........

that whisper, your lovely
curling razor, mistakenly wound
around my tongue to squeeze
some fucking truth from
that wicked obsession, your obsession,
where i can pass by.
they do that when you're dead.
alive i could count stars,
and you counted screams, so
if you would please just hand
me my ticket, i wll go and
join the ground. it was where i
was in the first place


Wow, I love it

Sadly, its intention doesn't seem of the "Nyawwwwwwwww" persuasion though


you should all be murdered

another sunny day.


I'd forgotten all about Somedays

fuck me that's a great song.

Unfortunately I don't have anything to add to this list, so I hope to read other people's additions as I love this kind of music.


oh!

'Samson', once again by Regina Spektor. That's pretty good too.


Yeah

I was torn over whether to put that or Somedays in the OP

They are lovely


Casiotone for the Painfully Alone

Roughly 80% of his songs.


A flaming lips mixtape I made.

That I just remembered, that works well.

Although that's more from personal experience, so I guess it might sound ridiculous.


built to spill - the weather

the mountain goats - how to embrace a swamp creature


oh and also

joanna newsom - peach, plum, pear


Surely not!

Peach, Plum, Pear is about a terrible break up, is it not?


much of pinkerton


Don't By Dinosaur Jr

On Fire - Sebadoh


You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome

When you go


Oooh

Coldplay - Shiver


^nice

Biffy Clyro - Breathe Her

There is a light that never goes out...

'And in the darkened underpass I thought oh god, my chance has come at last, but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask...'


The Lemonheads...

If I Could Talk, I'd Tell You


Certainly

Cemetry Gates also, I think. Or Hand In Glove


Wow

Pisstank

Punching Your Girlfriend In The Cunt Till She Bleeds


Red House Painters

Bubble


Your hand in mine - Explosions in the sky

Come back to Camden - Morrissey


This is the shittest thread EVER

I actually think I'm going to be sick on every pretentious, book reading, faux intellectual Morrissey-loving teenage girls face I can possibly find.


I don't love Morrissey

I ADORE him.

:|


pretty much


Yep

I'm a bit worried about how obvious it is that I'm a pretentious, book-reading faux intellectual.


The use of the word "adore", especially in capital letters

has just made me hate you even more. All my vomit is now reserved for you.
And if you ever use the phrase "foolish fools" I will not hesitate in smacking you really REALLY hard.


It was sarcasm

I think he's a bit of a knob, if I'm honest.


Although

I do quite like him, I suppose.


Yeah

same here.


I'm a pretentious, book reading, faux intellectual, Morrissey-loving teenage girl

right down to the second last word. I'm a boy.

but yes, vomit away tosser.


You're also 15 years old

and have really, really bad hair.


stop telling me things I already know.

(and that picture is old. my hair is even worse now.)


Kate Nash is in your top LastFM artists

That's all I need to know.


and you use 'book-reading' as an insult.

That's all I need to know.


When you're a little older

you'll hate people like yourself.


you're probably right.

But I'm not older. so I don't. It'd be stupid acting older than I am. We cool then?


well-said.

' we've got ourselves a reader!'


Ask

nature is a language, can't you read.

also How Soon Is Now, and There Is A Light....

in the darkened underpass, i thought oh god my chance has come at last, but then a strange fear gripped me and i just couldn't ask


Calumlyn

Is gonna castrate you :(


I am

with my own teeth. Is that sexually ambiguous enough for you?


calumlynn, what music do you actually like?

Ye who is so quick to judge other people's tastes should make their own available for other people's criticism.


I'm not criticising what music you like

I'm criticising your very personality.


oh! Well I better rephrase what I said earlier.

I don't love morrissey, I think he's a cunt.
I do like his music though.
I thought that's what we were talking about. I stand by everything else though.

oh, and:
"Kate Nash is in your top LastFM artists.
That's all I need to know."

how is that not criticising what music I like?


If you were an acceptable human being

you wouldn't listen to Kate Nash. So yeah, it's a personality thing.


Almost

You could have used someone else's.


The concretes

can't hurry love.
