Sometimes you're just so lost in an album that you don't just have a song of the day, and sometimes this album isn't something you've recently fallen in love with again - It's just an album that has taken over your day.

So what is your album of the Day?

Mine is;

Jewel - This Way.

mine is this:
GEMMA HAYES - NIGHT ON MY SIDE

this album is a near classic. gemma hayes may not be a household name but lovers of chick rock know this album, by heart. the reviews for this has been uniformly excellent, praising its tasteful mixture of sad country rock tones and rich, shoegaze influenced guitar workouts. it doesn't hurt that gemma hayes' voice is magical. it's not wispy in any way. it's full and earthy. there's a strong shawn colvin ring to it. and it helps that the melodies here are so strong and touchable that you'd want to listen to every song over and over again. there are moments of calm, chill out folky goodness althrough out this album but the noisy ones stand out like scenes of intense beauty and drama. "hanging around" captures a lovely balance of pop smarts and loud sonic power. "let a good thing go" does the exact same thing. my favorite is perhaps, the loveliest and the most forcefully pretty, "tear in my side" mixes the churning guitars of lush and mbv with a melody and a vocal performance so serene, it flows like luminous water. this album has that and more.

I love that album. I find it so calming and wonderful music for playing behind you when you're reading. "I Wanna Stay" is my personal favourite off that album.. it paints such a pretty picture in my mind.

Today for me, I've been listening to

Rosie Thomas has such a sweet voice. "2 Dollar Shoes" is one of my favourites off that album. Its like this effortless, beautiful sound that comes out of her mouth, that is vaguely country sounding, but still contains lyrics that are deep and soulful.

The Moulin Rouge Soundtrack

American Hi-Fi - The Art of Losing





Weezer Petition

i absolutely adore rosie thomas. and this album is beautiful. my favorite from this is "farewell", that piano is chilling and her voice is just so perfectly melancholic.

Lindsay Lohan----A LITTLE MORE PERSONAL (RAW)

(((get well,Lindsay)))

Hidden Place Single [CD 2]

Im a petit obsessed with Foot Soldier right now. The frantic harp playing is invigorating as well as jostling

Oh No, That's not her vomiting on the album...It's just her singing. I'm sure she's fine in real life.

Kate Bush - Never For Ever.

JEWEL - THIS WAY

Girlysound Disc 2

(I slip under the water
I fall into the sea
Come everyone
Come everyone )

*werid*

when you called me eden....................

A Camp is blowing my mind.

I caught you smiling with pointed teeth
What once was beautiful has turned bitter and cheap
So now there's nothing i can do for you
But leave your roses out to die

I misbehaved
I'm in your way
I'm in your way
Like an elephant

Gentle smiling with pointed teeth
Now there's a war between my high hopes and me
So this is how you put an end to things?
By cutting throats with a smile?

I misbehaved
I'm in your way
In your way
Like an elephant

But in the corner of my mind
A little angel saying
Don't waste your love
You love too much

Today, When I wrote a huge ass essay, I played this on repeat about seven times;

The Breeders’ third release is somewhat familiar. It still has the weird song structures, the drunken talk, the relentless guitar/ drum interplay and of course, Kim Deal’s excellent voice. It’s so familiar, that it almost seems like a step backward. The Last Splash, though still very grounded in garage rock, had certain moments with odd modern noise and top notch production. Title TK is closer in sound to Pod. It’s raw, stark and still odd.

I guess this has something to do Kim Deal’s philosophy at the time. She had said that she was frustrated that a lot of people were doing their music with a computer, that everyone from PJ Harvey to Tori Amos was using hip hop techniques or something. She wanted a more organic sound, that she wanted people to hear them in CD the way they’d sound in the garage. It’s an admirable stance because hip hop does suck. And PJ Harvey’s Is This Desire? Suffered from its surface sound obsession and From The Choirgirl Hotel’s best moment was Northern Lad, one of Amos’ more subtle ballads.

Title TK has a lot of exceptional songs. Little Fury starts out with a relentless drum beat with Kim Deal’s self aware words following closely and Kelley Deal’s voice stalking her sister’s.

Off You, the lone ballad in the lot, is romantic. It’s reminiscent of Do You Love Me Now (The Last Splash), from the slow like honey pace to the Velcro like guitars and humming Bass work. The Breeders retains their bizarre but affecting lyric writing as well.
I've laid this island sun a thousand times.
I'm on it, but I'm going strange.
This island's chills and shell cover me
With winded rock
And skies I've yet to see.

Too Alive is catchy as hell. It’s the kind of song that you’d never get out of your mind. The words are hard to memorize. But the shortness of the song and it’s irresistible melody will have you humming it. And there’s unexpected joy at Kim’s cracking vocal acrobatics.
The thoughts of scene a crime,
Steal and all race out of my mind.
I give up!

T and T is an instrumental that reminds me of Flipside (The Last Splash). It is affecting again, in a more operatic way.

There are also misses, of course. Put on a Side is pointlessly meandering. Sinister Foxx is initially arresting but after a few listens wears its hypnotic quality off. Full on Idle has already been recorded and released and therefore useless because not much improvement occurred.

Still, The Breeders is still a master of melodic rock. The rest of the record is wonderful, makes you miss the nineties very very very badly.

Hm.

should I open a topic called song of the mintue?

Just bought it a week ago, and it hasnt left my player since. . Friggin AMAZING. I reccommend it to one and all.

Tori Amos - The Beekeeper.

And now some beautiful promo pics for you to feast your eyes on...









My favourite is the latter.

the middle two are the best. even though the window one looks like rufus' picture he did for want one. thakks for sharing the nice picutres.

I like the first and last one best.

her first ever single was good, but she hasn't done anything since that was remarkable. her song i'm real is a joke. there isn't anything real about that ho.

Why is every Beekeeper picture that didn't go into the album sleeve really beautiful and then some of the album sleeves aren't really very flattering?

i really like the pictures. she still wears too much make up. she's pretty though.

happiness is like a tv on or off it's up to me

Especially "Shy Boy" which has a really nice vibe to it.

So relaxing.
