Music Is My Hot Hot Sex

Music Is My Hot Hot Sex
By CSS


From all the drugs the one i like more is music
From all the junks the one i need more is music
From all the boys the one i take home is music
From all the ladies the one i kiss is music
Music is my boyfriend
Music is my girlfriend
Music is my dead end
Music is my imaginary friend
Music is my brother
Music is my great-grand-daughter
Music is my sister
Music is my favorite mistress

From all the shit the one i gotta buy is music
From all the jobs the one i choose is music
From all the drinks the one i get drunk of music
From all the bitches the one i wannabe is music
Music is my beach house
Music is my hometown
Music is my kingsize bed
Music is where i meet my friends
Music is my hot hot bath
Music is my hot hot sex
Music is my back rub
My music is where i'd like you to touch

Claro-que-simFui escoteira-mirim
Direto da escola, não
Não ia cheirar cola
Nem basquete, pebolim
O que eu gosto não é de graça
O que gosto não é farsa
Tem guitarra, bateria, computador saindo som
Alguns dizem que mais alto que um furacão (rhéum)

Perto dele eu podia sentir
Saía de seu olho e chegava em mim
Sentada do seu lado
Eu queria encostar
Faria o tigela até o sol raiar
Debaixo do lençol
Ele gemia em ré bemol
Fiquei tensa
Mas tava tudo bem (tudo bem)

Ele é fodão, mas eu sei que eu sou também
Ele é fodão, mas eu sei que eu sou também
Ele é fodão, mas eu sei que eu sou também
Ele é fodão, mas eu sei que eu sou também
Ele é fodão, mas eu sei que eu sou também


I don’t know why I like this song so much. It’s just been stuck in my head all day. Couldn’t find a proper video for viewing/listening. Sorry.

Ocean Breathes Salty

Ocean Breathes Salty
By Modest Mouse

(watch the video)

Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in.
In my head, in my heart, in my soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so.

Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.
Collected my belongings and I left the jail.
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.
I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so.

Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.
Collected my belongings and I left the jail.
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.
I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.

Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye.
When the earth folded in on itself.
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell
are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath."
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind.
Well I don't mind. I don't mind. How the hell could I mind?

Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.

Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?





Mike made me listen to it. The music is beautiful, the lyrics are beautiful, the video is beautiful. It’s such a sad song, but…touching. It’s so original. Not the kind of sound you hear every day. It took a few listens to appreciate it quite as much as I do now, but it was worth it.

Also, I know I was going to reserve this blog mainly for songs, but I have to say how much I love the music video. It’s exactly the kind of thing I think is incredible. It made my day. You rarely get something that right, but it’s perfect.

Love Rymes With Hideous Car Wreck

Love Rymes With Hideous Car Wreck by the Blood Brothers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OEtlteAojI

(Please don't watch the video - just listen to it. It's so annoying to watch. Even I, who love the song, am pissed the fuck off by this video. Also, the sound lags so the visuals are off and it just gives you a headache. Yeah - just listen. Please.)


Those tire tracks

Zigzag your torso like the Devil's self portrait

The car accident, the skin graft treatment,

The flower basketsThe wincing relatives...

You bid her farewell then got in your car

And that's the last thing that you can recall

And when they pulled you out

You didn't know your name

Exploding semi truck, I blurred your face with flame...

You met Jane four years ago today

Dancing at some vomit-stained frat party

Her newspaper gown, a flashing headline brown,

her violent gypsy danc, her tired underpants...

Love, love, love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love, love, love

Rhymes with pity now

Love, love, love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love, love, love

Rhymes with sympathy now

Jane let you touch and feel her

She was so free like a pineapple in a tree, but

You said it's dangerous

To be so intimate

You know it's dangerous, dangerous, dangerous

And Jane said when she laid on her back

The sun hit her body like an ugly landscape

But some things never get better

Like used cars and bad livers

So you traded her in for a better looking brand

One with fake porno tits

A pad lock on her lips

A disposable tan

Biodegradable hands

Back at the hospital

You got no visitors at all

She visits you in your sleep

That newspaper gown (you want it)

Is always on fire (you want it)

Back at the hospital

You got no visitors at all

She visits you in your sleep

But that newspaper gown (you want it)

Is always on fire (you want it)

She met him a week after you left her

When you tossed out her untouched to the garbage collector

He talked her out of her skirt in his beer-soaked apartment

And then they did all the things

You never said that you wanted

And the sirens are laughing underneath your skull

And your thoughts are turning dull, callous and cold

Last night you gave your burden a name

Last night you gave your burden a face

But your burden looks an awful lot like her

Love, love, love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love, love, love

Rhymes with pity now

Love, love, love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love, love, love

Rhymes with sympathy now

Love, love, love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love, love, love



This song…wow. It’s bizarre. I decided to put it as my first post on this blog just because it’s very strange and the whole band is one that normally goes against all my tastes in music. But my friend loved this song so much that she made me listen to it – and the whole album – three times while she was at my house one day. I kind of worshipped her back then, so anything she liked, I tried to like to – this included. Needless to say, it kind of grew on me, both the song and the band. I’m not quite sure how it happened exactly.

So let’s see…I like this song because it’s not your typical love song. It’s ugly. Everything about it is ugly – the story, the singing, the images the lyrics give – but it just hits something right. There’s a lot of anger and regret and disgust. And the chorus. Oh, how I love the chorus! Everything about it is perfect and it’s what saved the song for me. I wouldn’t have been able to stand listening to it otherwise. A lot of people hate Blood Brothers lyrics and call them juvenile – which is kind of true. It’s emo poetry half the time. But despite that I still enjoy listening to it. There’s something raw about it; they don’t shy away from the feeling they want to portray, even if it is somewhat adolescent. The music in itself is pretty good once you get past the singing. They’ve got some really good tunes and guitar work that play with the vocals throughout. I’ve only been able to start listening to the instruments in Blood Brothers songs recently just because I’ve always been overpowered by the voices. But now that I have, I’m pleasantly surprised.

I kind of suck at reviewing, especially music, so this is how I’m going to end my first post. Hopefully more shall follow!!

And give the song a chance, even if you don’t like it at first. It’s the kind of thing that must be listened to more than once.
