I keep trying to find a better song than this, then I think I found it and listen to this again...and nope, it wins every time...

Counting Crows - Mrs Potters Lullaby



It's 7 minutes long so I won't post all the lyrics, but they are so, so good....my favourite part is

All the blue light reflections that colour my mind when I sleep, and the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep, all the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep, hey, I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep...

apparently (wiki) they are curating all tomorrow's parties for their first live performance in 10 years. album DEFINITELY out next year. honest.

I've had this one in my head all day, the perfect cure for seasonal moodswings:

"I've had a hole in my heart for so long, I've learned to fake it and just smile along..."

Over a drunken jukebox conversation this weekend, me and my friends were trying to hit the Most Emo Song Ever...we ended up split 3 vs 3 on these 2 options...casting vote goes to EF

Staind - It's Been Awhile


Puddle of Mudd - Blurry

I thought in recent years, this one probably cuts closest to the bone:

Athlete - Wires

Anything by the pile o'shite that is My Chemical Romance!! They make my blood boil!!!

As requested (I actually do quite like MCR...). This one covers about 4 genres in one tune, and still sounds cohesive. Not easily done!

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

Have some of the Enemy - Away From Here. Rather like this lot, saw them supporting the Futureheads and it's one of those tracks that kinda grabs hold of you and gives you a good shake!!

Have been doing some "Cheerful Song" hunting for things to learn pre-Xmas bash over the past week, and I reminded myself of this little beauty - not easy to play or sing, but one of the great anti-war songs out there. Also one of the most "natural" choruses I've ever heard. Brilliant.

Dispatch - The General

Meant to ask, has the tash gone now matey?

Haha, yeah it has - there is photographic evidence of it at it's peak though

Hehe I consider myself lucky enough to have seen it in the flesh!

On a song of the day kinda note, Sam and I have had a couple of drunken conversations about being indie djs, want in? Wonder if there's anywhere in Zug we could start one...?

www.i45.ch have pretty much got the game sewn up I suspect...I do keep pestering them to let me open mic it there but I doubt it'll come off.

Wishbone Ash "Lorelei" one of my favourites amongst all the other Ash tracks.

This lot would brighten anyone's day!!

I prefer "We're all orf to Margate", but that is a classic

I also defy anyone to not find this a "bounce around" track

The Libertines - Don't Look Back Into The Sun

Was actually gonna suggest this one a while back good skills matey!

Absolutely love that tune!
