Today, I really needed this

Perhaps one of my favourite things about music, if not the best thing about music, it it's ability to transform human emotion in a heartbeat. No matter what the situation, no matter what the context, no matter how I'm feeling, I'm always amazed by how quickly a song can change everything and make my day 1000 times better, or at least more understandable, tolerable and manageable.

Today was one of those days... and this was one of those songs.



-You keep talking 'bout all your sticks and stones and broken bones and words that you keep sayin

Winning the Internet

Every now and then, one finds a video so strangely wonderful, that one simply must sit back a moment, appreciate it's creator and applaud proudly at said creator for winning the internet.

*slow clap for The Avalanches*

-Ain't gonna stop until the day grows long, got my hands tied tight and this feeling all wrong

April Shananigans: Today Will Try to Kill Me

But it is tomorrow that will likely succeed.



-And whoever will try the hardest will suffer the worst

April Shananigans: Dear Sloan

You rock my world. And that 2nd song sounds a little bit like old school Offspring.



-Sewn up tight and a smile painted on

April Shananigans: Tease the devil

Give it back so that you can take it away all over again.

-I'm not raising hell, I'm gonna tame it and give hell to someone else
