... for you I sigh - for you dear only.

... I'd like to swallow those pills you've got.

A: The Albertans
S: The Wake
C: New Age

So the video is like official but compiled from the movies One Got Fat (Interlude Films - 1963) and Coney Island, USA (Joseph Burstyn, Inc - 1952). In case somebody knows them. Because I don't. But somebody once told me he'd wished all people had tails too. So this is what the world would look like, Mr. Fox. As for the band, The Albertans formed in Vancouver, defects from Alberta, Saskatchewan and the U.S.

... I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear.

A: Mr. Big
S: Wild World
C: Bump Ahead

I know todays song is cheesy, but there is a story to it. This is my dad's most favorite song (and I even learned to play it on the piano when I was little). Ok it gets worse. My dad is turkish, and I was picking up a kebab the other day, and this song played in the kebab place and I was surrounded by turks and it made me sad in a happy way. So don't worry. But I kind of cried in my kebab, which must have looked totally ridiculous.

... and your body cannot stop rocking.

A: Gotye
S: Bronte
C: Making Mirrors

By the way, Florence and the Machine's new album is out today. I already posted the video to the first single, so I hope some animated movie thing will do instead. It's a sad one, the song and the video. Yet I read some of the funniest comments ever on youtube about it. It goes something like this: a 3 minute video made me cry. and i'm not even on my period. If that has been written by a women, chapeau.

... the players are playing - the waitress is waiting.

A: BOY
S: Waitress
C: Mutual Friends

V: http://www.tape.tv/vid/143731

Look, it's BOY. It's the only band who's name I write in capitals, by the way (well them and The XX - because I think otherwise it looks wrong). Anyway, the first time I heard the song and the line 'the waitress is waiting' I thought it was silly. Silly bad, nod silly fun. But the more I heard it the better it got. A bit yeah, like red wine, George Clooney, and the lot. Waitress is the perfect autumn song. That's it.

... they watch us open-mouthed - as we joke around like fools.

Rebecca Ferguson - Nothing's Real But Love (Acoustic Version) from Rich Lorenzo on Vimeo.

A: Rebecca Ferguson
S: Nothing's Real But Love
C: Heaven (out 05.12.11)

Hang on... I will calm down in a minute, hopefully, or never, most probably. Rebecca Ferguson came second in last year's TV show X Factor in the Greatest of Britain: Yes they are all deaf over there and no the winner wasn't better but rubbish. So. I think Lady F. is the most talented and beautiful talent show contestant ever (although it has been said she looks like a thai tranny - rudeness!)

... plus notre idylle avance - d’autres filles entrent dans la danse.

Coeur de Pirate / Pour un Infidèle from L'ÉLOI on Vimeo.

A: Coeur de Pirate Feat. Julien Doré
S: Pour un Infidèle
C: Coeur de Pirate

Jeez. This is turning into a black'n'white video week. Which isn't all that monochrome. I'm having such a phase anyway. Anyway, good things come to those who wait (so I’m gon be at least an hour late - sings Kanye). I wanted to post this video for so long it's been forever. In the meantime, Coeur de Pirate has been busy, recording a new album, which will be called Blonde and is out on the 7th of the 11th.

... if I was a rich man, I'd buy flowers every day - but I am a poor man, so I pick them on the way.

A: Young Rebel Set
S: If I Was
C: Curse Our Love

Why does everybody but me know this song? I discovered them over the weekend, whilst cleaning my bedroom, which was nothing but a cheap excuse to escape my homework. So I found some snippets I had collected with cd recommendations - and Young Rebel Set was one of them. So I checked the album, bought the album, played the album, love the album. If you're sick of listening to Mumford & Sons, this is the way to go.

... last time you left - I got my drunk ass pussy whupped in a fight.

A: Josh T. Pearson
S: Sorry With a Song
C: Last Of The Country Gentlemen

So the video is not the best audio recording on the planet, but you should get the picture. And whilst you are at it, try this: Mr. Josh T. Pearson sounds a bit like if you mixed Damien Rice with William Fitzsimmons together, telling them to sing country. So it sounds brilliantly, and depressing. As for that beard, Josh has a face that tells a hundred stories, and raises a thousand questions.

‎... it's time to see things that you've never seen before.

A: Liberty
S: Girl You Better Wake Up
C: Girl You Better Wake Up - EP

Now I know that this sounds like it's Disco, and it might be, but it's not, for all I know. But it's Saturday and on a Saturday everything goes. And while we're taking a trip down nostalgia lane, I'll tell you that I've started watching Pan Am, the series, and I consider it fantastic. If you have a thing for planes, uniforms or the 60s, which was way before this song, I know. But it all makes sense in my head.

... could have been a princess, you'd be a king.

A: Coldplay
S: Princess Of China
C: Mylo Xyloto

Since the video for Paradise isn't really my thing (Elephant costumes, in London, in Africa - seriously?) and the album is out today (although I already got it two days ago), I figured I'd go with another song. 'Don't Let It Break Your Heart' and 'Hurts Like Heaven' weren't online for embedding - so I go with this one, which I think is ace, and ignore the fact that this is becoming a Rihanna double bill.

... you almost wish you could have all that bad stuff back - so you could have the good.

Rihanna - We Found Love from NicolásKutcher on Vimeo.

A: Rihanna
S: We Found Love
C: Talk. Talk. Talk. (out 18.11.11)

Watch the video. Watch it. I can honestly say that I considered this track utter boredom - I think I even deleted it off my digital record collection. But with an intro to the video, strong as this, it suddenly takes on a complete different turn. And I love seeing an american superstar like Lady R. hanging around a working poor apartment in great old Britain. The album is out in November, by the way.

... everybody loves somebody to hate.

The Ting Tings - Hang It Up (Official Music Video) from Tudor on Vimeo.

A: The Ting Tings
S: Hang It Up
C: Hang It Up - Single

Apparently this is a comeback! It's been 13 months since The Ting Tings last released a song, which was Hands (and a bit more to me liking, I have to say). Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to their second album - which is set to be released in January 2012 and has been recorded right here, in Berlin, and is going to reveal more of a 'dark side'. Uuuuuh. Honestly, every other second album is revealing a darker side - let's wait and see.

... it takes a thousand tries to get it right in time.

A: Young Empires
S: White Doves
C: White Doves - EP

It is, after all, not that easy to concentrate on a song's lyrics on a daily basis, I must say. Especially when, like with this one, you can't google/find them. But then I guess if it isn't a challenge, it isn't fun. And since I'm not good with describing sounds, here's a quote by DAZED & CONFUSED Magazine: Young Empires are making genre defiant tracks that sprawl over chillwave, pop, tropical, and disco-punk.

.. but in the morning you might find - that he might have changed his mind.

A: The Like
S: He's Not A Boy
C: Release Me

Well I guess the song speaks for itself. As for the band, The Like is an alternative rock band from Los Angeles, California. From what I've read this should read 'was'. Because apparently, they've split up. As for the album, I like the others songs all more than this one. Which only means the others are even better. As for this post, I realize I prefer to talk about myself than the act.

... it's just a life story, so there's no climax.

A: Okkervil River
S: Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe
C: The Stage Names

Beta Phase! Not really but it sounds good. In case you haven't noticed, I replaced the headline, where it says date/band/song by a line of the song's lyric. Because to me, 95% of a song's appeal is in the lyric. Then there is 4% of the singers voice - and 1% for the actual music. So. Let's see how it goes. Okkervil River sounds a bit like Arcade Fire, to me. Without the lengths. If you know what I mean.

Azari & III ~ Manic

A: Azari & III
S: Manic
C: Azari & III

I might not be able to judge this one completely objectively, since must be the 25 song I'm listening to today and think about posting. But I like it. And it's Saturday, Saturday is the day anything goes. Why? Because it is. As to the act, apparently it's a four piece (makes sense, with that name), from Canada (change), and described in one word: sophisticating-vogueing-oldschool (I've read).

Lana Del Rey ~ Blue Jeans

A: Lana Del Rey
S: Blue Jeans
C: Video Games - Single

Yes I know, it's only been yesterday and 2 minutes ago when I posted that other song by Lana Del Rey, or as she calls herself: Gangsta-Nancy-Sinatra. But it's just so good. It is, really. She's a bit like the female version of Ironkid. Hang on, Woodkid I mean. Iron was the song. Anyway, Lana, or Nancy describes her sound as Hollywood pop/sad core. And her look as 'Lolita got lost in the ghetto'.

Talking To Turtles - I Am In Numbers

A: Talking to Turtles
S: I am in Numbers
C: Oh, the Good Life

Now, a kitchen might be a cool place to chill and hang, but it's probably not the best place for a record space. Which is good, because Talking To Turtles only filmed their video in one, and didn't mix the album there. Meaning: the CD comes in better quality. Anyway, I checked, and I have no other song or artist or album in my whole wide iTunes library containing the word Turtle. Which is odd, but ok, I guess.

Nadine Carina - Some Chocolate And Cigarettes

A: Nadine Carina
S: Some Chocolate And Cigarettes
C: Magic Box

The most personal feelings you have about yourself, are the most universal ones - that's what I read this morning. An idea I like, then again I don't. In a book on how to create great ads, not some self-help literature, so no - I'm not in therapy. On the artist: Nadine Carina grew up in a little valley’s village called Maggia, in the italian part of Switzerland. On the song: Lindt and Luckies, my choice. Daily.

Tony Bennett Feat. Lady Gaga - The Lady Is A Tramp

A: Tony Bennett Feat. Lady Gaga
S: The Lady Is A Tramp
C: Duets II

If you don't want to be a tramp, or at least a lady by the time this is over, there must be something wrong, besides that hair color. I like Lady G, especially since i chitchatted with a friend of mine who works as supervision to the stars in concert venue backstage areas (yes, I know that important people) and she told me all those fabulously horrible stories about a certain Miss Spears, unable to perform.

Metronomy - Everything Goes My Way

Metronomy - Everything Goes My Way Vidéo metronomy sélectionnée dans Musique

A: Metronomy
S: Everything Goes My Way
C: The English Riviera

I like Metronomy, it rhymes with with monotony, the word I think describes their music the best - and I love a certain amount of it in music. Especially on a Monday morning, mostly on rainy grey ones like today. Let me put it this way: if days were season, Mondays and Tuesdays would be fall. There's the same nonchalance (a word which I recently re-discovered) to them. To Monday, Tuesday, and fall, I mean.

Florence And The Machine ~ Shake It Out

A: Florence And The Machine
S: Shake It Out
C: Ceremonials (out 28.10.11)

So she's back from her burn out and I finally found a platform where I can embed this video without some crappy advertising before it. Which, in Germany, is a hard and basically full time job. Anyway, Lady Florence just reminded me, again, how much I would like to live in a world that is full of red headed people. And curly, please. Somewhere between Florence and Arielle, if you know what I mean.

Seeker Lover Keeper - Even Though I'm A Woman

Seeker Lover Keeper - Even Though I'm A Woman from Natalie van den Dungen on Vimeo.

A: Seeker Lover Keeper
S: Even Though I'm A Woman
C: Seeker Lover Keeper

Me. Here. Listening, thinking: I know that voice. Who is it. So I google and find out that Seeker Lover Keeper contains traces of Sarah Blasko. And of Sally Seltmann and Holly Throsby. Anyway, this is for all the women! Ain't I clever. But I guess it's for all the men too. Then it's for all the Australians, because that is where they are from - and for everybody else, because it's where they will go.

Franz Ferdinand ~ No You Girls

Franz Ferdinand - No You Girls (Official Video) HQ von wonderful-life1989

A: Franz Ferdinand
S: No You Girls
C: Tonight

Not new, not retro, still ace: Us dirty boys never care - must be one of my favorite lines, ever. Anyway, I recently discovered that I had a Franz Ferdinand T-shirt which I haven't worn in a very long time, and never really much in general. So I put it on and discovered that it was absolutely smashingly stunning, matching my headphones perfectly (well it looks great without headphones on as well).

Aérea Negrot - It's Lover, Love

A: Aérea Negrot
S: It's Lover, Love
C: Arabxilla

So, this is different. Different is a good concept to post I guess, you know, it being the day that Mr. Think Different died. Anyway, so why is it different. Well because I don't really think it is my cup of tea but I post it nonetheless. And because it is described as 'Indie / Electronica'. Not sure if I ever heard that combination before. If you did, please let me know, and make a list below.

The Naked And Famous - The Sun

A: The Naked And Famous
S: The Sun
C: Passive Me, Agressive You

I wouldn't want to know how many songs I've posted by The Naked And Famous so far this year. You know, talking about diversity. But I do think they have released the best album of the year yet. Anyway, I decided that I should cut down on my consummation of coffee. Why? Because I can. So if these comments are starting to get boring, blame it on that. Some mint tea infusion isn't as rock'n'roll as caffein, after all.

Gusgus - Over

A: Gusgus
S: Over
C: Arabian Horse

They played Berlin last night (not that I've seen it) plus they named their album Arabian Horse (which features an actual horse on the cover) so I figure it's good enough to post on here. If you are craving for some band background information, here it comes: GusGus are from Reykjavík, Iceland. Initially formed as a film and acting collective, the group became mostly known for their electronic music.

Clubfeet - Count Your Lovers

A: Clubfeet
S: Count Your Lovers
C: Gold On Gold

Honestly, I love it. The video, the lyrics and the idea of the song. Abstract as it might be. Could you, I mean really? I couldn't. Depends on how you define lover, of course. I mean there's always like fifty-five-percent you want to forget about right away, then there are the ones you want to forget about eventually, and then there are the ones who forget you, and the ones you have nothing in common with.

‎02 ~ 10 ~ 2011 ~ The Lion King ~ Circle Of Life

A: ‎The Lion King
S: Circle Of Life
C: ‎The Lion King - OST

They say one should never lose the child within, no matter how old you are. So here it is, in all its glory, the child inside of me. Dedicating this to the only girl in the world who is visiting me on this most sunny weekend in a city called Berlin. By the way, I hope everybody noticed how i changed the ordinary dashes in the title of the song to some much more exciting, curvy ones. Whatever they are called.

Adele - Someone Like You

Adele ~ Someone Like You (Official Video) from Sandra~ on Vimeo.

A: Adele
S: Someone Like You
C: 21

Well it only took her like forever to release another video/single. Which was probably a not so stupid thing to do, having released 'Rolling In The Deep' before, which I consider, still, the song of the year. Anyway, here are two thoughts on Adele: I would love to hear an oh not so sad song by her. Plus I think '... never find I'll fcuk someone like you' would be a much funkier line.
