apples to peaches



song of the day:
1. A-Punk by Vampire Weekend

vw has been featured on here before, but they certainly deserve it again. i have no idea what they say in this song, except that i caught the words "new mexico" and "bottom of the sea", and he says something smacking of "rain coats" or "rain goats". we're going with rain coats. my sister and i are incurably obsessed with this band. they're definately worth your time.
Vampire Weekend: A-Punk
2. Portions for Foxes by Rilo Kiley
i'm well aware that rilo kiley is a fairly mainstream indie band, but i never get tired of jenny lewis. best i'm-over-you line: "i know i'm alone if i'm with or without you".
Rilo Kiley: portions for foxes
3. Samson by Regina Spektor
i'm a big regina spektor fan. while i'm especially partial to a lot of her earlier work ("Love Affair" and "2.99 Cent Blues") her latest album is my favorite. the lyrics to this song are profound without being too sticky-sweet, and almost makes one want to cry.
Regina Spektor: Samson
