love-hate relationship songssong of the day:
1. The Book of Right On by Joanna Newsom
this is absolutely the strangest song that has ever caught my attention and rocketed me into a pleasant state of mellow bliss. the first time i heard this song, i detested it. in all truth, her voice is truly smacking of a drowning redwood squirrel, and occasionally the lyrics move past the boundary of sobriety. but the smooth way that the harp blends the sometimes extraterrestrial pieces of this song together is magical, and that overrides all negativity. some people will adore this girl and her light and quirky music, some will abhor it. i love it.

2. Bonjour Jeune Fille by The Blow
the blow is the best thing since slice bread, and i don't say that lightly. "bonjour jeune fille" (french for 'hello young girl') is springy and very dance-club. this song should be in the library of all high-school french students, as it is fairly easy to pick apart the lyrics with their easily understandable canadian accents. some tend to hate the blow as too simplistic and under-produced. i tend to whole heartedly and vigorously disagree.

3. Summer's the Worst by Michael Leviton
this boy's music is somewhere between a dream and a lullaby. it's achingly mellow and beachy. his voice is like thin-grained sandpaper: refined, with a touch of rawness. the accordian music is insane. heavy metal fans will think he is a pansy, but i love it. check out the music video, too.
