maypirateOkay, before I do my official Ycon leaving message, I wanted to post these, since I blather about them all the time.
There are five albums in this world that I conside to be "perfect." I always have to listen to them all the way through, and they invoke a myriad of emotions and memories as well as being musically stunning in my mind.
So here are my favorite two within that masterful five. Hope y'all will give them a chance and download them. They're all zipped, but I've posted the track order here, and the ones with stars next to them mean they're extra special-happy-I-love songs.
Weezer - Pinkerton(zip)
This is, in my mind, the most perfect rock/alternative/whatever album ever created, which deals with the crucial themes of sex, asian women, and sex with asian women. It's cynical, snarky, witty and beautiful, and it never stops being amazing. It was utterly panned when it came out and I've never understood why. It is, probably, my favorite CD in the history of time.
1. Tired of Sex
2. Getchoo
3. No Other One
4. Why Bother?*
5. Across the Sea*
6. The Good Life
7. El Scorcho*
8. Pink Triangle
9. Falling For You*
10. Butterfly
Bic Runga - Beautiful Collision (zip)
I bought this CD Thanksgiving Day 2003 in Japan, and it's incredibly special and personal to me, especially the songs that remind me of Osaka and Tokyo. It's also beautiful and her voice is gorgeous, and it's one of the few albums Don and I can agree on these days in our mystical worlds of opposing musical interests.
I would wait all day in the rain to see this woman. I would.
1. When I See You Smile
2. Get Some Sleep*
3. Something Good
4. Precious Things
5. The Be All and End All
6. Election Night
7. Honest Goodbyes
8. She Left On a Monday
9. Beautiful Collision
10. Listening For the Weather*
11. Counting the Days
12. Gravity
13. Good Morning, Baby
14. Sway
And just because it's thematically appropriate: Guster - "Airport Song"
Please download and if you like, let me know what you think! :D
