"Surround me like a warm bath.
Sum me up like an epitaph.
Be blatant as a bailiff.
I want my lips to blister when we kiss"
Wild Beasts - Bed of Nails (via amalgatorium)

Benoît Pioulard is releasing a new album soon. Here’s a new song which sounds insanely good. Can’t freaking wait!

"I cannot count the times I have cursed our lack of urgency. If I ever love again, I will not wait to love as best as I can. We thought we were young and that there would be time to love well sometime in the future. This is a terrible way to think. It is no way to live, to wait to love."

Conversations: The Weepies
I talked to them about recording at home, touring with their kids, and the surprising inspiration for their song World Spins Madly On. Hope you enjoy as much as I did writing this!

"It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing. It hurts so much. When I feel someone is going to leave me, I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story. I really love this one. When I think that its over, that I’ll never see him again like this… well yes, I’ll bump into him, we’ll meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we had never been together, then we’ll slowly think of each other less and less until we forget each other completely. Almost. Always the same for me. Break up, break down. Drunk up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another, fuck around. Forget the one and only. Then after a few months of total emptiness start again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one, until that one is gone as well. There’s a moment in life where you can’t recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him. And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else’s kisses."
Marion, 2 Days in Paris (2007)

I Belong In Your Arms” by Chairlift

All of me
Honestly
Is dedicated to hold you

Swear to god
Double knot
What would you do if I stole you
Tonight
Why waste time

Cause the world goes on without us
It doesn’t matter what we do
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I’m melting into you
I belong in your arms


STUCK IN MY HEAD.

No Rest
Dry The River

No Rest” by Dry The River

I loved you in the best way possible.

They completely blew me away last night. They were so freaking good. I can’t stress that enough! Everyone should listen to this band. Forget the Bon Iver comparisons, guys. They have a sound of their own and it’s amazing. Eargasmic. There, I used that word.

This may sound weird, but this is the song that best describes my Vegas trip.

Tourists” by Bright Moments

Kelly Pratt was a member of Beirut who recently left to focus on his new band, Bright Moments. He has also played with Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem. You need to buy his album Natives because it’s perfect. I’m not even exaggerating.
