The facts we hate
We’ll never meet walking down the road
Everybody yelling “hurry up, hurry up!”
But I’m waiting for you, I must go slow
I must not think bad thoughts
What is this world coming to?
Both sides are right but both sides murder
I give up, why can’t they?
I must not think bad thoughts
When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s vast
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home
life:
When John, Paul, George and Ringo first made it across the pond in 1964 to play before their adoring, screaming fans in the States — including, famously, performances on The Ed Sullivan Show that mark, for many people, the true beginning of rock and roll’s British Invasion — LIFE photographers were able to get some shots of the lads from Liverpool that capture their wry spirit, their charm, and their youth. (Were they really ever that young?)
Here, then, a short, fond selection of pictures from 1964, when a quartet of mop-topped Brits landed on America’s shores, plugged in their amps, and changed the world forever.
Back in 1964 no one would be saying “Who is Paul McCartney?” Psh…
hahaha awww so awkward cute!
Love this song. Love love love. Got to admit I love the Klaxons a lot.
Midi Song of the Week (aka Midi Monday)
Sugar Ray - Fly
Does your life ever feel like a shitty mid 90s movie? You know the kind were you a goofy teen or 20 something trying to figure it out and get the girl (or dude) and Sugar Ray plays far too often. Well this is the MIDI for you.
PS: Because we like the terrible we now encourage everyone to participate in MIDI Monday because you can help bring midi’s back. One Midi Monday at a time.
MIDIs really are the one true format for music and I approve of MIDI Monday.
Can’t stop listening to this.

Bubblegum Chillout of the Day: Soundcloud user Shamantis slows down Justin Bieber’s “U Smile” 800% (original), and suddenly the mop top bopper is “Sigur Rós doing Vangelis covers in a cathedral being washed away by the sea.”
No joke.
(For kicks, here’s Sigur Rós’s “Svefn-G-Englar” sped up 300% [mp3].)
[mefi.]
This is seriously amazing.
I’m sure everyone and their mum has seen this by now but it’s actually really good. I love ambience tho.
In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view
such longing for the past for such completion
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
I’ve become crueler in your presenceThey say: ‘be brave, there’s a right way and a wrong way’
This pain won’t last for ever, this pain won’t last for everTwo more years, there’s only two more years
Two more years, there’s only two more years
Two more years so hold onYou’ve cried enough this lifetime, my beloved polar bear
Tears to fill a sea to drown a beacon
To start anew all over, remove those scars from your arms
To start anew all over more enlightened
Bloc Party - Two More Years
This song came up on shuffle and I felt it was appropriate.
I’ve got a letter that’s full of our secrets
The last one you sent to me
The last one you sent to me, oh
What shall I do with a life turned to memory ?
I tried to forget you
I tried to forget you
Where shall I go when I wake from a dream of you ?
I tried to forget you
I tried to forget you
It’s early evening here but whatever. IT MIGHT BE MORNING WHERE YOU ARE.
This video was stupidly hard to find on youtube. Oh well, worth it. I’m not in Jpop these days but I still love this song.
