Ingrid Michaelson - I Will Follow You Into the Dark (Live)
Originally by Death Cab For Cutie
Today was one of those lazy Saturdays where there’s nothing much to do except to spend an entire afternoon watching live concert videos on YouTube, and finding gems like this amazing cover just as the sun is setting, making all that time wastage kind of worth it. (Download the sort of cleaned-up version here.)
Hollywood - Audiocean
For tinytractor, and anyone particularly interested in local (singapore) music.
This is insane.. I know Sarah because we used to work at Pan Pac together before I got fired for coming to work late. Like I wanted to go to work at 7AM for 6 bucks an hour please. This is really nice though.
Was so looking forward to them :<
Michael Giacchino
“Labor Of Love”
Star Trek (2009)From the scene where George Kirk sets the U.S.S. Kelvin for a collision course with Nero’s ship, and in the span of a minute or so picks a name out for his son - Jim - and tells his wife Winona that he loves her. Truly one of the most heartbreaking scenes from the entire Trek oeuvre.
Love love love this track.
This was a brilliant scene, and the track worked wonderfully — just the right mix of poignancy and triumph.
Motion City Soundtrack - Better Open the Door
Our hell ends every weekend
But it’s all I have to believe in
Gonna hang onto this tune as I prepare to book into a new camp and face new levels of shit
From playing around with the Korg nanoKEY yesterday. Gonna have to bring it to Wheelock later because the low F is only registering about half the proper velocity.

Coldplay - Sparks.
(sparkly brought to you by: joshawesome)Classic Coldplay, before they started dressing like the ancestors of The Wiggles. From Parachutes, one of my favorite albums of all time, “Sparks” is a perfect song to fall asleep to… My only advice is not to drink Sparks, as it is loaded with caffeine and will make your heart and liver explode rather than help you sleep.
I love this song. I played it once with miah for an unplugged set at some alumni event, and nobody was really listening, because they were all too busy pretending to be interested in catching up with people they didn’t really know from long ago, but it was awesome anyway.
In other news I nearly heard Viva la Vida at Timbre on Saturday. The guys were all ZOMG JUSTIN THIS IS COLDPLAY so I promptly went to the bathroom. Eight months and I have not heard a single song off the new album. Go me.
The Observatory - The Absentee
An unreleased track from their 2005 album Blank Walls, The Absentee was somehow the first I’d heard of local experimental legends The Observatory, and I’m glad I had the patience to sit through it back when I was young(er) and stupid(er) and buried in Top 40’s pop-rock shite. Thoughtful and mellow, the song wanders from motif to motif, but always with deliberate, steady steps. It’s sorta like what Radiohead’s Hunting Bears would sound like if it’d been about taking a walk along the outskirts of the city in the quiet just before rush hour instead of, you know, hunting bears.
