listen closer

it's just you that feels like shit today.

sci-fi lullaby "moonshine"
quite awhile back now, in mp3.com's heyday, i discovered this band, who had a couple charttopper's there. they've never released a proper cd to my knowledge, soooo no one has ever heard of them outside of there from what i can tell. though, they did cover a song for the trailer of stuck on you and i heard them on a jukebox in buffy once. but this lack of publicity takes nothing away from their sugary vocals, and gorgeous melodies. i dunno what to call them really, pretty power pop? i could never get tired of this stuff. most all their songs are jampacked with buzzes and squeals and guitars and handclaps, and this one's no expection. but it's all about the vocals. when the piano chimes in during "it's not just you that feels like shit today / there must be something in the food" !!!!! yes!!

sci-fi lullaby "over the clover"
it wasn't easy at all for me to choose which songs to post, but i think the chirping keyboard three keyboard hits after the "it was my mistake..." chorus part is what gets me here. when i listen to a lot of music, i become obsessed with certain sounds. i've liked entire sounds based on one moment of audio bliss that i can always wait for. something that just hits me in the right place. more sweet alterna-pop greatness here.

sci-fi lullaby "dirty"
depeche mode meets blur, this song made me fall in love with this band. a love song about blasphemy. "so if god calls / tell him i'm on the phone / with something more beautiful / then you will ever have the chance to know." not much else i can say besides, hear this!
