Air - Surfing on a Rocket.

“Time for flying rockets, for silver jets, for surfing bombs.”

I’m pretty sure that Friday is time for all of those things. And by “bombs” I of course mean Jagerbombs. Pony up.

Belle & Sebastian - Lazy Line Painter Jane.

“You are in two minds, tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your folks about a dose of thrush you got while you were licking railings. But you read in a book that you got free in Boots. There are lotions, there are potions you can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes.”

The perfect song to kick off the weekend. So liberating.

SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF AUTUMN #30.

“Though to say we got much hope. If I am lost it’s only for a little while.”

A little banjo for an Autumn night.

Wilco - Jesus, Etc.

SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF AUTUMN #29.

“Your voice is smoking. Last cigarette’s all you can get, turning your orbit around.”

Ah Wilco, you make Autumn either more sweet or depressing. Time for Seasonal Affect Disorder to start.

Radiohead versus Robert Palmer - Every Kind of Creep.

“What the hell am I doing here?”

You’d be a creep not to find this groovily melancholy.

Stars - Calendar Girl.

SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF AUTUMN #28.

“But I can’t live forever, I can’t always be. One day I’ll be sand on a beach by a sea. The pages keep turning, I’ll mark off each day with a cross, and I’ll laugh about all that we’ve lost.”

Who needs a calendar when you can listen to the Stars?

Fuck Buttons - Flight of the Feathered Serpent

Prepare for tinnitus. Set volume: 11. Engage hearing damage.

Looks like it’s time to dust off my favorite last.fm tag ever.

Death Cab For Cutie - Tiny Vessels.

“Tiny vessels oozed into your neck and formed the bruises, that you said you didn’t want to fade, But they did, and so did I that day”

Animal Collective - What Would I Want? Sky

You’re not the only

one that treats new Animal Collective like a surprise present.

Here’s a track that you may be familiar with if you’ve seen AC live, but it will be present on their upcoming EP Fall Be Kind.

Good stuff. Listen up, soak it in.

Broken Social Scene - Lover’s Spit.

“You know it’s time. That we grow old and do some shit. I like it all that way”

I know I’ve posted this before, but its such a defining Broken Social Scene song, in my opinion.

Passion Pit - Little Secrets.

I dont know what it is about these guys that make this hipster dance and (try to) sing like no one is watching. Fun video!

Beach House - Norway.

This is Beach House’s new single off of their upcoming 2010 release Teen Dreams. Devotion was a personal favorite of mine in 2008, hopefully Teen Dreams can top that.

If you like the song, Beach House is offering it as a free download on their website!!

Grizzly Bear - Knife

Can’t you feel the knife?

Sometimes, I pretend to myself that Grizzly Bear is actually singing about The Knife.

Although it’s not true, no one ever said that the boys of Grizzly Bear weren’t fans.

A hipster can have his dreams, can’t he? Can you even imagine a collaboration between Grizzly Bear and The Knife? I can. Too bad it’s one of those bands that will only ever play live shows in the basement of my mind. Sorry everyone.

The Decemberists - The Crane Wife 1 and 2

And all the stars were crashing ‘round.

Don’t miss the Leonid shower tonight — if you can help it.

Visually stunning video from The xx, for their single Basic Space. Pretty jealous of these kids, just a little.

Elliott Smith - Say Yes

A happy day and then you pay and feel like shit the morning after.

If this isn’t a song for Sundays, I don’t know what is.

Dntel - (This is) The Dream of Evan and Chan

I won’t let go, I won’t let go.

I won’t let go of my hopes that one day Gibbard and Tamborello will put out more Postal Service material - but we all know that won’t happen.
