Useless Trivia

Mmmm. cognac...

In case anyone was wondering, this is the official 'ComaWatch 2005' mix, pieced together in the 6th floor waiting room of the Neural ICU at RIH. Bear in mind, I had only the cds in my car at the time of the accident. This is the soundtrack of my sister breathing through a tube, and if it is lame, so are comas...

Thinking of a Dream I Had
The Walkmen
A good song on a disappointing album. Why did they go from sounding like The Walkmen, to sounding like Bob Dylan circa 1966? This is a development path?

Banquet (Phones Disco Edit)
Bloc Party
I enjoy British accents. And drum machines. Plus, I can beat you up. Trust me. Say something.

The Back of Love
Echo and the Bunnymen
See previous entry.

Taste
Ride
I should hate these guys. See previous entry.

Staring at the Sun
TV on the Radio
I pray they keep going.

Part Company
The Go-Betweens
Semaine de Bonte is my hero.

Regret
New Order
I forgive them.

Glad Girls
Guided by Voices
I thought this was a Fooled by April song for about two years.

Dreams Burn Down
Ride
Christ, I should hate these guys.

Little House of Savages
The Walkmen
Bring back the antique piano, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean.

The Answer
Bloc Party
If you rip-off Gang of Four via Fugazi, it isn't as bad as being Radio 4.

You Can't Hurry Love
The Concretes
Karl, you were right. I owe you a beer. Come to Montreal.

Ai No Shirushi
Puffy AmiYumi
If you are a Japanese female between the ages of 18 and 30...call me.

You've Never Lived
The Go-Betweens
I will buy one of their cds for you. That is how good they are.

The Killing Moon
Echo and the Bunnymen
It was in Donnie Darko.

Neighborhood #2
The Arcade Fire
I refuse to hate bands that sound like the Pixies.

Carry Me Ohio
Sun Kil Moon
This is the most beautiful male voice I have ever heard. I assume he wrote it about someone he loved, who killed herself, or simply died, or was simply forgotten. When I hear this song, I see people crying in the fucking waiting room, and thinking.

Green green green

but what about the sweetness we knew

what about what's good, what's true

from those days?

...

Craving dreams

a million miles ago you seem

the star that i just don't see

anymore

Words long gone

lost on journeys we walked on

lost her voice is heard along

the way

Sorry for

never going by your door

never feeling love like that

anymore

Heal her soul

and carry her my angel

ohio
