Hypnopop - February 5, 2009

I suppose I must have had this song in my head this morning because of their upcoming sophomore album, but I don't know why it would have been this particular song. I haven't heard it in months and months. Anyway:


Peter, Bjorn, and John

"Amsterdam"

Writer's Block

Hypnopop - February 1, 2009

Seems just about right to wake up with the following song in one's head on Candlemas:


Fleet Foxes

"Drops in the River"

Sun Giant

Hypnopop - January 30, 2009

Of all the songs I could have in my head when I wake up and get out of bed, I don't know that this is the one I'm most proud of. Nevertheless, it's catchy and I like it well enough - just not as much as some others by the same artists.

It's a Bee Gees cover, and Leslie Feist doesn't even perform it live in this arrangement (she opts for a slower, quieter, less dancy version) but this is the one I had on my cranium all morning. I'm a sucker for journalistic integrity.

Feist

"Inside and Out"

Let it Die

Hypnopop - January 17, 2009

It has been a while since I woke up with a song in my head, but today I did. It's the catchiest song to simultaneously turn me on and depress me in absolutely ages.

MGMT

'Time to Pretend'

Oracular Spectacular

I hate to admit it, but this is the song that I have had stuck in my head since I woke up this morning. I can't recall having heard it in ages, but there you go. My brain can play low level practical jokes on me, same as my iPod.

Electric Light Orchestra

'Living Thing'

A New World Record

Hypnopop - January 7, 2009

Today I woke up with this song in my head. I couldn't even remember what it was. I only remembered the drums and the nasal. I had to comb my iPod for the answer. Like finally finding the peg that fits the hole, it was immensely satisfying to finally hear those drums and the nose of Dan Bejar.


Destroyer

'Painter in Your Pocket'

Destroyer's Rubies




p.s. god, that's a great album cover.

As I've mentioned before on this blog, most days I wake up with a song already stuck in my head. Usually it isn't a song I've been listening to or have any discernible reason to be thinking of at all. Here's today's:

Grizzly Bear

'Knife'

Yellow House

Hypnopop - January 1, 2009

Most days I wake up with a song in my head. Usually it isn't a song I've heard recently or have any reason to be thinking about. It is always a different song.

Here's today's:

Bon Iver

'Re: Stacks'

For Emma, Forever Ago
