earfood for the soul.. oh please.

for some reason, my music playlist are.. kinda shit! i've spent much time skipping track by track rather than listening to a piece as a whole, if skipping far too often is a kind of a norm, then i'd preffered to spent that valuable little time doing things like, file my nails or some sort.. good music are hard to come by, or so rather.. i think, depending on individual prefference. my playlist are mostly consist of shitty music and it is far outnumbered the good ones.

[good] as in my definition, is for a well written piece, pure, honest, cool composition, music that could reflect/deflect your inner insanity depending on your mood or, the six piece elements as some would describe it; happy, anger, sad, nuts, fear, worry.

yes i'm no shit when i mentioned the latter two, some music does gives you a slight hint of worries like.. as if it could related to you by any sorts of means, depending on how deep the lyricist could penned down the whole story. the best way to uncover a music is by through the words of the songwriter afterall anyway. be it punk or pop or hip-hop, classical or metal, rnb and countless more shit stuffs.

but i need help! no, my mp3 needs help. i need a recommendation! i'd say i fairly listens to wide range of stuffs, so i'm not that hard to please. the only thing i can't stand is boybands-rocsktar wannabe.. old school techno; aqua/vengaboys, kylie minogue.. or that chinese new year songs you played the whole entire occasion for fuck sake.




here's my current addicts.. some might be old but it's my reccomendation anyway.






Matt Pond PA - so much troubles.

if a band would played a cello or violin, i'll dig espacialy this
very GardenState-esque. good for chill-out or a hideaway on the roof top of nowhere.

Fiona Apple - across the universe
originally by the beatles, various bands does a cover versions over it but sounds nothing much sensible like fiona does. paper bags and partinng gifts are some of her songs i would plucked out worth mentioning for.


Nirvana - something in the way [acoustic unplugged]

this is an examples of song that intrigues me in the not amusing way. dark, eerie, melancholy tones that sets the classic kurt cobain's suicidal persona.

John Mayer - heart of life [acoustic version]
i always wanted to learn a finger tapping guitar skills, with a little blues licks into it. this song however, better to ignore than learn to play it. can't afford to slit my finger while aggresively pressing down the fretboard sliding and tapping.


Avenged Sevenfold
- buried alive

ever since i listened to a7x through the influenced by my brothers, i thought metal-core are perpetually out of sync, guitar-driven pieces that juxtaposed in a complicated sequence, complicated solos.. fry screaming, death chord screaming. i think this open doors to many current metal-core bands that i thought i've already knew about it. buried alive is sort of.. pardon if i would say, a medium ballad at first and fiery angsty by the end. lyrically wise, it's something the grim reaper would proud of, not mentioning the probably coolest guitar solos and riffs by a7x. best listening to when you wanna rip someone's soul out. seriously.

Powderfinger - My Happiness
reminds me of my childhood days listening to it on the fm radios. i'm a bit nostalgic sometimes.


Elliot Smith
- between the bars

a lullaby? i would love to think so. it puts me into sleeps. simple-wise lyrics it's somehow has that very much similiarity to 'i'll follow you into the dark'' by death cab for cuties.


Lifehouse - learn you inside out
jason wade, mark wilkerson, gavin rossdale.. why do they sound alike? anyway, out of that matter, lifehouse produce some of the best lovey-dovey songs that i could only listening to. no fret that most of lifehouse songs does somehow make sense to me like, as if you're trying to or hoping to patch up your ruin relationship with your love-partner. best listening when you could'nt understand her or you could'nt understand him. or maybe you both should do.


The Fray - you found me

oh yeah.. refer up.


Marina and the Diamonds - Hollywood (Acoustic)
i'd preffer the acoustic version better than the original, it has that circus effect, the bass note i mean :D


Soulfly - bleed
the collabration with fred durst doesn't make it justice to nu-metal however, old ones. try munch your mouth full of rice and scream "bleed!! bleed!! bleed!!" to have that max cavalera gorgly screams. and oh his guitar.. fuckinout.


Incubus - a certain shade of green
incubus fans! i know this is old. i just love the adrenaline rush of it, like being chased by a bunch of stray dogs.
listening to when : being chased by a bunch of stray dogs.


Strays Don't Sleep – For Blue Skies
reallllllllyyy slow moving, dont listen to it if you’re looking for something upbeat. this one is like The Shins meets The Nothing Song by Sigur Ros.



Now, please help me!! recommends me!!! your turn!!!
