Motorcycle Driveby (Third Eye Blind)

Motorcycle Driveby on YouTube

Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
in lower Chelsea
And I don’t know what I’m doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the windows
And I’m sleeping on the couch
When I came to visit you
That’s when I knew
That I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I’m the one who’s stupid
And there’s this burning
Like there’s always been
I’ve never been so alone
And I’ve
Never been so alive
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes and you don’t mind
you smile
And say the world it doesn’t fit with you
I don’t believe you
You’re so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt
You’re guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you

And there’s things I’d like to do
That you don’t believe in
I would like to build something
But you’ll never see it happen
And there’s this burning
Like there’s always been
I’ve never been so alone
And I’ve
I’ve never been so alive

And there’s this burning
There is this burnin

Where’s the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything
But I could never do that
Someone would see through that
And this is the last time
We’ll be friends again
And I’ll get over you
And you’ll wonder who I am
And there’s this burning,
Just like there’s always been
I’ve never been so alone, alone
And I’ve, and I’ve
I’ve never been so alive

So alive

I go home to the coast it starts to rain I paddle out on the water
Alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I’m not thinking of you again
Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming
To take me
Home

And I never been so alone
And I’ve never been so alive

Circumaural Headphones

Any suggestions on circumaural headphones (cans that go all the way over the ear) in the $50-150 price range? I’m looking for something that works well for both audio production and portable use with an iPod.

Awesome Indie Rock: Spoon

I was poking around eMusic trying to find things to spend my leftover downloads, and I found this rare and relatively unknown jewel: Spoon’s Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Yes, the title is ridiculous. The music, however, is not. I am not a huge fan of the “indie” genre- I love independent bands, sure, but the kind of music that has been labeled as “indie rock” never really interested me. This album, however, is an amazingly good exception.Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga mixes driving guitars with some great instrumentation not normally found on a rock album -  ”You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb” makes ample usage of baritone saxophones and vibraphone backing. Their lyrics are both deep and playful, and each song has a uniqueness reminiscent of the Beatles.Spoon reminds me of - and surpasses - other similar groups like Arcade Fire and Cold War Kids. This album in specific makes me feel like I’m listening to Rubber Soul for the first time.
