greatest songs of all time: "Girl Don't Tell Me"


i mean "God Only Knows" and "Don't Worry Baby" are nice and all, but for my money the best song the Beach Boys ever recorded is "Girl Don't Tell Me". it's fucking perfect pop. sad, romantic, the soundtrack of a summer night driving alone wishing you could see the girl you love. un-fucking-deniable.

Happy 4th of July



Youth of america
Is living in the jungle
Fighting for survival with the wrong place to go
Youth of america
There's pressure all around
The walls are coming down the walls are crumbling down on you

It is time we rectify this now
We've got to feel it now
Got to feel it now, now, now...
Whoa!

They attack you from the right side
Down the left side
Down the middle 'til you don't know who you are

Stick around because it don't really matter
They'll try to put you 6 feet under the ground

It is time we rectify this now
We've got to heal it now
Got to heal it now, now, now...
Whoa!

It is time we rectify this now
We've got to save it now
Got to save it now, now, now...
Whoa!

(Whisper)
The rich get richer and the poorer get poorer get poorer...
Now there's no place left to go...
Got to get off this rot...
You don't wanna be born here again?
I don't wanna be born here again...
Man, this just ain't no existence...
Beware of those guys in disguise...
We're living in the jungle, fighting for survival
Can't wait much longer, hurry...

Ahhhhhhhhhhh.....
Take the risk...Let it expand your imagination...
Take it...
We have no place left...
No place left
No place left
No place left to go
Ahhhhhhhhhhh...

They attack you from the right side
Down the left side
Down the middle 'til you don't know who you are

Stick around because it don't really matter
They'll try to put you 6 feet under the ground...

It is time we rectify this now
We've got to feel it now
Got to feel it now, now, now
Whoa!

Youth of america
Youth, youth, youth, youth, youth, youth, youth, youth

Youth of america
Youth, youth, youth, youth, youth, you, you, you...

the greatest songs of all time: "Ca Plane Pour Moi"

nothing like a little Belgian punk rock to start the day. i don't care where you are or who you are with, if you put on the Plastic Bertrand classic "Ca Plane Pour Moi" at a party then motherfuckers will start dancing.

the greatest songs of all time: Psycho Killer

not trying to make a joke about this weekend's tragedy in Athens at all...but this song was far too relevant to not post today.



i hope everyone in Athens is staying safe and i hope the cops catch that motherfucker sooner than later.

on a random note, when are Vampire Weekend gonna get called out for ripping off the Talking Heads? don't feed me that Afrobeat line...it's pretty obvious from the preppy clothes to the guitar lines where those kids stole their act from.

the greatest songs of all time: In The City

yesterday's anglophilia is back for a 2nd round.

one of the greatest opening lines of all time, "In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you" plus an intro by Tony Wilson who makes a point of calling out elitist snobs. god, i fucking love The Jam.
