mountaineer musings: clean sweep!!!

tiny fragments of perfection

if i was all the colors, i would paint you pretty in gold in a picture. (jason mraz/zero percent interest).
as i took him in my arms he screamed i'm not insane i'm just looking for someone to understand my pain... (five for fighting/the devil in the wishing well)
only the curious have something to find (nickel creek/this side)
you dream of colors that have never been made, you imagine songs that have never been played (this side/nickel creek)
it's when you cry just a little but you laugh in the middle that you've made it (jason mraz/tonight, not again)
don't try to fix me, i'm not broken (evanescence/hello)

another whole box of pandora's

i'm not the kind of man who tends to socialize/ i seem to lean on old familiar ways/ and i ain't no fool for love songs that whisper in my ears/ still crazy after all these years (paul simon / still crazy after all these years)
but there's something in the way you laugh that makes me feel like a child... aspects of life they confuse me, you and your thesis amuse me... after and afternoon with you... and your rich brown eyes your lips and your dark hair, elbows and exposed knees tossing toward the ceiling... after an afternoon... (jason mraz/ after an afternoon)

a long awaited end

face to palm... tear to tear... mouth to tongue... heart to ground... i am in love... (jason mraz/ after an afternoon)
there's no place to hide but i don't think i'm scared. (nickel creek/this side)
with a broken wing, she carries her dreams. man you oughta see her fly. (a broken wing / martina mcbride)

clean sweep!!!

ah, well it's about time!! congratulations to peter jackson and all of the hobbits, elves, dwarves and wizards!! The Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King swept the oscars, as it should have. the only disappointments were the self-important folks who won acting oscars. sean "gag-me" penn and tim "go jump in a lake" robbins are two of the most self-important of the hollywood self-importants. shockingly and thankfully, between their two speeches, the only offensive political statement came when gag-me penn pretended to know more about WMDs than the smart people running the u.s. government.

congratulations!!

the great babe war

buy Frank's tshirts
some stuff the great Frank J said about me...
"Beautiful, deadly with a gun, and fellow Alias fan"
"There she is, the IMAO T-Shirt Babe, There she is, your ideal, The dreams of a million girls Who are more than pretty May come true if they punch a hippy, Oh she may turn out to be The queen of femininity, There she is, the IMAO T-Shirt Babe, There she is, your ideal With so much ammo She'll take the town by storm, With her all-American face and form, And there she is, Firing in the air she is, Fairest of the fair she is, The IMAO T-Shirt Babe"
yowza*

don't make me sissify you

please keep the comments "cussin'"-free, and no taking of the Lord's name in vain (including in initials form and in euphemistic form). my grama reads my blog, and i don't like those words either. if you post something i don't like, i will change your wording to make you sound like a sissy.
p.s. if you're a troll, i reserve the right to either wingardium leviosa your butt (which means delete and ban you), or the more fun option, to put a pretty bonnet on your head and lead you around on a lovely purple leash and make you do my bidding. yay!!

atomship: atomship
first found out about them from frank's ad. really like their sound. bought the cd yesterday, it's good.
chantal kreviazuk: what if it all means something?
dierks bentley: dierks bethly
drew sent me this off my wish list for my birthday! i love dierks's voice.
Josh Gracin: Josh Gracin
The Other Little Soldier is great, and i'm also diggin' Brass Bed. Nothin' to Lose is fun and reminds me of that barbeque-stain song from Tim M.
Five for Fighting: The Battle for Everything
yes, i know jon ondrasik is one of the yummiest hockey fans out there, but don't let that stop you from hearing his fabulous voice. mmm.
the dave matthews band: before these crowded streets
my very favorite dmb album
dave matthews band: the central park concert
5 of the best musicians in the world. and hands-down the best live concert band in the world. try to prove me wrong.
chants from the holyland- graz gregorian chants school of austria: cd9-pilgrimage to dormition abbey-the graz gregorian chant school
i can't understand a word of this, as it's in a foreign language, but it is my favorite heads-down-pencils-up work cd, and a favorite nappy time cd, too. which sometimes makes me want to take naps at work.
travis: good feeling
another one of juan's tips.
Various Artists: cold mountain
jack white is awesome and very exposed on here, alison krauss is glorious as ever. the whole cd is excellent.
jason mraz: live at java joe's
warning - there are some "colorful" things in this album, so don't say i didn't warn you. live at java joe's is great, showcases jason's fabulous voice, adorable humor, mellow guitar, and smart lyrics. oh, and toca rivera is awesome. make sure you listen to "after an afternoon", the best love song ever.
beth orton: pass in time: the definitive collection
i can do without the dance remixes, but i love everything else.
from chaos: demo....
the best heavy metal i've heard in a long time. but i must admit i'm a little biased. my big bro and my cousin are in the band. for samples, go here.
evanescence: fallen
"my immortal" is so beautiful, but it might not even be as beautiful as "hello" -- i cannot get enough of them!!
joseph arthur: redemption's son
joseph, you are the honey and the moon that lights up my nights. i love you.
michael giacchino: alias [soundtrack]
ok, so i'm an alias freak. it's the best television soundtrack ever.
