If you dig chicks smashing shit up with baseball bats, tearing up convenience stores, setting stuff on fire, and just generally running amok, then Birds Of Tokyo’s clip for When The Night Falls Quiet is for you! And if you haven’t yet purchased their brilliant album March Fires, rectify that immediately.

Misandrist Music’s first garden-variety submission! This song, Coin Operated Boy, expresses the deep emotional pain of looking for a life-mate and equal partner among one’s male inferiors. Don’t worry, Amanda Palmer, robotics is getting better and better all the time! -Ms. Andrea Twerkin’
satisfy myself
avoid beginners
who long to shut my mouth
til i take one of them home
cause i know how it feels
filling in the blanks
looking on the bright side
when there is no bright side
coming in your pants
for the off chance with a
poster of a girl
Metric - Poster Of A Girl
Must reblog this video into my Tumblr every once in a while, it’s mandatory!
Although, it still bugs me how the French verses get chopped up in the video :/ Especially that she only sings, “Car je connais la sensation de chercher le fil d’or” and not “et de ne jamais le trouver,” which comes immediately afterwards, and would seem to be critically important to the meaning of the whole line.
But I guess not because she doesn’t sing it ~lol~
So after many listens I’ve decided I do in fact very much enjoy this new Birds Of Tokyo track. A lot. Whilst This Fire is no Plans, it’s still a big and anthemic tune with an edgy video clip that sees lots of scary looking stuff going up in flames.
I’m still not in love with this song, unlike their last album, and it turned out that the song is kinda the best track on the EP. Still, an acceptable-yet-not-amazing Birds of Tokyo song > 95% of all other music sooooooo oh well. PS if you like fire you will like this video.
Best Coast — Crazy For You
Someone posted a GIF from this video a few days ago on Tumblr and I just had to find the whole thing. How good is it?! In a very silly way of course, but still…
“Want to hate you but then I kiss you, want to kill you but then I’d miss you…”
Crowd Surf off a Cliff / Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton
Cursed with a love that you can’t express
It’s not for a fuck, or a kiss
Rather give the world away than wake up lonely
Everywhere and every way I see you with me
Birds of Tokyo - If This Ship Sinks (I Give In)
and here’s a video someone made for it, featuring lots of marine life! so beautiful. (the song and the video, just for the record.)
Some days I really, really love this song (and especially this video), and today is one of those days :P
I’m not sure my family appreciated me playing it on repeat for uh, an hour or two, but too bad so sad for them :D
