ambientlightit has been ages, but here's a music post. i am not up to writing tempting descriptions of the songs, sadly.
The Weakerthans - Leash
the weakerthans with a little bit more of an edge. if you haven't listened to the weakerthans before... you should? they have songs from the point of view of a housecat! a song entitled "Our Retired Explorer (Dines With Michel Foucault In Paris, 1961)"!
The Notwist - Good Lies
i like the notwist because they are kind of like electronica with a soul? i feel that most of their songs are quiet and melancholic without being wallow-y.
Erik Hassle - Stay Away
Erik Hassle - Arrows
bought this album (mariefred sessions) because it was a collab with kent, haha. the english lyrics are hilariously awkward (or just hilarious) in parts, and the album on the whole is so poppy that it hurts (at least to me, since i haven't listened to pop music in ages). but i guess it's the sort of pop i can get behind? i really like the first song; the second song is the least poppy one on the album, whiiich should give you an idea of what the rest is like.
