Such a beautiful song.

PERFECTION:

^ Was listening to Bon Iver, Bon Iver earlier today. Nice one, Brett.


On an unrelated note, here's a long, looooong overdue tribute to lighthouse keepers and the fine work they do.

Awesome video for this first one, too.






Disclaimer: Would have otherwise included My Friend The Red Velvet Cake's "Lighthouse Keeper", but I'm not really a fan of the song.

 

[The Other Dean]

And a couple of songs by some actual Lighthouse Keepers.

(Excellent Sydney indie band from the 80's.)





Who kinda sorta went on to become these guys.....

 

[RoOGrrrl]

Not enough actual recognition for Lighthouse Keepers'. Such a lonely career choice.

 

[The Other Dean]

Their service to the 'maritime' industry is unparalleled.

(Very cool band formed by a dude from The Promise Ring and a dude from The Dismemberment Plan.)

 

[GarnerSmash]

Sometimes the most simple songs have the greatest impact. This for me is as close to perfection as I have heard.

Ahhh memories. Had quite a few fine nights seeing the Lighthouse Keepers in my youthful days in Sydney.

Thanks for the reminder!

^ Glad to be of service, bs. Lot of fine bands playing in Sydney back then.

And actual venues for them to play in.

 

[The Other Dean]

Back on dry land.....some classic Pavement, and the parts of its sum.









Fear not, I'm almost out of alcohol so I'll stop soon.

More (semi-)local (old) gold....

 

[The Other Dean]

Random and sans words....

 

[The Other Dean]

And....







Okay, that'll do.

I remember reading this a few months ago when a writer described the song:

"Yorke’s singing is at its most ethereal here, almost as if he’s playing an angel giving this advice to some lost soul standing at the water’s edge"

I think he was bang on!

 

[RoOGrrrl]

Just played on ABC DiG. Have gotta lotta "love" for these guys:

[ShinbonerBaz]

Great song, iconic band, my fave is this one, I've posted in here before.

 

[RoOGrrrl]

Okay, time for some Birdman...

Okay, time for some Birdman...

Reminds me of "Hard 'n' Fast" at Chasers on Wednesday nights back in the day.

 

[RoOGrrrl]

 

[GarnerSmash]

Quite enjoy a bit of these guys from time to time



And these guys too

 

[The Other Dean]

^ Two excellent bands, B.

(And both with male/female leads that bonk each other.)

Particularly dig the former band.


Anyhoo, excellent track mentioned in the 'CD changer' thread. Deserves an airing.

This'll wake you up.



And the mighty McLusks in a rare moment of sweetness.
