Ambulance LDT – New English & Country Gentleman
(New English EP, USA, 2006.)
Perfect soundtrack to lazy summer days spent on the beach.

Smashing Pumpkins – The Boy
(B-Side of 1979, USA, 1996.)
One of my favourite James Iha-Smashing Pumpkins songs. Embodies the pureness, innocense, naivety and insecurity of being in love.

ZWAN – El Sol
(Mary Star Of The Sea, USA, 2002.)
And while we’re at it (Billy Corgan et al), a wonderfully light ZWAN song that fits the season :)

Architecture in Helsinki – Wishbone
(In Case We Die, Australia, 2005.)
A very addictive, cute-sy song that might send you bouncing through the whole house.

Editors – French Disco
(All Sparks EP, UK, 2006.)
A Stereolab cover, but done in a purely Editors-style. I want to have sex with Tom’s voice.

Schrottgrenze – Am gleichen Meer
(Chateau Schrottgrenze, Germany, 2006.)
While the music might not be exactly on the innovative side of things, the lyrics are disquietingly realistic.

Shout Out Louds – A Track And A Train
(Howl Howl Gaff Gaff, Sweden, 2005.)
Just a nice little song to sing along to.

Seachange – In
(On Fire, With Love, UK, 2006.)
Oh, I love their new album but this song in particular because it features the most addictive chorus ever, it just makes me dizzy, literally. Fantastic lyrics!

Stars – Calendar Girl
(Set Yourself On Fire, Canada, 2005.)
This song keeps a perfect balance of beauty and pathos. Highly recommended.

OMG, semester break. I’d be all hyper and jumping all over the place with joy if only the massive heat wasn’t getting me down so much. Consider me one giant sweatdrop.

But yes, semester break. I shall get back to my habits of getting up late, watching anime and dorama, reading (oh yes!) and going out till early in the morning. Getting up late was what I did today, anime and dorama will be watched in a few minutes, as soon as I finish this. I have so much to catch up with: Mushishi, Eureka SeveN, Ergo Proxy, .hack//Roots, Ai no uta. I’m pretty much stuck in the middle of almost all of them. Then I’ll need to find out what the summer season has brought us anime viewers. Ah, so nice to back to doing nothing particularly productive :)

…Even if it’s just for a short while. I’ll be moving to a larger, nicer apartment with a friend at the beginning of August and I also have one report to write and a few smaller things to get done for school. I’m quite happy with my academic progress and I think I did pretty well on all the semester finals.

June was my favourite month of this year so far. The World Cup was absolutely brilliant, the city was brimming with people, the atmosphere was just amazing. I also saw the Arctic Monkeys on June 24. It was only so-so, the monkey boys were late and drunk and their performance seemed quite uninspired but loads of fun was had nevertheless. We even missed the second half of the Germany-Sweden game to get to the venue. Oh well. My World Cup experience pretty much ended on July 1, when England lost to Portugal. I was with Germany from then on but they didn’t survive much longer either. *sighs*

I’ll probably be uploading new songs tonight. Expect updates on a more regular basis from now on. Oh yes, I’ll be back whenever boredom strikes ;)
