Caro's Favorite Songs: Part 5

Blonde Redhead-Spring and By Summer Fall
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2G9EZfhAc8
All the echo and reverb atmosphere you could possibly ask for.
"Tell me where you've been tell me what you saw"
.
El Guincho-Antillas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2tpUK1nwvU
Anytime you want a touch of Mardi Gras to thunder through your house, turn this up.
.
Frou Frou-Psychobabble
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u997E7kQy8
Is it bad that I enjoy songs that get into the back of my head and give me the creeps? Plus, Imogen Heap is a goddess.
"Why are you so quiet, so suddenly?"
.
Caribou-Sandy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dnlyD-yL2E
Just slap some flowers in my hair and call me a hippie already...
"I know in time we'll be together
And now our love will make this sound"
.
Cocteau Twins-Alice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxSMckGfQ2k
Thank you "Lovely Bones" trailer for smacking me in the face with this incredibly lovely creation. Really, everything by the Cocteau Twins is lovely, but this is the jewel in the crown.
"When I lost him ache
Shudder shock of pale"
.
Gomez-Get Miles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uSj0YHOCM8
This guy's voice makes me want to tear down buildings.
"I love this city but this city's killing me"
.
St. Vincent-Marrow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9prpAv6kvo&ob=av2e
I don't even know what to categorize this as. Indie, freak, electronica, pop, noise? Sure.
"H. E. L.P.
Help me"
.
Wolf Parade-I'll Believe in Anything
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G1eLTV89dM&ob=av2e
I don't actually care for this band that much, but even mediocre bands can pull off a song that makes me smile every time I hear it.
"Your blood
Your bones
Your voice
and your ghost"
.
The Servant-Cells
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUkKLK_fZb4
Ok call me crazy, but I know this song was in Sin City without the vocals. But I like the song better with them. It makes it seem odder and creepier. So, any fanboys out there, don't kill me, please.
"My skin feels like orange peel
My eyes have been vacuum-sealed
My organs move like a squirm of eels"
.
The White Stripes-Death Letter (live)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fM2qhG8mA4
The album version of this song is good, but you HAVE to watch this live performance. It's the reason why I chose this over every other great White Stripes song.
"I didn't know I loved her 'til they began to let her down"
