Since I've had time on my hands, I've been making icons. They're not that great -none of them have any text and they were just the products of a few clicks here and there on Photoshop. I'm not that good... Hopefully, someone will like at least one of these. Please be courteous and leave a comment if taking because it would make me happy! Also, it'd be nice if I'm credited, so that's preferred; especially my Michael Jackson ones, even if they're a bit on the bland side. 

These are what you'll find:

• Alex Turner [1]
• Julian Casablancas [2]
• The Last Shadow Puppets [1]
• Beck [2]
• Cat Power [1]
• Feist [4]
• Jens Lekman [1]
• New Buffalo [1]
• The Most Serene Republic [1]
• Tokyo Police Club [1]
• Andrew Bird [3]
• Emily Haines [3]
• Final Fantasy/Owen Pallett [1]
• Patrick Wolf [1]
• Kevin Barnes [1]
• Michael Jackson [8]

The last time I made a playlist for a book was when I finished Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy and was so moved by it. Again, I've read Hardy was immensely impressed with Jude The Obscure, a book I recommend everyone to read. I even wrote about it on my personal blog.


01 Andrew Bird - Yawny At The Apocalypse

The definition of 'apocalypse' according to the Oxford American Dictionary is the "the complete final destruction of the world." People live in their own worlds, and when bad things keep piling up, sometimes, it is unfortunate that some turn to other possibilities. There is something so heartwrenching about this Andrew Bird song; it's very touching, like Jude Fawley's story.

02 Cat Power - Good Woman

I want to be a good woman / And I want for you to be a good man / And this is why I will be leaving / And this is why I can't see you no more

03 Broken Social Scene - Her Disappearing Theme

People come and go all the time, and we have to deal with it. Whether it be friends, lovers, strangers. Even family, in this case.

04 Radiohead - No Surprises

A heart that's full up like a landfill / A job that slowly kills you / Bruises that won't heal / You look so tired-unhappy / ... / I'll take a quiet life

05 Bloc Party - Blue Light

What could I ever run to / Just tell me it's tearing you apart / Just tell me you cannot sleep

06 The Smiths - Asleep

Don't feel bad for me / I want you to know / Deep in the cell of my heart / I really want to go

I made this for my brother and decided to share it with everyone else online.

01 Devendra Banhart - Sister
Keep the fire inside / And your dogs won't die / And now it's all clear / It's all clear

02 Feist - Family
And someone loved them once / And someone loves them still / And someone misses them / And someone always will

03 Hello Saferide - My Best Friend
And we talk about friends / And we talk about records / Talk about life / And we'll talk about death / And we dance in the living room

04 New Buffalo - Cheer Me Up Thank You
Wild flowers growing in the park / Summertime, and it melts into dark / Dancing together at night until two / You're cheering me up / And I thanking you

05 Cat Power - Wonderwall
So maybe / You're gonna be the one that saves me / 'Cause after all / You're my wonderwall

06 Devendra Banhart - I Feel Like Just A Child
Well, I need you to come help me reach the door / And I need you to walk me to the store / And I need you to please explain the war / And I need you to heal me when I'm sore / You can tell by my smile / That I'm a child

07 The Postal Service - Sleeping In
Don't wake me / I plan on / Sleeping in

08 I'm From Barcelona - Oversleeping
Been oversleeping on Monday / I don't care / Let's pretend it's Sunday

The title of this post states the obvious.

Some good songs to listen to if you're lying on your bed alone, or if you're sitting in the backseat of your parents' car. In fact, you can just listen to these anywhere.
