There's a ton of songs out there about getting your heart broken and being forever alone and blah blah blah, but we never hear much from the heart breaker's themselves. It isn't easy on them either, ya know. So, here's some love songs from a different perspective. It's been that kinda week ladies and gentlemen.



1. This Way Always- S "I'll just say, I'll just tell you. I feel awful when I'm around you. I'll be screaming when I walk away, thinking of your face. I wish I loved like I did, like you used to. It's overwhelming, I feel backwards when you leave."

2. Two- The Antlers "But after over a year, I stopped trying to stop you from stomping out that door, coming back like you always do. Well no one's going to fix it for us, no one can."

3. Easier to Lie- Aqualung "And who am I to give you what you need when I'm learning, just learning. Learning how to live and to bear the weight, and push into the sky. It's easier to lie."

4. I Don't Care What You Call Me- David Ford "And tear me on down, I am unforgivable.So why don't you just tell me what you really think again. Scream me on down, I am so forgettable, yes I know. Shoot me on down, don't you think this isn't killing me?"

5. The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot- Brand New "If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand. Hope you find out what you are; already know what I am. And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again. You can tell me how vile I already know that I am."

6. Walk Away- Ben Harper "And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself, and it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else. And it's so hard to do, and so easy to say. But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away."

7. Betterman- Pearljam "She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man. She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man."

There's nothing like a great live performance that proves a musician's talent is so much more than an intense editing sesh in the studio. The unique voices and powerful presence of artists such as Nathen Willet of Cold War Kids and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver are the reason Kesha doesn't do acoustic shows. So while you lay in bed pretending to do homework and wondering if Friday afternoon mixed drinks are acceptable, check out some bad ass live performances. And make that drink, it's been a long week.

1. Julia Nunes
2. Jenny Oh Great One
3. Danielle Ate The Sandwich

Throwback of the Week.

Oh Blink, you will never get old.



After Midnight: Blink 182 "We'll stagger home after midnight, sleep arm in arm in the stairwell. We'll fall apart on the weekend, these nights go on and on and on."

Hello Lovelies. Let's talk for a moment about real, raw, creativity. A couple years ago, this guy named Evan Weiss decided to record one new song every seven days for a year about whatever was going on in his life that week. After a bit of editing the album 52 Weeks was released under his solo name Into It Over It. I kid you not when I say this is some of the realest shit I've ever heard. Here's some of my favorite tracks off the album.



1. Anchor "I'll be there for you tomorrow, steady and faithful as your anchor, trying to make the water safer in the wake of this town."

2. Friday at Brian's (I have to be up in 4 hours)"Win or lose, this is partly mine. We can keep failing missions from time to time. We can always just take the jet plane, because there's 10,000 people in Moscow who still don't know our names."

3. Introduce This to Your Parents "So maybe you should try harder to begin to try trying less, I swear I'm not this hard to impress. You're way too funny to give me much less, I'll chalk it up to inexperience."

4. The Worst Company to Keep "It doesn't take a genius to see I'm not really into this, pushy invitations just aren't my thing. But you've been making assumptions out of fleeting emotions, so I'll bury the hatchet and say what I need to say."

5. ...and I Bite My Nails "May you come true, to come around and let everyone down with me. You see, i've got plans and they don't involve a single friend here, to which you've got friends on which your plans will rest for years and years."

6. Pinky Swear "So while I sat there motor humming on the shoulder I thought I'd find a pen and start to write my failures out. But then the lights were gone and both sides of the paper were full, so hazards off, turn signal on, gas pedal down."

7. Ashley's Big Adventure "This building's like a factory, with the noise outside your bedroom and your boyfriend's face in the frame staring back at me, I can hardly sleep."

8. Fak It "If we're having fun, then it's worth it. Well are we having fun? Cause I'll show you what you should have done. You'd have been better off just lighting your money on fire."

9. Everybody's (fucking) Crazy "It's perception as a curse and what's worse is apathy is friends with me. I haven't laughed in a long time."

10. Batsto "Cold pavement under static sky - gaining patience, but losing sight - we wrote off our problems as better times.'
