Camera Obscura - Fifth In Line To The Throne

From their new Album Desire Lines.

"Fifth In Line To The Throne"

I gave you a regal name
Cause you treat me like a queen
But like a queen I don't know when I'll be slain

Now, I'm fifth in line to the throne
How am I gonna tell my king
That I don't trust his throne, anymore

If you want me to leave, then I'll go
If you want me to stay, let it show
Do you want me to leave, let me know
Just let me know

I have seen your deepest flaws
I'm ashamed to say they made me want you more
But I was in awe

If you want me to leave, then I'll go
Do you want me to stay, let it show
If you want me to leave, let me know
Just let me know

If you want me to leave, then I'll go
If you want me to stay, let it show
If you want me to leave, let me know
Just let me know
Let me know
Let me go

Subtlety...

I've never been a big believer in it either...

Meme's Can Kill

MOE almost got me once too...

Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel

If you're into folk music and haven't heard these guys you need to check them out. I first saw them awhile back on Austin City Limits. This is from their excellent album O.C.M.S.

Our 5 Step Plan

I think many Americans skip right from stage 1 to 5, even when they read things like this...

I Promise...

...to try.

Anims 2

Steven Den Beste is at it again creating more Anims for his blogs top rotation. Frankly I think it almost scary how Steven can distill the essence of a series down to it's elemental attraction in what amounts to 3 seconds of footage - take this one for example:


HEH. And there's a lot of 'bouncy bouncy' ones too! More in his post here.

Choices...

I'm glad sites like Facebook give me choices on who has access to my personal information and posts...

I feel safer already...

FANIME 2013 Cos-Play

The first gal is Ziio from Assassins Creed 3, right?

Judy Collins - In My Life

One of the greats of all time. Even though it's blasphemy, I much prefer her rendition over the original by the Beatles.

Chinatsu Yoshikawa, Akari's classmate, becomes the fourth member after falling head over heels for Yui. The Amusement club meets at the abandoned tea ceremony room and has no clear purpose, leaving the girls to do whatever they want. More often than not, Kyoko stirs up some wild scheme to get everyone in trouble as a means to pass the time and experience the ideal middle school life!

Do Your DVD and BD Releases Get Along?

Note: Explicit language. Don't say I didn't warn you.


After 15 years in this industry, I do have to admit, some people really do complain about the dumbest shit. -_^
