Gomez! And Angus & Julia Stone – again!

Okay, so I went away for the weekend, and got reintroduced to Gomez (my heart!)!!!
I totally adore that guy’s(s) voice, and the mixture of guitar and backing vocals and the electronic stuff, and the mixing… put it together, and it’s utterly amazing! Pity he’s not so hot :P

I only have Bring It On (apparently it’s the best one) but I’ve heard random stuff from other albums and it’s all totally diggable… savvy?

So, the full list of Gomez CDerama is like, miles and miles long, but the main ones I’ve heard of are: How We Operate, In Our Gun, and, of course, Bring It On. There are heaps more though, so yeah….

The first song I really knew was Whipping Piccadilly, and my friend made me watch the vid clip, which I did, on numerous occasions. It’s so cool :)

And I’m pretty sure this a famouserer song, and I love Gomez SO much that I’ll post two songs – how ’bout that! – there’s dedication for ya:D

So I’ve got to say my favourite songs (that I know anyway) are Get Miles (the lyrics are so great eg. ‘I love the silence, but the silence is killing me’. Ahh, the talent!), Whippin Piccadilly, and Tijuana Lady.

And I know I keep going on and on about them, but Angus and Julia Stone man. You can’t go past them. I’m pretty sure they’re my fave band of all time, like I love other stuff, and I have fads and all that, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never skipped an Angus & Jules song (except maybe The Beast, but it then, it goes on you know..).

I’m pretty sure I have all their cds, singles/EPs included. (But the Wedding Song? where is that from?) And my first and favourite song (prob cos I heard it first and it was on a Coastal Chill) is Paper Aeroplanes -

I love pretty much all their songs, but Bella, Horse and Cart, Mango Tree, Heart Full of Wine, All of Me, and A Book Like Thise are probably my favourite songs. Wasted is the most famous, but I have heard it sooooo many times, it’s got the point where I need a break from it. I guess cos it was in the Hottest 100, and had all that air leading up to it, and then when everyone was listening to the Hottest 100…..
Anyway, I could name like, most of their songs, and they would be faves :)

I so can’t wait ’til they release a new album – better be soon, but they’re doing so much touring it would be hard… well, let’s hope they’re amazing freaks who record albums while on tour :)
