empires - under the bright lights (howl, 2008)

this is my favorite song from this record, even though i love the entire album, flaws and all. howl will always hold a special place in my little black heart because it came out at a time that was personally very hard for me. this record literally saved my life and sanity more than a few times that year and has continued to do so ever since.

i will always be grateful to the music on this record and to the dudes that made it.

alan rickman - sonnet 130

in honor of shakespeare’s birthday, i give you my favorite sonnet read by one of my favorite actors in the world.

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

terrible-thrills:

cover we recorded of ‘science fiction double feature’ from rocky horror picture show a few months ago for the steel train 7inch series. this is honestly my favorite song to sing EVER. and, also + obviously, the namesake of ‘terrible thrills’. ok. hope you like!

steel train covering rocky horror picture show = hearts in my eyes.
