let's get soppy.

recently been listening to Mark Bradshaw's work for 'Bright Star', and they absolutely kill me every time.

  - indeed
    
    Even though I like listening to music and working, when I listen to this song I just need to stop everything else. It's so powerful and beautiful. The live performances of it look fantastic as well..even in badly shot youtube videos. http://youtu.be/50LV8CV8d78

Perfume Genius - Mr Peterson

Listened to it a lot over Christmas, on my own in the office taking lots of codeine. Very heavy album but that song is a painfully wrenching killer.

GoatmeatMF | 25 Jul '11, 00:14 | X
- didn't mean Mr Petersen did I
  
  One night I got up and told my father there were witches in my room. He gave me a baseball bat and said, "Here's what you do"

I never really used to get the appeal of Fleet Foxes beyond a couple of tracks

but I saw them recently and they were really incredible live - they opened with the short instrumental The Cascades and then launched into this which left me pretty speechless at the time:
