Kind Of Like Spitting/Lemuria - Your Living Rooms All Over Me (2006)

Ben Barnett is Kind of Like Spitting and he just pours his guts out with every song, and those are evident here in this split. Seriously, listen to Afraid Of Crushes (which is also one of my favorite kols songs ever) and you'll be teleported back to that awkward version of yourself. (mega plus points if you're still that awkward version of yourself)

Lemuria (no, not that viking metal band) is a 3 piece Buffalo, NY based band who play sweet co-ed pop punk and released one of the better albums last year with Get Better, I melt like a big 'ole scoop of strawberry ice cream on a lazy summer afternoon every time Sheena swoons.

VA - Rushmore OST (1999)

Because I'm stuck at home with my new friend "Gout" and taking a break off Crisis Core:FFVII, I've decided to do my long delayed update of the blog and I'm starting off with a soundtrack from my favorite Wesley Wales Anderson film (because every film he has done is gold) which has a killer soundtrack as well that is oozing with subliminal messages telling you to "press repeat, press repeat" every time the record finishes, chock full of UK invasion bands (The Kinks, The Whoe, The Creation, Faces, Unit 4 + 2), Pop Gems (John Lennon's "Oh Yoko!", Cat Steven's "Here Comes My Baby") and of course, Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo, Badass MO'Fo who scored Pee wee's Playhouse/Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and RUGRATS especially the theme song).

Some songs on the film didn't make the cut like The Rolling Stones' "I Am Waiting" because the old farts rarely allow their material to appear on any soundtracks. I wonder how "Play With Fire" made it on The Darjeeling Limited's OST, prolly a lot of moolah plus Anderson's brilliance.

Thus, I conclude that Wes Anderson makes killer mixtapes, the kind you'd wish you could've made or you're friends with him irl so you'd prolly receive mixes with detailed and quirky artwork done by his hermano, Eric Chase Anderson, and a belated Happy Birthday to Mr. Wes Anderson, he turned 39 on the first of May.

Update: I've uploaded the following songs from the film that didn't made the cut on the ost, you can get them by clicking the on the image above.

Lost songs:

1. "Take Ten" - Paul Desmond
2. "Jersey Thursday" - Donovan
3. "I Am Waiting" - The Rolling Stones
4. "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" - The Vince Guaraldi Trio
5. "Manoir de Mes Reves" - Django Reinhardt

I know for one fact that the people behind this project are Lynchians and Aronofsky fanboys (based on the tracklist and their myspace page), with that said, I really don't know anything much about them than the fact that they play noise in the vein of Sonic Youth/Nervous Cop (on a ym conversation with buddies, I told them na "d00d, nervous cop!!) lulz, so if you're happy campers of the bands I mentioned, you'll totally eat this up.

P.S. The drummer sound's like he's on life support
