Flashbacks of a fool
I always remeber my friend Karla when I watch this scene. We used to be in her room listening to songs and trying to understand the meaning of so many songs we used to like. I miss those days.

Animal House
She’s a kick ass new artist who isn’t afraid to color outside the lines. Her name is Margo.
Her EP Animal House is a colorful pop delight that leaks remnants of everything we loved about the 80s and then some. It’s available for free DOWNLOAD HERE. Try listening to it only once, I dare you. Drawing from a love of fashion, Margo not only raises the bar musically but also hand crafts her brand by designing her wardrobe piece by piece.
Text by: IndieShuffle
Sounds like: Prince, Goldfrapp, Gwen Stefani, electronic, indie-pop, funk, 80s

Best Coast: The Only Place download
Pre-order the brand new Best Coast album 'The Only Place' directly from Wichita Recordings here: http://shop.wichita-recordings.com/Bundle.aspx.
On May 14, 2012, Best Coast will release their highly anticipated new album The Only Place. This follow-up to 2010’s acclaimed Crazy For You finds the proudly Southern Californian duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno maturing in both their sound and perspective. While Crazy For You was a nostalgic tribute to teenage feelings, The Only Place finds front woman Cosentino starting a transition into adulthood. “I’m trying really hard to grow up,” she says. “I’m trying to let go of my bad habits and the immature things I still drag around with me.” Of course this adjusting comes with uncertainty and self-doubt, two feelings at the emotional center of an album that also features a love song to her home state of California in the title track. All encompassed in the memorable album cover, derived from a 1913 sheet music illustration paying homage to the golden state.
As with all of Best Coast’s previous recordings, on The Only Place Cosentino handles all songwriting, lyrics, vocals and rhythm guitar, while multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno plays lead guitar, bass and drums. What’s new this time is their decision to work with producer and composer Jon Brion. A revered figure in the music world, Brion has collaborated with artists including Fiona Apple and Kanye West and created the scores for such films as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Punch-Drunk Love. Recorded at Capitol Records’ famed Studio B, The Only Place features a cleaner and richer sound than other Best Coast releases. Many of the songs’ arrangements are detailed with subtle percussion and unexpected instrumentation. Intricate but never overworked, the biggest change from previous releases is how it showcases Cosentino’s voice, this time letting it ring clear, unhidden by distortion and reverb.

Foolish Games
You took your coat off and stood in the rain.
You were always crazy like that.
I watched from my window I always felt I was outside looking in on you.
You were always the mysterious one with dark eyes and careless hair
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say besides some comment on the weather.
You were always brilliant in the morning smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
you loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones as I clumsily strummed my guitar.
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else somebody who gave a damn somebody more like myself....Well in case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see, this is my heart bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees. These foolish games are tearing me apart your thoughtless words are breaking my heart. You're breaking my heart

Being Boring
"I came from Newcastle in the North of England. We used to have lots of parties where everyone got dressed up and on one party invitation was the quote 'she was never bored because she was never boring'. The song is about growing up - the ideals that you have when you're young and how they turn out".

Too Late
I just want to take you away from everyone and keep you stashed under my pillow
And then I'd take you out simply for my own pleasure and wear you when the occasions special
Then I'd put you on like a diamond so I can sparkle and be the envy of my friends
I'd proudly hold the leash that I'd have you on so you can't stray and follow me around all day
Compulsion has stained me I'm nervously cradling our young love without known limits love
Like a butterfly cupped in my hands I peek in to see beauty trapped confined it flutters
Then it leaves behind colorful dust to remind me of the special times we've spent
But of course it has to leave my clutch but enough's never enough to make a dent
And in time it will end and there really isn't hope for the two of us
But right now I give in…

People help the people
Those hardfaced queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
A fiery throng of muted angels giving love and getting nothing back
God knows what is hiding in that world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies, a thousand slowly dying sunsets.
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess that loneliness came knocking..

Nobody Knows me
I've had so many lives since I was a child and I realise how many times I've died
I'm not that kind of guy sometimes I feel shy I think I can fly closer to the sky
No ones telling you how to live your life but it's a setup until you're fed up
This world is not so kind people trap your mind
It's so hard to find someone to admire
I… I sleep much better at night I feel closer to the light
Now I'm gonna try to improve my life
It's no good when you're misunderstood but why should I care?
I… I sleep much better at night I feel closer to the light
Now I'm gonna try to improve my life
It's no good when you're misunderstood but why should I care?
What the world thinks of me? Won't let a stranger give me a social disease.
It's no good when you're misunderstood
I don´t want no lies, I don't watch TV, I don't waste my time! Won't read a magazine
It's no fun but the damage is done. I don't want a social disease.
It's no good when you're misunderstood
I don´t want no lies, I don't watch TV, I don't waste my time! Won't read a magazine
It's no fun but the damage is done. I don't want a social disease.

Young Blood
We're only young and naive still we require certain skills
The mood it changes like the wind hard to control when it begins
The bittersweet between my teeth trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls one temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate we lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight you keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky
As it withers brittle it shakes
Can you whisper as it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver count up all your mistakes
Pair of forgivers let go before it's too late
Can you whisper?
