a soundtrack for sara

these songs are the way my roommate sounds.

serge gainsbourg: cha cha cha du loup - incredible! i dont know if its the video for the actual song but its an awesome little animation.

"L'était une fille, douce et tendre comme toi, toute aussi gentille, se promenait dans les bois - et voilà soudain qu'en chemin- elle aperçoit l'grand méchant loup aux abois. Hou ! Hou ! Hou ! Hou ! Cha cha cha du loup!
peter bjorn & john: young folks - sweet little video
"if i told you things i did before, told you how i used to be... would you go along with someone like me? if you knew my story word for word, had all of my history... would you go along with someone like me?"
bebe: siempre me quedara - so friggin sexy are you kidding me!
"siempre me quedara, la voz suave del mar, wolver a respirar la lluvia que caera sobre este cuerpo y mojara. la flor crece en me y volver a reir y cada dia un instante volver a pensar en ti."
richard bona: kalabancoro - this isnt a video but you can hear the song here. beautiful.
the apples in stereo: mellotron 1
of montreal: suffer for fashion - live
"lets go together, lets do it together, lets go together, FOCUS, uh-huh, i'm calling, what's the sense? eleven eleven forever forever, uh, pretty sirens don't go flat, its not supposed to happen like that..."

nick cave: there she goes, my beautiful world - pretty great live version at brixton academy.
"nabokov wrote on index cards at a lectem, in his socks, st john of the cross did his best stuff imprisoned in a box...well, me, i'm lying here with nothing in my ears."

eluvium: radio ballet - you can hear a bit of the song here - but here is ballet mechanique - a film by fernand leger which has nothing to do with the song other than they remind me of each other. one of my favorites.
dandy warhols: get off
"yeah maybe i fought once i thought i was sane, but all i wanna do is get off and feel it for a minute like the real thing baby, i guess i already forgot."
elvis presley: heartbreak hotel - oh god. so good. it hurts.

"everyone in town's got your number, everybody's got you pegged right, is that why you got in touch with me? oh, guess you must be runnin' out of fools."
