2. List 5 songs you like that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.
1. "Kamikaze" by PJ Harvey
Probably my favorite song from 'Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea' which is an album full of AMAZING songs. Harveys mournful/shriking voice combined with the song's relentless guitar and lyrics paint pictures of love as both constant battle and a prize worth dieing for. It makes my hear beat fast every time i hear it.
2. "Key to Nord" by The Controls
Somewhere on the evolutionary tree between trip hop and IDM, and inspired by the prophesies of Nostradamus the controls made one epic, heart breaking album. Key to Nord is 3 minutes and 10 seconds of pure heartbreak. It's lyrics are haunting and i find myself humming the melody for days after listening to it.
3. "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" from Nightmare Before Christmas
Three malevolent demon children singing about the murder and dismemberment of the worlds most beloved childhood icon = awesome. And the the She Wants Revenge cover? I don't recommend it.
4. "King of Silence(Dan the Automator Remix)" by Cibo Matto
There are many edits and remixes of this song but this one is by far my favorite. First of all i'm a sucker for a horn section, and the trumpet on this track always makes my heart sing. And even though there is a heavy hip-hop beat throughout the track i always picture Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori in long 30's dresses behind old time-e microphones in some speakeasy somewhere.
5. "Kooks" by David Bowie
David Bowie inviting his his unborn child to stay and be raised by him, but also warning him that if he stays he'll probably grow up to be more then a little different. It never fails to make me feel triumphant and reassured that i'm not alone in my weirdness.
