An Horse - "Warm Hands"

The back of the CD case says this is called "Warm Hands", but when I put it in my computer, and it does that thing where it looks up the tracks, it comes in as "Scared as Fuck". I don't like one title more than the other, in fact I quite like both titles being the title, simultaneously. Because to me the song is about two things at once; running away and sticking it out. "I'm not really scared" can be said by someone running with tears on their cheeks just as much as it can by someone with drunken fists clenched and swaying. And tonight, in the sink of a national holiday, I really feel for this song's hero. There's something young and intrepid in her novice lilt and shout. Something similar to that dippy place where your collarbones meet. Soft, gorgeous, rested in a ridge. I can hear her sing this song to herself at night on hallway streets and to dark black parks, to keep whatever forever away. [Buy]

Hologram - "Mommies"

I've posted Hologram before, but I'm not sure I made my point. They have a 5$ collection of songs that will change your life. They won't turn you from something into something else, but they will change your life the way an icicle changes a whole house, or a safer bike route changes your whole scenery's dayscape. They're a brilliant band because they're impeccable, they don't make mistakes. I won't let them. [Buy]
