Scully, check this out...


In the episode of The X Files called "Orison," an escaped convict named Donny Faster (making his 2nd appearance) comes after Scully because he loves her red hair. He also wants to eat her pinky, no euphemism. Anyways, this song features prominently in the episode, as Scully and Mulder try to chase down Faster they hear it everywhere. The song isn't bad, but you'd have to try hard to make a music video with more absurdity for your buck than this one.

Sea Above, Sky Below



Dirty Three: Sea Above, Sky Below [zshare]

Dirty Three speaks to me in a way that few other bands/artists can.
I can't even begin to describe them.

Batting a thousand...



Passion Pit: I've Got Your Number [zshare]

Somewhere between Architecture in Helsinki and Black Kids.

What can a man do...

What can a man do
When a woman is all he's got


Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings: Stranded In Your Love (feat. Lee Fields) [zshare]

Is this romance
or circumstance?
