People Fall Off Buildings: May 2011
http://peoplefalloffbuildings.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Stray Marvels: Joanna Newsom - "Only Skin". I meant to do a write-up for this before it auto-posted but I forgot to. This is a great song. In fact, few can match it in terms of scale and pure beauty. Bill Callahan (Smog) even does backups near the end, his voice providing a lovely contrast to Joanna's. I just hope she doesn't let Andy Samberg guest on her next LP. Here's the download link:. Joanna Newsom - "Only Skin". People Fall Off Buildings. Friday, May 20, 2011. Were once ci...

Wednesday, June 1, 2011. People Fall Off Buildings Presents: An Introduction to. Built to Spill. In America / Every puddle / Gasoline rainbow". I wanna see movies of my dreams / I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desert afternoon / I wanna see it untame itself and break its owner / I wanna see it now.". Without me there's nothing / I'm the only thing that dies / If it came down to your life or mine / I would do the stupid thing / And let you keep on living.". You were right when you sa...

People Fall Off Buildings: The Hold Steady - Desperate Pageant: B-sides & Rarities
http://peoplefalloffbuildings.blogspot.com/2011/01/hold-steady-desperate-pageant-b-sides.html
Monday, January 17, 2011. The Hold Steady - Desperate Pageant: B-sides and Rarities. Update: after the fall of Megaupload, all my blog links went dead. Since there's been demand, though, I re-uploaded this one. I do remain adamant, however, that the band should be issuing this collection officially because these songs deserve a proper release. Or even very good? Bad songs have to go somewhere, right? Well, maybe. sometimes. Which brings us the The Hold Steady. I would also like to thank the online Hold S...

People Fall Off Buildings: April 2011
http://peoplefalloffbuildings.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. A Few Thoughts On The Upcoming Election. There is, by all accounts, something supremely strange happening in Canada. What a month ago seemed like a pointless election has blossomed into something else entirely: an unprecedented opportunity to radically and permanently change the political landscape of the country that we live in. The fact is: there is no longer a clear leader in this race. For the first time in my voting life, no one knows exactly what will happen. Became an int...

People Fall Off Buildings: December 2009
http://peoplefalloffbuildings.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 19, 2009. James' Best Songs Of 2009 [Part One and Two]. Part Two is now available. I've updated the link so that it's all one giant file. Enjoy. Usually I limit myself to one CD-R worth of material, but this year I’m changing things up a bit. Because I liked so much stuff this year and didn’t want to exclude any of it, I’ve decided to release a second disc worth of extra songs. I know, I know. I spoil you. Oh, and I even made iPod art (included in the .zip). How cool is that? 11 The xx...

People Fall Off Buildings: Zoe 2 [December 2006]
http://peoplefalloffbuildings.blogspot.com/2011/02/zoe-2-2006.html
Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Zoe 2 [December 2006]. This is by far the oldest mix I've posted so far. It's also one of my favourites. Like my friend Jesse (whose Jesse 5. Mix I posted a while back), Zoe is the other. Person I make birthday mix CDs for instead of giving actual gifts. Not that I think either of them mind. In fact, mix CDs aside, I can be a pretty mediocre gift-giver, so it's really a win-win for everyone involved. Also: remember Peter, Bjorn and John? Me neither. But they were pretty po...

People Fall Off Buildings: January 2011

Sunday, January 30, 2011. No, the serpent did not. Seduce Eve to the apple. Corruption of the facts. Adam ate the apple. The serpent ate Eve. This is the dark intestine. The serpent, meanwhile,. Sleeps his meal off in Paradise -. God's querulous calling.". People Fall Off Buildings. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. James' Best Songs Of 2007. Since my recent blog revival (and subsequent return to music-blog stardom), I've spent a lot of time trolling through bulky CD binders (remember those? Why's it so great?

People Fall Off Buildings: March 2011
http://peoplefalloffbuildings.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. All My Pretty Ones. Father, this year’s jinx rides us apart. Where you followed our mother to her cold slumber;. A second shock boiling its stone to your heart,. Leaving me here to shuffle and disencumber. You from the residence you could not afford:. A gold key, your half of a woolen mill,. Twenty suits from Dunne’s, an English Ford,. The love and legal verbiage of another will,. Boxes of pictures of people I do not know. I touch their cardboard faces. They must go. Side by si...

http://peoplefalloffbuildings.blogspot.com/2011/05/let-me-count-waves-we-must-not-look-for.html
Friday, May 20, 2011. Let Me Count the Waves. We must not look for poetry in poems. You must not skirt the issue wearing skirts. You must not duck the bullet using ducks. You must not face the music with your face. Headbutting, don’t use your head. Or your butt. You must not use a house to build a home,. And never look for poetry in poems. In fact, inject giraffes into your poems. Let loose the circus monkeys in their skirts. Explain the nest of wood is not a home. Grab the shotgun by its metrical butt;.

People Fall Off Buildings: Stray Marvels: Lifter Puller - "Let's Get Incredible"
http://peoplefalloffbuildings.blogspot.com/2011/06/stray-marvels-lifter-puller-lets-get.html
Sunday, June 5, 2011. Stray Marvels: Lifter Puller - "Let's Get Incredible". As I mentioned in my Hold Steady B-sides. Post from a few months back, Craig Finn is one of the lyricists I most admire. He's got a striking and original voice, complete with unique phrasing and offbeat imagery; oddly grounded and yet almost more poetic for it. He's never overtly surreal, his characters are exaggerated but remain tangible and realistic, and the streets and landmarks he speaks about are actual. Other Blogs I Like.
