Videos and other stuff

I've seen three videos recently that are kick ass
1 is Lady Gaga's Paparazzi...i hate the song...but the video is cool and creepy
2 is Wolfmother's New Moon Rising...sick song...and cool video with shots of the band cut with shots of sweet effects
3 is Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown...song is strange...in three parts...last two parts are good...but video is sweeeeeet
WATCH THEM ALL!!!

p.s. 30 Seconds to Mars? overrated i think...
p.p.s. Justin Beiber? definitely overrated

Phoenix
Late of the Pier
Passion Pit
Animal Collective

Crooked Teeth by Death Cab For Cutie

It was one hundred degrees
As we sat beneath a willow tree
Whose tears didn't care
They just hung in the air
And refused to fall, to fall

And I knew I'd made a horrible call
And now the state line felt
Like the Berlin wall
And there was no doubt
About which side I was on

'Cause I built you a home in my heart
With rotten wood, it decayed from the start

'Cause you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along

I braved treacherous streets
And kids strung out
On homemade speed
And we shared a bed
In which I could not sleep at all'

Cause that night the sun in the trees
Made the skyline look
Like crooked teeth
In the mouth of a man
Who was devouring, us both

You're so cute when you're slurring your speech
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave

And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along

I'm a war of head versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak, my heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say

And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along

There were churches, theme parks and malls
But there was nothing there all along.


*basically just listen*
Feel good song.
Makes you think, have you ever had love?
And if you have, was it real?
What happened to REAL love?
