spontaneous song recs!

What tickles me most is that not only do these two songs share key thematic elements, but they share the adjective-train-home title structure. MY INNER GRAMMAR NERD GETS OFF ON THIS FOR SOME REASON. And they're each really quite lovely songs (this first one? Was that perniciously indescribable melody that was running through my head all those weeks ago, driving me to the brink of insanity textLJ. Obviously, I've listened to it about 40,000 times since I figured out what it was.)

The melancholy one: Door Train Home - Fischerspooner

The happy, eager one: First Train Home - Imogen Heap

Plans for the rest of the day involve making pancakes, cleaning my room, whipping nano into shape, and avoiding getting called into work. My stomach is audibly grumbling; there is a reason pancakes are the first on that list. *dashes off*

hot chip is so gay

Far be it from me to think I know EXACTLY what a band means with a lyric... but whenever I hear "you're my #1 guy" repeated a bajillion times by a male singer who's clearly very happy to be saying it, I can't help but smile. :D

the video is pretty awesome too
