    Post Voicy's favourite songs (as requested by Stokey)

    Hey guys, so a few guys thought my songs i posted were ok enough for them to enjoy, so I thought i'd share a couple more which have always been close to me... do not pay too much attention to the movies, since the songs aren't very commercial, the videos lack budget and are often fan based.

    So without further lag, in no apparent order:

    Jack's Mannequin - The mixed tape (it may come across as an angry song at first, but give it a listen... it's def. one of my best)


    The Eels - Not Ready Yet


    Raemonn - Supergirl (I cant believe they had this guy as the opening act for Nelly Retardo, it shouldve been her opening for him)


    Slut - It was Easier (first time i heard this song was when i saw them live in germany at a weekend fare)


    Jack's Mannequin - Dark Blue (The lead singer just recently overcame leukemia sp*)


    Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (a real moving song)


    Kent - Den döda vinkeln
    (I thought i'd throw this one in, seeing as i've always liked Kent's music and quite a few of you may recognize this song of his even though it's in Swedish)


    Weezer - Island in the Sun (just a feel good song that I've always loved, almost like 500miles is to old people)


    Jack's Mannequin - Kill the messenger


    The Shins - New Slang (recently discovered but as its quoted in garden state "this song will change your life" )


    The Eels - Your Lucky day in Hell (this one is a must)


    Patrick Park - Life is a dream (one of those songs that make you think)



    these are just a few of the songs i currently enjoy and I hope you do too. Again, its not for everyone.

    Hallelujah is a great song. Depending on the context it can be very depressing, but also very uplifting.

    Supergirl was also a cool song. Can't say I know much of the rest...
    It is not the responsibility of a defender to leave the objective unguarded just so his opponent sucks less.

    Nah, you werent really supposed to recognize any of those. That's kind of the point. It would be silly if we just pasted our top 10 songs and they were all the same, now wouldnt it ?

    Have a listen to 1 or 5 of them when you're bored. as i said ... the music vids arent much to go by.

    Yeh, they had a faster version of it playing on shrek. Coincidentally, about 2 or 3 of The Eels' songs were also in Shrek. In fact 1/3rd of all their songs have probably made it onto movie soundtracks, yet nobody really knows em. I missed their tour in berlin by a weekend
