I forbid ye maidens all who let fly your lovely hair to go down to Carterhaugh, for young Tam Lin is there.

My friend Tim’s band Dresses just put out a new single called Sun Shy and it is the most infuriatingly catchy thing I’ve listened to in quite some time

If you like it (and you might! My mom thinks this band is cute. Do you think my mom doesn’t know what she’s talking about? Get fricked), you can download it for free here or here before it moves to iTunes next Tuesday

THIS IS SO CUTE

Good Intent — Kimbra

I know you didn’t mean it, boy, you meant so well; the pennies are cascading down your wishing well. I know you didn’t mean it when you counted to ten; you’re slipping through the fingers of your good intent.

[Lyrics.]

Lullaby — Loreena McKennitt

O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue
To drown the throat of war! When the senses
Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness,
Who can stand? When the souls of the oppressèd
Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance
Drive the nations together, who can stand?
When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
And fiends of Hell rejoice upon the slain,
O who can stand? O who hath causèd this?
O who can answer at the throne of God?
The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it!

— William Blake

I. S. S. (Is Somebody Singing) — Chris Hadfield & Barenaked Ladies

There have been a lot of songs written about space, but how many songs have actually been written in space?

Watch the video above as astronaut Chris Hadfield, from aboard the International Space Station, performs “I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing)” with Ed Robertson, the rest of the Barenaked Ladies and the Wexford Gleeks from Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts, who were all at the CBC studios in Toronto.

The song, which was written by Hadfield and Robertson in partnership with Music Monday, CBC Music and the Canadian Space Agency, explores what it’s like to look down on the Earth from outer space. It will also be the official song for the 2013 edition of Music Monday, which takes place on May 6.

THIS IS THE ACTUAL COOLEST THING EVER.

I may have teared up a bit.

Born to It — Ron Hawkins

[Lyrics.]

Some are born to serve/and others they’re just born bad/some are born too late/yeah and others they’re born into sadness/some are brought in/and some, they fall in/but don’t you know I was born to it/with a fragile vision of indecision/a tour van and a duffle coat/an empty pocket, a crumpled note/from someone whose name I can’t recall/in a town I wish I’d never seen.

Guilty of Being Innocent of Being Jack Sparrow (DJ Earworm Remix) — Hans Zimmer

So this was included as a bonus track on the official soundtrack of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and I am so happy about everything.

Carry On — Fun.

[Lyrics.]

When you’re lost and alone/or you’re sinking like a stone/carry on/may your past be the sound/of your feet upon the ground/carry on.
