What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?

Pythagasaurus

A Very Zombie Holiday!

Sexy, Sexy: Iron & Wine - The Sea & The Rhythm

Tonight, we're the sea and the salty breeze
The milk from your breast is on my lips
and lovelier words from your mouth to me
when salty my sweat and fingertips

Our hands they seek the end of afternoon
My hands believe and move over you

Tonight, we're the sea and the rhythm there
The waves and the wind and night is black
Tonight we're the scent of your long black hair
spread out like your breath across my back

Your hands they move like waves over me
beneath the moon, tonight, we're the sea

New Faith No More?

Nope, just an older, never-recorded track.

Not that things on the other list couldn't still make it, and not that I'm still not reviewing other things that aren't on either list, but as of right now, these are the ones in which I'm interested. Metal is a bit under-represented this year, no?
