Summer Camp - Was It Worth It

Girl, you are young and beautiful but you're boyfriend doesn't treat you right. Your friends and your family don't understand why you're staying with this guy. One night you decide to have a bottle of wine, maybe call up your girlfriends, you all get drunk and turn the stereo on and this is the song you sing.

Millionyoung - Weak Ends

Forward drums in the beginning, trance-like synths. That eery, reverbed, echoed to hell vocal until the drums drop and then the wail of an underwater creature. If only we lived in the ocean.

You can download one of Millionyoung's eps over at his myspace page.

Still Blue Still Turning - Time is a Place

You hear music but it's far away and you just want it to come closer. You want to be wrapped up in the sounds. But it's an impossibility. It's a long track but repeatable because it never seems to satisfy you the first time through.

B Hugs - In the Lounge

You're out on your father's boat in the middle of the cape. It's that time in between night and day. The orange glow of the sun is being pushed out by the blue and black sky. You might be alone or you might there with friends, it's up to you. You feel lazy and content. But slowly you begin to dream of what is happening on the shore. You struggle between staying out or returning.

First Rate People - Girls' Night

This is the happiest you will ever be with your lover. "Everybody that you look like should send you a letter to say they're sorry they couldn't change..."

First Rate People's myspace is full of interesting things, including a link to download the song above.
