Well, I went with friends to Liverpool, today, and they did several Beatle-related activities I did much idiosyncratic photography, and some sketching, thanks for asking.
So of course, I give you:

Deru – I Want
Added this second one since the first requires a click through to YouTube. Both are worth watching.
Deru - I Would Like
Gary Jules - Mad World
[details=Lyrics]All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
Find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what’s my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
Find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very, very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

Fm Belfast: Underwear
Shot in their backyard when they decided to put on a small concert/festival with some friends. Was captured by this documentary linked below. When the film debuted in Seattle during SIF a buddy of mine was assigned to assist the director while here. He knew I loved everything music related to Iceland so he invited me along. Fun night and film.

Until nothing
Until nothing
Until nothing
We come from a place where we count the days
Until nothing

Keep walking…
Keep walking…
Keep walking…
We’re running down the street in our underwear
We’re running up the hill, it’s over there
We’re running down the street in our underwear
We’re running up the hill, it’s over there
Cause nothing ever happens here
Cause nothing ever happens here
Where everyone keeps off the grass
No littering, no loitering
No nothing
No nothing
No nothing
We’re running down the street in our underwear (cause nothing ever happens here)
We’re running up the hill, it’s over there (Oh my Lord)
We’re running down the street in our underwear (Oh my Lord, cause nothing happens here)
We’re running up the hill, it’s over there (Oh my Lord)
We come from a place where we count the days

Yoko Duo - Close These Curtains (Stimming Remix)
[details=Lyrics]I’ve got a castle you don’t know of
It’s nothing big but it’s got several rooms
I wanna tell you, want you to know?
So I can close these curtains
I’m climbing up, gonna increase my altitude
But it feels stupid to tell you this
Can someone, please, help me out?
I wanna close these curtains
Help me out
(Close these curtains)
So I can close these curtains
Help me out
So I can close these curtains
Help me out
(So I can close these curtains)
Help me out
So I can close these curtains
Help me out
I’ve got a castle you don’t know of
It’s nothing big but it’s got several rooms
I wanna tell you, want you to know?
So I can close these curtains
I’m climbing up, gonna increase my altitude
But it feels stupid to tell you this
Can someone, please, help me out?
So I can close these curtains
I’m climbing up, gonna increase my altitude
But it feels stupid to tell you this
Can someone, please, help me out?
I wanna close these curtains
Help me out
I wanna close these curtains
Help me out
I wanna close these curtains
Help me out
Help me out
Help me out

A few years ago Efterklang started a project to help music education and to encourage young musicians. They provided a free downloadable kit including their music in sheet form as well other materials. Eventually they recorded some joint performances with some of the kids.
If you get a chance to see Efterklang live don’t miss it. Great energy and crowd interactions. Genuinely nice group of people. Live has a lot of fun solos and diverges nicely from the recording studio.

[details=Lyrics]You’re always a follow
We will cross that line and get away
To the hope that follows
For the dream that swears on better days
Can you hear them calling ?
Can you hear them falling now ?
Can you hear them coming ?
Can you hear them falling now ?
Can you hear them coming ?
Can you hear them falling out ?
There is nowhere to escape
There is nowhere
There isn’t anywhere
There is nowhere to escape
There is nowhere
There isn’t anywhere
There is nowhere to escape
Only rythms that will keep you awake
Can you hear them calling ?
Can you hear them falling now ?
Can you hear them coming ?
Can you hear them falling out ?
I can hear it
I can hear them calling out
For the river
I can hear it all
I can hear it
I can hear them calling out
For the rythm
I can hear it all[/details]

Mouse On Mars - Actionist Respoke (2001)
Current mood.
ionnalee is the solo project of Jonna Lee, who has spent the past decade making enigmatic and alluring pop music as part of iamamiwhoami. Currently going it alone, the Swedish artist released what she calls her first audiovisual single “SAMARITAN” in March. Today, June 2, her follow-up “NOT HUMAN” is premiering on The FADER.
Interview at Fader
I really enjoyed her initial releases as iamamiwhoami when everyone was trying to guess who she was.

Take On Me always makes me think of the “literal video” version now

ODESZA – Say My Name (feat. Zyra)
[details=Lyrics]I wanna go so what’d you say
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me
’Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
'Cause nobody knows it better
Than the girl in the corner with the scarlet letter
And while you’re watching
You may think that she doesn’t matter
But no one knows you better, oh yeah
I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I need a sign or a signal
I’ve overthought everything I can think of into symbol
I need the coat and your jacket
And the remnants of your cigarette packet
I wanna go so what’d you say
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me
’Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
'Cause nobody knows it better
Than the girl in the corner with the scarlet letter
And while you’re watching
You may think that she doesn’t matter
But no one knows you better
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, oh yeah
