Lykke Li-Tonight

This video is so simple but effective. Love her. I'll be seeing her at the Church on Friday. I'm excited and I haven't been to a show there for quite sometime.

Girl crush!

Bloody Monday.

Money.CNN.com

This is sad.

PS. I Love You.

I just purchased this movie and watched it tonight. Along with six other DVDs, that I impulsively purchased at Walmart. I swear, I hate Walmart with a passion, but every time I go there, I feel like I need to buy something because it's so damn cheap. I guess that's where those nasty corporate bastards get you. Anyway, I didn't really mean to start going off on a Walmart tangent..

But it was the second time I've watched PS. I Love you, and it was just as good the second time. It makes me want a sexy Irish singer. I also love that some of it is set in Ireland. What a wonderful place. I would give a lot to go there again for longer.



Sigh, what a tear-jerker.

You are the blood flowing through my fingers..

I am dying over here. Finally, I got my hands on a new song from the genius that is Sufjan Stevens. It still has him "written" all over it with all of the horns, but it is kind of electro, too, like on Enjoy Your Rabbit. It picks up in the middle and than calms with a loungey piano solo and ends with a trippy electro sound. 10 minutes of heaven, I can't get over it.
It's something I would definitely put on a mix for a love (If I had one, of course).

Q-Tip Knows What's Up.

This is a new great video from a great song and even greater album.

Q-Tip Featuring Amanda Diva-"Manwomanboogie"

Back to "Owl Country."

I think I am going to have the easiest semester in history. I have no idea how I pulled this off, but I have only two classes Monday and one Wednesday. I'm only on Main campus Monday and Center City Wednesday night. I have one online class.

Oh, and I also got an internship today. It's at a little independent record label called Lost Gold Records, and their sister site is called DMusic.com. It's located up in Elkins Park. The company purveys rare music, like old classics from the vaults and shit. Should be pretty chill considering the girl who interviewed me was wearing Converse (I was in heels, of course, I had to purchase a new outfit) and there is a dog running around the office. So we'll see.

Welcome to The White House Obama.



Today is the day. He is exactly what this country needs right now, and I feel like the majority is on his side, despite whether or not they voted for him in the election. Honestly, it's kind of difficult for me to effectively express into words just how thrilled I am at the moment. Though I am sure you know, because I bet that many of you are feeling the same way.
I am just so proud that I witnessed and was a part of making this historic moment happen.

Wishing I had disposable income..


Just became obsessed. Why did it take me so long to go to this website? Especially for a shopping diseased person like myself.

It's ALWAYS sunny..

I never got around to watching this show. I have no idea why, but I am kind of hating that I put it off for so long. I watched 5 episodes from the first season last night.

Shit's hilarious!

N.A.S.A. Featuring M.I.A., Santogold, and Spank Rock- Whachadoin

I had never heard of these dudes (N.A.S.A.) until um, today, but they are getting a ton of hype apparently. Here's a song that leaked from their upcoming album featuring M.I.A. and those Philly kids Santogold and Spank Rock.

It's my new jam!

I uploaded it to Mediafire. So download and go have a dance party.

(Got to give a little love to Pretty Much Amazing, a music blog that I follow, where I originally found it).

Where The Wild Things Are- The Movie?!

Oh my goodness! They are turning this classic Maurice Sendak book into a film!
Honestly, I used to read this all the time when I was a kid. I was even in a play at the Strawberry festival in Wilkes Barre area that my aunt directed.
Needless to say, I have a soft spot.

It's set to release in October 2009. Neato.

I had my four wisdom teeth pulled today.

I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled this morning and was extremely miserable. I started tearing up in the chair--I think the combination of laughing gas, anthesia, and the needle they put in my arm made me emotional. (I know, I'm such a girl). Surprisingly enough, I don't feel that badly now nor do I look like a chipmunk.
I can't imagine not being back in commission by tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. Let's hope.
I haven't moved from the couch all day. I have watched three movies so far and downloaded/bought a bunch of new music.

...most importantly, the 9th release from Animal Collective titled, Merriweather Post Pavilion. I just found it and have been listening to it throughout the day (in between movies and naps), and it is so great. Honestly, I've always enjoyed the band but haven't listened to them as much as I would like.
Like with many experimental bands, it often takes time and a few through listens to appreciate it entirely. With this album..I liked it immediately; it didn't even have to grow on me. My favorites are "My Girls" and "Brother Sport." You should have this in your life (!!!)
