I have a big crush on Kid Cudi.

Yep, so this is me posting another music video. Well-worth it though.

M.I.A.'s Baby Boy


So Ms. Maya Arulpragasm welcomed a new member into the world town family last week. He is sooo cute! He definitely looks like her! Don'tcha think?
Personally, I can't wait to see what she names him and how she's going to dress that little child.

Rent movies at Amazon.com?

How come I didn't know about this?
While it is easy for all of us to find movies for free online, much of the time the quality of the picture/sound/etc. is so horrible.

Well, last night my friend Kylene showed me that you can rent them at Amazon.com for $2.99 and have them for 7 days. It's cheaper than a movie store and they has a pretty decent catalog. It's also better than Itunes in that respect. I believe they charge $3.99, and I don't think you can hold them for 7 days.

Try it out.

Heart's are broken everyday..

I apologize for my recent blogging ventures and constantly posting music videos. Truth is, I don't even really love music videos that much. Seems that today, they can really enhance a song or annihilate it.
This is the new Kanye video featuring Kid Cudi for "Welcome To Heartbreak." I dig it.


Also, excuse the less-than-perfect quality, but I couldn't find a better one quickly and am SUPPOSED to be writing a 5-page paper on search engines. (Ugh).


PS. Found one with better quality!

Asher Roth- I Love College Video



Haha, dude rules. True, true.
I don't go to frat parties anymore (THANK GOD), but I still go to many house parties, more often than I probably should. I heard this song mad long ago. Now it is starting to get fairly mainstream, but I have a feeling it's going to catch on even more to become a standard party anthem.

You can call me a dork..

But I do very much enjoy the show America's Best Dance Crew.
Some of those groups go hard! I have always wished I could dance like that.

These are my two favorites..


So sick!

Lykke Li at the First Unitarian Church

I haven't yet had a chance to comment on seeing Lykke Li last Friday at the Church here in Philly. While I would like to say it's because I have been super busy, the actual truth is that I was waiting for a video to surface. I wanted to give a better representation.

It was amazing. I knew that it would be, but she surpassed my expectations. At the last minute, r5 decided to put the show in the Sanctuary of the actual church, rather than in the basement. I'm very glad they made that decision. The candles and the dark room and some silence made it a very different show..not to mention the sound is so great in there. Drinking wine out of a water bottle while my friends were drinking beers and Lykke Li was yelling, "What the fuck? It's so quiet in here!" telling everyone to start dancing in her oh, so adorable Swedish accent. It's a good thing the Unitarian church is accepting. Haha.
Her voice is so unique and pretty.
I think my favorite was when she performed "Tonight" during her encore. The entire room was damn near silent. She also jammed out to a cover of Tribe Called Quest's "Can I Kick It" last (Yeah, I know..whaaat?!)
She's so great; I'm kind of infatuated.
