You Need Me To Do Better Than You

Well nothing exciting has been happening in my life lately, so I think I’ll just do a music blog.

Oh yeah, we are having a blizzard.

That’s the view from my dorm window. It’s still snowing!

To the music!

My favorite song at the moment is Thao’s “Know Better Learn Faster”

Just a cool song about love and how you can never be wise to it. I found that song from Nylon Magazines Free iTunes sampler, which can be found here. It has 27 free songs, all of which were amazing!

The next song, is a dance song! My friend showed it to me as an experiment actually. Turns out I really like it!

That song reminded me of my love for Freezepop. I discovered them from guitar hero and now I have so much of their music. You can never have it all because they have a lot of songs plus a billion remixes to each.

This song, “Souls of Gold” by Sister Crayon is amazing. Her voice is so smooth and you just want to keep listening to it…I also found them on a free iTunes sampler. It is the latest one on the Free iTunes Facebook app. So if you have a Facebook account check it out. Note: I don’t have a Facebook account, I just use Erin’s. Thanks, Erin!

This is one of my favorite bands. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to see a Blind Pilot show and they opened for them. Local Natives, of course! This is their official music video for their song “Airplanes”. I would also like to congratulate them on getting one of their songs, “Sun Hands” for purchase on iTunes! They are making it big. The song “Sun Hands” was featured in the Nylon iTunes sampler as well. Yay!

This next song is super catchy and awesome. The music video is cool too! “You’ve Changed” by Sia She is the lead singer of Zero 7 if you were wondering.

Here is a set of Canadian twins with their single, “All  You Got”. The picture of them for this video is like hilarious.

OK these two are like Teagan and Sara. They are sisters who sing acoustic songs. This one is my favorite/only one I’ve heard. “Cardigan Weather” by Meg and Dia

Alrighty, now it’s time for a classic. Well a cover one a classic. “Old Friends” orginally by Simon and Garfunkel covered by Sara Lov

Speaking of covers of classics, here is a a Bee Gees cover done by Feist! “Inside and Out”

Ok that’s enough!

Toodles

Lookin’ Like a Fool…

With your pants on the ground.

That Zamboni’s coming!

Here is some MRSA….

That is my sister’s leg btw….

Come on up, you can sleep with my eyebrows

There was no purpose to that….

So my life at the moment is going well if you were wondering…I’m just going to my classes which just started so I’m just getting an idea of what they are all about too!

A movie I saw recently was Boy-A. It was about a guy who tries to start a new life after the 14-years of prison he was sentenced to because he murdered a little girl as a child. This movie is a thinker, most of the important parts are ambivalent so the viewer can come to his own conclusion. It was quite good and the plot was different, so I enjoyed it.

That’s a bug poster…but I like it the way it is!

Another movie I saw was A Beautiful Mind! It was really good , I thought. I don’t get how he got through college without anyone realizing that he didn’t have a roommate and he thought that he had one. I know, it’s just a movie and some things are left out or added or unexplained for theatrical purposes. Whateves, it was still good.

I have also re-newed my love for Grizzly Bear….

This is for my sister…

That’s right! It’s Holiday Pie! We went on a search for this illusive pie only to find out it was out of season at the time….
I discovered a new cool blog and it’s called This Is Why You’re Fat. It has a bunch of other foods that clearly explain why you are fat …

We are the inovators, they are the imitators

I love these lyrics because they are so hipster! The song they come from is actually really good. The song is called Wordless Chorus because the chorus has no words :p

I actually discovered this band from an episode of American Dad. The episode was entitled  “My Morning Straitjacket”. You should watch it if you are into indie music….

I’m a Panther…Again!

I attended Martin Luther King Jr. Middle school as a girl and guess what our mascot was! It was a black panther….that’s so ironic right! King and the Black Panthers had a totally different strategy going on there, but whoever decided that for our school must have been some weird young person who thought it would be funny…

Anyways Happy Belated birthday King!

Further anyways….I may be a panther again..

As I have been accepted to Adelphi University…their mascot is a panther…Exciting times indeed…

I was very hapy becuase iTunes finally had some good music for the free stuff of the week.

The single was July Flame by Laura Veirs

and the Music Video is Cousins by Vampire Weekend. I was very surprise and pleased to see this…

Evil

I saw this super good movie called Evil, or Ondskan in Swedish. It is about this kid who is being bullied by the senior class of his boarding school. When I say bullied, I mean they were down- right abusive. The lead of the movie, Erik  (Andreas Wilson) decides to take a stand. Here are some pictures…

Something Else That I love…

If you didn’t know this, watch out because you are about to know…I love stop-motion animation. Some of my favorites include Wallace and Gromit and Angry Kid!

Wallace and Gromit are pretty much the cutest cartoon pair ever. Wallace is an inventor. Okay, he isn’t the perfect inventor, but that’s what makes it fun! Gromit is the dog, and he never speaks, but he is full of the wisdom that Wallace lacks. He drinks coffee!

Angry Kid is a kid who is angry. He always seems to pick the short straw! His cartoons are sort of creepy because the only part they used the claymation on is his head the rest of his body is a real guy. It’s just a weird combination…

I saw Avatar.

Best summed up by this:

Ok so the plot was typical, but it was a really fun movie to watch.

Best people in the movie:

Sam Worthington! I didn’t know that he was Australian until after the movie and then I was like darn he did have a bit of an accent. He was way cooler as the Na’vi Jake Sully than the human one. Just saying. Also interesting tid-bit Avatar is a Hindi word that means something like a higher deity coming into the body of a lower-life form. Apparently it’s most commonly associated with Vishnu, which is the supreme god. Vishnu is pretty much thought to control everything in the universe and connect all beings. So I just thought it was interesting that they chose to call the human alien mixed breed things avatars…

Even though Giovanni Ribisi had a small part, he is still awesome…That picture is from this other movie called The Other Sister, which is a cool movie about these two mentally handicapped people falling in love. It’s cool check it out!

Welcome Home :D

Just a random update on my froggies!
