natalie marries the k-fed

i find it strange how many things i notice now, that i never used to. I used to judge people by the way i looked at them, but i've come so far since those days, it really is amazing, i feel like i'm watching that horrible, "my name is earl" show and i just won a bunch of money and now i want to apologize to everyone i've wronged. But you know what, i'm past the whole apology thing as well. In the past month or so i've apologized to a lot of people but we can't apologize for who we are, we have to accept who we are, and do nothing but move forward. Don't get me wrong, if everyone in this world apologized, there would be world peace, and if i run into someone i've wronged, then of course i would apologize if the time was right, but we can never live in the past, you can never judge a person by who they used to be, that is why i forgive everyone. If you are hurt, of course you are angry, but is life worth being angry? I know i want to live a long prosperous life, and if you asked me a few months ago if i would rather have a successful career and have a lot of money, or if i would rather love my job and maybe not make a lot of money, i would've said make a lot of money. But i've come to understand what is life worth if you can't enjoy who you are. love who you are, not who you want to be.
okay, enough with the sappy talk, it must've been another daydream, haha. ahh! natalie portman on conan! Speaking of natalie portman williams, for those who are a total geek like me, i found the coolest site that explains storylines far beyond the star wars movies, and where you can read star wars episodes 7-9!! Episode 7 isn't so great, but 8 and 9 seem really cool. Also, if you look at the history of the sith, or history of the jedi, you can read about jedi's of the past, and like who trained palpatine, and who trained yoda and mace windu...its really cool! www.supershadow.com
From what i've heard, the star wars: clone wars animated movies are far better then the real ones, so i moved those up on my netflix list, so after i finish my next two docs those are coming, suhweet.
Okay, to be honest, i don't have time to find music as much as i used to, i might have to cut down posting to a few times a week, but we'll see. But tonight, i have a really really good sonic youth cover by the yeah yeah yeahs, and a crazyyy acapella version of neon bible, sounds really cool. Busy day tomorrow, i'm getting a facial! hahaha wow, that plus my talk of project runway sounds sooooo hetero right?
btw: natalie portman's favorite band: tokyo police club! oh god please make more girls like this...

Imagine

i find it very strange how much i daydream and just doze off. I don't know if its to get away from the world or what, but even in the shower this morning (ohhh) i just started staring at the ceiling and next thing i knew, i was in there for 20 minutes and i was late for school...damn haha. Its strange what i think about, mainly its the future, and how will it be when i see people i haven't seen in a long time...but i've always done this, i've always imagined myself being very successful, and daydreaming about that, and how i am going to do anything to be remembered in history for something...just wait everybody...i promise you i will be known.
Well, i'm happy my hell week is over, 3 papers in 2 days, notttt cool. Its funny though, i even wrote a biology paper, and i somehow turned it political, haha i love it. This is going to sound rather homosexual, but i am soooo excited for the finale of project runway, i finally caught up on all of the episodes and i watched part 1 of the finale tonight, go jillian! and its great because right when this is over, top chef starts. I looked up classes that transfer to my future school, and i can take a cooking class that will transfer! AHH!! i've recently began to find a love for cooking, and if i take a class during the summer, how great would that be? I can cook stuff for all of my blog readers!
Haha ok wow i am tired. I had eleven hours at school, and i still managed to come home and run a few miles and do 300 sit ups. Niceeee and then watch one of my netflix movies so i could get a new one for the weekend...So i am ready for bed, but i thought i would post two relatively old songs that i have been obsessed with lately. Both of these artists i always liked, but only recently i have fallen in love with. The first is an artist named Beirut, many of you know him. The only reason he fascinates me, is that he is 20 years old, and when you hear his voice, you will be shocked, absolutely beautiful, and the eclectic soundscapes he uses, as he wrote the album traveling around remote areas of Europe, gives me hope that the future of music is in good hands. And the other is my favorite indie pop idol Jens Lekman, i've been a fan for a few years, but with his latest album "Night Falls Over Kortedala" he outdoes himself, brilliant. This song is so cute! I wish i had someone to sing this to...Good night all

Beirut - Postcards From Italy
Jens Lekman - Into Eternity

I Hate Ben Affleck Almost As Much As Jack Johnson...

but this video is hilarious. How they got so many stars to do a bit i'll never know. I really shouldn't be posting tonight i have sooo much to do, but i def won't post tomorrow and maybe not the next day, so i thought i would make time, because we as individuals can ALWAYS make time, that is something i have come to realize lately. How much time we waste in a day is unbelievable.
Wow, i think i'm starting to become more like my mom. I never understood why she had to work out everyday, but now i'm starting to feel that way. I didn't work out yesterday and i felt like crap the entire day, until i had my naked juice haha. So tonight i ran 4.5 miles and i did a few hundred sit ups and i feel greatttt. Funny isn't it.
So today i signed up for netflix! I'm pretty excited, there are so many great documentaries that are impossible to find in stores, so i'm slowly going to rent all of them along with a lot of classics i've never seen. Maybe i'll post movie reviews once and a while as well...Its a great deal though, i mean 13 bucks and you get unlimited movies to watch on your computer and unlimited deliveries sent 2 at a time per month. I just couldn't resist.
Okay, well i guess when my cat jack starts sitting on my computer its time to wrap it up. So i'll just say how lately i have been OBSESSED with M.I.A. I've had her older album, "Arular" for awhile, and i was not so impressed. But i bought her new cd, "kala" and i fell in love. The song i am posting is my favorite off of kala, and let me tell you, you will dance your ass off when you hear it, i just play this song over and over and over. Really, a great album, one of the best of 2007. The other is a great girl song, and guess what, its another RAC remix. Its by dragonette, pretty, pretty good.
okay i have to go write a 6 page paper on why the United States should leave Iraq in the next two years. Jesus christ, how can i possibly explain in 6 freaking pages why they should leave, i would rather have this be a 15 page paper, it would honestly be easier. Whatever...good night.

Dreaming Of The One You Really Love

Today was a fun day. I actually went shopping for the first time since like days after Christmas. Its weird going with different people, but nice. And then watching the Academy Awards. I called every single winner, except best actress. I was hoping "There Will Be Blood," would have won more awards but at least Daniel Day Lewis won best actor. I saw every single nominated movie except for Atonement, and "There Will Be Blood," was my favorite, i liked it much more then "No Country for Old Men."
All i have been watching lately are documentaries, i've been trying to get a few for free to post online for all of you, but i'm having a little trouble, still trying though. I must say, one all of you must find and see is "Who Killed The Electric Car?" It is amazing, far better then any Michael Moore doc, its about how the electric car represented the future for the car industry, but due to the overwhelming power of the oil industry and its Washington lobbyists, it completely disappeared. Watch it!!
Anyways, i don't have much time to post tonight, i just found out that a 6 page paper i thought was due on wednesday is due tomorrow, so i'm screwed. Anyways, this video is hilarious, there is a part 2 i'll probably post in a few days. The music i'm posting tonight is a folk cover of pb & j's young folks, pretty, pretty, pretty good. And the other is a cover of the arcade fire's "no cars go" its slow, but if you like that style, enjoy. Have a great night everyone.

Make Love Not War

There's nothing like a Saturday where you can just sit around, play guitar and watch star wars. I love this john and yoko video, i loveee the phrase "make love not war," saying that 40 years ago has so much significant meaning still today.
Funny, when i said i was transferring schools, i seemed to get sooo many responses. Everyone assumed i was transferring to cal poly slo, including my entire family hahaha, well although it is 10 min from my dad's house, i'm not saying whether that is where i am going...but don't assume.
Wow i have 3 papers due this week, not cool! I just don't know where i have time for all of this, but i find time for everything now don't i? I'm thinking of just trying to sell my disneyland pass on ebay. Because i knowww i won't use it if i move away. The thing is, i got the gift card, and i have till jan 09 to redeem it. So what if i meet someone who loves disney within that time? Idk, i think maybe i'll wait till i'm positive i'm moving to sell it...hell thats 2 hundo!
Ok, enough rambling on, tonight i'm going to post two powerful girl power songs hahaha. the beautiful paul mccartney song, "maybe i'm amazed," but covered by jem. Now, no cover can do any beatle justice, but this one isn't bad, in my opinion, very well done. And the next i've had for awhile, but i didn't want to post because the quality isn't too great, but its still so fun! Its fellow ScarJo fanatics Tegan and Sara, covering Rihanna's "Umbrella," although the crowd cheering is annoying, its still a good song. Okay, hopefully i'll post tomorrow, have a good sunday everyone.

I'VE ABANDONED MY CHILD!

Wow, so me and the b wanka went to watch "There Will Be Blood," tonight, and all i can say is uhhhmazing. Daniel Day Lewis provided one of the greatest acting performances i have ever seen. And Jonny Greenwood (yes i spelled it correctly) provides a perfect soundtrack. Do yourself a favor, and find this movie!
Okay, so sadly i have run into a little problem with transferring schools. You see i was told i needed 60 units to transfer schools, so i thought i was fine, but it turns out i need 90 units to transfer, which may be a problem. Because, even though i will be done with general ed in spring, taking 16 units at cal poly, and the 3 i am taking at rcc, puts me at 85. And that is assuming all of my classes transfer, which i'm sure i will have at least 10 or so units that won't transfer. Meaning in order to be admitted for fall, i have to take probably 24 units in spring and take a full load in summer. But i am soooo hell bent on making it in, i'm fully prepared to do it. I'm so excited for the fact that i will be moving out on my own, sure i plan on living on campus but i'd be living in a 4 bedroom apartment with 3 other guys (ohhh) The funny thing that was the nail in the coffin for making me live in these particular apartments was in the schools description of them, they say that they host halo tournaments hahahahaha. Now even though i have barely touched halo this entire year it would be soooo much fun to play with new people. Okay, so how about all of you that read this can take a few tests and write a few papers for me to help me out!
btw i'm pretty pissed off because i don't have anymore room on my ipod, i need the really big one now! haha i get sooo much music everyday, i've even taken off things i know i will never listen to and i still have too much! jesus.
okay so i was really debating on what to put up tonight, but i guess i'll just make it an arcade fire night. The first is a live cover of my personally favorite magnetic fields song, the next is a song i've had foreverrrr i just never put it up, its a live cover of THE SMITHS song "still ill." And lastttt is a fun remix of black mirror, i have a lotttt of these so if you like it, let me know and i'll put more up. Happy Friday!

This Is An Emergency

okay so a couple of things are official. First, tokyo police club has officially announced they have finished recording their first full length album, and it is due out in april! Ahh! i don't remember the last time i was this excited for a record. Its going to be called "Elephant Shell," and is supposed to be vintage tpc with a couple of love ballads thrown in. yay! And last is i'm officially applying for college to transfer for fall. I finally mentioned it to my mom and let me tell you, she was PISSED. But my sisters are starting to convince her, and i'm confident she'll eventually come around to the idea. I've made all the appropriate calls, so all i have to do is get my transcripts and then apply for housing!! Suhhhhwwweeeet.
okay, so tonight is all about tpc, i've been trying to get an early copy of the cd, but its still a little early, give me a couple weeks haha. But in the mean time, i thought i would give you 3 songs that should be on the new album. These are all live of course, and two of them are barely 1 1/2 min, but still great. The highlight is your english is good, which is very well done, so yeah have a good night, see you tomorrow.

Tokyo Police Club - Your English Is Good

I'm Bringing It Back

so yeah, i didn't plan on posting anything tonight, but tomorrow is a cuhhhrazyyy day for me, so i won't be able to post till wed. So here i am! Its strange how i never realized how much free time i used to have, and i never took advantage of it, whether it be spend time with loved ones, or in my case, former loved ones haha, or just not be productive. Every second of free time i have now, i'm either checking remixes and covers i receive, working out, playing the guitar, or doing homework.
It's strange for me to say this, but i'm perfectly content with my life right now. And i'm enjoying it, which is the most important thing for me right now.
Have you ever just had the feeling that someone is thinking about you? It's weird, but i really felt that earlier tonight...And it was weird because my mom came and told me the same thing...
Tomorrow i register for classes...i'm sooo happy it looks like i'm going to get every class i need/want. And two days yet again. Spring quarter not only will mark the end of my general education, but possibly my last quarter at cal poly? wow.
Ok tonight, i have a randommmm hilarious cover of jt, from this great band called rock plaza central who sound remarkably similar to the mountain goats. I hated it the first time i heard it, but then i just started laughing uncontrollably. listen to it! And the other is a band i wish to death were playing coachella, but they aren't, so whatever, its klaxons and their song golden skans being covered by the kaiser chiefs! enjoy! see you all wed night...

Kaiser Chiefs - Golden Skans (Klaxons Cover)

Boys Don't Cry

wow, its late...or early? ha well i don't have much to say tonight, but i found a couple cool covers i thought i would post. Geez, when i started this blog i was expecting to post mostly remixes, but it seems like i have posted more covers then anything, what can i say? I respect a new sound to a great song...
btw, who picked jack johnson as who they want to see at coachella? haha, i hope you did it just to piss me off...
wow, its nice that i am gaining weight again, but not in fat, its all muscle! yessss. And yet i still have a size 28 waste? wow.
Happy President's Day! I have such a busy day tomorrow, its nice though.
I still haven't told my mom my intent of leaving cal poly...i'm scared!
Anyways, this morning i have a couple very interesting covers. one is a classic cure song, made acoustic, by some german dude. And the other is a very interesting take on the AMAZING lcd song "all my friends," by none other then the man who started World War 1, FF. Have a great day!

Norman Palm - Boys Don't Cry (The Cure Cover)

You'll Never Be Alone Again...

so i spent the day in San Diego today, so beautiful, i loved it. There is something about the atmosphere down there that is just uplifting, its hard to describe.
there is something i have been thinking about for a longgg time and i never thought about it seriously until recently. But i think now, i am pretty damn sure of myself. I... am actually going to transfer schools. There is something about my school that just has never felt right, i love Cal Poly, but i feel in order to experience college and grow as an individual i need to leave here. I already know where i'm going, and i'm almost guaranteed admission. I'm not going to mention where i am going, but it is in California, but far from here. I can't explain how strongly i feel about this, i've always wanted to do it, but i always had a girlfriend that i never wanted to leave, but now that is no longer in my way. If you want to know where i am going, just ask, just understand it is perfect for me and i can't wait for fall (if there are no problems).
Okay, so tonight i have a couple really fun covers, both having to do with ben gibbard somehow. Ben covering mj? wowwww, and a postal service cover! Enjoy.

Ben Gibbard - Thriller (Michael Jackson Cover)
Ben Folds - Such Great Heights (Postal Service Cover)

Woke Up, Got Out Of Bed...

so yeah Valentines Day was weird sitting at home, but i was perfectly fine with it strangely. I mean sure i wish i had someone to spend it with, but i was happy with sitting at home watching Lost and playing guitar alone. haha. But then my friend came over and we played rock band till the wee hours of the morning. So overall, i was happy with the day. If there is something that people with broken hearts can't do, its mope around and wish they had something that wasn't there. Hell, i had my cat jackson, and my mom so who the hell cares? Be appreciative of what's in front of you, not what's behind you...
And hell, when you can sit around and learn to play "Yesterday" by the beatles on guitar, and drink your naked juice (AHH!!) then i have to consider that a fun night...
I find it amazing that i have had fast food twice in an entire month! and both times just a little bit of del taco...crazyyyy i never thought i could do that, but i stopped drinking soda altogether too, all i drink is water or naked juice....which i am obsessedddd with.
i need to get a digital camera before coachella! maybe my dad has one? hmmm
Ok tonight i have a couple funnn songs. One is yet another remix from RAC, and is one of my favorite shins songs ever. And the other is my favorite bloc party song everrrr covered by the amazing mystery jets. Have a great Saturday everyone!
The Shins - Sleeping Lessons (RAC Remix)
Mystery Jets - Pioneers (Bloc Party Cover)

"I'm Everything A Girl Could Need..."

Happy Valentines Day. I used to look forward to this day every year, its always so special for a couple, but tonight, it looks like i'm just sitting at home. It's kind of hard to comprehend. If you asked me in December if i would be alone on Valentines Day, i would've thought you were crazy...but that's life i guess.
Ok, well the day my girlfriend broke up with me, i made her a mix of some great love songs, and since the relationship ended, i never got the chance to give it to her. So I have soooo many more of these types of songs, but i don't know if i'll ever release them...i'll keep you updated.
Everyone please, even if you aren't in a relationship, give someone you care about a hug, because things like that make this holiday bearable for people like me...haha.
Is it weird that i really really want to spend time with my ex gf's family? Like more then i want to spend time with her... It's so strange when you get used to seeing certain people after awhile, and to all of a sudden stop, is a dramatic loss.
Sorry the songs i am posting are all m4a...meaning you can't preview them, but take my word, they are beautiful! you will enjoy, seriously. And don't be worried they aren't viruses i am giving you, haha.

Peace and Love

So yeah. i bought my 3 day coachella pass today. I only wanted to go to night 2 and 3, but individual days are sold out, so i had to buy the 3 day. I don't care for night 1, no matter how much i wanna see datarock or cut copy, i just absolutely HATE jack johnson, like john mayer hate haha. So if you or anyone you know is looking for a night 1 single pass, email me, and i'll get back to you.
So i had my first savate class tonight, and my knuckles are bleeding, and my feet are completely bruised. But although it hurts, i love it, its the best kind of pain. It was great, and i'm looking forward to eventually going to france to compete! ahhhh
I rather not bring this up, as i'm attempting to forget, but i have received an enormous amount of emails regarding what happened between my girlfriend and i. I know i never mentioned it, because i didn't think anyone cared to hear about it, but since i have received a lot of feedback, i thought i would just post what happened on here as opposed to individual emails to a bunch of people. Well i'll just give the short version.
My girlfriend and i were together for four years. I loved her more then anything, but i guess it wasn't enough. Well recently in the past few months a mutual friend of ours began hanging out with us b/c him and his girlfriend recently broke up, so we thought we would be nice and let him hang out with us, plus he seemed like a pretty cool guy. Well i have always trusted my gf more then i had ever trusted someone in my life, and i knew that before she started going out with me she had a crush on this guy for a longggg time. But i thought she loved me so i thought nothing of it. Plus, after all of those years, he neverrr liked her back. So i thought i was safe. Well many years later, my girlfriend developed from a beautiful girl, to an amazingly beautiful woman, right in front of my eyes, and i guess his too. Well something happened in the past couple months that is unclear, but apparently he saw that she grew boobs and a butt, and decided that he all of a sudden liked her. So somehow he let her know, and i guess that crush was still there, and i was swapped...after all my years of loyalty and love. Its that simple. True love...i guess not.
I've also received a couple emails about if she reads my blog. Well i am pretty sure she doesn't read it, i never mentioned it to her or anything, and if she is trying to forget me, i doubt she goes on here, so yeah. And there is no way he reads it, bc if he did, i would talk a bunch of shit...haha no i wouldn't, because i've already forgiven them both. Seriously.
Well tomorrow is my big v-day post, with 3 adorable songs for you to sing to your loved one for thursday, but tonight i am just posting a couple random songs, one is a smiths cover! yay!! and the other is a band i've heard a lot of recently, very impressive, think tokyo police club meets okkervil river.
The Stars - This Charming Man (The Smiths Cover)
Pete & The Pirates - Come On Feet

Whateva, I Do What I Want!

ahh! this will be me in a couple months...

yay. So yes, i am going to coachella, nights 2 and 3. I just can't pass up the chance to miss justice again, but i would love to see hot chip, and death cab perform some new material. So that's pretty exciting. I'm happy midterms are over, so now i just have to look forward to finals and term paperssss. I can't believe the quarter is already half over...I'm happy now because i can sleep a full night with no pills, but the bad thing is i have my appetite back, meaning i want to eat a lot, but since i'm so not used to eating now, i still don't... i really should put a few lbs on though, so maybe my pants will fit again. Tomorrow is my first savate class, yeahhhhh, wish me luck.

Sorry not a lot of amazing music tonight, because i have spent a lot of time looking for music to post for valentines day for all you lovebirds out there. But i still have a couple good ones. The first is a great hot chip remix of a rolling stone song, and the other is a hilarious cover of the salt n' pepa song "push it" by the nice husband and wife team, the rosebuds. Funny thing though, you can totally tell a white girl is singing it, its so much fun! get it!

The Rolling Stones - I'm Free (Hot Chip Remix)

The Rosebuds - Push It (Salt N' Pepa Cover)

Realization

so i'm starting to come to the realization that i'm going to be spending Valentines Day alone. Wow, this is going to hurt, and feel really weird at the same time. I never realized how much time i put into every Feb 14th, gosh, every year i tried so hard to do something new, and i spent sooo much money. I guess i can use my V day money, and my anniversary money (march 5th) to buy coachella tickets. Because every year i usually set aside around $500 to $600. And this year i got dumped, so free money! But i feel i should give SOMEONE flowers. Does anyone know anyone that wants flowers? Preferably a girl, haha. Maybe i'll just send some to my mom...
With the next couple of months, usually being so important to my past relationship, i have an extreme amount of anger and frustration built up inside of me, and i don't get to let it out teaching martial arts. Sooo, i've decided to take savate classes. For those of you who don't know what savate is, its french kickboxing. Think of boxing, as you wear gloves, but you use your feet mostly, and violently. Its been called one of the most violent forms of martial arts, but the minute i saw someone do it, i fell in love, and plus its perfect training for my 4th degree black belt test later this year. So i'm excited, i'm also doing a lot of weight training, so i will be in very very good shape for summer vacation this year. So next time you see me and if i have a black eye or i can barely walk, don't think much of it, i know what i'm doing...haha.
Ok so tonight, i am posting music by the remix company or RAC. Of any spectacular remix artists i have heard in the past year, i don't like any nearly as much as i like these guys. I must have given my first remix album to 30 people, well all of you that have it may remember a Tegan and Sara remix i had on there. The one i am posting tonight IS NOT that remix. This remix is soooo much better, seriously. Very well done. The next is a Who song, "Baba O Riley," i dont consider myself a big Who fan, but this song is so much fun! and a classic might i add. And last is one of my favorite new bands, Ra Ra Riot, and perhaps the best song on their album, "Each Year." It's greattttt. Ok, i should be studying, have a good night everyone.

Tegan and Sara - Back In Your Head (RAC Remix)
The Who - Baba O Riley (RAC Edit)
Ra Ra Riot - Each Year (RAC Remix)

I'm Home...

haha so after over a month of having that survey up at the top of my page, i totally just realized that it says "Best albums of 2006." Haaaa omg i never realized it should've said 2007, come to think of it, at school i don't even know if i've been writing 2008 on everything... uh oh.
So i'm back from Pismo Beach, and must i say, absolutely beautiful. It's amazing how a few little towns down there seem undiscovered by the world, where you can buy a brand new house on the beach for 500,000? Unbelievable, when i make my first million, i know where i'm going. I went during the perfectttt time though, it was Elephant seal mating season, so i watched honestly a thousand seals either giving birth, or in a giant seal orgy. I have xxx pictures on my phone, but i don't have a digital otherwise i'd post them in a slideshow with boogie nights music haha. And it was also monarch butterfly mating season, jesus i went at the right time.
I NEVER realized how absolutely simple the ride to Santa Barbara was, that is nothing, its strange, i wasn't even tired when i got there, but try driving past sb into the middle of nowhere for another couple hours. Thats frustrating.
So i'm back, i'm practicing guitar and ready to start working finallyyyy.
Ok, so today, i'm posting 2 songs, the first is to commemorate the 10th anniversary of perhaps the greatest album of the 90's, "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea," by the fabulously now non existent Neutral Milk Hotel. This cover sounds amazingly similar to the original, now must i say this song has been done and redone too many times to count, but this is honestly the only good cover i have heard, representing how difficult it is to ever cover Jeff Mangum's vocal talent.
And the other is by DFA (ie LCD's James Murphy's) members Hercules & Love Affair. I have heard most of this album, and i must say, very, very impressive.This particular song "Blind" is incredible because it features guest vocals from none other then my true love, Antony (Antony and the Johnsons) This song showcases his vocals brilliantly, and makes me want to see Antony strip his piano and leave it for the dj set. Have a good sunday, i know i'm going to be spending it either playing guitar or studying for my stupid bio middy on mon. Good night.

One More Time...

I hope all of you did two things today. You voted (cough Obama cough) and you picked up Hot Chip's spectacular new album (or got it from me haha). Overall, i'm somewhat satisfied with this so called "Super Tuesday." Obama did better in California then anyone thought, and he definitely has the momentum leading into the other primaries in the following weeks and even months. The only disappointment was he somehow lost Massachusetts, even though he had Kennedy and Kerry in his corner... Ok so its a big week for me. I have two midterms tomorrow, and then right after class i make the good ol' 4 hour drive to Pismo Beach. I actually miss driving up north, like to Santa Barbara and stuff...There is something about driving past the ocean that is just simply beautiful and does it for me (ohh). And on the way back, i'm stopping in Santa Barbara, and i'm going to get some great pizza, and hang out with some people i haven't seen in awhile...This is just what i need right now, to get away from everything, and to get things off my mind...one thing in particular...So i'll be back Saturday night with a new post...soooo yeahhh don't miss me too much.
So tonight, i'm back to posting a little bit faster music, with one nice slow song. The first song is an amazing cover i found a long time ago, but i figure since i'm posting another bloc party song i might as well post this one. It's a synth cover of "Like Eating Glass", very nicely done. The next is a song from the less then desirable "Weekend in the City," called "Sunday," which is live and acoustic, nicely done Kele.
Anddddd last is a song i've known forever, but recently i discovered their albums again when i heard of their new album coming out soon. So here is the spectacular single, "one more time" by the french kicks.
Have a great weekend, tell someone you love them today, ok?
p.s. i started taking guitar lessons again! Because my last gf left me for someone who played well, and i'm not going to let that happen again! I'm actually a quick learner, i already learned a couple songs in one day...

Something Makes Me Feel Like You're Going To Be My Girl...

So is it weird that every single night since Last Thursday, i have woken up repeatedly in the middle of the night (or in my case, the morning) in a cold sweat because i was dreaming about my ex girlfriend? Jesus, its annoying, because i always reach next to me, and she's not there...it sucks...Everyone says, let go kenny, but i can't. Even after all thats gone on...Its strange, yesterday i was fine, but today i woke up missing her sooo much again. I just wish i could see her face, despite how much i have been hurt...
Ok, so enough about my depressing former love life that i still loathe for...today i pretty much found the most adorable song i have ever heard, its by Japanese singer, pwrfl power, who a few years ago moved to seattle, and started adoring folk music. I'm serious, this song is sooooo amazing and just puts a smile on your face, and makes me want to sing this to you know who.
And the other is also amazing, and another Elliott Smith cover, but this time of one of my favorite John Lennon songs, "Jealous Guy." Which also describes my former relationship haha.
i know i said i was done posting slow music, but for me right now it is just the best, and makes me happy...and in my sad times right now, its what i need.

Pwrfl Power - Alma Song (Highly Recommended)

We Could Be Heroes...Just For One Day...

i can't even explain how pissed i am the giants won the super bowl. Jesus, thank God i didn't put any money on that game...
Funny how i thought everything was getting better by week but this week was the worst yet..but i'm okay because i know it can't possibly get worse then this haha. But i'm living my life, and thats pretty much all i can do...i have amazing grades and my family and 2 friends are here for support haha. Ahh i'm happy, i bought some songs online for rock band, like wonderwall! aww...although that song should make me sad, all it does is makes me happy, because memories are never bad. Not to mention i have my favorite bowie song, which i fell in love with yet again, and have decided to include here for you...except this version is live, and sounds wonderful.
And then two other downloads from guess who! radiohead....one is a acoustic version of "Reckoner" from In Rainbows, and the other is my favorite radiohead song EVER paranoid android, of course live and acoustic as well.
i hate you eli...and have a good week everybody! AHH!! midterms!!

Yesterday...All My Troubles Seemed So Far Away...

so i got on a scale for the first time today...15 lbs!! jesus i can't believe that...a little over 2 weeks and i lose 15 lbs....thats insane...i tried on jeans yesterday...and i wear 3 sizes smaller...you all should try it..it's called the broken heart diet. Ok so as i was driving home tonight, i heard this song, of course all of you know it, but the lyrics couldn't describe my life more perfectly. So here is the classic beatles song yesterday, with the beautiful blackbird as an intro from the "love" album. Sorry its m4a for some reason, but if you don't have it, please listen, and if you know my situation, my life is described perfectly from those short, miniscule amount of words. And then i have a live cover of blackbird by none other then elliott smith. So as morrissey would say..."sing me to sleep."

Sorry friends, and the crap load of people that discovered my blog somehow. I am going through a lot right now. ok well i love bss, and i recently found a fun little bunch of unreleased music, an acoustic set from 2004. So here they are, my favorite songs from it.
