Let's Get Physical.


its strange to hear french accents coming from them haha. I love that cross i must say.
pinkberry in corona is open! i noticed because yesterday was my moms birthday and we went out to dinner.....ahhhhh!
okay...so first thing is first...a couple of record reviews
death cab for cutie: narrow stairs
so officially this album doesnt come out for a week but in true kenny fashion i got my early copy. And i must say, this may be the worst death cab album i have ever heard. It is unfocused, not catchy, and somewhat annoying at times. A few weeks ago i expressed my discontent with "i will possess your heart" and how i can't stand that song. Well guess what, on this album, that is the best song. Yeah, seriously. Where death cab went right on "plans" was they blended there old sound, with their brand new studio sound, blending catchy beats with beautiful melodies. But on "narrow stairs" all of that is missing, and the sound, sounds like it was produced in a hotel room. I've listened to it twice so far, and i've gained nothing more from it. Very disappointing ben! btw, coachella performance, not good...very boring.
overall rating: 4.5/10
tokyo police club: elephant shell
on first listen of this album, i didn't know what to think. i liked it, but it didn't leave me as excited as "a lesson in crime." On second listen, i liked it more, as i recognized beats i didn't notice on first listen. On third listen, i began to really like it, as you notice the advancement in their maturity as a band, as their average age is 20, you see this band has a real future. Still not as good as their, ep, and at just over 30 min, you run threw the album 3 times before you get home from school haha, but you see their bold attempt at not being that one album wonder, and i must say, they succeeded.
overall rating: 7.2/10
with so much music to post i don't know what to....in weeks leading up to coachella i got so much stuff that wasn't coachella related that i didn't want to post, but now i have time to. The first song, is a coachella act that i saw for a few pendulum. I can't explain how much i love this song! it is unbelievable. i find myself singing it all day, everyday. With the release of this single, i now can't wait for their full length release due out next month. The other song, very funny, i wanted to put it up a few weeks ago, but again i was just posting coachella music. so i get back from coachella and guess what, they turned it into an ipod commercial! haha, yes, this is the song from the new ipod comm from the ting tings. I originally heard them because they are closely involved with calvin harris, but now they are blowing up! If you like the ipod comm. download this song...sooo catchy!
Okay...today is soo busy for me, but i thought i would post, because this is the only time i can all weekend. have a great day everyone. peaceee.
