I have 4 exams in 4 days 2 physics, 1 mathematics and 1 chemistry. And I'm listening to Metric's new single from their album Fantasies! Its ultra catchy and smart, plus I have a style crush on Emily Haines, I wanna steal her wardrobe!
Sucks. Really it does. NOFX and Bad Religion are touring this year as well as is a newly "independent" Anti-Flag (they broke free of their corporate shackles and are now signed to Side One Dummy), but besides Meg & Dia there isn't that much else to look forward to. Unless you think Jeffree Star and Millionaires have any talent, which I don't. This music tour better have a serious makeover come next year or else they are going to be losing a ton of devoted punk fans.
Laura Marling - "Ghosts" and "New Romantics" I have a broken heart, I fell in love with a close friend who is now dating another close friend...these two songs have helped.
In other news, I was listening to Kate Nash's song "We get On" and realized it was written for my situation, but then again when you are sad every unrequited love song applies to you. Here are my other favorites:
Robyn - "Be Mine!" (Her whole album is actually amazing, she has a great voice and really unique style.)
Kate Nash - "We Get On" It sounds happy at first but there is an emotional shift in the middle.
Vertical Horizon - "Everything You want" and "Best I Ever Had" These guys must have gotten their hearts broken a lot because their entire debut album consists of break up songs!
Cage the Elephant - Their song "ain't no rest for the wicked" is a sweet little tune that sounds a bit like country (and not Kieth Urban country, like Johnny Cash Country), a bit of the blues and soul, with some funk and punk added in. I really dig how eclectic their sound is, it reminds me a lot of Gogol Bordello's version of "punk" which combines folk, gypsy and Ukrainian music, and pub anthems into a strange punk rock hybrid.
Are finally coming out with a full length album, a day after Asher Roth debuts his new album on itunes. Make the right choice pick up Chester French and leave Asher Roth in the discount bin.
I just watched this really wonderful french movie called "Love Me if You Dare" from 2003. It sounds corny, however it was far from it (its not Twilight...vomit). The plot basically centers around best friends who are so in love with each other they eventually destroy each others lives through threatening dares. The trailer says its a comedy and although there are funny moments the plot is not one of humor but of loss and despair. Although they do eventually come together in he end, the ending its self was a shocking and disturbing one...but also quite sweet and beautiful. Its a very hard movie to explain, you have to watch it for yourself. I wish I knew someone who I could love as passionately as the people in this movie, I know its fantasy, I just want my Mr. Darcy already.
