a few songs in my head:
santana feat. michelle branch – game of love
U2 – electrical storm
eve feat. alicia keys – gangsta lovin’

song of the hour: donna summer – i feel love
(for my history of elec dance music class! wee)

ok, ok, ok. my blog has gotten waaay way way too political. so here’s a personal update.

currently spinning: weezer – maladroit
song of the month: weezer – keep fishin’
GO SEE THE MUSIC VIDEO!! You can check it out at weezer.com.

went to see them at verizon wireless in irvine a couple weeks ago. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!! weezer, geek band of the decade, does pyro at their live shows. completely rocked the house. only complaint was that the audience was full of weezer newbies who didn’t know songs off pinkerton… or even the blue album!! -sob!- Rivers led the band in a gorgeous version of “Only in Dreams” and followed it up with “Surf Wax America”… and people didn’t even get it. :(

jer, julie, and I also got to catch Area2 at Verizon Wireless. gosh, I hate that place, but don’t get me started! (stupid clear channel!) at any rate, we got there late because traffic on the 405 that day was completely awful… it took us more than an hour to actually get to Irvine, and we’re only maybe 40 minutes from it from RB. -throws arms up in the air- but what we saw once we were there was pretty bad-ass. Tiesto ROCKED, Bowie was amazing… completely charming, and Moby was, though not as electric as he was at AreaOne, still immensely fun to watch.

upcoming: coldplay in vegas. VEGAS BABY, VEGAS!

song of the hour: suede – electricity

… as I’m stressing to finish this paper. aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

man oh man, I haven’t touched this blog in forever!! I’ll do a quick summary.

song of the month: garbage – cherry lips
album of the month: garbage – beautiful garbage

it’s been going non-stop in my car on my commutes to and from school. oh gosh, I LOVE SHIRLEY MANSON and the rest of garbage!! why are they so great?? ahghh!!

song of the week: nelly – hot in here
completely absurd, completely hilarious. great for a week, but now I’m tired of it.

song of last week: hit me baby one more time — versions by Britney Spears and Travis.
I had to write a paper on this. if you want to read it, email me. I got an A+ on it! (who’d a thunk it??)

another song of last week: weezer – keep fishin’
because the video is so dope!! I’m also really liking the album as well. I can’t wait to see them in Irvine next week! WooHOO!

currently in my head:
strokes – hard to explain
vines – get free
weezer – keep fishin’
modest mouse – dramamine
gorillaz –
oh yeah, and I also just discovered Tobey Keith’s song “Courtesy of the Red White and Blue.” I heard this in my American Popular Song class on tuesday cuz it was a response to 9/11… and this week I hear it debuted on the pop charts at #1! heh. actually, I don’t know if I’m American enough to “put a boot in your ass” even if it is “the American way.”

song of the hour: norah jones – don’t know why
=)

currently spinnings:
garbage – beautiful garbage. I’ve been listening to this non-stop for the past week. God, I love Shirley Manson.
doves – lost souls. One of my favorite albums of all-time. why are they so wonderful???? -sigh-

can’t wait for new cds from:
idlewild
coldplay
counting crows

recent currently spinnings:
sparklehorse – it’s a wonderful life
&nbsp &nbsp not to be confused with the band rubyhorse’s new single, “sparkle.” I don’t know what they were trying to do either. that song sounds very vertical horizon-ish.
weezer – maladroit
cibo matto – viva! la woman
doves – last broadcast

speaking of doves, I went to see them at the Mayan theater last thursday. the venue was terrible — not only were the acoustics of the theater horrible, they didn’t have anyone manning the board to correct the overwhelming treble in the sound. but, doves, being doves, still sounded wonderful. and boy, they can rock a bit for such a moody, spacey-feeling band. I love ’em I love ’em I love ’em~!! if you haven’t started listening to doves yet (not the doves.. just doves), bug me for a copy of the cd or something. single mp3s don’t do them justice… they create whole cohesive albums of sublime music.

song of the hour: weezer – dope nose
the WEEZ is BACK! :D

song i love: jimmy eat world – if you don’t, don’t
If you haven’t started listening to jimmy, run run run! go! listen!

recent concert: harry connick jr. at the kodak theater.

recent tunes:
**blur & radiohead – cowboy song
paul ellis – the world ain’t slowing down
chad brock – yes
