The iTunes Shuffle Game!

 Okay, ladies and gents, I have a fun game to play today. All you have to do is comment here with the first 25 songs that show up on your iTunes when you press shuffle! (And no editing, you  have to admit them no matter how embarrassing….this is me planning ahead since I haven’t done […]

Songs That Won’t Get Out of My Head: An Exercise in Obsessions

 Alright, so, here’s a free-flowing list, ordered according to whatever comes into my head first, of what I can’t stop listening to recently, no matter how hard I try, or how much my parents and friends beg me to stop the incessant repetitive nature of my song-watching. Phew, that was a long sentence!

“Heart Throb” - […]

Will Blog for Food???

(a pic of me…note the Steve Martin shrine in the background…I’m too awesome!)
Okay, so, I’m not gonna be here too much longer, folks, so let’s enjoy this while we can, hey?
It’s my second-to-last day blogging, and I’d just like to say how happy I’ve been writing about bands for as long as I have on […]

Video: The Sounds “Tony the Beat”

“Hey, let’s kick it/Stop, just lick it/Let you start it, ’cause ’cause it’s so easy/She like it my way and I know it/So let’s do it/Do it do it real good/Hah, it’s sweaty/Now I’m ready/Just take it off, ’cause ’cause you tease me/I like it that way and you know it/So let’s do it/Do it […]

Video: The Sounds “Song With A Mission”

This song reminds me of Be Your Own Pet’s “The Kelly Affair,” and when I searched for this music video it was the first time I realized it. I guess it’s because they both have a pretty upbeat feel to them, and also because they talk about their band in a way, be it a […]

Video: The Sounds “Seven Days a Week”

This was the first song I heard by The Sounds, and then I saw it, I wanna say, a couple months later on Letterman. Insanely fun and oh-so-catchy, “Seven Days a Week”’s video is set in a small airtight club with scads of loyal listeners lining the walls. It’s got that energy that “Hit Me” […]

Video: The Sounds “Hit Me”

Everything about this video is baller, no lie. First of all, they did it on an extremely tight budget. I wanna say 200 bucks, but don’t quote me on that. Secondly, they did it in a friend’s emptied-out pool (thus the blue background, hehe) It’s got that kind of raw energy I just appreciate, love, […]

Track-by-Track: Vampire Weekend

Mansard Roof: When I first heard “Mansard Roof,” I was in my car, and I took my roof (my moonroof, that is), and opened it all the way. I knew right away it was going to be a great track. Now all I ever think about when I hear “Mansard Roof” is that […]

Video: Vampire Weekend “Oxford Comma”

The last time I looked at Vampire Weekend’s videos, they did not have one for “Oxford Comma,” so I believe it’s safe to say that this video is relatively-brand-spanking-new-ish.
White and black suits, chapter-by-chapter narration, as our narrator takes us through a scene that happens on a farm. Near the end of Chapter 2, Ezra catches […]

Video: Vampire Weekend “A Punk”

So, I’m pretty sure I didn’t have this video up already. I did a quick check through my posts and I didn’t see it, which is a shame, because it’s one of the most adorable vids I’ve ever seen. This is for the song “A Punk,” and if you can resist the cuteness of little […]
