Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses

Ugh ugh ugh see this.

The Twilight soundtrack is going to be better than the movie. I mean! Thom Yorke, Muse, Death Cab, Grizzly Bear? Are they trying to make people who refuse to watch the movie buy the soundtrack? :/ At least half of those are indie artists. And the idea of Thom Yorke writing a song for a teenage vampire film is kind of upsetting. Although people have pointed out that a) we get a new song! and b) Exit Music was a good song, and it was written for teenage Romeo and Juliet.

To make myself feel better, have some scathing comments.

Okay that's done with... This is adorable.

I watched like ten different performances of this. *sheepish* And I'm not even a big fan of the The Fray. They are so cute though, and they're having so much fun. And I love the singer's voice and the way he speaks Spanish. *cough*

Also, Thom is all kinds of brilliant and has new songs you can listen to here. And I should not read comments... They are endlessly amusing but also upsetting. Youtube wars for the win. Heh.

Edit: I end Prelims tomorrow! For anyone who's asking.

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

Oh my god.

This is amazing.

Did I mention I love strings? And brass? So much. Orchestral version of just about anything will make me happy. 3.14 makes me want to cry.

And to quote one of the comments: cant stop listening to this when the full orchestra comes in at the end.....3.13 to be just mildly obsessed the hairs on my neck feel like ive put my fingers in a plug socket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another one:

P.S- Natalie misses me! Hee.

Lie to Me

Things that made me happy today:

I filched my dad's music from his thumbdrive... I now have A LOT of new music.

Yesterday my brother was watching track and field events on TV and he was commenting on how scary the runners' thighs were and I said did you notice how triangular some of them are, especially swimmers, and he said Michael Phelps looks like a guardian wolf (on wolfteam) which cracked me up so hard. (Okay I can't find a good picture but it's true.)

Armed with coffee and bio notes and I have to study before I fall asleep again.

Diddly dum

The internet is full of amazing people and things.

This is awesome, by the way. (Please watch it.) Festival fun!

I actually had a lot more to say... But that was yesterday and blogger wasn't cooperating. And now I am studying. (Yes I know! So rare.)

OMG BLOGGER WORKS AGAIN

I heart Owen Pallett. (Happy 30th birthday!)

Will someone throw me a birthday party featuring thirty bands for my thirtieth birthday? It would be so awesomely cool. Though probably more fun in theory than in practice...

I have Dark Was The Night!!!! More hearts liek srsly.

And randomly, a quote from the Dark Was The Night album website:

2 tickets to see Dark Was The Night Live at Radio City on May 3. (No nose bleeds…Orchestra seats. These seats are “Matt Berninger might possibly step on you” great.)

...Matt Berninger! (He's the singer for The National, scroll down to listen.)

Had study session of sorts with Jasmine and Gail and umm I did not really study but Gail obviously did. But it was awesome to hang out with them again. And Hamsty I can't believe you like the smell of markers/glue/petrol!!
