No need to say goodbye

May 26, 2008

I just got back from seeing the new Narnia movie, which by the way was WAYYY too long for my attention span but it kinda got interesting towards the end. Anyways, near the end of the movie, this song started playing and I was like oh wtf this is helllaaa cheesy (because of the scene the song was paired with.) But then I listened closer and realized who was singing it. Regina Spektor. Ahh I love that woman. Her songs are amazing. And I love this one too. I don’t know if she wrote is specifically for the movie or not, but I still like it. It made me tear up a bit. Oh but only a bit.

“The Call” by Regina Spektor
(I tried to find a video that didn’t have to do with Narnia…but that didn’t happen.)

 

Death Cab For Cutie never fails

May 15, 2008

ksjgh;kd don’t have much time. quick post.

Death Cab For Cutie’s new album came out yesterday. I haven’t gotten a chance to pick it up yet.

Narrow Stairs

The first single from their new CD is called “I Will Posess Your Heart.” It is 8 minutes and 31 second long, and the vocals don’t start until about 4:46. Just watch the music video. DCFC never dissapoints! Unless you’re not into this sort of thing. Then it will probably make you fall asleep.

Whatever. I like it. It’s different than what they normally do. It’s not one of their bests, but I sitll like it. Kind of. I need to buy the album and listen to the rest of it before I decide anything. But like I said before, it’s Death Cab. They never fail :]


 

hay hayyy

May 12, 2008

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve been swamped with work and school and such.

Anyways, I just wanted to talk about a new song that Cute Is What We Aim For just posted on their myspace. Honestly, I never liked Cute that much. Well, some of the songs from their old album are pretty good, but they are really shitty live. Shaant is not a very good singer. Sure, he sounds good on a recorded track…but that’s a recorded track. Which means it’s most likely processed.
But I must say, I like their new song “Practice Makes Perfect.” It follows the same theme of typical teenage high school issues that everyone can relate to, which Cute generally tends to write about. Growing up is a tough thing that everyone has to go through, which is why a lot of people like Cute’s music. It’s catchy and they can relate. So even though this song isn’t too original, I still really like it. So listen up and comment letting me know what YOU think of it!

Today Fueld By Ramen/Decaydance is taking over TRL! I’m so stoked!

We The Kings

May 2, 2008

We The Kings is an awesome powerpop/rock band. Their lyrics are catchy and their melodies are upbeat and happy. It’s weird, I didn’t think they were that big. I remember listening to them last year when no one knew who they were.
