"are you ticklish?"

Whenever a bad day decides it wants to try to creep into my life, I watch this and say, "peace out bad day!"

Bring on the Wild Things!

I have to say I am pretty F-ing excited for this movie. Arcade Fire booming during the preview just makes me more giddy! Pretty sure Where the Wild Things Are is going to be amazing! Spike Jonze + Awesome Music x Puppets = I'M THERE!!!

"and so the conversation turned...."

I'm really into this song, Marrow, by St. Vincent. I have been fulfilling my unexplained desire to experience the 80's this past week by seeing 2 great artists from the 80's and I went to see a remake of a great 80's movie. This current song is just adding to my self- indulgence. I was just surfing my music blogs like I do every Sunday and came across this terrific track. After the song ended, I promptly listened to Human League's "Fascination". And now, I give you BOTH songs! :)

"Some people say Anna is like Madonna..."

I am on the Vogue train. BIG TIME! Unfortunately, I have been known in the past to shout "READ YOUR VOGUE!!" when I see a completely heinous outfit on the street. (i.e., hot pink UGG boots with fringed jean shorts or "jorts", tube top, a scarf, and a denim jacket in 100 degree weather!! WHAT THE F*&^K?!) I'm sorry but you deserve the wrath if you're wearing something that doesn't make ANY sense and if you were wearing that outfit, odds are you were probably in yesterday's make-up as well.

Anywhooo, I am so excited for the movie, "The September Issue"! It came out Sept. 11. It's coined as the REAL Devil Meets Prada. This documentary about the making of the September issue of Vogue, the biggest issue of the year, has me all bajiggity inside and I can't wait to watch Ms. Anna in action!




" 20 seconds til the last call..."

I know, I know, the song is in a commercial.CHEESY, but I can't help it, I have to jump up from wherever my location is and start shakin that ass every time I hear 1901.
I first heard Phoenix and their song "Everything is Everything" maybe a couple years ago and I liked it as well. 1901 has a completely different sound from Everything is Everything and that's exactly why I like them. 2 songs that don't sound anything alike from the same band. That's what I'm talkin about. For your ear holes I have provided both songs.... if anyone even reads this. If no one reads this shameless stream of words of mine called "the blog", then it just means I have Phoenix at my reach whenever I get the "shakin that ass" urge. (which happens a lot) :)

rememba..rememba...rememba

Last night I went to see Pat Benatar and Berlin. Those ladies still got it!!Today I am going to see FAME! I am not embarrassed to say that I am going to the first showing of it! Feels like I have been in an 80's time warp the last 2 days and it's been wonderful! :)

Hauntingly good.



This song by Lightning Dust was the perfect end to my day. If you like Siouxsee, Portishead, or old school Dead Can Dance, then you'll probably fall in love like I did after listening to this track.

Newest SSPU video - "Substitution"



I love me some Silversun Pickups! I may be inspired to have a Silversun Pickups vs. Black Eyed Peas musical chairs party!

Newsflash! Miley doesn't sing so well. Who knew?!.. Oh that's right, EVERYBODY!

I never thought I would ever post a Kelly Clarkson video or talk about Miley Cyrus for that matter, but this was too good to pass up. I think what the girls really meant to say was:
"Dear Miley,
You suck ass and will always be mediocre. We're going to show you how it should have been done. xoxo"

....

Girl looking out of window

divorce
numerous horrid relationships
therapy
bad roommate
then another bad roommate
more therapy
prescribed meds.
job loss
starting over...again.
still kicking, screaming, and fighting, determined to reach her full potential.

Hmmmm... probably NOT what the wee little princess above is thinking as she stares out her window. She's probably thinking a little more positively than my dark and terribly realistic interpretation. I bet she's thinking about grilled cheese sandwiches and unicorns... :)

"In a dream we are connected...siamese twins"

V Festival 2008 - Gold Coast

I heart the Smashing Pumpkins. A LOT!! I think they are the only band since 1995 that I have been sure to see every time they come to town. I know the last few years have been a revolving door of members joining then leaving the band but my heart remains a big fan no matter what. That being said, Billy Corgan has a blog out. It's a journal documenting his personal thought process regarding the mind, body and soul. It is a real beauty of a read if you are into it. Check it out. http://www.everythingfromheretothere.com/

Clock Strikes Upon the Hour....



I had the day free and caught the Oprah show with Whitney Houston. She just came out with a new album and it was a really great interview! I forgot how much I loved Whitney Houston!! I know I probably just aged myself by proclaiming old school love for Whitney, but whatevs! THE BODYGUARD??! HELLO! "And I-I-I-I-I-I will always love yooooou ooooh ooooh I-I-I-I will always love yoooooou...." loves it! Anyway she looks like she's got it together and back to her old self pre-crackhead Bobby Brown.

I just had to post a video of one of my favorite songs by her EVAHH!! The video also brings back a great memory of catching my mom laughing hysterically at me while I was in the mirror lip synching to the song and determined to learn the dance moves from the video! :)
some things never change...I still do that! lol!

Holiday Travelers Experience Heavy Traffic And High Gas Prices

Spent the day in my car while my 17 year old niece drove with her permit for the first time. She's pretty good! I still needed to bring my heart rate down after we were done, though! Not because she was bad but because I am now in that age group where I grab onto things while she makes a perfectly fine turn or I press on the imaginary break that is on the passenger side. :)

But seriously...you did great, Chels bells!

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!......awesome

Who sings that song?

Music CD Prices Cut By Universal Music Group

I have had an absurdly pathetic amount of free time on my hands lately but have been taking advantage of it by discovering some new bands. I am a music lover to the core and get really excited when I find something I like. Here are some bands that I think are worth you clicking the mouse a few extra times to listen to their music....Japandroids are fun jump around garage rock, Meiko is lovely, angelic and folky. I have been talking about her for a while and won't rest until everyone loves her as much as I do. Company of Thieves is an indie pop band with a sassy female singer.

Fashion Week, Bitches

L.A.M.B - Presentation - Spring 2010 MBFW

For those of you who know me, you know that I am a HUGE Gwen fan! Her fashion line, L.A.M.B., kicked off Fashion Week today and the clothes were H..O..T! If I had a genie and got 3 wishes, they would be: 1) singing with Gwen at the top of our lungs in the car while on a road trip, 2) work with her on the designs for her clothing company, L.A.M.B., and 3) have a girl's night out where we all go dancing, drink too many Tecate beers, shake that ass to JT then end the night with #4 combos from Del Taco! :)
