UGH

I've learned already that I smoke at work because it gives me a decent reason to get five minutes away from people that annoy me, and I smoke in the car because driving gets to be boring as hell after two hours.
That is all.

For Rachel

In case you don't have it on the computer you are using now, here's Hey There Delilah, because you need to have it.

Guess what I learned

How to Embed Videos! Yay for me.

Probably my favourite music video of all time. For serious.



(Ray LaMontagne & Damien Rice - To Love Somebody) Cover of an old BeeGee's song. I've never heard the original, and I don't imagine I'll go out of my way to hear it, this version is awesome enough for me.

(!!! (Chk Chk Chk) - Yadnus) I listened to them the first time, because of their name, but all the times after that have been because of the quality of the music. I love it.

(Electric President - Label My Mind, Blown) I posted a song by these guys last week, and love this one as well, so here you go.

(Jeremy Fisher - Jolene) Check out his music videos on YouTube, they are pretty awesome, especially the one for "Cigarette"

Speaking of cigarettes, I finished my pack last night, and I plan on seeing how long I can go without a smoke. About a month ago I made it five days with out realizing (finished my smokes on a Sunday, bought a pack the following morning, and they sat on my dashboard until friday when I finally opened the pack and had one). So I'm going to try this again, but being aware of it will probably make it harder, oh well. So yeah, my life is very exciting

I hate blogs, I just made up a whole post, and clicked to post, but I couldnt use "!!!" as a label, and therefore lost the whole post. So.. I guess I'll re-do it tomorrow, because I don't care enough right now. I'm going to go watch the video for "what goes around comes around" by Justin Timberlake, later blog people.

quick quick

I've got a few quickies for you while I kill some time before crashing at the office.

(Pink Nasty - Burn) That's right, a cover of usher, and I love it. Nice and slow, haven't heard the original in a while, so I can't really compare them, but good none-the-less.

(Electric President - Good Morning, Hypocrite) Heard this one today, nice and chillin until the end where it picks up beautifully.

(Bloc Party - The Prayer) While I do have a couple remixes for this, the original (or at least album version) is much better then one of them. (The other remix, by Hadouken is right HERE)

(REM Feat. Eddie Vedder - Man On The Moon live) I used to be obsessed with REM, and more recently with Pearl Jam, so this just seems appropriate. There's some video of this being performed live somewhere out there on youtube or something, you should look for it if you like this song.

(Danny Malone - Sweet Annabelle) I have this on one of my mixes for the car, and I pretty much sing it at the top of my lungs when I'm alone. It has a country vibe, but also pop garage band or something.

(Versus The Mirror/ - Birthed By Architecture) Reminds me so much of Underoath (which until now, I didn't know they had a new CD, gotta check that out), but as I was saying to Laura, I don't know if it's a "good" remind or not, hard to tell. It's decent, pretty heavy for my tastes though.


That is definitely enough links and music for me for tonight. I need to do some mindless knitting or something (of course while listening to all of this).
As a side, what I'd intended to be a quick post turned out to probably get the most work put into it out of any post I've done before. That's probably only interesting to me.

birds birds birds

So I stumbled across this song the other day, it is a techno song made entirely from bird calls, BIRD TECHNO!! It's by Dominik Eulberg and he says (in german) what each bird is, and what sound they made in the song (I think, but since I really verify what he's saying, I don't really care).

By the way, this was posted for Laura, and in return I need her to send me the install file for msn, because I tried last night, and failed miserably. So yeah, get on that Laura.

STOP

I want to talk to you

My latest obsession has to be Mika. I love his whole "Freddie Mercury" voice, it's glorious.

Mika - Relax Take It Easy - I am in love with this.

Mika - Grace Kelly - This is on the radio, and posted more so you know who I'm talking about.

Mika - Grace Kelly (Pull Tiger Tail Remix) Remix of the above song, which I heard first, and therefore enjoy more. I don't understand how that works, but it seems that's how things work with me.

Check out his Myspace for more songs.

Rock, Chill, Not Serious and The Format

The files below were primarily for Rachel to listen to, since when she asked me to do this she had no music on her computer, but I'm slow and she has some now. I figured I may as well post these anyway, so feel free to download them for your own listening pleasure. I put them into four sections for easier downloading, plus if you only want one section you can do that. There's "rock" which is about as rock-esque as I go, other then radio. There's "chill" which is kind of backgroundy stuff, but very good. Then "not serious" which has clips from comedians and wierd songs. Finally there's "the format" who are just so awesome, I had to put a CDs worth up. Enjoy.
