So school is officially out for summer. Yes, I know it is only April, but I am still pumped. So to celebrate the beginning of summer, and a throwback to all of the 90's kids. Here is a classic...
I love the opening to this song. It is so simple yet so direct. Note: If you are listening with earbuds you will only be able to hear it in one for the first few seconds, and if you put only the other in you can hear someone giggle in the other ear.
I love the line "We're just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl." So beautiful. Anyways, I heard this today, and was reminded of how much I love this song.
Well, it has been a while. I guess I have to work on getting back into the swing of posting. The semester is ending, and I am getting all my last minute project editing in. Today, I heard a great oldie at work. My work has come along way in terms of music. It was horrific a few years ago.
Lady Gaga, I love her, and her music. This song was the introduction to her music. I was so against her music, then I saw this video and it was like a light came on. I have been hooked ever since. She represents so much for a generation. She reminds me of a Pop Artist Andy Warhol.
Let's take a minute to revel in the oh so 90's gear. Acid wash shorts and a cow print button down. Fantastic!
The art is kind of interesting in the background, and the lead being doused in blue paint, very Post Modern. The colors help counter act the very grey week we have had.
Todays' awesome musical goodness comes from the band Phoenix, whose new album is highly anticipated, by ME! Their new album is called Bankrupt, out April 23rd 2013. I really hope that they do a full US Tour.
So my teacher asks us what is our Optimism Filter. What do you need to have a positive day?
My Optimism Filter today has been copious amounts of chocolate. It was so grey today I think it had a direct effect on my mood. It makes me feel sluggish, and grumpy.
SO! I chose sleep over blogging last night. My apologies to anyone who may be following, if you are out there. For that I bring to you a two-fer. Two videos I just recently saw and was impressed by the innovation and mad choreography.
SO, I went on a No Doubt/Gwen Stefani Youtube binge last night. I am just sort of introducing myself to the new album Push and Shove. Nothing beats Tragic Kingdom though, and their mainstream arrival to the music scene. They blew my mind.
It is interesting to see the bands metamorphosis. Just A Girl will always have a special place in my heart. The guitar riffs, and of course being a girl I can relate to the subject matter.
4 In The Morning was a song off of Gwen's album. The video seemed really authentic, and her style is fabulous in this video..
As a wrap up I think Running is a great video to show the growth of the band. It has a great montage of photos of the band. I love this song too. They lyrics are great, and the delicateness of the song.
I heard because they were on such a role with songs, that instead of rushing to tour they were heading back to the studio to work on additional songs. This is one show I will NOT miss!
This song is for good luck on the purchasing of Lumineers Tickets tomorrow! I love them so much, they have gotten so much play in my car these past months. They have such a great vibe to their music. I am psyched they are coming to town soon. I really thought I had missed out on seeing them. This summer is shaping up to have some great shows.
This song is fantastic for spazzing out on. I love every aspect of it, the climaxes musically are fantastic. I saw them live and this song by far was one of the songs I danced hard to.
I don't know if this link will work. So here is another Date With The Night.
This song is off their first album, which blew my mind. It has a lot of good songs. They were initially recognized for Maps, but there are so many good songs on the album, titled Fever to Tell. (This does not include the underground stuff, that I am not familiar with. Another great song on this album is Cold Light.
Their second album I wasn't in love with till a few years after it came out. I had it but didn't really listen to it. I may have just been in a different phase, but my FAVORITE off that album is Phenomena!! Love it!
It's Blitz came out in 2009 which seems like yesterday. Again with some amazing songs, and some crazy videos, Zero and Heads Will Roll.
Their newest album Mosquito comes out April 16th, so stoked. Their newest single off the album is Sacrilege. I hope they come back to the Detroit Metro Area soon.
