Spent the last twenty minutes ogling at a YouTube person's profile. She did a bunch of cover songs and all of them are just wonderful...I really think she's beautiful. I am rendered speechless. She also makes handmade stuff (found at Etsy, but I'm not linking to it as I'm planning on buying one of her pieces later and someone might beat me to it =P ( Read more... )

...asks my friend Alex to The National. The lead singer walks off the stage and grabs a whole box of mineral water, hands the box to Alex. Everyone rushes to grab some, including me...(at the last minute)

I just saw The National play at The Basement a few hours ago. They were amazing. The best thing? I was honestly in the front row, dead center!! ( Read more... )

Had a pretty much uneventful day. I watched most of Imagine: John Lennon on VH1 Classics. I love that music channel...I watch almost anything (provided it's not a bloody rerun) from that channel, from the BBC performances up to 100 Greatest Songs of the 80s (furiously overplayed, by the way). Regarding the rockumentary, it just seemed to me that ( Read more... )

I’m riding down Kingsley,
figuring I’ll get a drink
Turn the radio up loud,
so I don’t have to think

Bruce Springsteen's Something In the Night is all kinds of awesome. His stuff is just fucking perfect road music. Anyway, lately I've been having little epiphanies about musical tastes. I think people are missing the whole point of music. It's ( Read more... )

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your livejournal along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.Note -- No new stuff, just a bunch ( Read more... )

Syd Barrett dies at 60. Thanks for the heads up, girlflesh.

The GNeil posted a picture from Stardust! Ooh ooh this has me very excited, indeed. I think it's really going to be brilliant. He's posted pictures from the Stardust set before (search his journal, I'm too lazy) but this is an official one, so. Squee!

Speaking of the Gaiman... *swooning ( Read more... )

I am listening to Wolfmother right now and I'm really digging the stuff. Redemption is to experience a current band that sounds just like all those other bands that I find myself attracted to, but are no longer together. I love how they don't sound like The White Stripes, except in some songs. I love how they sound more like garage/psychedelic rock ( Read more... )

I'm going to pull a GNeil and post a bunch of links to get rid of some tabs:

Famous LiveJournals, including the infamous Rachelle Waterman's, thanks inquibbler for the heads up;
Underrated Soundtracks at Stereogum; and
How to Write a Thank-You Note.

That is all, goodnight! :)

So here I am in my room just thinking about The Replacements and wondering if their temporary reunion would result to a tour or some show...and that if they ever do perform somewhere, I want to be there. It's not too late. Words that I never thought I can say since I was too young during their "moment", and too oblivious a little after it. I know ( Read more... )

I haven't stressed enough: The Replacements are "reuniting". They're coming out with two new songs in a "best of" album, plus a boxed set soon. Only thing left is for someone to resurrect Bob Stinson. Am I dreaming? If so, I'm dreaming of a post-punk utopia ( Read more... )
