"She's as hard as AC/DC, she gets my thunder struck"
taking a break from the packing. down to the wire now, there are just a bunch of smaller tasks to do, as well as pack. i've been running around the house most of the day, upstairs downstairs, tripping over cats and only pausing to check the soccer scores. (aww, i just saw a commercial for the CFL - so cute! and still... nothing compared to the World Cup, haha) since my precious laptop died my main source of music has been MuchMoreMusic on tv, haha. especially here at home, in the basement where i just get basic cable, the channel is on as i pack.
after long (and ongoing) obsessions with Dido, Florence and the Machine, Just Jack, Kate Nash, and whoever else, it's about time i found some young Canucks to appreciate!
it hasn't taken long for me to fall in love with Down with Webster. when you find a band of seven cute guys from Toronto who play eclectic, catchy music with clever, cheeky lyrics - i'm sold! Down with Webster is just that. they are SO adorable, and so talented. they were on a tour of the States, but came back to their hometown last Friday. of course, cos i'm busy here i couldn't see them. (damn you, England!) this weekend they're actually playing at CanFest in Port Stanley. (which band knows where Port Stanley is?!) even though it'd be possible to stay over with my aunt for the night there, i don't feel like spending my last night in Canada out partying on the beach, eeek.
as it were, i still love this band. they've proved themselves to be more than one-hit wonders, and i'm very proud that they're Canadian! their music is irresistible, and their videos are pure fun! all seven men ooze charisma, but none more so than the three vocalists: Pat, Cam and Bucky. some would say seven is too many, but it absolutely works for them. makes you wonder why all bands don't have hype men and DJs! personally, Pat is my favourite. i mean, i say that having never met him but watching him sing? mmm... it does something to me. he moves well and has a wonderfully raspy voice. don't think i've ever been so damned attracted to a singer. with seven men to choose from, there's a type of sexiness for every girl to enjoy!
anyway, here are a few of my favourite songs of theirs so you can judge for yourselves. couldn't help adding a few annotations!
oh, gorgeous gorgeous Pat. i could eat him up. and bless Cam for wearing a Jays cap, haha.
1:01 - i LOVE when the background bass kicks in here!
2:12 - Pat Gillett, marry me.
2:32 - these three are too cute! that bounce makes me grin wildly.
3:00 - beeeats
"The doors are open, baby, light my fire." how can you not move to the beat of this? aaaaah, so good. (helps that Pat is sex personified.) can't you imagine how awesome it would be to see them live?! they're supposed to be incredible performers. and i mean really, who brings a brass trio onstage, plus sax? so much fun.
can't help smiling this entire video's duration. i love how the music first kicks in too, full of joy. i saw the making-of video for this, made it look like they had a fun time filming and it endeared me to the individual members of the band.
0:53 - hello, sweet Diggy!
1:05, 1:22 - more Pat-love
2:19 - cutie Cam
less than six days now! today's been quite productive. Sophie's currently running around in awkward agony cos we put a collar on her. i've never seen her so ticked! but if she's anything like Whisky, she'll get used to in a few hours, but god is she funny now. she's wound up all the other cats and Mikesh clawed me quite nicely. but oh, they're so adorabl. i'm going to miss these kitties.
in honour of mine and Down with Webster's glorious nation's upcoming birthday, i've changed my layout to reflect more Canadian colours. no worries, my Nationalelf icon will still be used in football-related posts! thankfully, we'll be back from Ottawa in time to see them give Maradona's boys a run for their money.
PS - know what upstages all this fangirly joy? the amazing new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. why is November so far awayyyy? am literally bouncing up and down with excitement.
