It's the last day of summer, and I figured that just because summer is ending, that doesn't mean the summery music has to stop. So here's a playlist that I put together for myself a little while ago, and I thought I'd share it with you guys. It's in two parts, the first half being more mellow and the second half being more upbeat. It's fairly ( Read more... )

I've always thought that P Diddy is a tool - the stupid name, the constant self-promotion, the general lack of talent he has despite all the the things he's involved in, just to name a few reasons. Well, I saw him on Ellen this morning, and he just reinforced my view. No, he made it worse, actually, because it turns out he's somehow involved in ( Read more... )

I'm trying something new called Music Monday. Each week, I'll post a couple songs I'm into at the moment. This will encourage me to post more, and you guys get free music, so everyone benefits. :) To start things off, here's a Dean Winchester fanmix, centered around the ideas of saving one's soul, damnation and possible redemption. It's pretty ( Read more... )

Let's face it, Christmas music is like fruitcake - we bring it out every year, even though most of us can't stand it. But it doesn't have to be this way. There's good music out there if you go looking. So I've put together a collection of songs that don't suck. When your relatives bust out the Wham!, you can put this on instead. :) And it's not ( Read more... )

I don't really have much to say, but I feel like I should update. So let me tell you about the Feist concert I went to on Monday. It was BC Day, so there was this big free concert downtown with one of the guys from the Guess Who, Sarah McLachlan and Feist, among others. Except there were at least fifty thousand people there, so there was no way we ( Read more... )

Among the many things I loved about Veronica Mars was its use of music. The show introduced me to a lot of stuff that I probably never would've heard of otherwise. However, for a show that was film noir inspired, it didn't really sound all that noir to me. So, I started wondering: well, what does noir sound like? This was the result.

It's along the ( Read more... )

Woo, I've been productive this weekend! I spent most of yesterday trying to find a layout I liked, and finally came across this one. Isn't it pretty? Also changed my mood theme to one that matches it better. Using the Admin Console for that is sooo much easier than the mood theme editor that I used the first time - that took forever, having to ( Read more... )

It is unbearably hot today, like over 30C. I think we're going to set a new record. It's times like this I wish I had air conditioning. I've got a fan going, but it's just blowing hot air around, so it's not really helping. I like summer, but sometimes I wish it would go by faster. Anyway, a few days ago, dangermousie was asking for music recs. So for her and ( Read more... )

A few days ago, winter_baby did a post about guilty pleasure songs. One of them was a mash-up featuring the Arcade Fire and the Black Eyed Peas, which sounds like an odd combination, but somehow totally works.
A mash-up, for those who don't know, is when two or more songs are combined to make something new. Usually it involves the beat from one song with the ( Read more... )
