So! The new Marina and the Diamonds album - it's very… dance-y 80s, isn't it? I'm not saying it's a bad album, because it isn't, it's fun and great to sing along to while driving, but The Family Jewels had a certain edge to it, a bit of an honest nastiness about the world. And that edge is still sort of in Electra Heart in the lyrics, but it sort ( Read more... )

I'm sort of in awe at this gorgeous cover:

Hello Seahorse! - Luna. Because as much as I love Zoé, let's be honest, the original (youtube link here) is a bit of a forgetable ballad, but Hello Seahorse make it ethereal. It was similar with their duet with Zoé in Soñé, I sort of wanted to tell León to shut up and let the lady sing, haha. She has a ( Read more... )

Not gonna lie, I really liked the new Shrek movie. Probably because, you know, canonical AU, oh yes, I'm a sucker for those. To be honest, I sort of liked that reality better. AH WELL. Also, can we discuss just how awesome and amazing and kick ass Fiona was? YES. So anyway, it was cute, funny, bizarelly serious and epic at times (the resistance!) ( Read more... )

Seeing Arctic Monkeys live in a few hours! Wohoo! :DDD So excited about it. :3 Apparently the gig in Mexico City last night got rowdy, cause the tickets were oversold, but hopefully it'll be all right in here ( Read more... )

Heeeey. I saw Placebo on concert on Tuesday, which was the highlight of my week. WEE, PLACEBO. They mostly played songs from the new album, which is good, but not my favorite of them, but they played really well and I just love seeing them live. The gig was free, though (you had to win tickets via trivia games, etc) so half the people there didn't ( Read more... )

Got my glasses today, they're quite pretty. :3 It's really WEIRD to use them, though, I'm not used to have something limiting what I see, if you know what I mean? Yeah. Anyway, so far so good. Can't wait for the boy to see me with them, lol.

GUUUUUYS, I know of Sigur Rós but I've never really listened to that much of them, where should I start? ( Read more... )

Truth to be told, Metric's new album sort of disappointed me, barring a few songs, but Emily Haines' (sort of) solo work is quite captivating, in a soft, haunting way. It's nothing alike to her work for Metric, though, which might be a good thing? That means she won't leave the band, anyway, lol. Anyway, here's the new single, and not only the ( Read more... )

Genteeeee ( Read more... )

I went to see Watchmen on monday! And then failed to blog about it, lol. But! It is AWESOME. EEEEH. I really really loved it, it was quite thrilling to see how it translated to the screen. Is it without faults? Of course not, but you can't really expect perfection from this movie. In all, it was really well done, it looked fantastic and the changes ( Read more... )

My laptop is baaaack and seriously improved - for the last, oh, two or three months, it'd been running slower than a fucking snail, and it refused to have sound online, meaning no youtube for me (it's sad how one can miss watching movie trailers and boys kissing in foreign soap operas so much ( Read more... )
