2009 Mix, so far
I've been Smart (TM) this year with my mix(es). I started a playlist on iTunes at the beginning of the year and just kept adding songs as they struck my fancy or reminded me of events. Thus far, I have ( Read more... ) -
Songs from Literature
I had intended on making volume two to the Shakespeare disc I made for Will's birthday. Well, that might still be on the agenda, but, instead, I've been working on a smiliar playlist: Songs Inspired by Works of Liteature. I just need to narrow it down. So far I have:
U2 - "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" (lyrics by Salman Rushdie, from the novel of ( Read more... ) -

Well, Rutgers Camden Law is looking more and more likely. I basically just have to write my personal statement. I just need a topic ( Read more... ) -
Richard Loves PLJ; Elvis will be in the building; Caffeine; Billy Shakes under the stars; and PIE!
New Project: A mixed CD of pop songs Richard really hates to admit he loves. Also known as - the musical equivalent of porn stuffed between the mattresses that you're hiding from your mom at 16.
1) Britney Spears - "Toxic"
2) matchbox twenty - "Bright Lights"

I had emergency oral surgery yesterday morning. I went to the dentist on Thursday for my bi-annual check-up, and he said one of my molars was cracking from A) a too large filling; and B) the wisdom tooth next to it was growing in sideways putting a lot of pressure on it from underneath the gum. Nothing hurt, but he said it would start sooner ( Read more... ) -
Canada
Driving home from Jason's house last night, my iPod randomized The Funeral by The Arcade Fire. Awesomeness, naturally, but it got me to thinking:
In pop culture terms, what is the value of Canada?
ProsConsTotalsMusicArcade Fire: +2 (they're just THAT awesome)
Our Lady Peace: +1
Jagged Little Pill Alanis: +1Nickelback: -1

"I'm still these nervous feet and heart of stone/Forget this dead man's town, I'll take you home"
The Gaslight Anthem were AMAZING!!!! Oh, man. As if I wasn't obsessed enough already... Seriously, people - listen to this band. If I had to describe what it means to be from New Jersey, I would just hand someone a copy of The '59 Sound. And, because Jason has cajones grandes, Justine finally got to meet Brian Fallon (lead vocals/guitar) and ( Read more... ) -
Hamlet at Wittenberg
I awoke with a Shakespearean query and "High Lonesome" by The Gaslight Anthem coursing through my brain. The latter is probably because we're going to see them tonight (!!!) and I've been listening obsessively for weeks. The former is thus:
( While at Wittenberg University, what was it that Hamlet studied? ) -
*squeeks!*
Kristina had better expect me over her house every single Sunday now that we don't have HBO anymore. Oh, Sam Merlotte...*twitterpation*
I'm not sure how many episodes there will be left of The Tudors, but there looks like there will be a minimum lull between the end of that and the beginning of True Blood. Woot for still having awesomely ( Read more... )
