I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ronnie Martin of Joy Electric is THE reason that I like music. If I hadn't stumbled upon Joy Electric's album "Robot Rock", I probably would not have fallen in love with music the way I have. Music went from a cool thing to have in the background to something worth really listening to and enjoying, and my ( Read more... )

I really want a hula hoop now. Even though I'd probably kill myself somehow.

Also: Where did I get this Paramore album? It's been in my iTunes for a while now, but I can't remember where I got it. After seeing this video I listened to it, and I've been listening to it all day, and I really like it. Oh, the joys of mystery music on my computer.

I got the Dispatch album "Bang Bang", and it is wonderful. Pandora introduced me to this band, on my Athlete/Weepies/Nickel Creek station, and ohhhhhh love. I will have to upload "The General" later ( Read more... )

Audiosurf + Joy Electric's "We Are Rock" (the Echoing Green Remix) = YES.

OH MY STARS YES.

LIKE WHOA.

CAPSLOCK YESSSSSSSS, EVEN.

So Jess started this music mix meme thing, and called it Lester. The point is to make a mix of 10 favorite songs that fit you, not using any artist more than once. Then you post the mix and we all swap and then make a new mix of our favorite tracks from each of the mixes we got.

Before I begin this review of 2007, I want to link to this entry on the Astro Prof Feed about the "Time Balls". It's the origin of the ball that is dropped on New Years Eve in Times Square ever year. It is pretty interesting! I thought so, anyways.
