Lost

is the best show ever! I didn't think I would cry. I cried. I feel complete. The ending was so beautiful. I'm gonna miss this show. It was a bittersweet ending.

Popworld

In in interview with Hurts, Theo, the lead singer said something that I really agree with.
"We do. It's something I've never really done in my life, but we've been listening to a lot of female artists. A lot of Florence and Marina. At the moment people are doing pop music on their own terms again. The British are good at that. The Americans don't do it really, they do everything in a mass way. We have a great history of people being alone and doing it themselves. People sometimes ask "is that too pop to be indie," or "too indie to be pop?" That shouldn't exist anymore. The whole idea is that uniqueness. Now we've got a pop landscape that's very interesting because no-one is similar. If you look at all the breakthrough acts the only thread is that they all do pop music in their own way."

Name two American pop stars that are truly unique? Two that have a very distinctive sound and are in control with what they're doing and what they want to do.

Rantdom Ranting: Charles Dickens

I have been trying to read David Copperfield for over a year already, and I am only a bit more than halfway through. Since then I've read a whole bunch of other books for school and on the side. I've read a Charles Dickens' book before. I know I can do it, I just don't know how long it will take me. I want to finish it NOW! David Copperfield is the most boring/interesting book ever. I mean sometimes it just draaaaaags on and then all of a sudden it gets reeeeeeeeally good. What sucks is that I can't stop, I want to know what happens to David Copperfield!

So I will keep reading. I think I'll use Jane Austen as my motivation. At the end of this road Jane Austen is waiting for me with her not tedious books. Yay!

Goodness Charles Dickens why are your book so long. Oh I know why! You write down every darn detail! I do not need to know every single little aspect of David's life!

Yes ladies and gentlemen this is self inflicted punishment. I don't have to read this book for school. I'm reading it just because. And it doesn't seem like I've learned my lesson because Great Expectations, Nicholas Nickleby, A Tale of Two Cities, and The Christmas Carol are all on my list.

Charles Dickens, I don't know what to say. I guess I'll say this: I love your stories, but it's just that sometimes your love for detail can be a wee bit irritating. Maybe I keep reading because characters are realistic, funny, and overall entertaining.

Every once in a while I get scared thinking that

I think that the reason why I have a hard time choosing a favorite song is that there's always going to be one better than the other.

My head hurts I've been listening to music on my headphones with the volume up high for a couple of hours, but I don't care. The pain is so worth it. I love Music.

I find it funny when people say I'm a shut-in, because they all believe it's self-inflicted. It's not, if I had a way out I'd probably never be home. OK maybe I would, but I would go out, I'd probably spend most of my time at the music store and at Disneyland, I can''t wait to start driving.

Now off to better things...I think this might be my favorite song...I dunno I'll have to think about it. I couldn't choose between them, so I decided to post the two. I think I like the first one a bit more.



When I came home today I found U-2. I remember feeling really scared and confused when U-1 came out. I was afraid of clicking on the play button, especially when I saw the creepy sitting down like Gollum. And then the puppet! That puppet is probably one of the scariest things I have ever seen. Not only is the puppet scary, but the song she sings is pretty scary too, it's buatiful, but scary. It's kind of like a lullaby, it makes me want to just close my eyes and forget about everything there is, and just focus on here lovely voice. Jonna Lee has a beautiful voice and this song attests to it.


Now today when I came home I did my daily check up on the iamamiwhoami youtube page, and I thought "oh they changed U-1's picture, it's no longer the scary puppet, it's the creepy guy," and then I noticed the creepy puppet's picture below, and I thought "No way! there's a new video," so I clicked on it, and as I was watching I became more confused and disturbed. The creepy guy was now even creepier for what he does in the video. I mean he shakes his booty like there is no tomorrow. It's kind of funny if you think about it after you're eyes have been molested. Well, it's not that disturbing, it's just weird, but weird is good.I like weird so I guess in the end, I don't mind. Now, I advise you to play U-2, but scroll down or go look at something else, just listen to the lovely song, unless you don't mind watching a guy in his underwear, who has a beard made out of tape, shake his hips.


I love iamamiwhoami, and because I love this project so much, and becuase I'm feeling controversial, I will say this: Lady Gaga and all the other crazy famous Popstars of today have nothing on iamamiwhoami, and while we're at it, they ain't got nothing on Fever Ray/ The Knife. By the way I have not shared my new favorite music video with you, whoever you are. This is it.

P.S. I have nothing against Lady Gaga and all the crazy popstars of today, it's just that scary tree lady covered in tape who runs in the forest liking trees is too cool, and there's other reasons, but it will take too long to explain maybe in another post. Next time.
Phew...that was long.


I just love the way Karin looks at them.

P.P.S. Since no one I know is following this whole iamamiwhoami business, I think I'll think I'll keep writing about it on here. I've tried to explain it to a couple of people, but they all stare at me like I'm crazy or something. It's pretty entertaining. :)

I'm pretty sure they're each by separate artists though.
