So much John Frusciante.

MoZella's album The Brian Holland Sessions.

YES.

Yellowcard's new "Southern Air" album. SO GOOD. Also, it just quoted Yoda. "When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes" was alright, but Southern Air is kicking its butt so far.

Despite having tepid feelings about Taylor Swift at best, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is the second song of hers that I've found entirely infectious (the first being "Mean").

I just kind of have a passionate thing for teenagers and overly italicized speech (see: Salinger) and audible eye-rolling. I love it. Like this freaking hilarious spoken section of the bridge:

So, he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you."
And I'm like, I just... I mean, this is exhausting, you know?
Like, we are never getting back together.
Like, ever.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

It's even better that I'm 10 days out from my wedding and I am prancing around the apartment in my pajamas, blithely singing "We are never, ever, ever getting back together!" while David looks on in bewilderment.

What a weird coincidence, Adam. Totally thought about that song for the first time in years this morning, when mentally comparing it to Gangnam Style.

Adam?

Crap, Brain. What am I thinking?

I refuse to edit it.

It's not Brain either. It's Josh, dude. JOSH.

It's not Brain either. It's Josh, dude. JOSH.

Well, I mean, technically Brain is a Josh, so he isn't too far off.

GOSH.

DARNIT.

It's ok, Tony, I forgive you.

Nooooooooooooooo, I don't want to be the new Tony!

Heeeeeeeeeeey~ sexy lady....


Someone please, pretty please get that song out of my head. Please? (PSY - Gangnam Style)

I'm with you on that one! A guy I work with will not stop singing it! I'm not even sure i've heard the song all the way though, but it's always in my head.

Kesha's new single "Die Young."

I don't care. This song is single-handedly responsible for getting me back to the gym.

One of the best wedding gifts we got (and we got a lot of amazing, homemade, funny and gorgeous gifts) was a four-hour long mixed cd labeled "Honeymoon Road Trip" to listen to on our long (longer than four hours) drive up to Grand Marais.

The entire cd is AMAZING. But one of the best songs on it is "Ho Hey" by the Lumineers. I'd never heard it before then, and now suddenly it's on the radio all the time. I heard it in the car on the way to work this morning and just started crying. So many powerful, music-related memories surround the start of my marriage.


(The other song I'm currently obsessed with from that mixed cd is "Sunrise" by Childish Gambino. Ha! My taste is nothing if not eclectic).

I'm pretty sure I Have listened to that song at least a couple of times a day for the entire summer. It really does have a way of bringing up so many good memories for me that i'm still not tired of it months and months later!

Simon & Garfunkel, "The Sound of Cylons"

So much John Frusciante.

Still true, 3 months later.

Getting pumped/inspired for the last week of the semester:

There is a store that we pass on vacation every summer, near Amherst, MA, called "The Final Markdown" and I always sing this song!

Hah, that's great!

I just heard and am really digging on Karmin's Brokenhearted. Though I have to admit, the use of so many "cheerio"s is a bit off-putting.

This song has been stuck in my head all morning. I'm a bad person.

*bump*

You guys (Alea, Zero, Elf) know that radio station I have set in my car that I said I never listen to? I ended up listening to it the whole way home and it was pretty good.

Been in one of my moods playing a lot of Phantogram, Cocorosie, Warpaint and Solstafir. Anyone ever see that killer Solstafir Fjara vid? gorgeous n stirring even a bit errie.

Dunno most of those, but if that's the Warpaint I think it is, then yippie!

I dare you to u tube Solstafir Fjara Elf, I bet you like it, not too awfully dark gorgeous mountains in Iceland.

Very melancholy, just the right amount of zombies. I like it.

Of course I just want the DC-3 fuselage for my garden! And the waterfall please

My kids are OBSESSED with What Does the Fox Say.

Aren't you jealous? (you shouldn't be. Although, it is pretty cute to see them dancing around singing it.)

I love it too! The most bizarre part of the video is the creepy old guy holding the baby and reading to him.

I have never heard of this song before... I'm not sure what I think!
