You belong to me


Ok time for a musical update.
So Love Song was my favorite over the summer. I went to see Rocco DeLuca and Sara Bareilles opened. After that I bought her cd and have been a fan ever since.
it's really weird that it is only getting famous now. All my friends are like, "have you heard Love Song". I feel like I tried to tell people but they only listen if it is on the radio or mtv.
I'm not one of those people who is like "oh I listened to that first, or I liked them sooooooo long ago" it just makes me mad when people don't care if you recommend something but don't listen and then 6 months later they love the song for goodness sakes.

um anyway.....

SIA is AMAZING!!!!!!
I love all of the below:
*Girl You Lost to Cocaine
*Academia
*Playground
*Soon We'll Be Found
*Buttons

I love the whole cd but those are my faves. That says a lot about the cd. It is highly unusual to have sooo many favorites.

Belle & Sebastian


is it my imagination or does Belle & Sebastian sound like (nick drake/ jens lekman?)

I always think when they are played on shuffle that it's nick drake. Maybe i'm crazy.

Keen on SIA


Well I guess music wise I have exciting news or this week. Tues. I am going to see SIA. I am very excited. It was a valentines gift. I have been listening to her new stuff a lot lately and it is great stuff let me tell you. I like a lot of the songs but I guess my Favorites would have to be, Day Too Soon, & The Girl You Lost to Cocaine. Those are pretty great.

I guess on another subject, something I like to do in my spare time is look up celebrity playlists on iTunes. Today I was mostly Looking at Michael Cera's. I am fascinated by him because he is on my favorite show and in one of my favorite movies this year.
His music taste is just as fascinating. A good variety of indie stuff but weird stuff like a guy talking in his sleep. Not to mention Sonny & Cher. I am very interested in what other people listen to, more specifically what people's favorite songs are.

so if you read this feel free to comment and tell me some of your fav's.

I've got favorite purses


Two new cd's
Kate Nash - Made of Bricks
Sia - Some People Have Real Problems

So far they are both full of feeling, I have no regrets.
The Sia album was an impulse buy and a very good one. I have loved her for like a year and half or something so I knew it couldn't be horrible.
I have wanted the Kate Nash cd ever since the first time I heard Merry Happy (which was a very long time ago). When I first bought it I was worried with the lack of lyrics in "Play" and the somewhat hilarious lyrics of "Dickhead". I wasn't even sure if she was being serious or trying to funny or maybe both.
Now I don't care because the cd as a whole is great.
I am looking forward to being thoroughly addicted.

songs to listen to:

Kate Nash, Mouthwash
Sia, Playground

What Can I Say?

Do any of you have secret songs?
Or I guess secrets.
I have a lot of secrets, but I have some secret songs too.
You know like a song that always reminds you of something but nobody else knows.
One of my secret songs is What Can I Say by Brandi Carlile.
I have mentioned that song in this blog before.
I don't know, I have discovered that I like having secrets. From EVERYONE. Not like a secret only the closest people to you know, or even some random person knows...I'm talking about secrets only YOU know.
I guess it's kind of like that post secret thing but not as drastic or I guess it could be.
Anyway, I want to listen to this song forever because it is both good and reminds me of my secret.
