reigning champion - me
anyway, i can't believe i haven't posted about these lovely ladies yet.
with all the rain that's been happening here in the great city of the stars, the weather has been perfect for loving Priscilla Ahn ("Rain," "Wallflower," "Red Cape").
also, Meiko has a similar style, but this is definitely one of the best songs i've heard in a while. it's all about the lyrics.

Joshua Radin
So I am a big fan of the style of music Joshua Radin happens to fall under. Call it whatever you want. Anyway, his song "They Bring Me to You" is a current fav. So sweet :) Hey guys, have some mercy. Sometimes it's time to be sappy.

you lot
are certainly quiet :/ i will assume you are busy with school (as am i, which is kind of why i haven't been posting either hehe...)
book stuff: i was having dinner at dom's place with him and sara, when i stumbled upon his copy of the his dark materials trilogy. i haven't reread it in quite some time, so i picked it up, and kind of walked out the door with it haha... yeah.
other than that, i'm reading il decamerone, by giovanni bocaccia. it is very... canterburry tales-esque, but a lot more lewd. sigh.
music: i was recently introduced to tecktonik, by sara. apparently, it is the dance they invented to dance to techno music, since there previously hasn't been one. it's also huge in europe right now; she said kids would do it in clubs and stuff while she was in italy and spain. check out the dance here. i found the song catchy, so i downloaded the entire mondotek album.
other stuff i've been listening to lately include: belle&sebastian, ladyhawke, phantom planet (especially the song, "too much too fast"), and the nightmare before christmas soundtrack.
hope you all are doing well (:

new things
music: finally got the new the killers album in the mail today (thank you, amazon)!! i have yet to listen to it, but i did like the single, "human". my current favorite song though comes from the band, 3OH!3, and it's called "don't trust me".
books: received tolstoy's anna karenina and amelia atwater-rhodes' persistence of memory for christmas at the secret santa party last night (: thanks, danh!! some of you may recall rhodes as the author of hawksong and those vampire books we read in high school. this is her latest book, and i'm quite excited to read it. also, i went to barnes and noble today and couldn't resist picking up the last cavalier by alexandre dumas. it's like 800 pages long, but i'm going to love reading it.
we four need to hang out sometime together when miss chai gets back from espana. also, who's turn is it to have mochi the bear?

"i'm having a thought here..."
i was thinking. in addition to music, we shared books with each other too.
so why not extend mochi's infinite playlist to include not only music, and music related things (e.g. recommendations), why not also talk about the books we're reading, etc right now?
"what say you?"
(sorry for all the pirates quotes, but i wouldn't be me without them, would i? ;)
much love, hopefully i see you all SOON, at the christmas party<3

speaking of the fray...
if you haven't heard the single for their upcoming cd (to be released feb 2009), i would recommend doing so, immediately. yummyyyy.
i listened to it here, on amazon. scroll down a little bit and press "play" on the video. listen to the intro talking stuff and then the song will play and i think it's pretty good anyway. the single is called, "you found me." (: yeah. i found you ;)

taste change
so my main playlist right now centers around: MGMT - "kids", the virgins - "hey, hey girl", lady gaga - "summerboy", daedelus - "my beau" and "make it so", devotchka - "how it ends", MSTRKRFT - "chromeo - tenderoni", phantom planet - "do the panic," etc.
there are others, of course, but these are the ones i can remember off the top of my head (:
albums i'm enjoying: jimmy eat world - chase this light (especially the song, "dizzy"), all anberlin albums, and i'm trying to listen to all of the new bloc party album, intimacy, but so far i've only really listened to a couple of tracks ("mercury", "ion square"). but yeah. check that stuff out, ladies. gone are the days when my main music influence was basically jimmy, and my daily playlist contained mostly thursday, thrice, coheed, a7x, etc. blah blah time passes, things change, tastes differ, etc. sorry, pooks :/ right now i'm very much into chill mellow music, and things with a beat you can dance to.
enough procrastinating studying, i have work to do.
