don't know if it's your cup of tea

but these are the songs I've been listening to on repeat as of late:

• Cat Power - The Greatest
  
• Jackson Waters - Center of Attention
• Gary Go - Walking on a Dream
  (cover of Empire of the Sun's song, but the original is...very 80s)
• Meese - Next in Line
  
• (and of course) Eyeshine - Let It Out
  

iTunes?

hello peoples,

don't know if you check iTunes for its single of the week, but you (and by you, i mean esp Puja) might like this week's by La Roux (hope the link works).

and now for a rather significant digression...

1 | i finally gave in. and got an iPod.

2 | idk if you guys are into A Fine Frenzy or not, but she just released a new album. i am still slightly unimpressed w/ this new one, esp given how good the first one is, but "Blow Away" definitely grew on me after i watched the super cute video. i'm a sucker, what can i say.

3 | i have Mochi the Bear! whose turn is it to have him now?

it's been awhile

since any of us last posted :/
so i'm posting now! yay!! (:
i saw jack's mannequin (with matt nathanson and low vs. diamond) and bloc party play live!
both shows were amazing<3
so i'm going to talk about the opening acts for jack's mannequin, since both of them were really good. the first band to go up was low vs. diamonds. i'd never heard of them before, and we got there pretty late, so we were only able to hear the last two songs of their set. i loved those songs. so check out killer b and don't forget sister.

then there was matt nathanson. oh, he was epic! first of all he is a talented musician. his songs and voice are beautiful<3 car crash, answering machine (sorry, guys, i could only find live versions), and for fun, watch him cover journey!

enjoy!!

going for a record

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.

aar

this is twice in two days that i have been pleasantly surprised by tracks from the new all american rejects cd i recently got in the mail (thank you, amazon). (:

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 ;)
