5. sebastien grainger - renegade silence (sorry i couldn't find any version other than live..)
6. chester french - she loves everybody
7. of montreal - id engager
8. troublemaker - all night (so youtube failed me here...)
9. the airborne toxic event - this is nowhere
10. late of the pier - heartbeat
11. k'naan - abc's
12. white lies - death
13. christian - 1,2,3 turn around(youtube failed me again -__-)
14. the pharcyde - runnin' (philippians rmx)
15. koushik - lying in the sun

and of course, the playlist must be started with survivor - eye of the tiger, if you REALLY want to feel puuuuumped.
good luck on your finals, lovelies.
SUMMER!

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!!

between us and them

so i first heard this song in a MAC store (the make up, not apple) in new york. it was playing at what i like to call, "the opportune moment." it fit the mood, made the ambiance, and perfectly described my mental state at the moment.

obviously i had to ask the employees what it was called and who it was by.
moving units - between us and them.
enjoy.

Oh Perez

Anyone check out Heidi Montag's songs? Hahaha... sooo bad yet sooo good. 

(Yes I know I currently listen to really bad music).

So good

The Fray - You Found Me. This song never ceases to amaze me. Love.

oh literature

Yesterday in my history section, my TA referenced Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron." I don't know if you guys remember (or ever read) that story, but it's quite good. Also, the in-class reference made me happy :) People still read!
