5 CDs That Should Be In Your Stocking This Season

Christmas is coming up, and what's a better gift than the one of music? Here's some recommendations!

 



1. Mika - The Boy Who Knew Too Much

Ah, finally! It feels like it's been forever since Mika's debut album came out. More happy, upbeat, danceable songs sung at a ridiculously high pitch. Not gonna lie, I'm jealous he can see higher than I can.

 


2. Dragonette - Fixin To Thrill

Here's a band that I've been following for quite time. I have this thing for indie Canadian music, it's the patriot within me. Another sophomore album, although I was slightly disappointed... not that it's a bad album, I'm sure if this is the first time that you hear Dragonette, you'll fall in love with this album. It's just not quite as epic as their debut LP, Galore.

 


3. Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster

I'm sure every one has "Bad Romance" stuck in their head at the moment. I while back I excepted Gaga into my life as my God. She hasn't failed to live up to the title yet. Not only has she presented me with this kickass CD, but the fates have given me tickets to her upcoming tour! In the name of the Lady, the Gaga, and the Fame Monster. Amen.

 


4. Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment

I am seriously flailing over this album. Probably my favourite albums of this year. I've always supported Adam, it's a shame I'm only mentioning him now. This album is amazing, with such a variety of songs. One moment you'll be grinding to an S&M lovefest and next you'll be crying like you're on your period to a love ballad. Yes, Adam, you are definitely here for my entertainment.

 


5. The Glee Soundtrack

If I have to explain why this is so, we are no longer friends. It's GLEE. Therefore, it is awesome. Why wouldn't you want it?

Merry Christmas Everyone! More gift ideas to follow!

guilty pleasures ~ music department!

i was tagged by mimi to reveal what i listen to,but  "accidently" rename on my i-pod so my indie cred isn't completely destroyed XD i do believe i will later regret doing this, oh well... shall we continue on with more mindless ramblings? yes, yes we shall!

512a1.jpg cookie mika image by manuelita_mcr

my first full actual artist is going to be MIKA! and just like ana said  he always makes me smile and his songs always make you feel really good :) but their is one exception and that would be the song "happy ending". the first time i heard that song i9 was on the bus home and i was listening my recently added because i had just put the CD on my i-pod *and fuck yeah i own life in cartoon motion!* and i wept. i truly wept. it is insanely beautiful and then you get to the hidden track, WOW. my eyeliner was basiclly at my chin by that time :)

and who can resist "grace kelly"?!?!?! i'll tell you who, no one. no one at all XD

l_03f356e64abcb18f6d9a1135f6a0ea09.png Breathe Carolina image by charlenesBELTRANaway

these paint cover fiends are the wonderfully catchy and scenelious duo known as breathe carolina! as much as it pains me to admit that i love somehting that screams part of the time, these guys are amazing. i mean, you try and deny the magical amazingness of this little number XD once again, you can't :)

nick lachey = heart breaker. try and not shed a tiny tear to this.

this is girl power yo. yep, i said yo.

BROADWAY TIME!!!

Image:In the Heights.jpg

sure, it may have won alot of tonys this year, including best musical, but if i admit i like a latin hip-hop musical i get made fun of for 1) it's hip-hop and 2) they contiue to laugh because i love musicals. FUCK YEAH. i LOVE musicals.period.end sentence. and it has presented us with the greatest speech ever, not only because it's fucking dunkin sheik presenting, but it's the TONYS!!! oh, and i mean this acceptance speech :)

Hawthorne_Heights.jpg hawthorne heights image by julybaby9210

BAND # 3~ 2 years ago in eight grade when i was a sad little emo kid * i know, suck* hawthorne heights owned me. and to some extent they still do. part of me died when casey died, like seriously, i cried. and as corny as it sounds, this song is still as beautiful to me now as it was 2 years ago. yep, i said it XD and good fucking lord this wonder of a composition is sooo the shit :)  and oh yeah, tommorrow i will deny that i said any of this XD

~i'm really bad at these lists so i'm sorry this is so inconsistant and mind numbingly boring :) ~

before i fall asleep at the keyboard, the last full on artist for tonight!!!

paolo nutini has the cutest smile! ahem..sorry..i digress. the only reason i put on here is because everyone i know hates him with this weird firey passion and i love him! but of course on the down low from them, because there is only so much teasing one person can take XD and the awesome thing is he's so versitile, there's happy paolo and then there's sad paolo. he and mika are the ONLY artists that i will admit to loving outside of this list, everything else i'll deny to the death :)

 here's a loaded god complex for our finale, good night and good luck :)

How come I end up where I started?

Wow so I haven't posted anything in 10 months. Well, a lot as happened in 10 months my friends.

I've seen:

- Kate Nash

- Mika

- Spice Girls (lol that was an interesting show)

- Paolo Nutini

- Kimya Dawson

- Vampire Weekend

- The Cribs

- Flight of the Conchords

-Conan!!!

-Billy Bragg

I've met:

- Bill Hader

- Kate Nash (super sweet!)

- Perez Hilton (he was at the Mika concert)

- Dita Von Tease (whatever her name is-at the Mika concert)

-Kimya Dawson (I hope her daughter liked the dog I gave her)

- Diablo Cody (aka the writer of Juno)

- Flight of the Conchords- OMG BEST NIGHT THIS YEAR!!!!

 

I went to New York in March (for my bday) and met my mom's side of the family. That trip gave me a new view of where I could go to school at. Although, I'm still not sure where I want to go to college. I still some time to think. Next year's going to be a killer. AP English, AP American History, and AP Psychology :/

Last week I saw Vampire Weekend. OMG EZRA'S SO BEAUTIFUL! Bill Hader was here and was super nice. For some reason I could only think of SNL and told him that I loved him in "Lazer Cats". On Thursday Marianna and I went to Amoeba to see Flight of the Conchords. We were there for 8 hours waiting. Well, three hours before the show, and about 4 1/2 waiting to meet them. It was totally worth it. Bret is gorgeous and Jemaine is super talkative. Bret said I smelled nice and that he loves my name, while Jemaine told me that he loved me. Maybe that's bc Marianna and I brought them bears idk. Best part of the night was hugging Bret and Jemaine. Bret throws himself at you sort of while Jemaine gives really, really good hugs.

Hope everyone's day has been good. I have to do some Honors homework :/ bye!
