Dave Matthews, Moses Mayfield, Finals, and Mr.Brightside



Hello!

So, this week has been very stressful, but it got much better. My dad won tickets on the radio to Dave Matthews in April and guess who gets to go? Your's truly. Unfortunately, all of the people I know are so uncultured they'd never even heard of him. Seriously, something is wrong with them. I found that out once Synfan didn't know who Santana was and then it followed with her "forgetting" who Bob Marley is. Yeah, right. "Forgetting". Sure.

I just found these awesome outtakes from that gorgeous Twilight Vanity Fair shoot. Enjoy! And thanks to robertpattinson.org:

Anyway, I had my first final yesterday and then I got out early. I was supposed to see Bride Wars with Nikki, SunnyD, Sarah, and....someone, but it didn't really work out. But I have a three and a half day weekend, all half days next week, and Friday off, so it's all good.

I was listening to Pandora the other day and I heard this song called "Element" by Moses Mayfield. It's amazing and it turns out the rest of the band's songs rock too! Here's "Element", for those who are interested.


Speaking of awesome music, I just came across Boyce Avenue's latest cover a few minutes ago and just had to share it with you. It's "Mr.Brightside" by The Killers, which i know is one of SunnyD's favorites. The band did an awesome cover and made the song way better than it is(as always!), so enjoy!


Did anyone else here any awesome music lately?

Test, test...

So-Catholic (aka james) is creating an acount ^_^

Alanna said...

Wonderful. I feel like such a trendsetter. Everyone wanted a blog after I had one! Lol, awesome. I feel special now.

Alanna said...

Oh yeah, you're a Relient K fan, right? So is SunnyD(aka Danielle)

So Catholic said...

Ya I am known to enjoy Relient k

Some of their newer stuff isn't quite as good though, my opinion would be that they peaked on musical skill around MMHMM with everything before that either being absolutely dreadful or just catchy enough to be good and every album after that having to many different styles packed into one album. This is not to say that I don't like their newer music, just that I don't like every or almost every song on any given album.

The conclusion is that if you want to hear Relient K at their finest listen to MMHMM.

God, now James is here?

That's a great song-- I'm glad you put it up. I've been listening to different genres all week and I think two of my new faves are "I get around" by Dragonette (kinda sexually suggestive, but I like the beat) and "Like a Star" by Corinne Bailey Rae.

Danielle said...

No, Alanna, I tried to call Synfan for the movies that day but no one picked up : (

Alanna said...

Whatever. There was still no point cuz Kermit the Hermit(yes, Synfan, that's your new nickname) isn't going to be leaving her house probably until she's at least 40 and forced to move out of her parent's house and get a job.

So Catholic said...

Alanna? It's cold outside...

And white...

And fluffy...

SNOW!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!1

So-Catholic has not seen decent snow in to long

Alanna said...

OMG I KNOW!!!! I was so freaking excited last night when they called school off.

So Catholic said...

Darn you, I only found out in the morning while I was already in the shower.

I should auctualy blog about this rare occurence, its like 6 whole inches on my deck, so probably more like 4 on solid ground where it melts a tad easier.

So-Catholic missed a wonderful opertunity to sleep in

Alanna said...

Are you serious? Man, that sucks. I slept in till 9:00, then i couldn't wait any longer.
Btw, no school tomorrow either, just a heads up in case you didn't know.

So you're starting a blog?

I really want to blog about it too, but I'm kinda lazy :P

OH MY GOD!!! I WASN'T HOME THAT NIGHT!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, ALANNA????

and is James skytzophrenic (or however u spell it)

and maybe i should repeat myself:

WHEN YOUR GRANDFATHER WHO U WERE VERY CLOSE TO DIES, YOU WANT TO BE ALONE FOR A LITTLE BIT!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN ANOTHER TRAGEDY HAPPENED BEFORE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH!! AND IF U WERE REAL FRIENDS, YOU WOULD GIVE ME SOME TIME INSTEAD OF INSULTING ME ABOUT BEING A HERMIT!!!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU FREAKING EXPECT ME TO DO??????? PRANCE AROUND LIKE AN ELF WHO HAS NO CARES IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!?????? YOU PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND REALITY!! AND YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THIS IS LIKE!!!

if i want to talk to you, i'll call you, okay? sorry if i blew up earlier. its just...you have no idea what this is like. 2 things like that really can hurt, u know. just email me whenever u want, okay?

i just don't want to hang out, alright?

Alanna said...

Ok. So-rry.
I just don't think staying at home and without it friends isn't going to help anything.

Think I don't know what that's like?i've been to more funerals than anyone I know, k?

Anonymous said...

i just want to be with my family right now, okay? they need me...especially my mom. it was her father that died.

get this: i can't even go to his funeral because it's a tousand miles away!!!!! i mean, i would feel so much better if i could just go to Pakistan and mourn with them, but i can't. because of school...and other things

i just feel so numb. i only cried once since his death. i can't feel anything now. the only way i can cope is if i go to Pakistan, but i can't...*SIGH*

Danielle said...

When will you see us, Synfan? We have a three day weekend coming up, can you maybe spare us one day? I haven't seen you in so long. . . .

Anonymous said...

Alanna said...
