MIXTAPE: springtime feel-good songs or not

spring's finally here woop! some tunes for you lovelies to bask in springtime.

sebastien tellier- divine



i love this video. did you guys know that sebastien tellier represented france at the eurovision contest last year? it's a very pleasant surprise because.. umm hello? did you see all the other eurovision participants? if you haven't, do yourself a favour and go on youtube to check out some clips, i guarantee you laughter, and possibly tears! say... can someone possibly die from cheesiness?

hey ocean - a song about california



not exactly my cup of tea but it's cute enough and spring-y! ahhhh do i miss california!

manchester orchestra - wolves at night & sleeper 1972



i have said it a million times and i will say it again, manchester orchestra is amazing. this performance is absolutely profound. you know, one of those that can change someone's life forever?

LOOKIE HERE: i'd be delighted!

from the movie kicking and screaming (1995).



awwwwwwww... how cute was that?

i <3 josh hamilton!

TOO GREEK FOR YOU? - Oedipus

Oedipus and the Sphinx
Gustave Moreau, 1864
Oil on canvas
Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY.

so i sort of re-read sophocles' oedipus rex and oedipus at colonus. now i feel like telling oedipus' story to someone, who would possibly be interested?

LISTEN: manchester orchestra

okay dudes, go listen to this song right here (preferably with your eyes closed, they don't have an official video yet and i can't find a music file for the song so do bare with the video)! do it, do it now! take my word you won't regret it.



wasn't it amazing? i thought that was wonderful too. told you you wouldn't regret it! i always always love it when my ipod shuffles and plays me this song.

here (links to youtube video "golden ticket") is another one of theirs with a sick video. foking brilliant!



another amazing song called i can barely breath. sorry no embed.

manchester orchestra is from atlanta, georgia. i heard one of their songs on cbc radio 1 last year and was blown away. they are coming to vancouver in may and i'm ecstatic! weeeeeeeee!

BITS AND PIECES: mental blogging block

while there was so much i wanted to post about this week, i somehow found myself in this mental blogging block and just couldn't write. so excuse the point form.

+ i already miss los angeles, but can't freaking wait for new york. oh i haven't mentioned my trip have i? yes i will be in new york next week, which is damned exciting. i'm the luckiest girl on the west coast (or am i not?) and i can't help but rub it in a little.

+ if you haven't seen flight of the conchords you should because you're missing out. kiwis' are so in these days! bret (one of the guys in the show) has a creepy hotness to him now that he has facial hair.

+ been having trouble falling asleep lately and i still blame that movie little children, starring kate winslet and patrick wilson, for it. the scene where ronnie jerked off in that sweet girl's car totally creeped me out.

+ it's official. of montreal is on my favourite bands ever list.

+ new want: a spanish guitar, okay i know i said i wanted a daisy rock not long ago, so what? maybe i want both.

+ as i was flipping through the channels last night (i couldn't sleep and was not in the mood to read), i stumbled upon this movie called cellular, which i watched on DVD with my cousin like 4 years ago. and there he was, my ex-rugged-good-looking-in-a-weird-way-infatuation/imaginary-lover jason statham, as the bad guy. i can't believe i didn't notice him back in 2004. this totally can be added to the long list of shitty movies he's done. i mean i love the guy i still do, but come on! you have got to man up and do one decent film.

+ i'm being a total brat but i want someone to say something so insightful and witty, it blows me away.

LOOKIE HERE: what do news anchors do on commercial breaks?

some serious choreography right there. i wonder which one of them started it? it's totally rad!
