HOWSE

(full of songs! yay for me!)
It is widely understood that House is one of the best shows on television.
It is NOT as understood that they are absolute musical geniuses.
How about this, House M.D. Official Soundtrack on Myspace. Who knew? I guess you and me know. Now, at least.

Even the theme song is amazing. Massive Attack's "Teardrop on the Fire"


Let's talk about my favorite two episodes, House's Head & Wilson's Heart.

In Wilson's Heart, they use bands I love.

Example, Iron & Wine.


(people in planes)


And geniously, using José González's cover of "Teardrop on the Fire".




In House's head,

(I freaked out when I saw this, because I know this band!)
!!! (chkchkchk)



Look at that, so many awesome songs, and from only 2 episodes! I'm telling you. FRIGGIN GENIUS. GENIUSES, THEY ARE.

I used to live, live.

I love this band. And Mitchell.
Do you even read this? Does my witty sarcasm make you laugh?
Or do you move straight to the videos and use them as your playlist?
I don't even read what I write. Isn't that sad?
I guess I don't have a long attention span, even for myself.

Well then.

Hey, Kate.

Anyway.

Although I haven't blogged in 10 days, I HAVE pushed myself in the musical community.
How so?



Apparently I'm good. I don't know.

This song is by the beloved Regina. I've always thought to myself "if I ever wanted a good musical warmup that I could sing along to, I'd pick one of her songs."
Full of vocal inflections and lovely… vibratos, I guess they're called, her songs always make me burst out loud and attempt to sing along.

I'm pretty sure I've talked about Ne Me Quitte Pas before. One of my favorites, but hella hard to get a hold on to, basically because Ne Me Quitte Pas is a song that gets covered a lot, and Regina's doesn't sound ANYTHING like the original.

Before we get started, here, there's something that needs to be said if you live in my area.
Taken off Grafton's status, itself…

"Go to Bob Evans Friday night November 19th with a coupon to help us get new drums. If you get a coupon from any of us percussionists, 15% of your sales will go to us getting new equipment, not affecting the cost of anything purchased. Our drums are 15 years old and have literally and figuratively taken a beating. Help us out, go get some good food, and allow us to replace our old drums!"

And you can do this by clicking here: COUPON

Now, moving on.

Indie music is something that I'm always drawn to. Scratch that, indie ANYTHING. I could name things here, but I don't feel like putting in that much effort today.

Back to my transition! This man made this song in GarageBand, using his computer's mic.

Mind you: this is a Star Wars song. But it's delicious!

Jeremy Messersmith: Tatooine



If you're a big internet nerd, or like to check in on Yahoo!'s stories once in awhile, you'll know that this song was used in a popular paper Star Wars video.

OH! And I apologize for those of you who have stupid pop-up blockers, because ALL of my links open in new windows.[ I got denied when I was on a friend's computer and couldn't click on a link I had posted on here.]

Did you leave something behind?

So right now, music is definitely appealing to me that have the right lyrics. Lyrics that are fitting in quite closely with my dilemmas right now.
Oh, before I forget!

Thanks to Grafton for posting me yesterday on his facebooks.
He's got so many things, that I'll just list them here:

Back to the blog.
The biggest musical inspiration to me, Julia Nunes…
Wait, I've done this Julia rant before!
Moving on, from her latest CD I Wrote These, there's a particular song that I am identifying with.
This song, it just so happens, is quite easy and fun to play on the ukulele.

Make it easy, Take your time.

So, there's this band that's shown up a lot lately in my life. Grizzly Bear.
Guarantee that if you watch t.v., you've heard of their biggest hit on iTunes.
My Brit Lit group had to decide on a song to re-do and make it fit the Canterbury Tales… Okay, regardless, one of the members showed us this video:



But even before that, I was shown this video in my comp. class because "its so weird".
But let it be known that I like it:

Tell me I'm not wasting time on you.

Oh, music. You have a way of explaining everything.

On my part:

On his part: Tell Me- Miccoli


I know that I've probably talked about that song a million times before, but this is just how I think the music is fusing with my life right now. It's pretty crazy.
I am kinda bummed, because I can't find a way to put the other song up here...
If you want "his part", you can email the band [mail@miccoli.co.uk] and tell them who you are and where you're from in the subject box. [ex: Lorrin H. Ohio. is basically what I put.]

Here's an idea. I'm so sad though! I don't have enough time to find an alternative way of putting on the song right now, because this is mostly an unknown band and this is their newest single… there weren't even lyrics! I did this myself! Here they are:

I was fooled by the fact thought alone that you lie.
But the fool isn't here, just a man who looks like.
With my head in my hands and my heart on my sleeve.
Tryin' my best, so let me be.

Feels like I'm wastin' my time.
Tell me I'll stand up and take it.
Feels like you've given it your best shot.
Tell me, I'm not wasting time on you.
I'm not wasting time on you.
I'm not wasting time on…
You. oh oh oh you.

Excuses have got no more words to rely on.
I was led to belive, all along, it's what I'd done.
With my heart in my hands, far away from my sleeve,
Tried my best now, so let me be.

Feels like I'm wastin' my time.
Tell me I'll stand up and take it.
Feels like you've given it your best shot.
Tell me, I'm not wasting time on you.
I'm not wasting time on you,
I'm not wasting time on..
You.

And it feels, I'm the last
Place you don't run to.
And it feels, I'm the last
Place you don't run to.
Run to.
Give me your best shot.

Feels like I'm wastin' my time.
Tell me I'll stand up and take it.
Feels like you've given it your best shot.
Tell me, I'm not wasting time on you.
I'm not wasting time on you,
I'm not wasting time on..
You. oh no no, you.

I'll figure how to upload later.

Do not leave me.
