The Girl

Hey, kids! It's been awhile. Mainly because I got so sick of my old music and then I was focused on new music and that took effort and then I found too much music that I couldn't take it all and still need to learn my new Mae CD and get my This Will Destroy You CD. I don't remember if I've talked about these already, but I'm too tired and I want to finish this post quickly so I can go to bed.

Along with those two new CD's… I cracked and went to Best Buy and bought [after 2 days of searching through incorrectly labeled bands (I mean, OWL CITY and SKY SAILING are NOT the same thing!!!!)] OK Go's Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.

But that's not what this post is about. This post is about a song that is hella fun to cover [on ANYTHING, not just the uke, mind you, even a cappella] and has grown on me.

I remember listening to it and thinking "Cute… but it's not AMAZING."

Now, it's the other way around. But not really. "AMAZING. CUTE!!!"

Here.

We will be victorious. So come on!!

Woo! So, a song that's been stuck in my head recently is Muse's [thank god, not OK Go] Uprising.
Heard this bitty on the radio. I really like it. Really really.

Another song that I like [more of the swinging-like motion of the chorus] is DMB in a live concert in 2009, I think, singing a cover of The Zombies's Time of the Season.

I've listened to more radio this month than I did in 6 months back home.

Hey, Mr. DJ, can you turn the music DOWN?

I know I said no more OK Go, but I just can't help myself. These lyrics are so amazingly lovely.

While You Were Asleep- OK Go:

In the shallowest part of the night while you quietly slept,
I lay here and I counted the hours to the sound of your breath.

Can't you love me?
Can't you love me how I want, please?

I went walking down on Second Street through the leaves and the clutter.
In the pale yellow sodium light, nothing has any color.

Can't you love me?
Can't you love me how I want, please?

On another note, a song [and a free one awhile back] that I never thought I would like was on the radio here it Georgia. Again. And again. Several times, actually. And I always feel the need to call out "I know this song!" because it's not well-known. At least I thought it wasn't.


High Road by Broken Bells.

It was on the "soft rock" station.

On another, nother note, this website has a new address thingy. bit.ly/lorrin. Why "lorrin"? Because that's my name, silly random questioner.

And moving to another, final subject, today at the Botanical Garden in Atlanta, the DJ there horrified me. The first time I heard his disc jockey-ing, it was a calming mix of Indian-like music with a techno beat. The second time we could hear him, he'd crudely mashed up Journey's hit Don't Stop Believin' with Lady Gaga's [that's right Lady Gaga] hit… Just Dance.
What?! Not even close in beats, but that's besides the point.
First, you would hear a story about a girl and boy taking a midnight train. Then, Lady Gaga would rudely interrupt with how she got so trashed, she didn't remember flipping her shirt inside-out.

Atlanta, you can do better.

OK Go GOTTA HAVE IT.

Look what I made :)

Here it goes, again. *

Help me please.

I'll listen to almost anything [key words: listen] but there are two exceptions.
Rap and country.

And, unfortunately in Atlanta, since it's the south, they're pretty big on the latter.
I'll put up with it for my family, but my brain freaks myself out by trying to sing along in my head. I've never heard the songs before, but it'll try to sing along to the chorus or something.

So, I'll sing in my head something else.
Since my recent fix [obviously] is OK Go, I'll sing one of their songs.
Problem is, I only know about 3 entirely.
This is why I either need to get back home and buy Oh No & Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.
Or I need to somehow find an iTunes giftcard here, because my dad sent me here with a total of $40 for the month.

We all know Oh No's album for the famous "Here it Goes Again".
And the more I watch the music videos on YouTube, the more I want the cd's.

Current song obsession with OK Go? Here, watch it for yourself.



I need to get off this subject. DAMIAN KULASH. I know.

OKay!! GO!!! *

Ah, it's been a few days.

Anyway, back to my latest obsession:
Damian Kulash

Who?
Maybe you know him from his band's treadmill video.
Maybe you know him from playing with the Notre Dame band.
Maybe you know him from his Rube Goldberg machine.
Maybe you know him from his yellow outfit.

Maybe, you love this cutie to pieces.



That's right. He's from Ok Go.

If you didn't at least get the treadmill one, you need to get out more.
[And by get out, I mean watch more viral videos.]

But I was thinking about it, because I was with a friend yesterday. I was playing my current favorite "End Love".
"Who is this?" -Vicky asked.
"Ok Go."
"REALLY?!?!"
"… yeah. I know. They're actually good."

And what I mean by that is, the super-smash hit "Here It Goes Again" was huge at my school when it came out. And, since this band is NOT a one-hit wonder band, people… people don't seem to expect that they have talent. They expect to hear some form of "Here It Goes Again".

I'm not sure why.

I've talked about Ok Go again, but I want to get their latest album "Of the Blue Colour Of the Sky".
I need to become famous and open a P.O. box so people can send me this stuff.

End Love

Heyhihelllo.
I personally love Ok Go's music videos, whether they're the official or ones they've done for fun. Their YouTube channel is something that always keeps me entertained.

And their new video for the song "End Love" is awesome, yet again. But instead of linking it, or buying it for 2 bucks off of iTunes, Ok Go is having a contest. You can download their video for free. Annnddd, if you do that, and upload it to your Facebook page, you get a chance to win an iPad. But, I don't want the iPad, I just want to put the video up.

If you want the video for yourself, or the chance to win the iPad, click right on over here.
