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.

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.

I choose you, cherry. *

It's late-ish, but I forgot to talk about this:


"Pick Up the Phone"

The single was [free!] downloadable on iTunes last week, I think.
Can anyone tell me who this reminds you of?

I can only get: Vampire Weekend.
"You're so coOoOl."

But there's more. And I can't put my finger on it. It's been slightly bugging me.

Anddd, I'm in Atlanta. So anytime you see a "ATL", I'm referring to Atlanta.
