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.

Such Great Heights

That's it. Mental note to future me. No more buying/getting into remixes and cover songs before knowing the original.

I've talked about Iron & Wine's cover of Postal Service's song "Such Great Heights" before.

Well, while I'm waiting for my iPhone to receive the osi 4 or whatever [it's been at least 2 hours] I'm stuck on GrooveShark trying to think of songs.

I listened to Postal Service's original "Such Great Heights". I felt almost trippy. It went sooo fast compared to Iron & Wine's.
The same thing happened to me when I was listening to the remix of Lisztomania versus the original.

I found 2 bands while I was at the Hot Topic listening station, but I wrote them down in my phone, which I can't get to. Ridic.
So, for now, I'll just count down the hours until I get to go see Toy Story 3.


It's 3 hours, if you were wondering. :D

I think I love you.

Right now, for some reason, slow and romantic-like songs are giving me hope right now. They aren't romantic always, just slow and... songs that carry you and calm you.

Here's [the first] playlist of what I'm talking about.

Iron & Wine- Such Great Heights
Bright Eyes- First Day of My Life
Dashboard Confessional- Stolen
Chase Coy- Basically anything he sings.
Ingrid Michaelson- The Way I Am
Paolo Nutini- Last Request

Plus, some of these boys aren't too bad to look at, too.


Paolo Nutini


Conor Oberst


Chris Carraba [I always thought he was in a wetsuit]


Chase Coy. oh god I love him.

BONNAROO 2010

NOTE: this is a Bonnaroo blog post. If you don't want to hear Bonnaroo ten million times and what it is and it's awesomeness,

go somewhere else.


Yep, that's right. Bonnaroo. For the past week, but more for the past few days, I've been spazzing about Bonnaroo. I've been looking up and reading EVERYTHING on the Bonnaroo website, and even though I'm not going this year, I'm going to try to plan next year.

This year, Bonnaroo has 15 bands that I want to listen to. AND, it's not only a music festival. It's a music&arts festival. It's my kind of place.

You might be thinking, 15 bands? Please.
Guess again. Straight off the Bonnaroo lineup:
DMB, Kings of Leon, Weezer, Phoenix...
Oh, screw this. Check it out for yourself..

Bonnaroo Artists

Iron & Wine were there last year along with Julia Nunes. She's back again this year, along with...

SHE & HIM.
Yeah.

So basically, if you can't go, like me, and you want to see it, you can stream it live on your computer thanks to YouTube. Technically, it's sponsored by the 2011 Ford Fiesta.

This sucks for me because I'M IN SCHOOL. My last day is tomorrow, and Julia's performance [which is the first one] is going on around 12:30 and I'm taking a Spanish final at that time! I could if it was around 8 am or even 2 pm, but nope. It's during one of the only two periods that I CAN'T stream it.

And, I can't even access it on my school's computer because it's on YouTube. And my stupid school has that blocked. Arg!! I'll find a way!

HAVE I LOST YOU? AMERICAN MOUTH? **

I see people in their cars. Don't they enjoy what they listen to? It doesn't look like it. I feel like most of the time, I'm the only one singing along to whatever I have when I go places. Why not enjoy yourself? I know that I'm going to be ninety and still singing out loud to the music. That's what music is, really. It's a elongation of what you're thinking.


One song that gives me goosebumps only when I listen to it, and not sing it, is "Such Great Heights" sung by Iron & Wine. Heard of them? I hope that when you think of this band you don't think of one of the worst interpretations of a book series, a.k.a. Twilight movie saga. I hate everything in that stupid movie. Though the soundtrack is pretty okay with me, since New Moon uses Ok Go, I'm pretty sure.
Still don't get it? "Flightless Bird, American Mouth". I liked the song and was extremely surprised when I heard "Such Great Heights" and found out why the band Iron & Wine sounded so familiar.
This song is just so precious. I love the singer, he's got such a... voice that draws you in, I guess you could say.

Even though this is Postal Service's original song, I love Iron & Wine's version.

Oh wow, I'm so absent-minded. I'm not 16 anymore, I've been 17 for over a month! I guess time just flies by.

A friend of mine brought his iPod with him and showed me his newest songs.
All Katy Perry. All live.

And I gotta say... She's good. I don't like her too much because she's constantly being compared to Zooey Deschanel and I like Zooey wayyyy better. In music, looks... everything.



And She & Him are coming to Columbus in July I think. GLEE!!
