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

Take this sinking boat and point it home. *

Wow, have I kept up with this every day? I need a life. I mean, it's not like I've not been doing things, because I was busy all day. But right now my brother is making me stay up with him because he's playing Super Mario Galaxy. It's 11:46, and I know to you hardcore-ers, that's not bad at all, but I don't care what anyone thinks, I go to bed the same time during the week as the weekend. It ranges from 10:30 to 11. Usually, rarely 11. I'm playing a song I ranted earlier about so maybe he gets tired and lets me sleep.

Ten music points if you can identify the song in the title of this blog without using Google.

Now, because of Bonnaroo, [I know ENOUGH'S ENOUGH, ALREADY, but it's relevant] Because of Bonnaroo, I downloaded a Phoenix remix of "Lisztomania" and thought it was awesome. I didn't even think to look at the original. Then, I was surfing through ukulele tabs @Ukehunt and saw the tab for the original Lisztomania. So I bought it on iTunes.

That's when I realized I have a music addiction. This blog proves it. I mean, whose to say anyone's reading? But really, I don't care if only one person reads this. Because that's all it takes. I want to share my music tastes and be original and talk about something that I do for a large portion of the day. So I am.

I'm going to end up buying the whole album on iTunes. :/ I like to have the physical cd, I think it's better.

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!
