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.

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.
