Forever Young

I always used to babysit, and for a whole summer I interned at a 3rd grade tutoring non-profit organization. At this moment, I can't STAND being around kids. It's not that I don't think they're cute and even fun sometimes. But you have to look after them constantly. Ugh. I know I'll like them again in a few months. But for now, I'm enjoying conversing with people over the age of ten. However, songs with children's voices can rok.

There's a Gorillaz movie out called "Bananaz!" Yes!
Gorillaz - Dirty Harry

New songs! They brought in a children's choir to do these
Passion Pit - The Reeling
Passion Pit - Little Secrets

Lullabye rendition of Radiohead. Play it to budding scenesters.
Rockabye Baby - Karma Police

Moshi Moshi

I hate being American and not Japanese because our stars look like this or this and Japan has Perfume and their fucking cuteness overload. We have hershey's bars, they have pocky in hundreds of flavors like kiwi and blueberry cheesecake. And Japanese commercials actually make me laugh. Maybe in another life I'll live in Japan, turn on the television, and have access to five channels at any one time showing trannies throw themsevles at velcro walls. Sighhhh.

The song that inspired the post. Check out the video too!
Perfume - One Room Disco

Speaking of bizarre, the Books are high up there.
The Books - That Right Ain't Shit
The Books - Tokyo

I don't think that Supercar makes music anymore, sadly.
Supercar - Otogi Nation

Japanese New Yorkers! YAY!
Asobi Seksu - Happy

Plur Plur Plur!

Sometimes you just need to grab some kandi and flail to those house beats. I've never actually been to a club... or a rave... but I make do by myself with iPod speakers and a pair of silver leggings. Here's what I pump (all alone) at two in the morning (in my room).

Nothing in the world makes me as happy as this song. Kinda sad...
Giantess - You Were Young

New group I'm liking a lot. They're very physics savvy as well.
Tesla Boy - Electric Lady

Love you, Fred Falke. So monotonous, so satisfying!
Mini Viva - Left My Heart in Tokyo (Fred Falke Dub Remix)

Three insane, japanese girls who like the word "nipples."
Trippple Nippples - RIP Meat

What's In a Name?

BFF with your baby?

It's funny that over the course of high school, everything changes and nothing changes. I've been friends with (pretty much) the same people for four years. Is that depressing? Hopefully not.... Either way, they're amazing and attractive, and their names are in many great songs!

Biffer Sara is currently dating a boy named Za(c)k. I KNOW! ITS CRAZY!
Ben Folds - Zak and Sara

Lovable eco-terrorist. Confession: I don't use reusable grocery bags. Don't kill me.
Caribou - Irene

I don't know a Kim, but I do know a shlemiel, stylin' little bundle named Jessica.
M83 - Kim & Jessie

I love Bear. He's superman, John McCain, and a tipsy lumberjack all in one.
Softlightes - Girl Kills Bear

NOTE: I'm surprised the band "Softlightes" is not more popular. They're fantastik!
Softlightes - The Microwave Song

Shout-out to Abby, Peeper, Willa, Core Four and my other heads. It's not that I don't love you, it's just that no band gives a shit about your name.

My school is putting on a performance of Footloose, and my boyfriend is playing the lead part, Ren, (the lovable bad boy who teaches the town to dance, and love!) Though it's slightly embarrassing, I also think he looks pretty cute up there on the stage when he almost kills himself doing front hand springs. Here's to all the cute couples in the world, especially the ones making killer music!

Matt & Kim are the greatest band/couple I have ever experienced. When I saw them at Lollapalooza '07, and I vowed to kill Kim and marry Matt.
Matt & Kim - Good Ol' Fashioned Nightmare

I recorded and pieced together some of their conversations from the concert
Matt & Kim - Talking @ Lolla '07

My mom and I share a love of Elvis Costello and the Talking Heads, but also the adorable and severly talented pair that form the Weepies. My mom always cries when she hears these, but she also cried at a mastercard commercial.
The Weepies - Nobody Knows Me at All
The Weepies - Riga Girls

Sufjan Stevens did a cover of this song over at La Blogotheque, but I love the original. Apparently they're a couple too.
The Innocence Mission - The Lakes of Canada
