Belly-aching

Awww! Look at the cute little stomachache microbe that's making my life so miserable! I pulled a literal all-nighter since I was feeling so sick. However, all those hours did give me the chance to explore lesser known Hulu tv shows, such as Community and the Rotten Tomatoes review show. I still feel like I'm going to implode from the inside, so here's a list of my favorite chill out songs to get my mind off of, you know, vomiting.

Sigur Ros - All Alright
Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla
Sigur Ros - Untitled #4

Air France - No Way Down

Obviously I didn't keep my promise. It's been six months wooooo. In that period of time, I (suicidally) decided to re-apply to the colleges I never got to, as I applied to Swarthmore early decision. A giant pile of college essay bullshit later, I am transferring to Brown University next year and I'm really excited. Providence is beautiful.

Check out Brown's radio station BSR that I will be joining!
Alright, let's bring it all back home.

Wooo for Christmas cheer. Less "woo" for the torrent of tourists who have seemingly come to New York just to walk very, very slowly. What I really want for Christmas: a pop up blocker that actually blocks pop-ups. One sneaky little bastard of a window just tried to sell me a Clinton commemorative coin. WHAT?? Oh also, thank you Santa for the health care bill passing in the Senate even if its not perf.

I don't know if the Pipettes are that talented, but they're super cute.
The Pipettes - White Christmas

Makes me cry, makes me FEEEEL. so pretentious.
Sufjan Stevens - Star of Wonder

Such a good song to put on repeat... and name your blog posts after
Rufus Wainwright - Spotlight on Christmas

Such weirdos. Do NOT watch "Christmas on Mars" ever.
The Flaming Lips - A Change at Christmas

For Serious

No one cares if I update (no one reads it) annnnd honestly, I don't care very much either (school, friends, real hobby-type commitments.) So here are my faves of the week. That's a good goal: an update every week!

Any song past ten minutes (this one is 10:40) earns the word "epic" regardless of how good it is. But this one is good, swearzies.
Do Make Say Think - Do

I love thaooooo!!! So good and so perfect for any occasion
Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Down - Cool Yourself

An oldie but a goodie.
Talking Heads - This Must Be the Place [Naive Melody]

PSA: always check the laundry for lone socks afterward.

That's my home! Still at swat, still dying from work. There has been one development pertinent to this blog: I got a radio show! Go to wsrnfm.org to access podcasts for "Mouichido," my "electronic" show that really just plays whatever the fuck I want that happens to have synthesizers in it. Here are some highlights from the last week:

This song goes out pizza hut, taco bell, and those who appreciate them.
Das Racist - Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (Wallpaper Remix)

I haven't seen the sunrise since I was six cause I'm that committed to REM patterns.

Fever Ray - Seven (Twelves Remix)

The horror! The horror!

Just finished reading Heart of Darkness by Conrad for the first time and its awesome shit. That is a smart man right there. Super stressed out at college; I've already missed two classes and I have a sinking suspicion that balancing five clubs may be statistically impossible. My main antidote for the weary day is just, well, aforementioned awesome shit.

I wish bullshit "hip hop" radio stations played good hip hop.
KiD CuDi - Soundtrack 2 My Life

Do butterflies have bones?
Butterfly Bones - xoxo

This band is like the Format. I love them a lot but I'm a lil embarrassed

Yikes, it's been a while! I've been busy seeing all my friends for the last time before I go to college (sheeeeettttt) and working medium ways between part and full time. Let's do crazy remixesss... mostly of Passion Pit... to get this blog up and running again.

My favorite song! But now it's different!
Passion Pit - Little Secrets (Charles and Beck Remix)

My other favorite song! But also different!

Prom-ah

Prom weekend has come and gone. There were no cat fights (see above) over similar dresses, nor was there any serious prom-ah. After-prom getaway was awesome, due to gigantic speakers, a seven foot beach ball, and a lotta ruit. No one liked my CDs, since they were all indie and didn't include any Lil' Wayne songs. WhatEVER! Here are a few of those songs.

My friend DD used to call herself Phoenix. LOL 7th gradezzz
Phoenix - Everything is Everything

I blast this song in my car till the part where he talks about sex...
Guillemots - Get Over It

You thought "take on me" couldn't get better? It did.
a-ha - Take on Me (Twelves Remix)


Hehehe... the BLOW. Blatantly bj.
The Blow - Pile of Gold


Happy! Lovable! Electronic!
