So some of you may have noticed that I have all but thrown out the format of my blog over the past few weeks. Well I had stuff I wanted to post and my themes were holding me back. After I found myself posting a lot more without them I decided to just move on and so I welcome you to the new version. Pretty much the same but without the little icons in the corner all the time.
Since I'm actually posting media on a Monday, I chose to use the appropriate icon today because, why the heck not?
So for the past couple weeks I have been obsessed with this song,
because they did it on Glee
P.S. omg Matt Bomer :D
I have mixed feelings about the Glee version because a) I hate Glee, and 2) the two guys are supposed to be brothers which doesn't make sense for a song that is actually about ex-lovers. Butttttt Matt Bomer is amazing so I think I love it anyway.
THIS will be my new song obsession for at least the rest of the week,
(how cute is she!?!?) which was in this scene of Cougar Town,
(I had to improvise to get it myself because it is not on YouTube, so my apologies for the less-than-awesome audio) And now all I want is a mobile wedding on the beach like theirs. Every guest could have a front row seat!
Today (actually several weeks back, but then stuff that was time-sensitive kept pushing it back) I decided to feature some awesome frickin' music. According to me. And if you don't agree, I don't care, this is mostly for me. I just like them and am posting them with no agenda no matter what anyone thinks *cough* crazy stalker *cough*.
First up: I was supposed to be going to see Sister Hazel in concert but then, luck have it, the one I was going to was canceled. But I'm going to post one of their songs anyway. Now if you're saying "never heard of 'em," I call bullshit, (a few of you may actually not have and to you, I apologize), because you have ALL heard this song. And once you play it you're going to say, "you're right, Lauren, I do love this song and I thought it was Blues Traveler." Everybody does.
I absolutely love Sara Bareilles' newest album. I hadn't listened to it in a while until I was going through my CDs for music for my brother's wedding video. But it's still awesome. I wanted to post a different song but I don't want to use some random person's homemade music video so I had to pick from those that are singles. I really like this one too :)
Next: Kate Nash. <3 her! A different song of hers was featured on Community and I immediately downloaded (legally of course...) all her music and fell in love with her. I discovered this video when Stacey posted it on Facebook. I believe it's fan-made, but it's just adorable so I had to share it!
Also featured on Community, The Fratellis. Also awesome except this is the real music video. It's on my mind because it's on the mix CD I have in my car right now. Great musicians but frankly I liked hearing it more when Joel McHale was on screen. Yes I'm saying Joel McHale is pretty and Jon Fratelli, (I swear that's his name, I just looked it up), is not. Oh well. [Side note, Fratelli means "brothers" in Italian]
Also on my mix CD, (way too many "also-s" in one post), is P!nk! SUCH a good song. I'm so glad she kept making music and people keep listening to it. Unlike Britney. That shit needs to stop. Funnily (okay is "funnily" really a word? Cause Firefox thinks it is...) enough, this song too was featured on one of my shows! This one was in Pretty Little Liars. If you're a girl you should watch it cause it's sooooo good. If you're a girl.
All I have to say about this is: Why is Paramore so good? :P
Lastly, you guy's may have noticed that I am a bit crazy about Greg Behrednt. I can't help it, he's hilarious and amazing. Anyway, he has a band so what-the-hell I'm gonna feature them here: The Reigning Monarchs.
That's it for today. Not too painful right? In other music news, I want to update my collection so if there's an album/artist from the past year or so which you can't stop listening to, leave me a comment so I can check it out!
