Bon Iver & St. Vincent - “Roslyn"

mos def the best song out of the twilight - new moon soundtrack. maybe even best collab of the year? seriously, i think it's too great of a song to be part of a movie soundtrack, let alone associated with twilight crap.

one thing is for sure though... this song is exceptionally beautiful, i love it!

SON OF A!

soooo, i decided to purchase tickets for the st. vincent show on thursday!!! but, for some reason sonar's calendar showed something different for Oct. 29.

ok, no problem... i'll just type in "st. vincent sonar" on google and see if i can get tix somewhere else. i click the second search link, and guess what's the first thing that catches my attention... CANCELED! what the #!$!($!!!!!!

i missed dirty projectors on tuesday, st. vincent's date got canceled, and monday is around the corner filled with a butt load of school work! woohoo!

gotta love baseball

i'm not gonna lie, i've been saying it since july, the mets have been a disappointment once again. i know they've been out of the race since the summer, but i love baseball! ...which is why i've been watching the ALCS and NLCS.

as much as i want a dodgers-yankees world series matchup, it looks like the phillies aren't going to be dethroned of their NL champs crown... the dodgers just can't seem to get it done. as for the yankees, it's expected of them to make it to the fall classic... so, it's just a matter of time.

but seriously! i hate the phillies!!! hate hate hate hate hate them. yes, it's because i'm a mets fan and i've grown to despise phillies fans lol kidding. but also because the phillies are a really good team, it makes me hate them even more!

one thing is for sure though... the girardi era is here and the yankees are back to dominate the baseball world. new york, get ready for 27!

i'm a sucker for british female singers haha

ahh, such a great cover of ellie goulding's guns and horses by a girl named kate mcgill. seriously, british female singers have amazing voices!!!

ellie goulding's voice is memorable

ellie goulding - guns and horses

watch out for ellie goulding! this british chick has such a lovely voice it just gets stuck in your head!

the only thing that i find a downer about her is that her music is electro pop. i really think it doesn't complement her voice at all, but i guess it's what sells these days in the UK?

instead of being compared to la roux or little boots, i think she would be a much better artist making music in the lines of fiest, regina spektor, or sia.

GO FORTH

for the past few days, i've noticed a new tv ad by levi's, which i believe is there latest ad campaign. the ad caught my interest because i felt something special about it. it was more than just advertising... it was art, it was poetry.

however, i honestly did not understand the concept of the campaign until i did some research online. it looks like levi's is trying to inspire people with this new campaign, as well as pay tribute to the company's roots. despite much criticism, i think it's a great campaign.

"AMERICA"

this was the commercial i saw on tv. unlike the one below, this commercial didn't translate well to me because i couldn't figure out what the poem or the ad itself had to do with jeans.

"PIONEERS! O PIONEERS!"

both excerpts are from poems by an american poet named walt whitman. what's really interesting is that the voice you hear in the commercials is actually from original wax recordings of whitman reading his poems.

i've got a fever

i'm seeing a trend here. i just realized that my last 5 posts on the blog have been about music haha. anyways... what have i been up to? i have to say, i'm not starting the month of october pretty well. unlike september, october has been lame so for. i'm starting to feel the pressure of school and i haven't been feeling well as of late. i think i've caught the fever. i was feeling just fine friday night when i went out, but when i got home, i was wrecked... and saturday morning wasn't better. but yeah, good thing this week is gonna be lightweight.

september, you were fun! thanks to TU. seriously.

vampire weekend - horchata

i have to say, i'm not liking it too much.. it's kinda disappointing, but it's good to hear a new tune by VW. is it just me or does the song remind you of the rugrats?! lol. i'm really hoping for more guitar on the other tracks.

if you dig it, it's up for free download at VW's website.
