Music Video.. Sunday?

I’m too tired to post anything other than music videos.

  1. Waking Up in Vegas - Katy Perry » I actually had this song stuck in my head for the last week. It’s not a particularly original song, but I really like it. I also think Bones fans should watch the video because I saw it and was like HEYYYY! I got a big kick out of that, haha.
  2. The Wind Blows - The All-American Rejects » I haven’t really heard anything on AAR’s latest album except “Gives You Hell” which is catchy but getting overplayed on the radio. I love this song a lot more, and I think I’ll have to check out the rest of the album. After all, I did love their Move Along album.
  3. Candy - Paolo Nutini » I saw blurbs about Paolo Nutini in three different magazines a couple weeks ago and I finally saw a bunch of his music videos while I was on vacation.
  4. Please Don’t Stop the Rain - James Morrison » I heard this playing in Nordstroms and I looked it up - it’s been stuck in my head as well.
  5. Hearts on Fire - Cut Copy » I LOVE THIS SONG. It’s not new but it’s electropop or synthpop or something of that nature.

I’m feeling a summer television post coming up.. maybe once more series start? I plan to watch ABC Family’s 10 Things I Hate About You only to see if it even comes anywhere remotely close to the film. Which I love, is amazing, and didn’t need to be turned into a television series in the first place. I doubt it, though, but I can’t legitimately complain about it until I see it. Plus, the cast of the series doesn’t even come close to the talent of the original cast. They were amazing. Come on, ABC Family, I’m sure you could have created another high school-set drama without using the storyline from a film…


Because Everything Works, Love

So lately I have been very into acoustic singer-songwriter -ey stuff. (I am terrible at “classifying” music, in case you haven’t noticed so I just took that from last.fm tags. Heh.) I especially love Matt Nathanson, and his song, Come On Get Higher, from Some Mad Hope is free from Walmart MP3 if you click on “free downloads.” It’s actually one of my favorite of his songs. Here, listen:

And while I’m sharing, Sarah Dessen’s new book Along for the Ride comes out on June 16th (just a few more days!) and I am really excited! I rarely ever read teen fiction these days, but I love Sarah Dessen’s novels. I never have time for a lot of reading during the school year so I plan to do some serious reading this summer. I especially intend to finally get through Pride & Prejudice. For some reason, I have the hardest time getting through novels from that era. However, I’ve seen the 2005 film (with Keira Knightley) so many times that I am in love with the story. So when I’m reading the novel, I’m like, HEY I remember that in the film!

Before I forget, the reason I wanted to post in the first place: the trailer for The Time Traveler’s Wife is finally out! I’ve been looking forward to this film for at least a year, because the casting is excellent - Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana as the two main characters! I love them both, and they are both so versatile! The trailer is beautiful, and I hope the film is, too. I read the book it’s adapted from, by Audrey Niffenegger, a couple years ago and maybe I should re-read it before seeing the film. Anyhow, the film finally has a release date: August 14th!
