The New Itunes

Does everyone else finish downloading the new itunes?? That shit is sick! All of the new features are awesome but my favorite is the genious addition. That might be one of the coolest things I think I've seen so far this year. So you pick any song from your library and it makes a playlist consisting of either 25, 50, 75, or 100 songs from your own library that would go great with that song AND there's a sidebar that recommends songs from that artist and artists similar to that artist as well, with the itunes store on that sidebar as well. I'm in love..I've already bought some tracks from Lily Allen I didn't have and I'm satisfied.

Nostalgia

I've been nostalgic lately, and I was thinking about the movie My Girl the other day, well My Girl 2 more specifically, and I couldn't get that Elton John song that comes out in the movie, out of my head ; Bennie and the Jets. So I downloaded it, I'm pretty sure everyone's heard it and it's a classic, I've provided the link below for downloading.

Concerts That I Must Attend

There are just some bands and performers that I have to see in the next few years now that I'm 18 and I have a little more independence. These are the people/bands I have to see live, someday:

-Rage Against The Machine (they better not break up again by the time I get to see them)
-Kanye West
-Mark Ronson
-Radiohead
-John Mayer
-Muse
-Madonna (if she's still alive :D)
-Jason Mraz
-Lily Allen


I would have included Amy Winehouse on the list, but if i wanted to see a shitty performance, I'd just look at them on youtube, and the chances of her coming to L.A. to perform are slim to none.

Top Guitar Riff

One of the greatest guitar riffs ever.

Period.

The Ting Tings Make Me Tingle

I heard the Ting Tings a while ago, but I didn't know it was them until my sisterrrrr lent me their cd and I heard their song again and I instantly recognized them and the song. I posted the video for their awesome song "Great Dj".

Born Under The Brixton Sun

My new media player, with my first song posting from Nouvelle Vague, with their cover of The Clash's Guns Of Brixton. Doesn't the player look cool?

Sweet and Tender

So I enjoy listening to this little french cover band called Nouvelle Vague, which in french means, new wave. They cover songs you wouldn't expect to be covered, like the Dead Kennedys, and Buzzcocks, but it works. There's only one of their covers that I did NOT enjoy, their Come On Eileen cover, which had a woman with a very low and dry voice singing it; which is ironic since all their other covers are done by women with sweet and calm voices, so it's sweet to listen to.

Live Performances vs. In Studio

Now, I'm all for live performances, but I'll be honest, some people just can't perform live! Example, one my of all time favorites, Amy Winehouse, sucks really bad, when she "performs" live, I don't know why, possibly the drugs, yeah, most likely the drugs, but still, she needs to get her shit straight. Now one person, that I'd rather hear live is John Mayer, yeah, he sounds great on record, but his live performances are nothing to compare to. I've posted one of his live performances and one of Amy Shithouses performances, you decide.
