Dots in music
- Sometimes a song just blows me away. Even after hearing only couple of words.
- After hearing Ingrid Michaelson - Maybe on Body of Proof I listened to it ten times if not more. And there is nothing extraordinary in that song, just a simple heartbreak song with a kinda optimistic (!) idea (yes, I hear you all telling me this song is oh so lame. Shut up now)
- Eye Set to Kill - Doll Parts was my instant love, even though I am not a huge fan of Hole or Courtney Love (actually, I can’t stand her). Oh, but Eye Set to Kill version of Polly was horrible. (btw, isn’t it kinda tragically romantic that both Love’s Doll Parts and Cobain’s Polly were covered in the same LP)
- Been listening to Adele a lot recently. Really helps to get to sleep while on the intercity bus. And I am truly tired of biweekly 110km trips.
- Don’t you think Adelitas Way in their I Wanna Be sounds a lot like Nickelback. Ok, maybe on their way to becoming the new Nickelback. (hint: listen a bit to Rockstar and compare the lyrics)
- I guess I am still the most excited about having tickets to 30 Seconds to Mars concert in the end of fall. I would give all my teddy bears away if they played Valhalla in that gig. I consider it to be my biggest love of all 30STM songs. I can’t wait for that concert. Remembering last years Metallica’s gig I should probably start revising my karate moves. Those 14 year old girls sure can kick and elbow you to death.
- An old friend was checking my iPod (ok, so she was searching for Adele songs) and the last played song on there was Demon Hunter - Collapsing. You should have seen her face. She still knows me as a girl who listens to John Mayer and Snow Patrol. But nowadays I listen to alternative metal or alt rock when I need an energy boost (anyone wants to see my workout playlists?). Now tell me this isn’t the most perfect song to get you going? And wanna know a secret? I’m considering getting a tattoo saying in misery is where I belong (I would definitely get it if wasn’t so shitless scared of getting fired from my current job).
- I can’t believe it’s been almost two years since Battle Studies (by John Clayton Mayer) was released. In my head it’s still “the new album”. Days fly by so fast I am starting to doubt I am gonna be able to finish my bucket list in time. And can you believe it’s 5 years since Continuum was born. 5 years. Half of decade. I miss John. And I miss having more free time. I miss listening to all the possible live versions of his songs and analyzing every interpretation.
OK, enough with the grieving. Time to be an adult, feed my family, do some washing and pack my bags. And listen to some energy songs :P
