Aaaawwwwwwwwww

Valentine's Day

Firstly gotta say super happy birthday to my lovely friend the penguin. She floats my boat, and rocks my world. :):)

Now:

I had a different post, but i changed my mind, and now I'm thinking of:
Marvyn Gaye, Stax, Motown, Hearts, Ruffles, Cake, Cards, Fluff, Flowers, Air, Al Green, Sigur Ros,

Now this is absolutely reflective of my age/stupid brain but...
oh and call me lame but:

And i know Scott is Gay but:


And my absolute favourite.


Now, in other stuff: It's time to start preparing now i reckon.

The first Friday in may is always...

Also: ooooohhhhhh

Musical Crystal Glasses Like Never Before

Ok, go on say it, i'm disgusting.

Oh Lads

More of this, this and this.

This morning it was the turn of the unforgettable Wamdue Porject.


I'm beginning to think there's some kind of private joke, or trying to see if anyone's really bothered. Stoppit!

In my continuing feature

which is nameless as of yet.. although I'm thinking of calling it "What were you thinking?" or "Stop my ears are bleeding", more crap. I'm sorry that's the only word I can think of though.

The latest assault on my ears came in the form of Whigfield

I used to always confuse her with Cyndi Lauper.
And blah blah, i know i'm prob helping to further the pain, by mentioning it, but i need an outlet!

I need something to get me through

Raptureponies HEARTS Bob Dylan.

Actually... who doesn't?


*Again hope it works cos my comp is a bit banjoed.

Emmm... #2

Further to This. I just heard this on the radio in the office.

I must admit I may have danced at the time but Seriously?

*hope that youtube works... my comp is acting a bit funny.

Check out about 1.21

From Tib, who clearly shares my passion!

Emmm.....

There's something weird going on. There seems to be an emergence of 90s dance music going on at the moment. Especially here. Is this a conscious decision... Did i miss a press release? I've already heard this


and


this week...
what's next the Vengabus? *shudder*

I heart SFA

Super Furry Animals that is. I saw them doing a spot of bingo at EP (which i mega heart) a while back, and they were great fun!

Anywho: Hello Sunshine

Ba ha ha ha ha ha!!!

This is so old, but i've only just seen it now! Star Wars Christmas joy

Weekend and stuff

It's the weekend, a child has been christened, Raptureponies drank too much, what is new! We also had some delightful fun with wigs, and the word strog!

Anywho Lost is back tonight, or so i hear. I've pretty much lost interest in Lost. After defending it against Prison Break (too unrealistic) i have finally changed my tune. It's just a bit.. oh here we are again, with no answers and no end in sight. I'll probably still end up watching it, and then be annoyed with myself for watching it, because it's so annoying. I wish i had a quiz to go to.

Which i do tomorrow night... If you bring in some cds you can get in for free. And it will be worth it to see a great man at work. It's for Oxfam, i've been to a few of the other ones, mucho fun!

Songza is a pretty deadly site, that plays tunes. It's kind of like musicovery, but different. It has pretty much everything i've searched for so far, so pleased about that. In fact they are good in their own special ways.

All those facebook pokings, you never really understood, have no fear, the urban dictionary is here.

Ghost Riding: The act of hanging outside of their driver-side door with no driver in the seat while the car is still in motion. From the yay area, oakland!

Ghost riding the whip,
doors open,
invisible driver!
invisible driver!

Throwing Shade: is to throw "attitude."

I was all up in the club "Throwing Shade" last night.

Raptureponies HEARTS this dress.

Feck!I had loads of stuff i wanted to blog about, but i forgot cos i was so busy today... hhmmm, need to do some schedule juggling or something like that.

Post it Fun

A bit Woah

I just love this

I'm quite likely wrong, but i love this Hot Chip.



Videos cool too...

A tribute

To great movie scores.

I really want to see this

It's because i'm a big child.

Penelope

Coool!!

A cool new magazine is about to spread it's ehhh inked wings... very odd analogy there. In fact it possibly isn't an analogy! Anywho check it out here. It's called State and it's gonna be good. Website is already miles ahead impressing me.

Anyone got any covers ideas? I frickin love covers.

You know when you have private jokes, or scene relavent jokes, and you try to explain them to someone else, and they don't get it? That's it, it's just so weird, i think hats are funny, anyone with me?

Am very excited by the Science Gallery.

Some Stop Motion.

Here are some pictures. I've seen this before, but it's a collection of pictures that show entire family's food for one week. I always liked these pictures.









Hhmmm, very... telling i guess is the phrase?!

Everything sounds like Coldplay, it's from a long while back!

Song is so catchy

That Gwen Stefani, Eve song

My New Favourite Band

Vampire Weekend, although i'm often wrong about these things. They are from New York don't ya know?

Plus the video is fecking deadly!!!!
A-Punk


Mansard Roof

Stuff of the Week

Stuff from this week.
I was at the Irish Premiere of Sweeney Todd. Which was a lot of fun. It's a great movie, and well worth a look IMO. You can also freak out everyone you know by sending cards and not signing them from the website. Stalkers for the win!


This site has funny pictures of money folded in a way that the people on it look like they are wearing funny hats...

The Album Archive is doing The Bends this week. Ding Ding Ding.

Facebook has some very interesting new, ehhh.... racially aware i guess, Superpoking capabilities.

I'm going to check out these lads tonight. I saw them at Electric Picnic, and they knocked my socks off. I have high hopes.

Going drinking in the Bernard Shaw first so anyone coming and interested pop along, and maybe start shouting raptureponies...that would be fun.

This site has some 'mazing statue picturinos!



I love Covers and so does Jim Carroll, this automatically makes me cool right? Anywho, you wanna contribute your two cents to the Covers debate, check out Jim's Blog and some excellent stuff in the Ticket.

Saw Juno the other day

It might be the best film of this century. I'm not saying that lightly. The Film is excellent.

Rick has more about it, cause i'm writing about the soundtrack. The soundtrack is possibly the most perfect soundtrack ever, and i really like soundtracks.

This soundtrack is frickin awesome though. It's introduced me to Kimya Dawson, who's great, and re-introduced me to some songs i'd totally forgotten. It's on my top five from now on.




Michael Cera and Ellen Page sing too :):)



Unfortunately it was too late by the time i realised i should put the songs in the order they are in the film.
:/

Sorry about the plentifulness of the videos that are completely dodgy.

Edit: oh yeah, more here and here.

Go see this movie!
