NEW MUSIC IN 2007

Bloc Party, "A Weekend In The City" if you have ever heard a Bloc Party song, you are glad they are finally back. If not, your not the music genuis you think you are! their previous album "Silent Alarm" had great alternative hits like "Banquet", "So Here We Are", and even "Pioneers" Which got itself on The Oc. Now they are back and are living up to their reputation, talking about the desfunction of society with a good beat to accompany. 3 out of 5

"Hunting For Witches" - has a desfuncitonal computer, which nylon magazine says they were aiming for, and a beat that imeditly wants to make you dance. With lyrics like "I'm sitting on the roof of my house/ with a shotgun". I belive it is symbolism how society singles out the people who are diffrent. Which back in the day would lead people to thinking your a witch.

"Uniform" - The Pace for this song is a little slower but it is worth the download. This song i belive is about how alot of people look the same. With the opening line of "there was a sense of dissapointment as we left the morgue/ all the young people look the same". So download this song about wearing masks, being handsome and being bored.

"Song For Clay (Dissapear Here)" - Great vocals in this ballad starting song, about trying to be heroic but being hollow. It has a great shift in music, which seems like a mood changes only threw gutairs.

"SRXT" - this song depresses the hell out of me, with sad music and lyrics about takeing down posrters and "i called ugene/ and told him im drowing". Listen to this song and hear about what makes the upbeat band sad.

Modest Mouse - "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank" I know having them back at the same time as bloc party is going to be a good thing, although I've only heard one song. It seems they are the same old them, if not a little more upbest music wise. DON'T KNOW THEM !? YES YOU DO THEY SANG "FLOAT ON" on thier cd "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" 4 out of 5

"Dashboard" - This song is a upbeat, and head bop worthy. "well you told them about nowhere, but it seems like a place id want to go". GREATTTTT lyrics, download the single and see for yourself. It has an alternative chinese sound at a time, and great beat noise that provides some bass.


The Shins - "Wincing The Night Away" A Great band, returns with a great release this year. Unlike the other two bands on this list, I didn't like untill their release this year. Although I'm now looking at them in a whole new light. The singer who used to have trouble sleeping has now created a good album to play at the end of your day and think about all that you've done and want too. 3 out of 5

"Sleeping Lessons" - A soft song, that begins as if you are already asleep and can hear a voice talking to you. The the beat comes in like your heart beat, as he sings about "theres a thousand diffrent versions of your self". Then later the gutairs become more clear, and they are fantastic. "Just Put Yourself In My New Shoes/And See Why I Do What I Do". Its a great song, that says one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies "off with their heads".

"Turn On Me" - a song about fadeing affections, and i get the impression its somewhat about growing up.

"Australia" - this pace is the fastest ive heard, and it reminds me of my friend who came from austrila. It really is a soundtrack for rememberance. As he talks about dancefloors, andbeing a minute to late. "You Havn't Loved Since January"

Deerhoof - "Friend Opportunity" This is the band all the creative bands you know think are creative. This band has never created a hit, to be a hit. They do music for music sake, and are obscene and indepdent. Take a trip into this wierd world of what music can be.

"Kidz Are So Small" This song is so wierd, with a great electronic rock beat about how if she was a man, and you a dog, she throw a stick for you. Listen to possibly their most dancy song yet.

"Wither The Small Birds" This songs like a japenese ballad, sung by a cartoon preschool charachter. In a romance movie.

"The Perfect Me" A rocky march-esque song by this creative band, very upbeat. Makes me wanna mosh, and cry out at the same time. Although thats all on the inside of course.

Hey everyone!

The play is done now, thank you for everyone who said I did a good job it means alot to me. It was really fun doing, and i'm going to miss that class alot. I think we had the best cast, and have been threw alot togther. The school board has mentioned to mr jones about combining the two classes for one final show, so I hope if they do it I can have a chance to be included. Other then that, a band called shoreline has asked me to help promote them, so i'll be giving out some cds when they get here to people who will help them on there way. If you want to know what they sound like before I get the copys then you should hit up their myspace. If all goes alright, I should be doing a set for their tour. ALthough when and where are still along way off, so yeah check them out.

This weekend is going to be very busy so i will try my best to write after one of the shows, although i have studying for exams and not to mention partays.

hey
so yeah i know long time no write, so yeah play is in 4 more school days! i went to the other classes and they did a good job. I've been going out a little bit, not as much as usual but still going out none the less. Most of my time is being spent in terrace, i went like three times this weekend. I got to hang out with my friend there once with natalie, it was great fun. We were so classy reading the new yorker, vintage clothing hahaha. I've been really wanting to dj, its like my craving i dono. I just want to do it to it. AHH. although about the play in terrace, it wasn't going to work out. Since my dad has hockey on two of the rehersal days, ughh i really wanted to be a part of it. Although The urban color fashion show is postphoned so i have more time to get ready for that after "Murders In The Heir" is all done.
I've bought two cds since i last wrote,

"K-Os's "Atlantis [Hymns For Disco]"" and it is hip hop, electronic, jass, rap, ghetto, chants, clips of old songs, rock all road into one. I call it exploration hip hop because it sticks to the one genre but brings in tiny diffrent aspects. With great and meaningfull lyrics that arnt like "SHAKE YO ASS" like most hip hop albums, K-Os is a music genuis.
id give it 3 out of 5
download: sunday morning, born to run, & fly paper

"The Killers' "Sams Town"" and their last album i belive was better, simply since it was my view of a perfect album. Although I found this album to be a little more arena rock then their indie/alternative past, although in some parts you can hear the old killer's that bursted onto the scene because they did it effortlessly. This album also seems to have a desert theme, like the case, and various refrences to deserts and sun on my back and all that. As well as two of their videos for singles "when you were young" and "bones" being in the desert it comes across.

hey everyone,
wow so i havnt written for what to me is a long time. Hahaha I've been sober for 9 days, woohoo! Now that i'm back to school, things have been busier. I am working really hard in my math, getting more creative in english and writing. Although its in the drama class that things are really getting busier with no more then two weeks to go till we are on stage in 60+ people for three nights in a row. I'm scared and still learning the last few of my killer lines.
New for the other play "the secret garden", is well nothing i have gotten no call back from the director to set something up. Even though on the phone he sound really interested in having me for the part. I really just wish I at least get to meet with them and have an audition or something.
I have been going to the gym alot lately with jackie, I hope to get in better shape for this summer in edmonton. She just wants to get in better shape. I havn't really had time to work on my writeing but i'll start again soon. I've gone shopping in terrace [Next town over] a couple times and recently me and chancey were in our favorite coffee shop "the artful cup". While enjoying or smoothies, the owner of urban color came up to us and asked us to help promote them, and help with a fashion show in early febuary. So at least i'll have that to occupy me after "murder's in the heir" is all done.

Well ive noticed alot of people got ipods for christmas so i'd figure i'd commit to giving you a longer list of song downloading ideas for those of you that want to fill it..

HEY!!
HAPPY NEW YEARR!!

although if your new years eve night was anything like mine it SUCKED. Although I have a feeling the rest of the new year isn't going to be that way. On the eve of 2007, I got in an arugment with one of my best friends jackie and not to mention got way to drunk. To be honest I don't even remember where I was for the countdown! yikes. Although with this new year comes new things, like vows that I won't drink again till..summer : yeah its sort of shocking or at least it is to me. Since last summer I don't think i've gone a week without being drunk at one point.
BUT things are changeing, i've been working on my novel alot and expect to be done by the end of january. My play with the school is comeing soon this month, and i'm trying out for a possible role in a play in terrace called "The Secret Garden". Jackie & I have also been working out, by going to the gym and what not to get in shape for this summer. I also am glad to say that O.O.A.K. is going to start designing really soon. The myspace site should be launched before this summer, with great cool stuff you'll want to buy. I am currently getting rid of the last bit of blue in my hair, with some more blonde dye haha. So I should get going although, before I do im going to give you some good songs to download and put up this soundless video of me and jackie shopping & possibly one of me christina and natalie danceing. HAHA.
