Best Coast

I kind of like them. 

Oddville

What ever happened to this show?

Sleep the Clock Around

This was the first Belle and Sebastian song I heard in 2001 when I was 14 or 15. I am starting to think I had better taste in music when I was younger. Maybe not better taste, but better resources to finding great bands. Not sure how that works considering iTunes and whatnot. But back before the Internet was as crazy as it is now, bands felt more like your own. 

I have a problem with questioning everything I hear, wondering if its actually good or if I'm tricked into thinking its good because someone told me so. Well one thing I know is that THIS is good, and I'm going to go with what I'm into instead of what I think I should to be into (though, Belle and Sebastian is one of those bands everybody can't help but to love).

Yes!

Navy Beans

(Couldn't find the original with better quality)

Lets pretend he never did 'Click', 'Grown-ups' or 'Just Go With It', and remember him like this.

(Look for Kevin Nealon as the Sloppy Joe, Sarah Silverman as the Chinese food, and Norm McDonald as the string bean)

Angus

Man, Angus was such a good movie...and I thought (from what I remembered) the soundtrack was awesome, too. So I looked it up and it wasn't as good as I thought. Darn. BUT I found a song on it that I haven't heard in awhile.

I wish they still made movies like Angus and bands like (the old) Weezer. I feel like I can compare Weezer to actors like Adam Sandler and Mike Myers. They were the best part of the 90's, but now they're trying to keep up with what the new generation considers cool/funny. They just need to go back to what were good at.

In the Middle of It

Ok, so I'm in the process of testing new music. I'm looking up bands I already like, and there are links that claim if I like so and so then I'll also be into so and so. They don't seem to know what they're talking about yet.
So far they've been bands from New York who make super corny dance music that all sound the same. But at least now I know to never listen to The xx. Just awful.

So What

"Its only embarrassing if you care what people think."

This and Dougie have been my guilty pleasure songs for a few months now. Maybe I just need to find more music that tells me what dance move I need to do to it. Only kidding.

When I look back I don't want I Whip my Hair and Teach me How to Dougie to be my soundtrack for this year. They've just been used to preoccupy my time while I search for music that doesn't make me feel embarrassed for knowing the words. So What!

Music Search

I'm trying to find new music to get into, but I keep falling back on stuff I already know. The good new stuff has been getting over-played, so I'm tired of it before I download it. Shoot....

Maybe I'll just stay faithful to the bands I know are good instead of getting hyped over a fun single by groups like Passion Pit. Its only been a little over a year since I heard of them and I already think their music is simple and silly.

18

When I was 18, I would drive around imagining myself as the singer of this. I need to find music that'll do that to me again. The search is on!

New Plan

I'm not so sure I'm into blogging. Every time I write something, the next day I look at it and cringe. Most people who have blogs have themes, but I don't have an idea for a theme yet. I don't want to use this as an emotional outlet which may later embarrass me or be used against me, I already did that in high school. Here's embarrassing proof of it. (click here if you want to get to know the 15-18 year old me)


Maybe my theme should be my search for a hobby and potential activities I might be able to get good at. I kind of forgot what those are ever since grad school took over.

For now, I'll just post videos and links that I think are cool or funny. Maybe I'll find new things to be interested in through that.
