Okay, confession time. I love New Girl. I know the quirky and cute female protagonist model has been done a million times, and it's not terribly intellectually stimulating, but I don't really care. All I want to do when I watch television is laugh a lot and feel feels. I'm a sucker for cute comedies like that and I haven't seen many shows embrace a weird sense of humor like they have. And as a certified weirdo, I truly appreciate it.
Anyway, at the end of the most recent episode, (which I shouldn't have been watching because I have two midterms this week...but never mind that) while some really sweet romantical stuff was happening, they played this song. And it captivated me so much that I watched it back several times just so I could search the lyrics.
So here, you go, the song at the end of New Girl 2x24, Until We Get There by the Brooklyn-based band Lucius. You can either watch this kind of lame video, or go to my tumblr where I uploaded the audio.
PS Also, for anyone who cares, the character of Jess actually doesn't strike me as a manic pixie dream girl. Unlike Summer, who Zooey Deschanel is also famous for playing, Jess has become a developed and multifaceted character who viewers can sympathize with. Props to the writers of New Girl for that!
There are so many youtube musicians, you've got to be really good to stand out and actually make a name for yourself. I've never heard of Lauren before, but what I understand, she usually uploads covers. Screw covers, girl! This original is out of control, and had my eyes watering by the end of the first verse. I think we all know exactly what she's singing about...
Not only that, but the video is visually stunning. And I totally have that blue dress.
I've been shopping...
Stress shopping, namely. When I have a lot of stuff going on, I online shop as a coping mechanism. So posts about forever21, cotton on, and a beauty haul are coming soon...
I just got home from the Blackbird Blackbird/STRFKR concert, and boy did they exceed my expectations. STRFKR put on a great show, and they even though I came in all stressed out about the rest of this week, I was having the time of my life by the end.
On a different note, I just want to put this out there - it's a cover of Nirvana's Come As You Are by Yuna. Beautiful voice, and beautiful arrangement..
Sorry it's been a while! School has been eating my life recently, but I've still found some worthy stuff.
Since I am going to Sasquatch (AAAHHH!!) this year for the first time, I have taken it upon myself to listen to bands on the lineup that I don't know. Such as...CHVRCHES. One of my best friends actually sent me one of their songs, and within the first few seconds, I was hooked. Enjoy!
I finally bought my ticket for the Blackbird Blackbird/STRFKR show at the Neptune that's happening in a month! After that, I felt it was my duty to actually listen to some STRFKR songs (besides their most well-known one, Rawnold Gregory etc etc, which I had already heard). And man, I had a bit of a "where have you been all my life" moment.
The song Bury Us Alive is from 2011, but it's new to me, so...
From now on, I am putting music/food/books/other stuff I like talking about here, on the internet. Woohoo!
First, some really chill music I've been loving:
I love pretty much everything Blackbird Blackbird does, but these two are my favourites. That reminds me, I still have to get tickets to their show here in Seattle...They're opening for STRFKR at the Neptune, which is super conveniently just a few blocks from where I live. YAY
Anyway, listen to that if ya want.
PS. I'm going to be doing a lot more of these random "stuff I like" things, because there's no way I can keep up a blog if I try to stay on one topic. So there will be a lot more music/books/food/randomness coming your way. =)
