Arcade Fire Awesomeness →
I’m sure many of you saw this yesterday, but just in case you didn’t, you must check it out. It says you need Google Chrome to run it, but it ran fine for me with Firefox. Very, very cool. And an excellent song to boot.

Currently listening to...
I’ve only really heard a couple of Editors songs here and there. Though, “No Sound But the Wind” is one I realllly like. So, I’ve been anxious to hear more. On first listen, I really like this. Tom Smith’s voice is so distinct and could easily overpower the music, but there’s a really nice balance here. They fit very well. So far, favorites are...

You are seriously considering investing in stylish ear plugs. Seriously though, at the last concert I went to, I was closerthanthis to the giant wall of speakers and I could feel my eardrums crying. With the amount of shows I have lined up for the fall, this may not be a bad idea.

where to begin??
I have been on such a music-buying binge lately that I have created a bit of a problem for myself. I have so much new-to-me music that I don’t know where to begin with it. Do I make a massive mix and listen to a little of everything all at once, or do I choose an album or two a day to really focus on? I may end up doing a little of both. However I do it, I’m soooo excited to have...

Don’t you love it when you listen to an album you love, but that you haven’t heard in a while, and all the excitement and pleasure you had when you first listened to it come rushing back? It’s like seeing an old friend again. Like coming back home. I love that.

Top 10 Beatles Songs?
So, Rolling Stone just put out this massive special issue about The Beatles’ 100 greatest songs. I stared at the cover from afar last night at Barnes & Noble and seriously considered picking it up. I may still. But today, I saw (on one of my favorite pop culture blogs, Pop Candy) that Rolling Stone has listed their Top 10 Beatles Songs here. If you’d rather not click through,...

10 Day Music Challenge- Day 10
Your all-time favorite gig.
Hm. This is tough, because I’ve been to a lot of amazing gigs lately. My favorite though, would probably have to be the June 10, 2009 Coldplay gig in San Antonio, TX. It was my first show of the Viva la Vida tour (I’d see two more later that summer), and I was so excited just to be there. I’d gotten the cheapest tickets available, since I had...

a giant, gooey chocolate chip cookie. Seriously. Out of nowhere, I have an intense desire to pop a batch in the oven so I can fill my house with that delicious smell. Then, I want to eat them all. Well, maybe I’d share some with my kids.
