i will bet you a whole post, you don't know shit about the wub wub king.
i'm not going to preach about dubstep, and the fact that i think it sounds like something is going horribly wrong with my phone, or the noises you get when you press too many keys on your computer mixed with the kind of bass that's going to alter your heart rate.
i am, however, going to show ya'll a little thing about skrilly.

why it's taken me this long to listen to the whole album, i'll never understand. this is right up my alley-- sad sack music with a beautiful voice and occasional banjo.
seriously... what have i been doing with my time?
oh, right. that. heh.
sigh no more is quite possibly my most favorite album at the moment. since i've been treated to something called viking metal (wtf, i thought vikings died thousands of years ago) and dubstep lately, i thought i'd treat my ears to something with less wub wub wub and ancient nordic languages.
i have been sorely mistreating them as i have now learned.

i've been in an eminem mood so forgive me. i haven't listened to any of the albums since i was in junior high so it's been a nice throwback the last few days/weeks/what the fuck happened to july?

on top of the world
you know when your friend plays you a song, and you immediately fall in love with it and have to download the entire discography of that particular band or artist?
that's what happened today with imagine dragons.
i think i'm in love.
on the drive home from a site today, my coworker played one of their tracks. it had been a right miserable, rainy day filled with planting and a shit ton of mud. the second this song came on, the truck got a little less water logged. a little less filled with mud. smelled a little less like wet dog/musky men. i felt happy.
you can't be angry when listening to imagine dragons, particularly 'on top of the world'. seriously, feel good song of the summer right there. the whole album is a feel good song. it's like someone is injecting straight happiness into my body via my ears. how's that for a visual for ya?
if there's an album you need to have on your ipod, burned on a cd, do whatever with just have this ep on your person for those moments when you get stuck in traffic, you stub your toe, or your planting hundreds of plants in the pouring fucking rain, this is it. get it together and buy this album right now.
RIGHT NOW. do it.

shitty sound, but this... yeah. just fucking listen to it.

oh. hi. i haven't forgotten about you. i've just been busy trying to get my life back on track after it derailed so quickly. if anyone is curious, suicide watch over. and i'm not angry. i'm just... nothing. i don't care anymore.
but that's not why we're here. we're here because i have a list of songs you want to listen to. or better yet, i have a list of songs that i write down in the hopes that someone reads this. i lead a pretty quiet life, if you haven't surmized already.
there's a story to this currents. i found my old ipod nano in my car-- it's plastic, if that gives you any indication as to just how old it is-- and i can't change the songs on it, so it's forever frozen in time (aka 2008). since i refuse to listen to my real ipod (awful memories, too lazy to change the songs etc...) and my phone is fried, i've been stuck. so i've been listening to 2008 me.
she's pretty cool.

as much as i hate to do this, this song is pretty much my life right now. i absolutely hate it. it's being played to death.
but it's so true.

now and then i think of when we were together. like when you said you felt so happy you could die. told myself that you were right for me, but felt so lonely in your company. but that was love and it's an ache i still remember.
you can get addicted to a certain kind of saddness; like resignation to the end, always the end. so when we found that we could not make sense, well you said that we would still be friends. but i'll admit that i was glad that it was over.
but you didn't have to cut me off, make out like it never happened and that we were nothing. and i don't even need your love but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough. no you didn't have to stoop so low; have your friends collect your records and then change your number. i guess that i don't need that though-- now you're just somebody that i used to know.
now you're just somebody that i used to know.
now and then i think of all the times you screwed me over but had me believing it was always something that i'd done. and i don't wanna live that way, reading into every word you say. you said that you could let it go and i wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know.

alright. so i think we're moving swiftly through the stages of grief. sadness, check. anger, double check. bargaining, in the process, though i'm not really sure why i'm bothing.

i hope they get french herpes from one another. GOOD KARMA, NOW. LET'S DO THIS.
annnyway. enough of my troubles. so last time was a sad song playlist for those cupcake eating, pity party having, cry-your-eyes-out times.
tonight is for the angry white girl times. those times where you want to cut a throat, smack a bitch, scream, rage, break shit. "he broke your heart so i'll break his jaw" kind of songs.
because i would like nothing better than to cut a bitch and break a (his) jaw right now.
anyhow, the list is by far not complete. i'm sure i could find any sort of metalcore or screamo or whatnot and find equally, if not angrier songs than these. but....... i hate that shit. it's not music. it's a bunch of sounds. and screaming. oh so much screaming.
i digress.
after the jump, the angriest songs i know. now go break somethin'.

my weekend has sucked in such a multitude of ways. i feel like i'm in that part of inception when the dream is coming down around them; everything is just crumbling into the sea and you're stuck trying to squeeze gold out of a lemon.

so, because misery loves company, here is a selection of the saddest songs i could find. listen to this for strength, teary-eyed girls of the world, because it's really that bad. but it will get better. sometime. but not any time in the near future.
after the jump, get those tissues ready. the list is long, and involving. and downright fucking depressing. i've had a lot of time to think of this, clearly.

i'm not that gloomy glum girl i was a few weeks ago. i'm not the miserable person i was like, a few days ago. i'm getting better; day by day it gets easier. i'm still furious, but... it's just part of the situation. i'm being intentionslly cryptic, and i apologize for this excursion into my head. but if you who read this haven't figured it out, lyrical fitness posts are songs that reflect my mood, summarize my feelings, what have you. this song is certainly no exception. it's pretty fucking fitting for my ish. lmao

have i mentioned lately how much i suck? i suck a lot. like, enough that you could probably say i suck balls. huge ones. i could probably suck start a harley.
i could suck a golf ball through a garden hose, private snowball.
no. i can't.
shawty got a good jaw, but it work too much.
i talk too much, in other words. but the words are useless when i'm continually failing at what i'm supposed to be doing. i am the worst dead-beat type father. i forgot your birthdays. for the last 4 years. and when i did remember, i sent you a cheque for $6 and told you not to blow it all on candy, despite the fact you're now 19.
forgive me?
after the jump, more things that i've neglected to do over the last couple of months because i am a horrible human. and forgetful. and busy with fucking bettering myself at school. fuck.

i'm studying for my wwii final. and by studying, i mean making a playlist to burn my friend a cd. she only listens to the music i give her, and i haven't given her a new cd since this fall. so needless to say, she's outdated.
so here, i've done us all a favor. i need to write this shit down (i know it's in my itunes playlist, but sometimes i accidentally hit delete or the shuffle button, and then when i try to fix it, it just doesn't sound right.
anyhow, after the jump, you'll find the playlist. i'm quite proud of this one. if you were listening to it on a burned cd, it would flow ohhh so well. seriously proud. i've included the album titles (for once) so if you're so inclined, you'll know where to find it if you already don't.
i should seriously be studying.
fucking enjoy it, bitches.

i like coldplay. i don't care what you say. i like them-- i like the music they produce, i like how the music makes me feel. i like that i can just... listen. so when my friend asked me on monday if i wanted to go to the concert in town on wednesday i jumped for joy and sqealed like you were telling me that i got to lick robert pattinson on his junk (another, completely unrelated love and fantasy). so... i went.
and let me tell you that i will be forever thankful that the person who was supposed to go went to hawaii.
i love coldplay, have i mentioned this?
chris martin, i would gladly allow you to play me like that piano.
anyhow, after the jump you will find my dream set list, followed by the actual set list. they won't differ too much.
i'll try to figure out how to post some pictures... i'm fucking clueless about this sometimes.

feeling ultra blue. like, tears streaming down my face as i type blue. i can't blame it on the weather anymore. it's time to face the music, and realize that if things were different, they'd be better. but they're not, and they're the same and they're not going to change. perhaps in another life... i wish you all the best, my love.
it's all alright. i guess it's all alright. i got nothing left inside of my chest but it's all alright. i guess it's all alright. i guess it's all alright. i got nothing left inside my chest, but it's all alright.

still writing a paper, still doing nothing.
but having my mind blown by miike snow's latest release happy to you which was leaked while i was on vacay and totally forgot about until twenty minutes ago.
it took me a long time to like his first releast, miike snow, for reasons unbeknownst to me. i think it was a conceptual, i'm-going-through-this-phase-where-all-i-listen-to-is-filthy-fucking-hipster-noise misunderstanding. it was too flashy, to pop-y. too catchy. i didn't like it. but i grew to like it, and that like turned into a serious girl crush. and now i love it. there isn't a song on that release that i don't at least tap my toes to.
so far, upon first listen, happy to you is going to be just as good. there's only been one song that i haven't been a huge fan of, but that's neither here nor there.
will post more when i'm not writing a paper that was due friday, and i've given this a solid listen to/dance to.
but so far, probably one of the best releases this year.

no room for a G
question: who is this person, schoolboy q?
answer: someone who's about to blow your fuckin mind.
a little harder than i'd normally go. i'm not yet g enough for this kind of swag. i don't even have the linguistic capability to explain it. like i said, pathetically not g. i'm a kid from the prairies. i have no fucking idea what i'm doing in this sort of atmosphere. i would be so lost at one of these shows.
but i'll have a long way to travel before i can see that, so. moot point.
all my lack of g-ness aside, this is one of the best albums i've ever purchased, with some restrictions. it's not perfect. some of the songs are such contradictions to the over all album feel. some are hopelessly radio-geared songs. some of them are songs i would only blare if i was in some murdered out caprice of some sort in california. bullet proof windows though. i don't like playing with a flame i don't know the characteristics of.
each song is unique. the beat count might be the same, but it's the atmosphere that it creates in my brain that changes. it's as though q wants us to believe that naratives don't belong in rap (and we'll see this in the review of kendrick lamar later on.... i have some choice fucking words), and that's okay with me. he's got some quirky lines, some fucking catchy hooks. the creative drive behind each track gives each one individual merit, though as a whole album it feels disjointed.
yet, when thought of in this context, the album wouldn't work-- if it were some commercially driven release with radio tailored sounds the content of the album wouldn't be the same. it would take away from the arching themes, the hardness for lack of better word. there wouldn't be that element of 'g' if all the songs were less unique and less disjointed on the album.
i'm on the fence about this album. i like it, don't misunderstand my prose. i have my obvious favorites on my playlist, and i feel that these are the singles on the album that outshine some of the other tracks that get lost in the schema of the album. it's a shame-- the beats and lyrics are one of the more creative submissions in recent days.
i'm still learning. i don't know much about the black hippie crew or anything. i just know this album came recommended, and i'm still trying to grasp wtf i'm listening to.
overall, proceed with caution. i can't necessarily recommend it because after 2 weeks of listening to it, i'm still not sure i like it. it has some strong moments (there he go, hands on the wheel, sacreligious, gangsta in designer (no concept)) but falls flat, in my opinion in some of the other songs (grooveline in particular irks me). give it a cursory listen, and if you like what you hear, by all means do it. it's like lichen-- it grows over time, in the right circumstance.
quick listen:
there he go
sacreligious
nightmare on figg st
hands on the wheel (ft a$ap rocky)
sexting
gangsta in designer
blessed (ft kendrick lamar)
ok. so this is like half the album. perhaps i like the album more than i thought i did.... fuck it. get it. it's awesome.
don't think i could write a negative review if i tried.

answer: someone who's about to blow your fuckin mind.
a little harder than i'd normally go. i'm not yet g enough for this kind of swag. i don't even have the linguistic capability to explain it. like i said, pathetically not g. i'm a kid from the prairies. i have no fucking idea what i'm doing in this sort of atmosphere. i would be so lost at one of these shows.
but i'll have a long way to travel before i can see that, so. moot point.

coachellaaaaaaaaa
so of course the first day of my semester coachella releases the lineup for their 2012 set. and of course it's jam packed with people i would choke my grandmother to see.
and of COURSE it's FINALS time.
of fucking course.
there are times where, for as much as it's been shoved down my throat that post-secondary education is the best to get ahead in life, i just want to drop out for a year and do my own thing. i want to make a shit ton of money, and just exist. i want to bum around in nyny, do coachella, do bonaroo. do wayy too much peyote at burning man and trip fucking balls. i just want to be homeless. a drifter with a name, and a passport, but no where to be or go. nothing to do.
i want to be jack kerouac. worse than i have ever wanted to be jack kerouac in my entire life. right now. the degree will always be there. i'm not ready. i have the worst wanderlust.
but this is a music blog. i'll write more here for when y'all wanna read it.
let's dissect the 2012 coachella lineup, shall we?
black keys, high off of their el camino release (which i have yet to do a serious write up for... i have time finally so watch closely), who also recently announced an extension to their tour with the arctic monkeys, are sure to be the to see band this year. i've never seen em live, because i live in the fucking arctic circle and no one, i mean no one ever comes here. but i have absolutely no doubt in the world that they'll put on one of the best shows of this festival.
i have not a lot to say about cat power, explosions in the sky, dear hunter, and a handful of others that i would watch if i was as drunk as this guy.
really, this is how i would make my festival roster, and i'd fucking stick with it.
black keys, arctic monkeys, mazzy star, m83, frank ocean, black angels, band of skulls, kendrick lamar, sheepdogs (whooooooo canadaaaaa), RADIOHEAD, bon iver, david guetta, miike snow, fiest (gooooooo calgaryyyyyyy!!!!!) st. vincent, flying lotus, manchester orchestra, awolnation, AZELIA BANKS, a$ap rocky, childish gambino, the vaccines, we were promised jetpacks (fucking sue me), dragonette, keep shelley in athens (only if high), dr. dre & snoop, florence + the machine, beirut, the weeknd, GIRL TALK, gotye, araabmuzik.
then i'd pass out and die from exhaustion, happy that i FINALLY fucking saw coachella. now... to drop out.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaa just kidding. maybe next year.
and of COURSE it's FINALS time.
