Under the Milky Way
toolshedmedia02.com/ts/thechurch-utmw.mp3 The Church's acoustic version of "Under The Milky Way" is available for you to listen to. It's always been a favorite song of mine, and I love this version. If you've seen the film, "Donnie Darko" you might remember it was featured in the film and on the soundtrack. Anyway, I've posted the link, if you're interested in listening to it.
In other music news, Abandoned Pools has a new album out! In 2002 I fell in love with their first LP, which was called "Humanistic." Their new album is called "Armed to The Teeth" and I am excited to hear it. I am also excited about seeing Coldplay in 6 days! As filter says, we are living on planet coldplay this summer...I saw a set-list from a recent show and I think it's going to be a pretty good show if the set-lists are the same. I'm slightly upset that I may never see "Rush of Blood" live. They didn't play it at the show I saw a few years ago and I don't see it on this list, either. Oh well, I'm sure it must be tough to pick the songs for your concert. If I were in a band and I was sick of all of my songs except a few and it were up to me, I would probably play the only 3 I liked over and over again (like "on repeat").
More music news, here is the link to some new music from a band I'm currently into. www.clapyourhandssayyeah.com/mp3/Home_On_Ice.mp3 They are called "Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah." Long and strange name, but it probably made them stand out amongst a lot of the other bands they kind of sound like. One of those bands would be The Arcade Fire. They sound a bit like them to me. I see on their website they are playing at The Troubadour in October, so it might be worth going to. This fall looks promising for concerts! Coldplay in August, Stellastarr in September, Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah in October, Death Cab in November. :)
Another new band I've been getting into is Editors. They are from the UK and were introduced to me from a friend in the UK (thanks, Michelle). Their debut album is called "The Back Room." If you like Interpol, I would suggest listening to this record (cd, whatever). Check out their website here: www.editorsofficial.com , and listen to the track "Munich."
For some reason my links are not showing up in my posts, so if there is a problem with any of these links, I'm sorry for the inconvenience! But you can always GOOGLE these bands and get the info on your own (until my wonderful 'links' are working). I figured out the links on my sidebar, I should be able to figure out the codes for the links inside my blog posts!
Some of my older friends (and I don't mean older as they are older, I mean that as in friends for a long time older..)...some of my older friends say that I've become a music snob. I don't think I have become a snob, I've just really become interested in what I listen to. I no longer have a high tolerance for "top 40" RADIO music. I do occasionally like a song that is played on the radio, but for the most part I highly dislike most radio station's formatting. There are a few exceptions...I'm beginning to discover that I like stations that dedicate their playlists only to music from the 80s or only from the 90s. I also like some indie stations. Anyway, I am only sorry to those friends who are still listening to the "top 9 at 9" or whatever it was that we were exposed to. I blame (and thank) my current music love and knowledge on travelling and reading. First, I love a lot of the music from the UK, because of the traveling I was able to do. I was exposed to 6 or 7 music video channels on mom and dad's sky tv....many, many videos from bands that don't get US exposure. Believe it or not, I've also learned so much from reading music magazines! So there, I'm a music snob...but to all of my friends who are not music snobs...PLEASE QUIT listening to the radio. Most stations only play 11 and 12 songs a day. Between the commercials and talk, the rotations is only 11 or 12 songs..the same ones! So if you're loving that *new* Killers song (it's not so new), it's because you've heard it at least 5 times a day!
**Hey MikeG...thanks for commenting! Of course you can visit my blog, and please do comment! It's fun, you should create your own blog, (like you said) for when you are away at sea. I'm surprised Ginger doesn't have a blog.
I forgot to tell you that I went to a new brunch place yesterday. It's called Hugo's and it's in West Hollywood. The food was excellent, and we saw 3 separate celebrities...Busy Phillips, Chloe Sevingy, and Jennifer Love-Hewitt (we actually saw her at Ikea..oops).
That's all for this Monday....

Hey music snob! haha j/k
I thought about starting my own blog, but I doubt anyone would want to read about my boring life, hehe.
Happy Tuesday!
as if my life is sooooooooo interesting. These blogs..they are a journal...one that's easy to keep up with, too :)
Oh yea, "clap your hands and say yea", reminds me of your mom riding on the back of my purple tank Triumph with her arms wrapped around my waist!
