ZOOEY DESCHANEL

I have fallen completely and utterly in love with Zooey Deschanel. Recently I rented a movie called The Good Life, starring some random bald kid and is about his life in a small town. His life is very depressing, as is the movie. However Zooey Deschanel portrays a beautiful if insane girl who pretends to be Judy Garland. The best part is where she sings to an old dude, as I feel her voice is gorgeous, thus half of my love and devotion to her. She also sang in Elf, and it was awesome. I really need to see Yes Man now, because she is amazing and I am obsessed with her. I also need to buy her cd. And become her lesbian lover.

I would totally kiss Zooey Deschanel. Even though Katy Perry is her look-alike, I would not kiss Katy Perry. Because Zooey is awesome and Katy is not. Zooey even has a better name. That's right. Bitch. Slap.

Fiona Apple

In the 90's I was in-freaking-love with this girl. I mean, really. What could be better than Criminal? Her low, throaty, depressively emotional voice sent me all a-shiver. I found her again while purusing the library's cd choices. They have both of her cd's, and I am in love once again. I have chosen a new song of hers to be obsessed with, though it is still from the first album.

THE CHILD IS GONE
Darling, give me your absence tonight
Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white
Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside
And dont bother leaving the light on
cuz I suddenly feel like a different person
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
A vacancy that just did not belong
The child is gone

Honey help me out of this mess
Im a stranger to myself
But dont reach for me, Im too far away
I dont wanna talk cuz theres nothing left to say
So my
Darling, give me your absence tonight
Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside
cuz theres no kind of loving that can make this all right
Im trying to find a place I belong
And I suddenly feel like a different person
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand over a strange inversion
As the darkness turns into the dawn
The child is gone
The child is gone

She Had The World - Panic! at the Disco

She held the world upon a string
But she didn't ever hold me
Spun the stars on her fingernails
But it never made her happy
Cause she couldn't ever have me

She said she won the world at a carnival
But she could never win me
Cause she couldn't ever catch me

I, I know why
Because when I look in her eyes
I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well I, just see the sky

I don't love you I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind
Throw an old line out to sea
To see if I can catch a dream

The sun was always in her eyes
She didn't even see me
But that girl had so much love
She'd wanna kiss you all the time
Yeah, she'd wanna kiss you all the time

She said she won the world at a carnival
But I'm sure it didn’t ruin her
Just made her more interesting
I'm sure it didn’t ruin her
Just made her more interesting

I, I know why
Because when I look in her eyes
I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well I, I just see the sky

I don't love you I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind
Throw an old line out to sea
To see if I can catch a dream

I suppose this is my latest song obsession. This is from Panic's latest album. Sammi bought it a couple months ago, and on the first listen through, we thought the album was a dud. But it grew on me, especially this song. It's very Beatles-esque. Muy divertido!

Chasing Pavements - Adele

I've made up me mind
Don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong I am right
Don't need to look no further
This ain't lust
I know this is love

If I tell the world
I'll never say enough
Cos it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do
If I end up with you

Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads no where,
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place should I leave it there.
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere

I build myself up
And fly around in circles
Waiting as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it or

Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place should I leave it there.
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere

Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there

*Should* I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere

Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there

Should I give up
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements
Should I just keep on chasing pavements

Should I give up
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there

Should I give up
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere


This song is another one of my optimistic finds. Also the music video is very cute. And Adele's voice is amazing. She's also got that chubby thing going on that is rarely seen in female performers anymore, so yeah, go her.

The Abba Flu...or is it Mono?

For reasons unknown, I have recently been obsessed with Abba. I can't go a day without listening to either Take A Chance On Me or Dancing Queen. Crazy, I know, considering I used to loathe them. It appears that I am now quite fond of 70's pop. I may have to shoot myself soon.

On a slight side note, I'm very excited about Mama Mia! coming out. Hopefully it comes to the Humota before it hits DVD. God knows I am not shelling out $8 bucks to see it.

Love Me Dead - Ludo

Love me cancerously
Like a salt-sore soaked in the sea
'High-maintenance' means
You're a gluttonous queen
Narcissistic and mean

Kill me romantically
Fill my soul with vomit
Then ask me for a piece of gum
Bitter and dumb
You're my sugarplum
You're awful, I love you!

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
Must be the sign on my head
That says, oh
Love me dead! Love me dead!

You're a faith-healer on T.V.
You're an office park without any trees
Corporate and cold
Gushing for gold
Leave me alone

You suck so passionately
You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature
finger-bangin' my heart
You call me up drunk
Does the fun ever start?
You're hideous and sexy!

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
Must be the sign on my head
That says, oh
Love me dead! Love me dead!

Wow! Uh!

[awesome guitar solo]

Love me cancerously
Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da!
How's your new boy?
Does he know about me?
You've got the mark of the beast
You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful!

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
Wha' 'bout that sign on my head
That says, oh
Love me dead! Love me dead!
Oooooh, Love me dead!

Crazy addictive. Well, this song at least. The rest of their songs play out like something I would love when I was in 8th grade. Yes, they have a New Found Glory vibe with a Weezer-esque frontman. Nice harmonies, simple guitar chords, catchy lyrics. All in all, a good listen. Good Will Hunting By Myself is also quite amusing.

Guilty Pleasures...

These are just a few songs that I can't help but like. Not that I'm a music snob or anything, I just don't generally like some genres of music. These are the exceptions to my non-existent rules. Shhhhh, don't tell...wouldn't want people to think I wasn't cool...*coughs*

1. I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry
In theory, I hate this song because girls like "I can't understand the concept of silence/I never shut up/won't somebody stick a dick in my mouth" Haley like this song. However, I can't help it. I blame the fascination on the over-simplistic lyrics and catchy tune. Also, the vocal layering is nice. I don't think I would kiss Katie Perry though, drunk or not.

2. Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie
I can't lie, I'm secretly addicted to all of her songs. I love Fergie. Does anybody happen to notice the uncanny similarity between her eyebrows and The Joker's from batman? Anyone? Because I do, hardcore.

3. Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
If I really had to be honest with myself, I would admit that, yes, I do like this song. Much for the same reason that I like The Song That Doesn't End. That's right, because I am a masochist. Personally, I think that Gwen Stefani was much better off as a badass bleach blonde (occasionally fuschia) hottie in a ska band, but whatever. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

4. Gangster's Paradise - Coolio
Man, early 90's, he was the shit. Don't look at me that way. Stop it.

ps. Michelle Pfiffer was super hot in that video. I'm sure that I would like it if I kissed her, cherry chapstick or no.

5. Cupid's Chokehold - Gym Class Heroes
Not that there's anything particularly embarrassing about liking the Gym Class Heroes, or the song. However, this just seems like a guilty pleasure song because it always makes me smile for no particular reason. Supertramp did the original version. I think, for once, I like the new version better. Not sure why, exactly. Maybe just because it is actually 5 billion times better? The world may never know.

Dirty Little Rabbits

What can I say about them? Well, driving home from Vinny's today, the song "You Say" by the Dirty Little Rabbits came on and I fell immediately head over heels. Also sweet is the fact that they come from Johnston, Iowa. This is cool pretty much only because I live in Iowa. Anyway, they are cool beans.

Pan's Labyrinth

I fucking love this movie. It gives me chills.



Lullaby

New Soul

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)

See I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate? try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)

This is a happy end
Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong

This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

New soul... (la, la, la, la,...)
In this very strange world...
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...


My new favorite song of the month! This song is so happy, I just couldn't resist. However, everything that Yael Naim does is oddly intriguing, and I LOVE it. Seriously, she made me like a Britney Spears song.
