She Wolf - Shakira

I am simultaneously aroused and terrified. I'm not entirely sure whether this is a good or bad thing, but it's probably the appropriate response.

Starstrukk - 3OH!3 featuring Katy Perry

I was going to start off by saying I can't believe I've never heard this song before, but it's actually pretty believable. For all that I do think 3OH!3 are a swell band, I just don't like techno-y trance music all that much. It's entirely possible I have heard this song before and just didn't notice. So, yeah. But I do happen to like this song. Mostly because I'm a sucker for wolf whistling. And, don't hate me again, but Katy Perry. I do heart me some Katy.

I blame my mother. She started me off young on the pop music and I have never totally kicked it, to be perfectly honest. It's like sugar for your ears. Sweet addictive sugar. There are no AA type meetings to kick this addiction. I'm sorry. At least I mostly limit myself to Katy Perry. Maybe some Gaga. Usually when I'm drunk.

Rise of the Lyric Video

This is random, but I've just recently noticed this thing artists seem to be doing lately. You know it if you have access to YouTube at all. The Lyric Video appears to be an official sort of thing artists are releasing prior to an actual music video. For a while I just thought it was some youtubers dicking around more skillfully, but then a light bulb went on inside my head and I noticed that, no, the labels are actually doing this.

Hey, I never said I was the brightest or the quickest light bulb. I'm more of an old fluorescent...I'm just going to stop there. I am horrible with metaphors.

Anyway, what I mean to say is...I like them. I am happy about this new direction. Mostly because I am obsessed with lyrics. So yeah. Yay and stuffs. Here are a few of my favorite lyric videos:)

Madness - Muse

Madness is a song from Muses' new album The 2nd Law. Thanks to one of Sammi's friends, I found out they had a new album. And I found this song. It is soooo sexxxy. Interesting word to describe a song? Maybe, but seriously, listen to the beat. It pulses. It is impossible for me to not move my body. And obviously Matt's voice is just as gorgeous as it has always been. Too bad about that face.

Something about the beat and harmonies also reminds me of...I'm thinking something Queen. Can't quite put my finger on it though. I Want To Break Free? Maybe it just feels like Queen. Which, honestly, is never a bad thing. Everybody should channel a little Freddie. Possibly it's the crazy amount of synths making me think about Queen. I dunno, I'm crazy. It's madness I tell you! MADNESS!

But seriously, it's going to drive me crazy trying to figure out what this song reminds me of.

Might as well dance!

5 Years Time - Noah and the Whale

This song always puts me in the best mood. 5 Years Time is like the most joyful little daydream, but how could anything with a ukulele and whistling not be? Lyrically, it is only slightly more complex. Basically he's giving a bunch of happy examples of what he and his lady could be in 5 years, and then a couple not so happy ones. He explains this is all in his head, but the thoughts still make him happy. Even if in 5 years time they no longer know each other, he knows love will follow her. Who hasn't made up scenarios in their head of their future with or without someone? I know I do pretty constantly.

How could I not love this song?

Patton Oswalt

So Netflix just recommended I watch Comedians of Comedy: Live at the Troubador, and I am so glad I did. I needed some funny in my life right now. In any case it renewed my love for Patton Oswalt. This man is super funny. I basically agree with everything he says. And he reminds me of one of my friends a little bit.

Also he was recently in Young Adult, which is a movie I'm a little in love with currently, and United States of Tara which is da bomb. Oddly enough, those are both products of Diablo Cody's genius. Which is probably why I like them.

This bit, Sky Cake, is from one of his stand-ups, and should not be watched if you are overly religious/lack the ability to laugh at religion. That's about it. Okay, well, also this clip of Food For Thought, which as an ex-grocery store slave kind of tickled my fancy. Yeah, and I'd probably let Blaine Capatch tickle any and every fancy. That made no sense. *cough*

Dancing With Myself - Nouvelle Vague

A cover of Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" by Nouvelle Vague. This is so me. Because I am a total dork.

The Cigarette Duet - Princess Chelsea

This song makes me want a cigarette. Princess Chelsea is another band I'm pretty sure Pandora recommended to me. I love this song and feel it does a pretty good job of conveying the problems of relations between a smoker and a non-smoker. What is more important: love or nicotine? The age old question. Many of my friends have given up smoking for loved ones. I guess I just date smokers, kinda fixes that problem. In the event that I fall madly in love with a non-smoker...well, fuck. I suppose I would stop. Maybe.

Jennifer Westfeldt

Jennifer Westfeldt has got to be one of my favorite famous people. I first saw her  in Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place, which aside from being a mouthful, is also the first time I saw Ryan Reynolds in anything. She then went on to co-write/produce/star in Kissing Jessica Stein, one of my all-time favorite movies about two straight girl being in a lesbian relationship. Then just recently I watched Ira & Abby, a super cute movie in which she also starred/wrote/produced. A couple months ago, to yet again be thrilled by her awesomeness I rented Friends With Kids and found it to be beyond my expectations. And guess what? She wrote/produced/directed/starred in that one as well. Lady may not be as famous as Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston...but she is far above them in my book.

Also, she's been in a relationship with Jon Hamm (aka. Fucking DON DRAPER) since 1997. This woman is my idol.

John Dies at the End - David Wong

John Dies at the End is a personal favorite of mine and has been since I  first read it online one incredibly boring winter (possibly in 2007?). I hate reading books via any digital device, but I persevered for this story. I could not stop. No matter how much eyestrain resulted, IT WAS WORTH IT. Not everybody will love this book, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that if you are a worthwhile human being, you will. It is one huge mindfuck dick joke that still manages to be brilliant. And a little creepy.

The best part is that it became available in print. Buy it. It's no longer available to read on a shitty white on black website. I own it, there's no shame in buying a book. David Wong aka. Jason Pargin, Senior Editor of Cracked.com wrote it, so obviously it's funny. Funny is good for you.

Anyway, double awesome is the fact that it's now a movie! I am pants-shittingly excited to see it.

Here's the trailer:

And the fun doesn't stop there, no siree bub! The sequel This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously Dude, Don't Touch It is out October 2!!! So I guess what I'm saying here is that I'm basically just buying new underwear a lot b/c of all the shitting. Join me in the fun.
