I have found 2006's twin to Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone". Check out Hellgoodbye's "Here (In Your Arms)". Pop perfection. Like it makes you want to turn it up and loud and jump around. Not that I've done either. I did, however, do a dance in the chair here at the computer. This song is kind of the jam. Check it out.

They call me Zach Braff
This man gets all kinds of attention because he made a mix CD a hit soundtrack (see "Garden State"). I had to make a CD because I needed two songs on there for a class, so I took it upon myself to one-up Mr. Braff. Here is "Randomix 1":
1. Public Enemy - Fight The Power
2. Rocky Volotato - White Daisy Passing
3. Filter - Take A Picture
4. Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. - My Love
5. S.O.U.L.S.Y.S.T.E.M. - It's Gonna Be a Lovely Day
6. Aaliyah - Rock The Boat
7. John Mayer - Vultures
8. Mew - Special
9. World Party - What Does It Mean Now?
10. Babyshambles - The Man Who Came To Stay
11. Sound Team - Your Eyes Are Liars
12. Lenny Kravitz - Where Are We Runnin
13. Gisli - Straight To Hell
14. John Mellencamp - Hurts So Good
15. Coldplay - Low
16. Junior Boys - In The Morning
17. Beyonce - Green Light
Now, if that doesn't get the party jumpin, then you must not have a funky bone. Really, it's a bunch of songs I've listened to lately and/or wanted to listen to. Yeah!
* Edit - Turns out, this damn CD didn't even have the two songs on it that I needed! So I had to waste another CD to get them on there. Oh well. ¶ 11:40 PM 0 comments

Lost
I must say "Lost" is the MOST. INSANE. SHOW. EVER.
I cannot watch it before I go to bed because it is too stimulating. And it makes me want to keep watching more. So here it is, 3:17am and I've watched four episodes when I meant to only watch one. And I still don't know what happened!
This show could either go on forever or end soon. I want to know everything, like right now, but ABC wouldn't be too happy. Argh! To watch or go to sleep, that is not really the question.
Good night!

Girls Dem Suga
I am going to go ahead and admit it. I bought Danity Kane’s album. And I enjoy it, and I don’t really feel bad about it. Ok, I did feel bad about buying it. The lady at Target told me I was the fifth person to buy it since she had been there. I smiled, avoided eye contact, and tried to make up something about how it was a gift. I don’t know if it’s because the show was kind of compelling, or because the production on this album is pretty hott (Puff should’ve done better for Da Band, as their album sucked...or could it be that half of Brooklyn was a member of the group? Gah, there's like 27 people in there). Either way, the lyrics are stupid, but they can sing and Timbaland produced some tracks. Download it if you’re ashamed to go out and buy it.
In other music news, the new Justin Timberlake album is nice. I’ve been a fan of his since his first one (ok, and perhaps since NSync…their stuff is mad infectious, something I am weak to), so I was looking forward to this one. Despite his admissions of drug use and what not, it’s like Michael Jackson: whatever you do in your spare time does not make me listen to you differently. Timbaland does nearly all the production, save one track from Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas. I like Tim, but an entire album of his productions tend to sound the same (read monotonous), so the Will track is kind of a relief. I can only hear “Cry Me a River” so many times (I swear like three songs kinda sound like it on the new one). And I do miss the Neptunes this time around. Now this sounds like I don’t like the album, but I really do. For whatever reason, I don’t know if Justin will get my $10 his first week out. I cannot explain why I drove to like four different stores looking for DK’s album. Crack is wack. Anyway, check this one, too.
Simply as a cultural observation, is anybody else aware it’s Fashion Week in New York? I find it kind of interesting that what we’ll see at the mall (well, probably not, because I don’t normally have the Gucci store near anything with “old” or “navy” in the title) we're seeing like six months before. Now that I think about it, it does kind make sense. Anyway, it’s like a big deal, this fashion week thing. All kinds of folks are into it, and by all kinds I mean like Puff. It would be so cool to have his job. Anyway, it’s funny to read what folks say about the clothes and other people. I think I am feeding into all the celebrity-wannabe-itis that is plaguing America. Hey, I don’t read US Weekly, so I can’t be that bad.
I think I may be getting used to living here. It finally stopped raining, and it’s starting to cool off. I’ll be glad when it’s gets cooler though. Hot weather is cool (let me use this word for the 3,764 time) during like June or July, and then I kinda don’t like it much. So bring on the coolness.
Ah, I do not condone stealing, but I download mad music (if you read this, you know this). One more album I recently downloaded was the new John Mayer. It is really good. He doesn’t get the full kind of review as the other folks, but it’s equally worth checking out.
I don’t really know what else to say. So be safe, take care of each other. And eventually pay for music at some point!
In writing this, I had to add Timbaland, hott, and wack to Word’s dictionary. Apparently, Word is not as fly as Webster’s. ¶ 10:29 PM 0 comments
