As time ticks on, the more I like The Killers’ sophomore album Sam’s Town. The one song I believed I despised has turned out to be my favorite song of choice at this moment. It didn’t help that it had the word bling in the title.
Heading to Las Vegas
About to fly out of Cedar Rapids to head to Las Vegas for CES. I will post updates on the happenings here, but I am mainly working in conjunction with some of my friends who have gone the past few years.
Should be an exciting time. First convention I’m going to that I’m not manning a booth for. Better get some street cred!
Stop everything you are doing…
and watch this YouTube Video. This will make up for anything I’ve done wrong to you.
SIMH: Thanksgiving Day Edition
Welp….looks like I missed a couple weeks of Songs In My Head Thursdays. To make up for it, I decided to post the more impressive music video to date. Your mind will be blown. Your heart will soar. Your mind will be clear.
SIMH: “Wake up” by The Arcade Fire
My friend recommended that I put this song up, so I said why not? I glanced at another friend’s status a month ago expressing her disappointment in not discovering Arcade Fire sooner. Don’t make the same mistake.
My European Concept of Dating
I invite people and my friends to read this discussion on dating. It’s of a European asking Americans what dating means, because dating as Americans call it doesn’t really exist in Europe. I discovered this cultural gap while in Germany. We were at a concert for Maxïmo Park and the lead singer was explaining one of their songs, and referred to dating as an American term.
SIMH: “Take u to da movies” by BANGS
This song is, for the most part, awesome. I don’t need to explain why. For a little background, BANGS is a hip-hop artist from Sudan. That is literally all the information I can dig up. He has a few more songs, but this one takes the cake. This song lacks any and all sexual ambiguity but its poor attempt at boasting the opulence of the hip-hop lifestyle is hysterical. See that picture of the sweet car? It’s the first picture that shows up when you google “cadillac”.
SIMH: “Tony the Tiger” by Manchester Orchestra
Time for my usual Thursday segment. I am kind of last minute with this so I will save the introduction, please enjoy! This has quickly becoming one of my favorite bands.
