Ida Maria- Keep Me Warm



Rarely do songs inspire change especially when it comes to addictions. Ida Maria's song "Keep Me Warm" is about putting down the bottle and really evaluating why you're drinking.
Drinking to forget about someone, smoking ciggarettes and drinking coffee to forget about drinking. The game of forgetfullness can run you ragged.

Metric "Gimme Sympathy"-Acoustic LOVE

Metric is well known for opening for the monster of a band Muse (which I have shamelessly seen in concert twice). What is particularly spectacular about this band is they are creative and "weird"but without having to dress up their lead singer like a barbie doll (cue any female artist).They are sincerly talented and don't have to wear costumes to prove it.


Acoustic LOVE: Each week prepare to have you mind blown by an acoustic rendetion of a song you may or may not know.

November Love-scope, Aries Style

Aries November Love-Scope

Addiction to Horoscope.com is easy. They have all of the anwsers, they even have free tarot card readings! Okay you caught me I may be delusional but here is how it works I am going to copy and paste my "love-scope" for the month of November and then I am going to show you how I relate it to my life.

Orginal Version
November 2 is especially sensual as Neptune, the planet of rose-colored glasses, clouds your perception and doesn't let up all month. The November 10 Full Moon could find you and your partner a bit more possessive about one another than usual. It will be hard not to want to sequester yourselves away on November 25 and indulge in a day (or night) of hot romance. The month goes out like a lion as retrograde Mercury and a Solar Eclipse (November 25) fall in the house of "let's make this legal." The two of you may plan a journey to do just that.
My Version
On November 2 you are so Getting Jiggy With It! Girl, it is going to be awesome let me tell you, and the awesome-ness will not let up all month. On November 10 you are going to Go Crazy In Love. This will lead to the realization that this might be the real deal. You have to protect your man from surrounding skanks. On November 25 you are going to Get Low and have some sweet sweet romance, wine, aspargus, the whole sha-bang. HOLY SHIT, he might even want to Marry You. In all the excitement you will start to make future plans and it is gonna be slammin!

The Drums- "Let's Go Surfing"

Remniscent of 80's punk (think The Dead Milkmen) The Drums stir up the indie pot and spike the mix with the jingle jangle of beach infused laziness, a mind numbingly catchy chorus, and an upbeat attitude with this track. Lead Singer Jonathan Pierce said in an interview, "We got really inspired by those girl group sounds of the fifties and sixties...I think the more you can simplify something, the stronger it gets and the more true the message is." 'Lets Go Surfing' is the perfect example of this with lyrics "Oh Mama/I wanna go surfing/Oh mama/I don't care about nothing."

Random Websurfing led me to: Celebrity Face Recognition Generators

The Celebrity Generators refused to match me with Joan Jett but what do you think do I look anything like Hayden? If I did I feel like more people would hit on me, just saying.
Sometimes I wish I was a rock star........


The Wavves "No Hope Kids"

Taking your life putting it in a little jar and looking at it from the outside might have allowed these punk rockers to realize, "Got no car/Got no money...Got no God/Got no girlfriend."
The song is a puddle of distoration caked with a dry voice. The lyrics speak to the unhappy truth people are always faced with, doubt.
