Random stuff

Ok, this will be pretty random but I've got a few things to comment on/recommend.

First of all, you should definitely check out Pink is the New Blog if you like snarky celebrity gossip. Hilarious site, great waste of time.

I'm pretty late on this one, but even though I've had "Hot Fuss" by The Killers for ages, and I've had "Mr. Brightside" and "Somebody told Me" on my iPod since last year, I've only just actually been listening to the whole album. I quite like it, (yeah, yeah, I know, who cares, it's already been reviewed as a good album, won awards etc) but if you're holding out for whatever reason, you should go to iTunes and download it. (on a side note, we know my love for certain guys wearing eyeliner and let me just add, Brandon Flowers can pull it off). I really like "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine," "Smile Like You Mean It," "All These Things That I've Done," and "Andy, You're a Star".

Ok, um, also got the Kaiser Chiefs album "Employment" which I first came across when I was in England. I'd wager that they're going to become quite big here once more word gets round 'bout them (course, maybe word has gotten round and I'm just out of the loop since I refuse to listen to the rather crappy radio stations we have and listen to London radio instead). A few songs I'd particularly recommend: "Modern Way", "Everyday I Love You Less and Less" and "Oh My God".

Er, what else...Vaux "Are You With Me" is a good song. Totally different sort of thing from The Killers or Kaiser Chiefs. I also recommend The Subways "No Goodbyes" and The Tears "Refugees". Also, if you didn't take my recommendation on The Stone Roses "I Wanna Be Adored" go listen to it! Go listen to the Doves! Go listen to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's "The Weight of the World! If you haven't heard "The Importance of Being Idle" off the most recent Oasis album, download it! It's weird but quite catchy (another one I brough back from England) Yay for britpop!

Continuing on the all-things-British (or close) thread: very excited by the fact that a H & M will be opening in Ann Arbor this spring. Now we just need a Lush and I'll be in heaven.

Thinking of heading out to DC for a weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I've got a bunch of people I miss pretty badly and I think a weekend away would be very good for me:) Of course I also miss going out to Adams Morgan, DuPont Circle, Georgetown and Chinatown. I don't miss Brookland at all though and I can't say I really miss CUA. Anywho, once I get the go ahead from my best bud down there for the weekend I've been thinking about, I'm there. Pretty psyched at the idea.

Well, that's about all the news that's fit to print for now. Work is dragging by dreadfully slowly today, so glad it's Friday!
Ciao,
