coldplay & annie

Coldplay is one of my favorite bands and you cannot believe how excited I was to download their new single (for free!). My first thought was 'Wow, "Violet Hill" is very powerful', but once the songs winds down it's somewhat disappointing because it really mellows to the end, but it doesn't feel like an ending? I like it though--I really do! The lyrics are pretty much amazing too.

You should definitely check it out by visiting Coldplay.com and downloading it for yourself.

Also, remember a few years ago when we were all dancing around to Annie's Heartbeat? She's back and even better. Her new song I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me is super fantastic and I can't wait for an mp3 of it so I can dance around to it whenever. Check out the video:


You can also check out Annie on myspace!

So, that's my music gushing for today! xx

Kate Nash!

So, Tuesday night I saw Kate Nash at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta and it was fucking amazing! She is so so adorable and her band is so cute. I really had an amazing time--she puts on a great show. Standing in front row, I have decided, is the best way to see a gig. The audio was a bit messed up on the first two songs, so we really couldn't hear her singing, but I had actually walked by the venue earlier in the evening and heard a bit of her doing Pumpkin Soup which was pretty awesome too.

Set list (according to, well, a set list):
Pumpkin Soup
Shit Song
Stitching Leggings
We Get On
Birds
Nicest Thing
Seagulls
Dickhead
Pick Pocket
Paris
Skeleton Song
Mariella
Mouthwash
Foundations

Don't you want to share the guilt
Punk Song
Merry Happy


Anyways, I had an incredible time! And would totally go see her again because she seriously is so amazing. I also, met a couple of cool people who were also charmed by Kate's Britishness of having tea underneath her keyboard!

some things

So, today I received the BEST. NEWS. EVER!!! I have been accepted to my study abroad program which means I'll be going to England in September! Loves it!

Besides my total excitement about that, I've been watching a lot of television and thought I would blog about that.

This past season of Torchwood has been a disappointment. While it had its moments, on the whole, I was not impressed and am probably not going to continue watching it if it gets picked up for a third series. I didn't like James Marsters guesting on it and I didn't think Freema Agyeman was used to her full potential (which is saying something because I don't like Martha Jones.) And Gwen is beyond annoying. She's my least favorite character. I enjoyed having more Andy Davidson though--PC Andy is beyond awesome. I really was just frustrated with the whole series--after this one, I've pretty much have decided I still love Ianto Jones, but Owen Harper is my new favorite character which is beyond tragic. Also, there was not enough Tosh--there never is. I adore John Barrowman, but nothing comes to mind about Captain Jack Harkness except for that gorgeous snogging with Ianto.

Since Torchwood was an utter loss, I was sort of not holding my breath about Doctor Who, but OMG, the first episode was so freaking awesome!!! The aliens were kind of gross in regards to their inception, but they were cute. And Donna definitely won me over. And I can't believe they teased us with Rose so early in the season! I seriously can't wait for this week's episode! Pompeii! Dude, how awesome!

Besides my British sci-fi, I have taken quite a liking to Top Gear. A car show? What? Yeah. It's awesome. The presenters are funny and I really am quite amused by it all! I like having something to watch.

So, yeah, TV is fun.

Also, a friend of mine pointed muxtape out to me. It's brill--a mixtape on the internet. Down side is that technically you can only register one account--I haven't bothered trying to get another with a different email addy, but it's still quite cool. Mine can be found here.

Last note is my latest procrastination method: Chain Factor. It's a super fun game and quite addictive--it even requires a little bit of thought. Good times!

So, that's it for now! xx
