This blog is composed of the randomness that makes up my brain. It's made up of my thoughts, interests, views, and experiences. I post a LOT about music. It wasn't necessarily my intention when I started posting in this blog to have so many posts pertaining to music, it just kind of turned out that way because music happens to be something I'm passionate about and something I can always turn to when life sucks. I'm going to try to write more about some of my other passions too (human rights, social justice and politics). I like to know if people are actually reading this so feel free to leave comments... even if I don't know you, I'd like to hear from you. I always like to make new friends anyway :)

I <3 this...

So I know I post a lot about music, but I here's another post dedicated to music lol. I absolutely love the Killers music. I say their music because they don't exactly seem like people I'd want to chill with but they make some awesome tunes. My favorite song of theirs is "All These Things That I've Done"... It's one of my favorite songs ever. It was stuck in my head for days after my first listen. The video for the song was kind interesting too...



They released a new album at the end of last year called "Day and Age". I really like this album. Some of my favorite tracks off the album are "Human" (also the first single), Dustland Fairytale, and Neon Tiger, among others. Another cool album of theirs to check out is "Sawdust" which is an album of B-sides, remixes, and stuff like that. Some of my favorite Killers songs are from that album.

Just thought I'd share what popped in my head at the moment...

Also, as a side note: they (the band) have been rocking these hideous 'staches lately. The drummer seriously looks like the guy from My Name Is Earl. Brandon (lead singer) has also been wearing this military-style jacket with these feathered shoulders. It is UGLY but it is apparently a very high fashion designer piece that people have been raving about. Spin magazine even named him the best dressed male musician of 2008. I definitely beg to differ.

**EDIT** lol
They also did an AMAZING cover of the Dire Straits song "Romeo and Juliet" that I found a video of. This cover is also on the "Sawdust" album. I'm only midly familiar with Dire Straits so I don't know who in the band is the main lyricist but I LOVE the lyrics to this song. Like "Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry.You said, 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'.There's a place for us, you know the movie song.When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"; and "I can't do the talks, like the talk on TVAnd I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you. I can't do anything, except be in love with you"... those are my favorite lyrics but lyrically I pretty much love the whole song. I always puts a little smile on my face when I listen to it.
