The awesomousity of life and the spectacular people in it all wrapped together in a little blog by a girl who has a little too much time on her hands...
Feeling a Bit Whimsical Today…
Finally bought new batteries for my old school CD player so I thought it best to bust out some Phoenix. I know what you’re thinking, “Why not just skip the countless trips to the 99c Only Store and simply buy the tracks on iTunes or listen to music online?” I tell you, I have completely logistical reasons why I even bother(not really). One: I lost my precious iPod awhile back and forgot my iTunes account password OTL so that pretty much strikes out that. Two: I already have a whole bunch of CDs that pile up in my room anyways, and it pains me so to not being able to use them regularly. (But hey, iPods are your era, CD players - with the huge sexy headphones - are mine)
(Is it just me, or does Thomas Mars always seem to be wearing the same shirt while preforming? ;D That, my friends, is called awesomeness right there…)I would like to thank Pandora for introducing such a lovely band along with many others (MGMT, Interpol, Modest Mouse… Just to name a few). Online radios aren’t necessarily my preferred way of listening to music, but I sure am grateful. Now whenever “Lisztomania” comes on the radio while driving to who-knows-where I can sing along knowing all the words and dance about in my seat like a deranged person! Thank you, online radios and Phoenix, for letting me look like a complete weirdo to anyone that happens to be looking out their car window. I really appreciate it. (Honestly… no sarcasm intended)
(Awh, Thomas isn’t wearing his blue shirt. Or maybe they just look similar? I shall never know… But aside from that, this is one classic picture. Stylishly running down towards the camera seems to be in fashion these days. Like in that one Last Dinosaurs music video I saw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV8dfyrD64c)But seriously, beautiful music. I just thrive for this lively pop-rock kind of stuff. Every time one of their songs plays, a new sense of energy just surges though me. I mean really, how could you not go through any one of their songs without dancing along? Impossible I tell you. The songs are so abstract and hard to describe. Surprisingly the songs sound just as good (possibly even better) even when preformed live. They seriously take control of their performance and are able to have it sound like there are two voices on top of each other, just like it does during any of the records. Amazing? I know…
