music video spotlight

My mom found this guy - Steve Grand - and sent me this video. Everybody everywhere should watch it, and I know I'm late on this bandwagon but as a part of the LGBTQIA community it's important. It makes me feel really sad and just - ugh. Everyone hates rejection, no matter who it's from, so in that way, we're all kinda the same, right? And yet the comment hate (which is obviously going to happen, I'm not an idiot, but it's still not right or necessary) makes it different, or tries to.

Anyway, it's also an awesome video/song that tells a sweetly sad story. And it (thematically) reminds me of Bonnie McKee's American Girl, so that's always a good thing in my book.

music video friday ayy

I used to be really into music videos, but my love affair with cute vids didn't last through college. I just do NOT have enough time anymore.
 
But I'm really glad I turned on the TV to watch VH-1 while I "study" this morning - because I saw my new favorite music video ever. EVER. AND I know I pimp HAIM on this site all the time, but babes, you HAVE TO watch this. It'll make you smile. It'll make your heartbreak hurt less. It makes sense, and it makes me happy. SO WATCH NOW. It's funny too.
 

Haim - The Wire

The second video I have to share with you today is another Bonnie McKee gem, perfect for Halloween. I really like this chick, you guys - I hope I get to see her in concert, and that she gets some of the recognition she deserves. American Girl kind of flew under the radar, but it shouldn't have, because it was a damn good pop song - better than Call Me Maybe, in my opinion.

 

Watch away! HAPPY FRIDAY! 14 days til va-KATE-tion!

links to music stuff that i can't get over

I clearly love music. PS How did my hair do that??

 

Drunk Florence Welch Covers Daft Punk. This is hilarious and actually a really awesome performance (usually if the band/singer is inebriated the act sucks...like when Macklemore came to my school this spring and was baked, and me and my friends bounced after Thrift Shop and listened to the record of Can't Hold Us in their bomb-ass frat *).


Vampire Weekend's Cover of Blurred Lines. I can't get over it. Press play again, press play again. I think the original version of the song is kinda silly, but this is just so freakin awesome I can't. "You're the hottest fish in this place"


Bonnie McKee's Real Video for American Girl. SO MUCH COOLNESS IN THIS VID. Usually I don't like fluffly vids but this is a solid song, and the lyric video was killer, and Bonnie's bod looks awesome and kind of like my shape, and she wears so much Wildfox and it looks awesome, and her hair dye...omg. It's so killer. Ah. Love her. Also it may be the next Call Me Maybe. It's that catchy.


Icona Pop's New Single, All Night. Maybe it's just cause I'm seeing them with a best friend (J) in the fall, but I'm super-aware of Icona Pop's new stuff. I wanna be able to scream the lyrics to stuff during the concert (while jumping around...while not "all-there" WINK). REPLAY REPLAY REPLAY.


Babyshambles' All-New Hit, Nothing Comes to Nothing. I've been obsessed over putting this on my Spotify playlist for summer for EVER, but it doesn't come out for a while, so here's a link to the Soundcloud so you can jump into the mix with me.


Boston Calling, Boston's FIRST huge MUSIC FESTIVAL!! I'm SO EXCITED, and I'm DEFINITELY GOING even if I have to go by myself. So everyone should come and hang out with me, cause it's going to be SWEET, I promise (:

 *no links for macklemore because he sucks and I don't wanna promote him. you're welcome
