also...

on the music front.
brand new has got a new cd scheduled for release on september 22, 2009.

theyve put out a new single, "at the bottom", which sounds totally different from any of the songs on their other three cds. its pretty exciting to hear them change musically, though.
each cd has a different, yet recognizable sound.
regardless of my changing music tastes and dwindling appreciation for most music similar to brand new, they will always be one of my favorites.

ive got too many memories to let them go completely.

anyway, the cd was leaked, but theres a lot of difficulty actually downloading the entire thing.
"at the bottom" is here:

pretty lights

so last night i went to a pretty lights show at the national.
at first, i was not planning on going because the tickets cost twenty dollars and i have absolutely no extra cash.
but all of my friends wanted me there and surprised me by buying me a ticket at the last minute. which was the most awesome thing theyve done for me in a while.

we got to the show and long, a dj that most people in richmond know personally, opened for him. which was pretty cool. he played a good set and its cool to see him getting some serious recognition.
anyway, when pretty lights came on the show turned into a huge mass of sweaty bodies dancing all over the place.
their music sounded like a mix between girl talk mashups but with more electronic sound effects.

i have to admit,though, i like pretty lights more than girl talk. in comparison, girl talk is more mainstream in the songs that he chooses to sample.
the dj in pretty lights uses less lyrics and more electro, dance-type clips, which makes it sound more original and unique.

regardless, they put on an awesome show. it was a nice weekend break from the anxiety ive been giving from school and schoolwork.

man!

every time that i get close to being interested in a person or attempting to pursue a relationship, he does something that just completely ruins it.
i mean, why do guys feel the need to show interest in girls and then just immediatly decide to stop acting that way?
if he did, in fact, intend on nothing more than a friendship then why bother acting like something more than a friend?

maybe its just me that this happens to.
its perhaps the most frustrating situation of all time.
