does anyone know when the next Rooney album is coming out? my friend and i have been waiting forever! i keep listening to old stuff, hoping something new will jump into my ears. :(
EDIT// i bought the album! it's pretty good. i guess i just have to get used to it.

does anyone else love FutureSex/LoveSounds? i'm crazy for it, actually just recently i became crazy for it. my friend is obsessed with him. i wouldn't say i'm obsessed but the cd makes me oddly happy.

so what do 2 days out of school prompt me to do? write an entry on paris hilton, of course. now, i know everyone hates her and shit but i will admit that yesterday i had "nothing in this world" on repeat. granted, it has been over played but i couldn't give two shits. i love that song, i love watching reruns of the simple life, and her carefree attitude is pretty much something i wish i could pull off. and that song is crazy stuck in my head right now.

I don't know if it's just me… but every single song I've heard from Damien Rice has seriously taken my breath away. He is definitely one of my favorite artists, lyrically, vocally, instrumentally… everything is pretty much the closest you can get to perfect. Anyone agree?

PS. PANIC! at the disco just came on, and honestly, they are not bad. I was never too keen on them but… yeah. Of course they are no Damien Rice… duh.

If anyone knows any good songs in Spanish, please do tell. I have some Elvis Crespo, some Soraya (I'm thinking about deleting Soraya, though.. I don't like her much.), Shakira obviously, Thalia, Aventura… Just anything you know would suffice. =) I want to make a CD with a bunch of Spanish songs.
And as a sidenote, I'm trying to improve my Spanish. I haven't been doing well in AP this year. I want to expand my vocabulary and conjugate the verbs properly. (Like anyone even cares. =p)

My friend bought me Dog Problems for my birthday. I love it so much, and I suggest that everyone listen to it. First of all, the album case is amazinggg. It's a real looker. Second of all, every single song sounds completely different from the next. Everything on this album is different from what I'm used to from The Format. It was so great. And it wasn't just background music for me when I was listening to it while printing out my college applications. It seriously distracted me, in a good way. My ears were definitely perked. I know…

What are your favorite songs? I will be sure to download them. =) Need to fill up my iPod for those long free 2nd periods for the rest of the year, you know.

Just a short list of songs that have helped me cope with the past week and this one as well. Haven't been in the best of spirits lately. =(

Coldplay – Fix You
The Used – Buried Myself Alive
Imogen Heap – Hide & Seek
Mae – Goodbye, Goodnight
David Gray – This Year's Love
The Format – On Your Porch
The Contingency Plan – The Last of My Letters
Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti
Shakira – No

James Blunt…

It's really funny: In 7th & 8th grade I used to listen to mostly emo. (You know the deal–Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line, Alkaline Trio, The Rocket Summer, Dashboard Confessional, Further Seems Forever, The Juliana Theory, Matchbook Romance, Something Corporate, and all that other stuff…) Not to say that any of that stuff is bad, but it was pretty pathetic. Granted, I still listen to ALL of those bands today. I mean, I can't find it in me to give any of it up because…

Muse was just always one of those bands on my computer that I just heard once in a while when my player was on shuffle. Only recently have I actually started to listen to them, and I must say, I am taken. I mean, they are not just your average alternative band. They have a different sound & their lyrics are quite capturing. (it's holding me, morphing me, and forcing me to strive to be endlessly cold within; and dreaming i'm alive)
