Mood

Lately, I’ve been feeling feminine, close to nature, and passionate. I’ve been listening to Bjork and it matches my mood perfectly.

When did this turn into a music blog? I hate my blog so much right now. Real life is so much better.

Friday night I went with friends to sing karaoke. I’m actually only adding this to the post because I want to use the category tag “inappropriately drunk”. I drank many beers and a shot of jager. I started blurting out ridiculous little known facts about myself like:

“I’ll throw up if I eat any of that cake!” and “I don’t know how to dance!”

Those are the safe for work things that I said. But I had so, so, so much fun. Best times.

Crush

It’s official, I have a music crush on The Knife.

See them

Hear them

Muzak attack

Quick, name three of my “it” bands of the moment:

The Knife
Band of Horses
Beirut

Arm yourself with musical knowledge, friends. Download this mixtape mp3 called “Pretend You’re Me” for a sample of some of those artists. Sorry, there is no The Knife on this. Getting a hold of one of those mp3s is nearly impossible. But there is Modest Mouse, Mew, Heart, Nelly Furtado and others.
