The Shins - Phantom Limb
They played this song on SNL two weeks ago. Now I'm a huge fan.
The video is slightly annoying, but the song is awesome.

Young Love - Discotech
This is so cool. These guys should go on tour with Shiny Toy
Guns. This makes me want to dance.

The World Came Alive
I love Spring, and today is a sure sign that it's on it's way. During spring I get renewed energy, running is enjoyable again, and I have the insentive to work out, a trend that usually stays with me through the fall. Everything is so alive, everyone is always outdoors, and I don't feel so cooped up. I'm all for freedom and independence and Spring and Summer are the best times for both. Today when I ran, it was actually warm, and there were people all over the B&A trail, so, despite the fact that I ran alone, I didn't feel alone. This has been a good day; I've listened to good music and had nothing to worry about. The only way it could be any better is if I could hang out with my friends.

The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
This is my all-time fave. I love the electronic effects, and how they fit perfectly with the lyrics. The vid. isn't much to look at, but the
song... absolutely amazing

The Good and the Bad
So, this is for the people dying for an update.
Let's see, it starts out with the bad, well, the ugly in fact. On Mon. I got back a geometry test and it was a 50%, which is bad enough by it's self, but the fact that it was my first geo test below an A makes it even more frustrating, but whatever, there's nothing I can do about it. Things did get better though. I haven't had too much homework for the past two nights (I had a ton on Mon. though). OK, one more annoying thing. I'm one of the only ones not doing Lacrosse so none of my friends, except my cousin Gregg, can hang out after school. Anyway, last night's American Idol completely sucked, but I was really excited when Chris Sligh (who didn't really sound great, but who cares) sang a MuteMath song ("Typical"). Yeah that was cool. Today was awesome; the weather was perfect, and I actually wanted to run, so I put out 7 miles. We have Fri. off for the variety show, which is going to really good. Even though Rockbridge is small, there are a lot of really talented students there. You can buy tickets and get info at rockbridge.org. So that just about sums it up.
P.S. Please comment on music videos, i want to know what you think of my musical taste.

Earthsuit - One Time / MuteMath - Reset
Before you watch this, no, I'm not a fan of Earthsuit, but the rapper (Paul Meany, who sounds completely rediculous here) is the amazing singer from Mute Math, one of my all time favorite bands. I just wish they had picked one of the MuteMath songs that actually had lyrics.

Jonezetta - Get Ready (Hot Machette)
I timed this one just perfectly (the vid. takes place at a ski lodge)
Awesome song

Quick Update
I figured that I'd give my devoted readers (lol) a little update on my life in the past couple weeks. For a couple weeks I've been slacking in my running (blah!). I just finished a CD buying craze where I bought about 15 CDs in 2 weeks, but I got them on Amazon.com for really cheap. I went to a concert on Fri. (I posted on that earlier). It was really rough, but the last two bands (Self Against City, and Boys Like Girls) were awesome, and now I have a totally new perspective on personal space after being squished on all sides with hair in my mouth and all the other peculiarities of tight crowds that can be imagined (yeah, use your imagination). School's been OK. I've had a bunch of crappy conversations with a bunch of people that I don't want to talk to (ya know, the people who try to act cool, and expect you to want to hang out with them because they think they're cool), and some of the people that I actually want to talk to are always busy. I did have a good group conversation after school today though. Some of the good friends that I have at school are pretty awesome, and yes, they're preppy and that's cool. There's not much more to report, at least nothing that I'm willing to post here. I'm about to watch American Idol because I'm a dork, yep American Idol is dorky, but I watch it anyway (lol). g'nite

Officially Slightly Disappointed And Halfway Psyched
The concert date is barely more than a week away, and I've been feverishly planning for the past few days. None of the girls can come (CRAP!). Two of them are going skiing and the other one wasn't allowed to go, and she was really dissappointed. So now it's just gonna be the guys, that's me, Dana, Gilbert, and Gregg (basically the "cool" guys). We'll still have fun, but it's gonna be different. I guess we won't have to worry about rough crowds as much.

I have a bunch of friends from school who really want to go. Carrie, Gilbert, Natalie have heard Boys Like Girls and really like their music, are definite yes's if they are allowed to go, and Caroline Gregg and Dana, wo still haven't heard anything from the band will want to go just because we're getting a group together even if they don't like the music.

Break the Same (percussion ending) - MuteMath
MuteMath is one of the coolest bands I know, I saw them in concert with Switchfoot and they did this same percussion at the end of "Break the Same," except they did it better at the Baltiomore concert, and it's even cooler when you're there.

blah
The whole post-christmas thing is really boring, I don't want to go back to school, but I do want to see my friends from school. I was kinda sick today, so all I did was sleep all day, and that wasn't cool. My dad isn't gonna let me go to the Jack's Mannequin concert, but maybe I'll be able to go the The Red Jumsuit Apparattus' concert. I haven't gone running in a while, and I really need to do that. Yeah and we're probably not gonna be at church tomorrow. I'm really bored and tired, but not sleepy.
This song is really pretty, you should download it
Fire on the hill
Fire in me still
I feel out of my league
But you turn around and you say to me that
I love everybody here
And I agree
I love everybody here
Sun has long gone out
Sun comes up like it's been about a year
I don't mind if we
Drink again my friend
'cause there is so much left to say
There is so much left to say
There is so much left to say
There is so much left to say
People for miles, opening up
People for miles, in focus and not
We'd be ok if
We had answers to questions in rhymes and in reasons
You leave it to me to be all of four seasons
You say I love everybody here
And I agree
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
Life is beautiful for sure
'cause I love everybody here
Athlete - I love
