So I wanted to post some Pink Floyd tonight but I haven't yet found the song I want to post, so I was looking for something to post and my brother showed me this video that I think should be on Dylan's blog it cracked me up for some reason! It's not music but it's awesome!  These guys apparently do so many of these funny videos, but these two are my favorite so far.

So last time I posted a Pixies song and Elkin gave me a suggestion to check out Teenager of the Year, Frank Black's solo album.  I did and it was great!! Totally cool music and I loved how long it was because then I could listen to more awesomeness.  If you didn't know, Frank Black used to be the lead vocalist and one of the guitarists for the Pixies; he had the stage name Black Francis then.  His real name is Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV.  I can understand why he chose a short succinct stage name!  I like Teenager of the Year because its so different from the Pixies songs I have heard, but so to my liking as well (I like a very wide range of music).  One of my favorite songs from the album is Fiddle Riddle, partly because it seems to have a sort of reggae-ish influence, and I like reggae as well!

The Pixies are an American alternative rock band, but they were more successful in the United Kingdom and Europe.  They are one of my favorite bands!  The offbeat subject matter of their songs and the way in which they are sung and presented just draws me in I guess.  Also... one of my favorite movies is Fight Club. Aaaand in the end of Fight Club, Where Is My Mind by the Pixies is played!  When I heard one of my favorite songs at the end of such an awesome movie I was very excited.  Especially since the song fit the scene PERFECTLY! So I will post Where Is My Mind, because it is truly a awesomazing song.

I don't know if you can believe it, but I hadn't seen Rocky Horror Picture Show until about 6 months ago! I knew about it and wanted to see it, but never got around to it until my brother Sol had me sit down and watch it with him (its one of his favorite movies).  From the moment the mouth came on screen and started singing during the opening credits, I loved it!  Tim Curry is absolutely fabulous, as is everyone else.  But what I like the most about it is the amazing soundtrack.  So that is why I am posting one of the songs, so that you too can enjoy the awesomazing-ness as well...

I don't know which one to post though... a more popular one? Or...? They're all good!  One that has been stuck in my head is Touch Me and yes, I have been walking around school singing it aloud, but fortunately I go to a school that appreciates awesomazing-ness, so that's not a problem... So here's Touch Me!

Look up the whole soundtrack though!!! And watch the movie!

Concert

Last night I went to this awesome amazing concert in my town featuring Zion I, The Grouch and Eligh, Amp Live, DJ Fresh, and others.  It was one of the best concerts i have been to, no room, I was up against the stage the whole time, it was really personable and just such an amazing experience!  The genre of music was conscious rap, sort of hip hoppy and fun.  So I'm going to post a song by Eligh, who was the one I first listened to before I got introduced to The Grouch and Zion I and such (they all kind of work together).  The song is called Angel of Death



Ok I just couldn't resist posting Miss Bisdriver (Rachel) too!

So I have been listening to The Rolling Stones a lot lately, and just rediscovering how much I like them!! I was trying to figure out what song of theirs to post.... it was really hard... but I chose You Can't Always Get What You Want because its just such an awesome song!  I just love the intro for some reason, it just seems kind of Rocky Horror Picture Show-esque... but I love so many of them! Wild Horses, So Cold, Satisfaction, Paint it Black, etc etc etc!
But here's You Can't Always Get What You Want :)
Enjoy
