In which it's fact not fiction

IT IS DECEMBER ALREADY. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Aside from, you know, the earth rotating around the sun. Hey, did you know that scientists reckon there's more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth? Mad, right?

In other news, the results of the honesty meme are in and word is, I'm fabulous.

Who knew?



Almost time to decide the albums of the year! What do you guys think, which've been the standouts for you?

Favourite tune this week: New Doomsdays - Mimicking Birds. It's from an album released earlier this year, but I only really listened to the lyrics last week and they're very good.

And here's a mix I made for lemniciate this week, nine songs that put a smile on my face.

Tracklist:

When Life Gives Me Lemons I Make Lemonade - The Boy Least Likely To
Brunettes Against Bubblegum Youth - The Brunettes
Love Shack - B-52's
National Express - The Divine Comedy
A Sweet Summer's Night On Hammer Hill - Jens Lekman
Jackie, Dressed In Cobras - The New Pornographers
Lay it Down - Peter Bjorn and John
I Turn My Camera On - Spoon
Ambling Alp - Yeasayer

Also, a favour, can someone upload the Pogues Streams of Whiskey if you have it please? Thank you in advance!

FINAL MERLIN IN A FEW DAYS. HOW HAS IT BEEN THIRTEEN WEEKS ALREADY? FUCK TIME, MAN.

Dude, SHUT UP, that is just depressing. Someone kill me now.

You liked Our Love To Admire more than this new one? Eh, I don't see it, I thought this one was an improvement. BUT YOU KNOW MORE THAN ME when it comes to all things Interpol.

Ohh, nice lyrics there, but I'm afraid I just can't get into her voice :(((

Heartland, yesss, excellent album, I had it playing the other night and I wrote like a champ.

Grrrls, that is no surprise coming from you. Would you ever admit if they made a bad album? Could such a thing ever exist?

Oh, you liked Gorillaz? I heard some not so good things and I was never enough of a fan to begin with to bother getting the album, but cool, cool.

I never got round to getting that Black Keys album actually, I think I was so disappointed with Blakroc at the end of last year, I was half protesting maybe? Warpaint's album was good, Foals were okay, but I didn't like Arctic Monkeys :( Weren't they last year anyway? My year's are all fuzzy.

You know, I might make a Christmas mix just for you.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SMART PLAN ACTUALLY.

I KNOW. aging is more depressing than death. ;_; I hope I go before I'm 30.

but that has nothing to do with anything! knowing Paul's birthday and how to cook spaghetti the Sam Fogarino way doesn't help. and yea, I like OLTA more..um, I dunno..it got a bigger emotional response from me? something like that..

EVERYONE SAYS THIS. I get it..but it's a sad thing. =/

YES! hahahaha there's a good chunk of grrrls songs I don't like/never really listen to. I have to be in the mood to listen to their first album because it's a bit noisy, and not in a good way..and their second album isn't great musically, but lyrically it's kind of overwhelming..most of their Christmas songs also SUCK. hahaha but what I do love I fucking love (i.e. ENTANGLEMENTS) so the blips of mediocrity don't really bother me.

mhmm mhmm. I loved it. I've only heard good things! haha I think some people said it was a bit inconsistent or something though? I dunno..you should give a spin if you ever want new musiks.

yea, Humbug was last year but I'm talking about that single..I guess it's sort of an EP, it had four songs. I loved Humbug though! it was so ~mysterious~.

=O =O =O =O EXCITING.

I'm sorry I talk so much. =X

But then you won't ever have the chance to get haemorrhoids and I know you're looking forward to that experience.

a bigger emotional response from me

You pretentious whore.

Ohh right, okay, did not know that, I just knew My Propeller was on Humbug and I didn't like it.

NEVER APOLOGISE FOR TALKING, YOU ARE SO FUCKING ENTERTAINING. IF YOU WERE IN MY RL, I WOULD MAKE YOU TELL ME BEDTIME STORIES. I'M NOT JOKING.

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

you're such a dick.

I just voted on some top of 2010 thing because grrrls told me to AND I REMEMBERED! PHANTOGRAM. do you listen to them?? YOU SHOULD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvSgLHWR16o oh my fuck, if God like..were to make a woman that physically embodied everything I found attractive, SHE WOULD LOOK EXACTLY LIKE SARAH.

oh and I'm loving this Jens song. IT'S PROBABLY GOING IN MY SWEDISH MIX. YAYYYYYY THANKS.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

Never heard of them but I listened to the vid and they're okay. Bit too electric for my tastes maybe?
I DON'T GET THAT SENTENCE. She doesn't need to look exactly like Sarah because Sarah already exists, therefore your ultimate woman already exists. Yes?

JENS. Jens is so fucking awesome, I have no words. My favourite Swede <3

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

oh boo! never mind then. it's all like that.
and yea..I guess you're right..I FEEL LIKE A MORON NOW, THANKS.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

But you're ~my moron~ <333

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

lmao @ that userpic. I kind of want to punch Bradley in the face......I guess I don't like him a little bit? =X

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

Boo hiss

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

IKR. I am despicable.
like, if we'd gone to school together, we'd be neighbors, right..and maybe sometimes we'd hang out and talk shit about other people, but we wouldn't hang out at school..and we'd talk shit about each other at school to other people. does that make sense? IDK. he's like a frenemy. that is how I feel about him.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

That is...very convoluted. Your feelings are so layered, man.

I THINK I HAVE COMPLETED YOUR CHRISTMAS MIX. Do you want it now?

Also, are you up really late?

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

OMGOMGOMG. HELLS YEA, DUDE.

yesness. I'm doing this thing for my sister and it's due tomorrow, or today? techinally. it's like, two questions but I keep getting distracted....THE INTERNET IS SO FUN.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

You don't have iTunes do you? So I'll have to convert the m4a's first, kk? It might take a little while, sorrow.

The Internet is fun?! WHO KNEW?

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

yea, I do! you don't have to convert. I always use VLC for m4a too, so..gimme gimme, pls+ty.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

Oh okay, sweet! Look at you, using iTunes, succumbing to the norm like one of the masses *shakes head*

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

hahaha I needed it to buy grrrls songs, okay? I only got it to support my pretentious listening habits.

kk that's cool. I'm halfway into this Kylie album, I need to finish it for my nasty dream.
CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT THE CHEESE, the cheesier the better IMO. eee!

ANGELA'S CHRISTMAS MIX OF AWESOME (http://www.mediafire.com/?7cibt36jkb9tett)

PS. I didn't put them in order, so, if you can be bothered, order them the way I lay out in the tracklist, it works better, trust me.

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

omgahhhhhhhh. downloading! I was going to listen before I go to sleep but I guess if I have to order things and junk, I'll just wait til tomorrow. THANK YOU. <3333333

let me leave you with one lame thought:
KM has this song "Looking For An Angel" yes? and I didn't really like it, but now I'm gonna like it real good. you know why? cause I'm going to pretend you wrote it and it was originally "Looking For An Angela" but KM changed it to "Angel". VINCA, OUT.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

You're an adorable and strange lady, never change.

<3

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

PS. Look what I just found on YouTube:

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

=O that was pretty fucking cool. the song went with the happenings really well, especially the beginning. I WANT TO PAT HARMONICA'S FACE SO MUCH. it looks so smooth.
I should probably listen to Arcade Fire sometime soon. =X

oh! I was looking at a gif tumblr and they had these creepies: http://iwdrm.tumblr.com/post/1390110761 // http://iwdrm.tumblr.com/post/1391365342 // http://iwdrm.tumblr.com/post/1399889832 I dunno, I thought you might enjoy them.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

UGH, how are you not into them, they're fab.

Oh my gosh, those are some awesome gifs, thanks for thinking of me <3
