Music

Dear Reader,

Ever have one of those nights where you really don't want to do work, but you have to?
...No?
...So it's only me?
........Damn.

Anyway, I'm taking a break to list some songs that I'm listening to right now.

"Another Way to Die" by Jack White/Alicia Keys - This song is intense. I love it. Madonna's theme for the 2000 Bond movie doesn't come close to comparing to this song. I'm listening to Casino Royale's theme right now, but "Another Way to Die" is still the best that I've heard.

"Womanizer" by Britney Spears - I don't take this song seriously. It's just extremely catchy, and great to sing to your roommate when she's being annoying. Ridiculous lyrics, though: "Boy don't try to front I I know just just what you are are are...Womanizer (repeats)" God damn. She's an original lady, Ms. Britney.

"You Wouldn't Like Me" by Tegan and Sara - It just describes the angsty way I feel sometimes. I've only been getting into Tegan and Sara recently, for some stupid reason. When I'm finding it hard to believe that I have people who love me, I think of this song. If I had heard it my junior/senior years of high school, it probably would have been an accurate description of how I felt most of the time. But it's a hopeful song, after everything: "Don't you worry, there's still time."

"Cardigan Weather," "Roses," "Monster," and "Nineteen Stars" by Meg & Dia - I've loved their album since the moment I bought my junior (?) year of high school. I was proud of myself for buying the CD of a relatively unknown band. I swear that's not the only reason I like this album; a lot of the lyrics are based on literature and I love the sound.

Well, getting back to homework now. This is too much stalling.
