Bye March Madness

March is ending already? Boy, that was quick, eh? Time really does fly when you're not noticing. Don't really have much to say in this post, just felt like I haven't posted in a while. Anyways everyone should totally watch 30 Rock. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are undoubtedly funny.

Ta-ta for now poppets and as for you March, I'll be seeing you next year.

P.S : I love this picture. This young man claims he saw a UFO. He drew the picture to describe what he saw to the government. Enough said.

Adjustment Bureau

I love movie theaters and I also love watching movies in movie theaters. This is completely irrelevant to my what I'm about to say next.

First and foremost, if you don't love Emily Blunt, you're an idiot. Secondly, if you don't know who Emily Blunt is, you're an idiot who should be erased from the face of the earth. Just kidding... I recently just watched 2 movies that stars Emily Blunt as one of the main stars. 'Gnomeo and Juliet' and 'The Adjustment Bureau'. But here in this post, I do not wanna talk about Gnomeo and Juliet, maybe because it wasted 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back or maybe because it lacks moral judgement. Even though it does have an ensemble cast which is lead by James McAvoy. Yes, James McAvoy. Okay, where were we? Aah yes, The Adjustment Bureau. Let me ask you this, did you love Inception? Of course you did, you'd be completely out of your mind not to. So for the matter at hand, let's just say we all loved Inception. Rest assured, you'll love The Adjustment Bureau.
The gist of this movie is that for the last few centuries an "adjustment bureau" has been controlling our lives. They plan everything we do, know what we're thinking, but get this not because they're ming readers but because they know by statistics or some BS like that. Well here, they don't call it statistics, they have some fancy-schmancy name for it. Now, Matt Damon plays this congressman who has his whole life planned out for him until suddenly chance leads him to meet the girl of his dreams. But "chance" isn't in the adjustment bureau's plans so they can't let him be together with that girl. There's a whole lot more to it, they have magic doors and all. Interesting, right? I know. By the end of this movie, I can truly say that I think I've been "inceptionized" by an adjustment bureau through 'The Adjustment Bureau'. Get it? To add to that, this movie should be good for all you conspiracy-theory maniacs out there. It's just one of those movies that you know what's gonna happen at the end, but still super awesome.

Barney Stinson's Christmas List

Okay, it's official. I'm obsessed with How I Met Your Mother, Barney Stinson and NPH.

Listen here, darlings.

2011 is really starting out with a bang. I mean a musical one. Everyone loves music, it would be completely ridiculous not to. Here's a few record that I've been listening to lately.

W O U N D E D  R H Y M E S , L Y K K E  L I
Like Lykke Li's prior records, her mesmerizing voice draws focus to her songs. Not only her voice, but also the very eloquent and melodic hook. Mostly Wounded Rhymes is about tragedies, broken hearts and love...and well sexual intercourse in one or two song. Though her choice of lyrics in this album is a bit different from her previous albums, here she sounds a bit darker and gloomier. Also the lyrics are just a tad more deeper. But nonetheless, it's an easy listening record and very recommended. 




Z O N O S C O P E , C U T  C O P Y
If you have never heard of Cut Copy before, well you should.  Their electropop music and lyrics are sure to make you get up off your feet and move. But Zonoscope is sort of different if I might say so myself, compared to their last records. It's a bit more soulful than the last one and a bit less  jiggy. And may I mention that their cover art is awesome, definitely an eye catcher.









K A P U T T , D E S T R O Y E R
What can I say about Destroyer that hasn't already been said? I've fallen in love with them since I first heard Painter In Your Pocket. Dan Bejar's soothing voice combined with the melodious hooks in this record can put an angry lion to sleep. Kaputt doesn't sound much different than any other Destroyer albums. But this time there's just a brighter spark to this album. I literally can't stop listening to Kaputt.








U N D E R N E A T H  T H E  P I N E , T O R O  Y  M O I
I'll be honest Underneath The Pine is the first Toro Y Moi album that I've listened to. I mean I've heard of them before and I was always curious of what they sound liked, but I guess I didn't really get the time to look them up. Until now. So here's how you pronounce the name TORO-EE-MWAH, just in case you didn't know, cos I sure as hell didn't know at first. This record is very deep on their instruments. Lyrics well yeah they're their but believe you me, their harmonies will really make you listen.





So there you go, I was gonna put in Radiohead's latest, but I think everyone's heard enough comments about Thom Yorke and his lotus flower. Okay folks, I'm gonna get my brunch on. Ta-ta.

Mum, Ford and their Sons.

This morning I woke up to the smell of breakfast and rain. Cheese omelette with bacon and a perfect cup of cafe latte on a rainy Sunday morning. Sounds brilliant right? Because it is.

There is a downside to Sundays though, the fact that the next day is Monday.

Anyways, as you might know or not know, I am a film enthusiast. So after breakfast, I turned on my mac and watched an episode of British teen-dramedy 'Skins'. It just entered it's fifth season and I must say though not as good as the previous seasons, it still succeeds to entertain me. One of the things I love about this show are the music they use. A perfect mix of everything. 


Speaking of music, I've started listening to Mumford & Sons. I've known them for some time now, since I first played 'Little Lion Man' on Tap Tap Revenge 3 (thank you Apple and Steve Jobs). But I didn't really listened. So this time I did and I've got to say they're a big question mark. I mean Marcus Mumford does sound like someone I can't put my finger on and most of their songs have repetitive lyrics that always starts with And (sentence)....And (sentence B). Did I mention the songs in their debut album Sigh No More all sound alike and runs with the same story line? Heartbreak. Boo freakin hoo. I guess if you're heartbroken and-or a really sensitive loner they could work for you. Sine they do have all the cliche heartbreak lines and whatever. And I'll be honest before you call me a hypocrite, I might have tweeted a line from their song, but that was only because that line was literally what I was thinking. 


So Mumford & Sons is actually perfect for all those of you who's heartbroken, out of love and trying to suck as much melodramatic and melancholiness as you can. BUT and this is a HUGE but, can't believe they got to perform with Bob Dylan at the Grammys.

Okay that's it for the time being. Gotta go watch Booth and Brennan solve a murder case. Cheerio.
