obsessed with this song. with the way he sings it. with the lyrics. with the guitar. everything is just so...guh. so much love i can't even articulate.

lyrics:

baby it's our hearts' slow beating
that make us grow old
i mean to say there's no one helping
we're digging our own hole

i'm reading your words
they're scrawled on the page
they lay here in silent rage
i'll hold you to this
for as long as i breathe
much more than whispers

if i ever found a one leaf clover
it would be you
wishing that such heights were lower
and nothing is new

citing your verse, it couldn't sound worse
the black recital i did rehearse
we all die alone, and as i'm clenching this phone
can't imagine a slowing hearse

how many times will i play the hero
how many lies before it's true
how many times will we clock out at zero
how many tries before we're through
how many lives till another you

the scars are slowly healing
the lips have regained feeling
the obstacles are kneeling
the final wax is sealing
the great white ships are sailing
the feet have left their railing
the four last hooves are hailing

how many times will i play the hero
how many lies before it's true
how many times will we clock out at zero
how many tries before we're through
how many lives till another you

baby it's our hearts' slow beating
that make us grow old
i mean to say there's no one helping
we're digging our own hole

my favorite part is the part i bolded. seriously, if you've never listened to a David Cook song before now, listen to this one. (camera work is a little shaky at first, but hang in there. it's totally worth it.)

for the record, i'm so over Snow Patrol songs being in EVERY SINGLE SHOW i watch. there is such a thing as oversaturation and Snow Patrol is fast approaching that, which isn't to say i don't love them. but, COME ON.

also? The Black Donnellys!!!



p.s. Aracade Fire FTW!

i've pimped The Format endlessly here and i'm pretty sure if you haven't checked them out by now, you probably won't. however, this video has made me smile more than once today and i would be remiss not to share it with all of you. whoever came up with this concept is a genius. i'm pretty sure my favorite part is the Bohemian Rhapsody tribute.

those who have seen the newest Doctor Who, ( click me for a question )

do not click the cut if you are not watching the current season airing in the UK!!

i'm not going to mention how much i love the VM fandom because really, it goes without saying. you guys are made of so much awesome it's not even funny.

the real reason i'm posting is to give those interested the setlist from the Common Ro show on friday night. i also have a couple of goodies that i'll put at the end of the post. i've been trying to wait on the guys to upload a song from that night to their myspace account, but they're slacking. (touring is hard. yeah...whatever. *g*)

i really don't think they played all of these, but since they were all new songs, i have no idea which ones were played and which ones weren't. this album definitely sounds like it's going to be more folk-y than The Big Fear. i liked everything i heard though.

( goodies are back here... )

there have been some posts on my flist recently that tout movies they've seen as the WORST. MOVIE. EVER!!! every time i see posts such as these i think to myself, "self, have these people seen Harvard Man?" in most cases i must conclude that no, it's not possible that they've seen Harvard Man and can still call any other movie the worst they've seen.

Harvard Man isn't even bad in such a way as one can mock it a la eirefaerie and dachelle. it's so bad i've done everything i can to brain bleach it. truly. so if you find yourself wanting to watch it even after this post, don't blame me.

with an un-pimp, i feel the need to pimp. do you know who Tina Majorino is? sure you do! when she was a wee little thing she was in such movies as Corrina, Corrina and Andre. these days she's all grown up and starring in such movies as Napoleon Dynamite and extremely awesome shows like Veronica Mars and Big Love. i'm not going to pimp her acting even though it's phenomenal. what i am going to pimp is her band, The AM Project. go give 'em a listen. she has a great voice, there are great harmonies, good hooks and a pretty wide range of appeal.

haven't posted in a few days. no reason really. just don't have much to say. still don't. the most exciting thing i have to report is that my Dr Who torrent only took 3 hours to finish. it's going to have to wait until later though. right now i'm off to wal-mart to return something and grab some ravioli for dinner. then i'm heading to the sister's place to finally get around to watching Jarhead.

Format fans, if you haven't already, sign up to be on their mailing list so you can listen to clips of the new songs and vote for what should be their first single. theformat.com.

and finally, hi and welcome to the new people i have on my flist thanks to the most recent VM friending meme.

the 20 18 cds i can't live without

( this is such a rough draft it's not even funny )

didn't go to work today. had the worst headache i've ever had in my life. seriously. i had to hold my head to even get out of bed and take excedrin.

ahhh...healthy VM debate. one of my very favorite things. thanks juleyah!!

also sharing some music with my brother in an attempt to get him to go see The Format in concert on sunday night. maybe we can make a sibling night and my sister and my brother go with me. *fingers crossed*

speaking of The Format, foxant10, i've come across a few more songs from them. i think i fall more in love the more i hear them. the song i'm listening to is an example. remind me later to share the wealth.


using this icon because V is listening to the interrogation tapes. not because i have a headache which is what my keywords suggest.

here's the deal. i'm not gonna cut this post because it's just my opinion on the singers/songs, but when the results stuff starts happening i will totally cut.

now. tonight was kinda meh for me. i think the girls have a hell of a lot more talent per capita than the boys. there are four stand-out boys for me.

Chris Daughtry rocked the fucking house with Wanted Dead or Alive. hothothot. seriously. Elliott Yamin? damn. i was not expecting that. a Stevie Wonder song and you nailed it, buddy. your's was the best performance of the night. Taylor, i like you. i like you a lot. i think you are an acquired taste though. you'll probably get fairly far, but i don't see you as AI material. go out and get your own recording deal, sweetie. Ace. oh Ace. you are so very pretty. you also have a nice voice, but i don't expect you to make it all the way. singing Father Figure? excellent song choice. very much fits with your style of singing.

David Radford, please get off my television screen. your crooning makes me want to jam my fingers into my ears until all i hear are my muffled whimpers.

Bucky Covington, you're awful. i'm fairly certain you were channeling Kurt Cobain in your performance tonight. please leave my tv screen.

Bobby Bennet, no. just...no. no one can sing Copacabana and be taken seriously as a competitor. i mean, really.

Sway, falsetto can be nice, but an entire song of it? for the love of god, NO!!! please be better next week. also? you were not one of the "hot ones" tonight. do not listen to Randy.

Gedeon, there's just something about you i don't like. loved your song choice though.

Kevin Covais, you're adorable, but you're not AI material.

Patrick Hall, awful song choice and i've pretty much forgotten you. bad move, my friend. bad move.

Will Makar, you're fucking adorable and i'm stealing you from puppetoflove. however, tonight's song choice did not show me the set of pipes that i know is lurking underneath there. please choose wisely next week.

to sum up, i think (hope!) David and Bobby will be gone out of this group. they just don't have it. i'm totally taking Chris, Will and Ace home with me.

everyone should go here and listen to the song Wow, I Can Be Sexual Too. also, if you know how to get the file so i can dl it to my ipod, i'd love you forever.

i love finding new music.

[edited to add]
denisef left a YSI link in the comments for the song for those interested.

they're calling for snow here tomorrow, which means it's unlikely that i'll be going to the CoRo show. yes, i'm a wuss who won't drive in snow unless i absolutely have to.

i got an email from ticketmaster this morning with all the upcoming concerts. i set that up because i don't listen to the radio anymore and didn't want to miss any good bands that were going to be here. guess who's coming... the format! they're one of the many bands i've fallen in love with thanks to VM. i must go!! who's gonna go with me?

now panic! at the disco just needs to come to town.
