The following are triple threats; the music videos are ace, the people are groovy and the music itself is absolutely amazing.
If you're looking for some new and different songs - go for these!
Metronomy - The Look (all of their videos are fantastic)
Metronomy - A Thing For Me (couldn't resist - best video ever).
1. Taylor Swift is playing in my city this week.
My friend Brainsy (who is a tween at heart) says that she has tickets in the mosh pit. I have to say I can't imagine anything worse or more bizarre than a mosh pit at Taylor Swift: three hundred teen girls crying and screaming "You're right Taylor! Men are pigs! When you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you gotta believe them!...." (disintegrate into hysteria/prepubescence).
2. Couples are erupting all around me.
Like spring blossoms. Or genital warts.
3. The 'RANDOM' button on my iPod is severely trolling me.
It instead plays songs exclusively
a) by John Mayer,
b) from Moulin Rouge/Titanic,
c) entitled The Girl (City in Colour), How Can I Say I Love You (Girls), True Love (Angels and Airwaves), Do You Believe In Love (Huey Lewis & the News) etc, etc.
4. People like Mila Kunis and Rachel McAdams are cropping up everywhere...
flaunting their adoration of [insert attractive yet startlingly dim male here]'s abs and skinny thighs.
5. Being forced to read Cymbeline,
a play so far consisting of a chick called Innogen (which sounds like some kind of vague hallucinogenic) whining because her husband has been banished (how she loves him SO!) and the bitches are flocking to her, so to speak, but she isn't interested because her heart has been trussed up like a turkey and stuffed in the backpack of her beloved. She also gave him a diamond ring. Because she has that shit to give away.
If you are single, read on. If you are in an adorable couple, stop here. You are happy enough and do not need to be amused by hilarious videos I have found.
You're welcome.
Also, I saw Mary Poppins the musical. It was awesome. Now wish to discard hopes of becoming a doctor and instead be a magical chimney sweep.
