Damn BBC

Took my videos down. I need to lead a revolt. They took away Robin Hood, they killed Ianto, and now they denied me The Libertines. REVOLT! REVOLT! Stupid BBC, well I have a message for you! You can't treat us like we don't exist.




(I am actually more annoyed than this post might indicate. But I can't help it when it comes to the Newsies. I'm going to be late to class for posting this, but it'll be worth it to be singing this song for the next week.)

Oh Sweet Youtube

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Number one: You don't have area restrictions on your content due to me not living in the UK. Need I say more?

And now, please let me present to you a little sampling of:
THE LIBERTINES READINGS PERFORMANCE, 2010.

Horrorshow. Can you understand the lyrics? Not really. Does it matter? Not really!

BBC Angst

I have had the Reading and Leeds festival marked on my calender since April. This is the festival that The Libertines are reforming at. And what happens when the date FINALLY comes around? The stupid BBC site won't work. Because I don't live in the UK. Oh, sure, it works for about a dozen OTHER bands, for about three songs, but it won't play the full set of any one band, unless you are watching BBC Three. And BBC won't work. I want to cry. The Libertines are quite possibly one of my very favorite bands. I have both of their cds, imported from the UK, I have about 100 songs that are JUST demos, live performances, bootlegs, and unreleased tracks. Not only that but I have both Babyshambles records bought, along with Pete Doherty's solo album. I also have Carl Barat's compilation mixed cd, and plan to get his solo album. I also bought two shirts. I LOVE this band. I know the secrets and gossip and history of them. AND ALL I WAS ASKING was to see their reformation gig. I don't think this is too much to ask for, ESPECIALLY because it is being broadcast onto television there. It isn't like a little festival that doesn't have enormous cameras and cranes and publicity. Blah. I'm going to go eat a lot of Nutella and probably ignore my homework even more.

Poopy

I am so drained. It is only the third day of school and I want to sleep for a whole week. I thought I was prepared for school again, but I'm not. I want summer back. I don't want homework. I don't want to be on campus for a stupid ten hours tomorrow. I don't want to read 80 pages of geography homework plus whatever will be assigned tomorrow. I don't want to do three entire math assignments every other day. I don't want to paint and be frustrated that I can't get the colors mixed just right. I don't want to be a responsible student!!!

Ocean Breathes Salty



I have sort of been slacking on posting anything for a while. This is the last day of summer. I am welcoming the structure. However I can't help but feel some stress and anxiety. I feel like I wasted a lot of the summer. It sneaked past pretty quickly. These are the times that I feel sort of pathetic. I don't ever accomplish as much as I want during the summer. -sigh- Hopefully I can pull myself together during the school year and accomplish the things I should have this summer.
Ah, well. I decided to go with one of my favorite songs and favorite music videos.

We Are Scientists-centric Post Extravaganza!

Last night I saw We Are Scientists at Kilby Court. It was quite possibly the best shows I have ever been to. The warm up acts were awesome. I was worried that W.A.S would play a lot of their new album, which I don't know as much about, but I was pleasantly surprised that I knew several of the songs they played that were new. They were really funny, and very genuine. I am kind of in love with them all over again. WHICH IS WHY! I am going to make this into a W.A.S fest, complete with HAAAY worthy pictures, music videos, interviews and some pictures and video from last night!

edit: videos from the show will be added shortly.





A classic W.A.S interview.
