I Am Pitchfork Media

I have a test in an hour and a half which means I will give you a list of 10 songs to listen to and...that's it.

1. Alphabeat - The Spell
This video is the bee's knees! I didn't think this Scandinavian pop outfit could get any better after Fascination and 10,000 Nights. I guess I was wrong?

2. Mayer Hawthorne - Just Ain't Gonna Work Out
He's white! And dreamy!



3. Sohodolls - Bang Bang Bang Bang
I love this for sentimental reasons. Also listen to their song Prince Harry! And their song Stripper was featured in Gossip Girl!!

4. Little Boots - Stuck on Repeat
Her songs are always catchy! And she's reminiscent of Madonna - I don't know if that's a good thing or not?

5. Razorlight - Burberry Blue Eyes
It's just nice!

6. Julian Casablancas - 11th Dimension
Remember that guy from The Strokes? Well, this is him. This song is as catchy as H1N1 and all I want to do is drunkenly dance to it all night long!

7. Mika - We Are Golden
Mika is the gayest, most flamboyant, most AMAZING human being on this planet and this album doesn't say otherwise. It's nice and you should watch the video. If you don't like him, then just watch it for the shoes!...?



8. Starlight Mints - Popsickle
Garage-band-tweepop. Video with puppets. Sophomore year. :)

9. Voxtrot - Berlin, Without Return
New Voxtrot! More mellow than poppy Start of Something, but it's nice anyway.

10. Flunk - Cigarette Burns
Simply black&white. Simply amazing! Sounds like a successful blend of Camera Obscura and Rilo Kiley. That's definitely a good thing!

OK! BYE!

This ain't no love song

So last night I was talking to my friend, Hope. She was the one I hung out with in London and went to gay parades and met rockstars with. My grammar is atrocious right now, but if I spend a couple more weeks with FreeRice, that will be a thing of the past.

Anyway, Hope and I were talking about how much we miss London and we should just go back and get a flat together. d'AW! So, I googled "songs about london" and got this. I scrolled down and saw lots of Pulp (which is always good IMO). One of the songs is called Bar Italia!!! I THINK...uh...SOMETHING REALLY FUNNY HAPPENED THERE! And Jarvis Cocker is singing about it!

Watch the video and ignore the fantastical, mythical, RPing creatures - those are irrelevant.


He's a beautiful man and my ideal mate.

i'm too much in love

i was supposed to go to PRIDE today and i didn't. now i have to wait until NEXT YEAR!

last night was SUCH a good night. hope and i ended up watching "go ask alice" (william shatner was in it and was as butch as possible), complete with two bottles or really bad rose wine. so when we ran out of wine we wanted to go out and get more because, well, why not?

anyway, everywhere was pretty much CLOSED and stopped selling alcohol. so SOMEHOW we ended up in soho (hedonism and debauchery galore, HEEEYYYY!) and met a group of the cutest twinks you will ever meet in your life. they invited us up to drink and sing karaoke with them. after that we ended up at some TERRIBLE bar where hope accidentally broke a wine glass.

and then we ended up meeting this guy:

his name was toni and he was the finnish guitar player of the band sohodolls.
he was actually really cool and i'm hoping that we'll become the best of friends and he will have mad connections to people like russell brand (swoooon!) and lily allen.

ok, maybe i'll go to pride anyway. i'm sure everything is going to be going on in soho tonight.
i'm pretty sure this is why london is better than most other places.

i really wish i had photographic documentation - perhaps tonight?

omg now all i want to do is dress up ridiculously and listen to the pet shops boys all night long - nvrmind my stereotypes.

i'm dorian gray. (what?!)
