Nothing much to say, except happy birthday to my darling of a mother, aka The Coolest Lady Of The Planet! Woo. I won’t tell you how young (Read: Old) she’s turning, because she would probably disembowel me for revealing he age on the world wide intarwebz.
Today is also the last day of my two week school holidays :(. But, I did manage to do all the stuff outlined in that list I made a few entries ago. I want to write more, but I don’t have much time since rels are coming over and we’re having a Mum-birthday party! Yay. It always means lots of Indian sweets and yummy curries. Heh.
I’m tired.
Also: I’ve rediscovered someone fantastic deep in the bowels of my music folders! Róisín Murphy. I know you’re probably Really Really Tired of me plugging all these different musicians, but for anyone who likes electronica/danceable music, you should check her out. What I love about it is that she doesn’t use headache inducing beats; it makes me think of spring. Has a very light, lovely sound. One of my favourites is Night Of The Dancing Flame. It was on So You Think You Can Dance? all that time ago. I actually loved that show, unlike most reality TV which I usually hate hate hate.
Aaaand, I’m also in love with this song (Patrick Wolf! Eee!): This Weather. I posted it before, but I doubt anyone downloaded it. If you do download any of those two, I’d really like to know what you think. :)
One of the many things I loved about seeing John Mayer in concert is that now, everytime I listen to a song that he played then, I vividly remember him playing that song at the concert. Like, for example, I have a studio version of Bigger Than My Body and he played that at the concert. So when I listen to it, I more often than not hear the brilliantly crunchy, hungry guitar instead of the toned down one (Compared to him playing it live) in the studio version. Oh, he is so amazing live. So. Much. Love! ♥ Bigger Than My Body is one of my favourite ‘pre-Continuum’ songs. And he played it! He also played 3 x 5 which is, for diehard fans, a Really Big Deal. Just… Mmm! Eee! He played It! *Floordead* I think I died when he started playing it. And then I went to heaven when he got to the chorus. Today I finally overcame/Trying to fit the world inside a picture frame.
I better stop my fangirly ramblings before I make someone nauseous, so.
Okaaaay, zat ees all. Au revoir!

Ohh yay! Happy Birthday to your mom =D *parties*
That sucks that your holidays are almost over =( But I’m sure it was good while it lasted! You were productive and got everything done that you wanted to do, so that’s good! I still haven’t even PRINTED my resume =/ Gar, I need to get motivated.
I downloaded Night of the Dancing Flame ^_^ Wow, that’s such a fun beat! It just has an exciting, yet easy going feeling to it. I do believe I like! ♥
Anyways, yeh! I added your site to the LOTM!! Woo! Your layouts are so unique and wonderful! Good luck! I’ll let you know when it starts ^_^ And yeh.. Kyle actually took it really well. When Amanda got it done, she was like, “DON’T TOUCH ME!” for a few weeks, but I guess it’s just because he’s a guy and he doesn’t have anything there to make it hurt =P
I hope you have fun at your mom’s birthday party. All that food sounds awesome, and is making me hungry. :) It sounds like a lot of fun.
I would download the songs, but I have dial-up… :( I wish I could though, they sound cool.
My sister loves John Mayer. Some of his songs are pretty cool. :) It’s awesome that you went to go see him though. I’m sure it was an amazing time especially for you since you’re such a big fan. It’s awesome when people completely appreciate the music like you seem to do. Take care.
Happy Birthday Mum, however old you are :)
John Mayer sounds like he was great! I love the nostalgia you feel after a concert :)
I love electronica music, but haven’t heard of Róisín Murphy. I’ll definitely look her music up. I would download the song you put up, but my computer is kind of broken and can’t download things. Well, have fun at your mom’s birthday party! :)
Aww, that’s really sweet of you have to a little bday party for your mom. I’m sure she appreciates it. Tell her I told her Happy Birthday!
Happy belated birthday to your Mom!! (: I hope you had fun and you got to eat lots o’ good stuff! hehe.
Ooh, I’m downloading Night of the Dancing Flame, but only because it was on SYTYCD. I lovelovelove that show!! ^_^ Hm, and yeah I have tons of music, and it’s hard to remember old favorites or song you never even knew you had! xD;
Thanks for the song. I’ll listen to it right now. =D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your mother!
The last few days of break are always the worst because you always want it to be longer. Happy birthday to your mom!
Happy belated birthday to your lovely mum!
I don’t think I’ve heard any of those songs before. That’s not really the type of music that I usually listen to.
That’s awesome that you got to see John Mayer in concert! He’s absolutely AMAZING on the guitar! I wanted to see him when he toured in Australia but I didn’t get the chance. :(
Happy birthday to you mom! and have fun at her party! have a nice time =)
I dont usually listen to that type of music, but have fun at that concert
Reading about John Mayer reminds me of Jessica Simpson which reminds me of Jake Gyllenhaal because it’s rumoured that they’re dating.
Which makes me sad.
But anyway!
Happy Birthday to your mom!
Happy Belated Birthday to your Mum! We all know it’s one year older, one year wiser, so~ ;D My 3-week holiday just ended, too. Not happy to have to wake up at 6 or 7 in the morning for classes. :S
Ah, it seems I can’t access your other post because it’s password protected, but I will comment on this one, if you don’t mind. =] I know I’m late on it, but happy belated birthday to your mom! It seems you have such a close relationship with your mother, which is always cool! I wish I had such a relationship with mine but I’ve never had such a good relationship with either of my parents — it’s a Chinese-thing I guess. =/
Happy belated birthday to your mom. :)
I like being exposed to new music, so it’s good to post music that you’re interested in. You may never know–some people may actually thank you even more, ha.
Happy very belated birthday to your Mother :)
Ooh, new music! Especially Róisín Murphy sounds like something I would like :)
Happy bday to your mum!
I’ll get some of the music you talked about…
Happy belated birthday to your mom! Sorry about that being the last day of your break. I have 18 days until I go back for my fall semester. I’m dreading it. I’m not really a big fan of John Mayer, but I do understand what you mean about a band or artist playing a concert then you remembering the performance vividly when you hear the songs! That made me want to go to another concert, like right now. haha.
Happy belated birthday to your mum! I hope your summer holiday was good. I’m not really into the music you’re talking about, but I hope you had fun at the concert!
I’ve actually never heard John Mayer. Or any of the other music you mentioned. =S
Sounds nice with the indian food at your mom’s birthday. I hope you had a good time.
You’re sooo lucky to have seen John Mayer! I just love his new CD and some of his past songs! I totally know what you mean about being able to picture that happens to me after I see bands in concert too.
Happy birthday to your mom!!! :D
I used to really like John Mayer, and I remember that 3×5 was like my absolute FAVORITE song by him. Lucky that you got to see him perform it! :)
Happy bday to your mom =)
John Mayer rocks! Never heard of the other musicians though, but it’s always fun checking them out=)
I hope your mum had a great birthday
Hey Melinda!! I’m just letting you know that voting has started for my LOTM!! Good luck with that =D Yay!!
i’m kind of the same way, every time i listen to my favorite band i remember everything from the show.
Ooh, getting back into old music habits is fun! (: I love some of the old bands and singers I used to listen to, hehe. xxx
happy (very belated) birthday to your mom! I do the same thing whenever I go to concerts. It’s very cool, and brings back good memories.
MEL!!! It’s been a long time…your site wouldn’t work for me before, it just kept giving me this stupid error but now…I’m here! yay!
HOW are you!?
