Music Monday!

Last week, I finally created my ultimate playlist on iTunes. I usually only play albums all as one piece, but now I’ve mashed together all my favorites which has me enjoying some long lost music and pieces I forgot about over time.

Some strong suggestions of songs to download if you are in search of new music!

Creature Fear Bon Iver
Wolf Like Me TV On The Radio
Calendar Girl Stars
Crystalized The xx
Rebellion (Lies) The Arcade Fire
Fans Kings of Leon
The Seed (2.0) The Roots
Oxford Comma Vampire Weekend
Young Americans David Bowie
Fraust Arp Radiohead

And now, a classic YouTube video choice. Here is the lovely new video for Ok Go’s This Too Shall Pass. It’s incredibly entertaining to watch, and if you click play you will figure out quickly just why that is.

Three Cool Finds & One Governor General

Cool Finds, yo.
Are you really bored? Click me.

I wish my man was on a horse like this guy. Click me.

The rumours are not true. Totem Park is not like this. Click me.

One Governor General, just chillin.

Can you tell that’s me in the right corner with the long brown hair that likes to twist and turn into many random directions?

5 reasons why it is awesome to go to the Athletes Village and chill with Michaelle Jean, Canada’s Governor General, and some athletes on a Friday afternoon.

1) You use cafeteria trays to eat lunch and chat, it isn’t a formal event. Which gives you the chance to hear about the Governor General’s trip to Haiti that she just returned from the day before.

2) Have you ever noticed how awesome her hair is?

3) You get to meet many Paralympic Athletes in the village, including the sledge hockey team, who tells you about their unlimited access to free Coca Cola with their secret Coke pay passes.

4) Sam Sullivan and youth from his foundation here about the lunch time gathering and come to hang out as well. Other West Coast (Mob)ilizers decide to tag along too. Why not? It’s wicked-awesome. We all munch on the nicest food together and talk about the most incredible things like Haiti, disability awareness and understanding, and how lucky we are to be Canadians.

5) Michaelle Jean is one inspiring lady to listen to.

Whuddup BlackBerry Photos

Return of the BlackBerry!

I forgot to tell you that over Christmas my stolen BlackBerry was replaced. Since the beginning of Term Deux, I’ve been snapping photos with it’s tiny little camera everywhere I go. It’s like having great photos for TwitPic, but you are too lazy to use TwitPic. So you upload them onto your UBC Blog instead.

Buying last minute tickets at a ridiculous price to see Phoenix and 300 fans storm the stage is the way to go!

Music Monday & A huge accomplishment

The Arcade Fire- Wake Up

It’s a good song, and a good throw back to when I used to watch Much Music before going to school in the morning. I remember their music videos. And I was a confused young child. It also reminds me of EQAL’s promotional video. Click here to check out the video. Because of the video, all I see is Alicia Silverstone getting out of a pool when I listen to this song. They are the folks behind LonelyGirl15. Never heard of LG15? Google it, it was huge. I even had a small acting role in one of their shows within the LG15 canon. Say whatttt?

Accomplishment: In only a few short days, I have gone from halfway through season 2 of How I Met Your Mother to the season finale of season 4. Legen- wait for it- dary!

Loser

Oh yeah, attention all prospecteeves, I’m going to be a Residence Advisor in Totem Park next year. See you then.
