Jules is back.

I am in a FANTASTIC mood. The final that I was really worried about turned out ok because I studied everything that was on the exam. it was amazing. like every passage on the IDs I specifically reviewed...anyhow, I have 2 more to go and I'm not too worried about those.

and, of course, because this is a MUSIC blog,
THE STROKES' JULIAN CASABLANCAS, Santogold and Pharrell are collaborating on a new song for Converse. MY DEAR LORD. Julian's voice floors me. updates will come soon.

The Strokes - New York City Cops [mp3]
damn good song.

in other news, Ben Gibbard makes me laugh. He said: “The second Postal Service album is threatening to become the Chinese Democracy of indie rock. It will come out eventually, or maybe it won’t.”
clever boy.

oh and The Decemberists are playing an Obama benefit gig in NY tomorrow afternoon. more power to them.

let there be love. and music. and no more finals.

I am dying here. I don't feel like studying but I have a massive exam tomorrow. may the g-ds help me.

I have had this on repeat forever. it calms me down and helps me focus. I love Liam's voice but Noel's is a nice variation... tis my favourite Oasis song:

Oasis - Let there be love [mp3]

in other news, Michael Jackson's "thriller" was induced into the library of congress as a “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” addition to the history of American music.
good song.

I am very pissed off, because this very cool festival: the new American music festival
is on my birthday, but in Pennsylvania. LAME. such a fantastic lineup.

ok that's all for now, I should start studying.

New Panic Video

Panic at the disco's new video for That Green Gentleman (things have changed) can be seen below
such a good song. cute video.



I posted enough mp3s from Panic's new record here

New Weezer

Weezer's new single, Pork and Beans, came out a couple of weeks ago, and their new record (also called Weezer, haha those guys aren't very good at coming up with album names...or perhaps they just love eponymous records) is out June 3rd.

listen to the song here:
