Rebecca Black - Friday

Friday is not nearly as fun on this side of the prolonged nap known as the "nightly sleep." That's the only reason I could come up with to explain why I am posting this song. (Plus, I may be starting to like it? Mere exposure effect gone horribly wrong!)

Billy Idol - Mony Mony

Kind of obsessed with this song, but this man is truly terrifying. Actually, the whole scene is terrifying.

There's a guy down the hall with a very similar top (I hesitate to call it a shirt).
...yeah.

Sherlock

AHAHAAHAHA love him.




Thanks AA, AY, and DL for telling me about this.

Ahhh...The Eighties...

(The children's choir is the best part.)

I feel like I shouldn't reminisce about the eighties, since I wasn't even alive then.

Just A Dream - Nelly

Thank you for taking me through two late nights, on replay.

Jake Bruene and Kurt Schneider. My first exposure to this song. Intrigued by the black guitar.


Sam Tsui and Christina Grimmie, produced by Kurt Schneider. Not much to say about this one. Everyone already knows it and loves it.


Nelly. The original. Also good. Don't hate.

Amazing. I wish I was a part of this.

How I Met Your Mother Songs

How I Met Your Mother has a pretty solid soundtrack. Observe:

Season 3, Episode 12 - No Tomorrow. This is when Ted goes back to a bar and finds the yellow umbrella.


Season 3, Episode 19 - Everything Must Go. This is when Lily is trying to sell her art on the streets.


Season 4, Episode 6 - Happily Ever After. This is after Ted imagines confronting Stella after his ex-wedding. Regina Spektor is, as always, a good choice.

Alternate version:


Season 2, Episode 9 - Slap Bet. How could a list of HIMYM songs not include this gem?


Then there's also Barney's Get Psyched Mix for New Year's Eve (Season 1, Episode 11 - The Limo): You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi, Don't Stop Believing by Journey, Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield.

Legen - wait for it - DARY.

Marina and the Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot

New Favorite Musical Artist: A Fine Frenzy

A Fine Frenzy is my new music obsession, especially her song "Blow Away." A few weeks back it was "What I Wouldn't Do" and "Almost Lover," both still very very good songs. I usually get tired of song obsessions too quickly for my liking, but I still love these.





Here are some of my favorite pictures of Alison Sudol, the lead singer of A Fine Frenzy:
The picture from her debut album, One Cell in the Sea

I love her dress and her boots here. And everything about this picture, actually.
