Relient k is like bacon... they can cover anything and make it amazing.

HAHAHA! That was a comment on one of their covers on Youtube. And it's true! They're like so good that they can cover this and totally rock. It's ridiculously amazing. I don't what it is about this band but I totally love them.

This is the original. HAHAHA! You won't get the freaking big joke until you see the original.

Burberry Acoustic - 'Country Song' by Jake Bugg

HOWMY! I love this guy.

Sinking Ships- General Fiasco

Watched Burberry Acoustics. It was a M.E.N. when I watched this, didn't really know how I'd arrived at this. But Burberry Acoustics features really cool artists, I think it's where I discovered other artists too.

Anyway, aren't they so adorbs?! HAHA.
Don't they just look dapper in their coats?

General Fiasco are an indie rock group from Bellaghy, Northern Ireland.

The Anthem for Losers

Iron Maiden baby!

Pirate Radio aka The Boat That Rocked

One of the cutest films ever.

Besides, my crush Tom, is in here.

Yeah, I have a funny story bout him though. After watching Pirate Radio and deciding it was awesome. I looked up Tom Sturridge photos and concluded that he could have been a better Edward Cullen than Robert Pattinson. It was a shame. Weeks after, I found out that he and RPATZZ were actually best friends. LAME.

Radical.

The Downtown Fiction will release their new EP, Pineapple, on December 20th. Check out the artwork above, tracklisting below.

1. Out In The Streets
2. Get It Right
3. Happy (Without You)
4. Feeling Better
5. Circles

I'm seriously in PANIC mode right now.

AAAH! Tumblr, sometimes, I swear I just wanna kiss you and kill you at the same time-if that's humanly possible.

I just found out through said blogging site that GLEE, freaking GLEE covered MY FAVORITE BAND right now (and I'd like to think for a long time)--FUN.

How could they?! I KNOW! I am so in hipster mode right now!

PLEASE just PLEASE. I hope that publicity won't take my love away from me. Because I cannot live sans it. I mean, I could but that life would be so freaking ugly.

HOOOH, I am totally steaming right now.

Q is for Quack - Alphabreaks (Dappled Cities)

I always watch this with my sibs but today, I wondered.........

HAHAHA! The next post would be about this Aussie band Dapple Cities. :))

The Middle-Jimmy Eat World

Jimmy Eat World eats the wooorld. Thanks for this song. It's gotten people through tough times.

Look out: The Christmas Palylist

I know some fun Christmas songs so I've decided to gather them all up in one playlist. I may post it a week before Christmas. I think it would be great so watch out for that :))))

FUN.

HAHA. I guess it's time for the inevitable. I have put off posting FUN. for a looong while now. AS IN. Ever since I resumed blogging, I have wanted to post about them but I only got around to it now (NOW that the obsession in me is already subsiding). I have put off posting this because I treasure fun. so much and I think that I'm too afraid that they wouldn't be of your tastes. I figured you haven't heard much indie music as I have and it may be kinda scary for you. But alas, I feel like I can't go on with this blog when my whole system has fun. in it and it's already beginning to move on and find new blood but I still haven't shared them with you. Yes, if you understood what I just said, please go on reading. HAHA, anyway.

Let's talk about what Wikipedia tells us about fun.. Yes, they're a band and yes, they do have a period at the end of their name. They're cool like that.

Sabi ni Wiki, fun. is an American indie pop band (you do not know how good that sounds to me) based in New York City in New York that was formed by Nate Ruess from the now-dissolved band, The Format. After the 2008 breakup of The Format, Ruess left Arizona to develop his career in New York City.  Ruess then formed Fun with Andrew Dost of Anathallo and Jack Antonoff of Steel Train. Fun recorded their debut album, Aim and Ignite in August 2008.

In February 2010, Fun supported Jack's Mannequin  (I love this band too, HAHA) on their headline tour, along with Vedera which was followed by their first UK appearances in March. YADA YADA YADA. Their current touring band also includes Rob Kroehler, Emily Moore, Nate Harold, and Jon "Jonny Thunder" Goldstein.

HEAR THIS, HEAR THIS. In April 2010, Fun supported Paramore's headline tour. Other support for the tour includes Relient K and Harriet Ellis of Summer Beats hosted by Sprint Mobile. The band then embarked on a full UK tour in May. OHA OHA.

Fun and Relient K opened up for Paramore on their Spring Tour 2010. AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Aim and Ignite album cover art.

Anywhooooooo. Let's talk about some of their songs, shall we?

Personally, I loved the whole Aim and Ignite album but I DID have preferences, favorites even. And I'm also gonna talk about some that's not in the album. Also, as I am totally in love with fun. because they are so totally AMAZING live (although I haven't really seen them perform live, please do not argue with me, haha), I am gonna post some of their live sessions along with the studio versions. I'M EXCITED! 

So, let's be moving along.

The first one is All The Pretty Girls. This is the first fun. song that I listened to and it was a lot of FUN too! If you've been reading my posts, I discovered fun. the same time I first listened to Pumped Up Kicks, that M.E.N. I was talking about in this post-->Pumped Up Kicks-Foster The People, that was it. HAHA. Anyways, watch the video first, before we make further evaluations.

Please, just ignore Nate's pants, however distracting they may be. Nate is the one who sings, by the way. HAHAHA. They look pretty cute, don't they? I didn't think so, the first time I saw a picture of them. But I have realized over the time that as far as I and music are concerned, familiarity breeds affection. Think that over. :) OHMY, looking at them right now, I realized that they look like a bunch of nerds and I AM A NERD for saying 'they look pretty cute, don't they?'. Oh well. Dorky is my name and Quirky is my game.

Some say Nate look like Mark Wahlberg and I'monna go with YEAH! HE TOTALLY DOES! I love Mark Wahlberg. Tsk. 

I don't know what more to say about the song at this point because I just plainly liked it when I heard it. At this point right now, I would have some things to say about it but I WON'T. Because I, how do I say this? I have a lot to say about it now because of the experiences and discoveries I had between that time and now. And, I guess, I want you to discover those things as well and enjoy this song in a whole new light later on. That goes for all the other songs too. Because that is the joy of music! Don't you just love that? :))))))

Next let's talk about At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be). WAIT! Before I say anything more, let's listen to it first. :D

Now this. This song gave me a lot to like about fun. Kung sa All The Pretty Girls, I just plainly liked it, with this one, I really noticed the artist and I started to wonder about their potential and what they could actually serve on the table. After this I may have to post some lives. HAHA. With this song, uhm, when I listened to it, I felt LIBERATED. I felt FREE. Haha. I honestly did. At that time, I couldn't actually tell what I felt but it really seemed like an overwhelming eureka moment. I never knew music can be like this. I never thought it could be that honest and fun and playful. HAHA. I feel silly right now but back then, that's what I felt.

The thing I so dig about fun. is how they can rock out live. That live session was no different from the studio version, except that it's acoustic. Well, maybe I'm overdoing this fun. promotion and I maybe over-reacting but YES, I am totally admiring Nate. He's an excellent singer. I never thought. O.O

They're GOOOOD! I wish I'd been there to shout "HEY, NATE!" at the hey, nate part. :| ENK. Y'know there's this live one during their tour with Paramore where they sing this song with Relient K and Hayley Williams does the girl parts. But I won't post that because I'm so jealous of Hayley. BUT OHHH! That moment is just so epic, my favorite artists sharing a stage!!!!!!!!! So I'm gonna post it. I just decided that now.

This video has 0 dislikes! Gettaloado'that!!! In case you missed, the one playing trumpet was Matt Thiessen from Relient K. You'd recognize his scraggly mass of a hair, ugh, Matt and his hair. That was really fun jamming but OH! I think you've had too much of ALINAS. SORRRRRY.

Are you now seeing the built-up excitement?! This is gonna be a long post. HAHA. Okay maybe I'll just do top three favorites and just post the videos for the others. HAHA.

This maybe TOP 1. HAHA. I was supposed to do a separate post on this. I had written out a draft on my notebook and I'm just gonna type it here now with some commentaries and whatnot.

The supposed TITLE: I really really love this song.

Well, that tells a lot doesn't it? I love almost every song I post here. But not enough to put it on the title.

That was actually a desperate plea for you to read this post.

In this post, I will reveal two artists that I am into these days (I've obviously written this quite some time ago). They are Panic! At The Disco and Fun. Knowing about the collaboration made my world shake. Of course, that is an exaggeration so you don't have to wonder if my world indeed shook. This song is titled "C'mon"

C'mon is one of those songs that I loved instantly. During my C'MON phase, I couldn't say a single negative thing about it. HAHA. That's how much I adore it. Considering how I love the two artists (which I doubt you have the vaguest idea of), you could just imagine (maybe you can't) how euphoric I feel everytime I listen to it.

It's funny that I first heard a cover of this before I heard the original version. I don't know how I arrived at Colour Of Infinity's cover (COI is Patrick and I like him and his sister, you should check them out) but I liked his cover and I wanted to listen to the original, to see if it were better or worse so I can decide which to download. ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS.

I do not like this video so much. I was looking for one with cute pictures and the CORRECT lyrics but this one is the closest to having them but I like the photos from this video better.

OKAY, LEZZ WATCH IT LIIIVE!

MIND. BLOWING. So powerful. Brendon's keyboard smashing and their almost kiss. HAHA. Them sharing a stage and singing one song. AMAZING, I tell you. So sweet. OKAY, I can't say any more.

Here are other fun. songs I like:

The Gambler

Now I don't care if this video doesn't have photos. The lyrics are what matter most. :D

Be Calm

I Wanna Be The One

Teenage Dirtbag- All Time Low (Wheatus Cover)

Awesoooome. Just chanced upon this video of All Time Low covering the Wheatus song "Teenage Dirtbag" which I hear a lot and really like. But Alex really made it sound cooler. I can say better than Wheatus! HAHA.

They didn't do the whole song though. Jack was a party pooper.

Found this. Shot from a different angle.

:O

My reaction to this:

UGH. My frustration!

Just now, I get @replied by Brookline Drive. Because I tweeted about the Brookline Drive and Stereo Skyline gigs. AND UUUUUUGGGGHHH! They ask if I'm coming and it's so sick because I'm not. Because I can't. I feel this all the time. I would so love to watch my favorite artists live.

HA-HA-HA. I can't smile.

I have a crush on this alien.

HAHAHA! This is Jordan. Eckes. He's an alien. He's from a super cool band called We Are The In Crowd. I'll post a song later. I just wanted to say I have a crush on this super tall and lanky boy who rocks like no other. HAHA.

He's so skinnnny.

I don't want to imagine how many times I repeated "I Remember..." in this post.

I sure hope somebody out there is reading my crappy little blog.

Because I feel very much like Julie (from Julia and Julie) right now. HAHA. Anywhoo.

OH! OH! OH! I just remembered my dream a while ago. I dreamed (is there no such word as dreamt?!) that Colin Egglesfield was one of my teachers! But the setting was high school and not college. If you didn't know Colin Egglesfield is a very HANDSOME and GORGEOUS actor. Yes, I needed to emphasize those. HAHA. I knew him through the movie "Something Borrowed" (which you should check out because I definitely loved it.)

Anyway, it didn't look so good in my dream. I was in trouble because I forgot to return his guitar that I borrowed. I left it in some room. Colin was about to leave when he remembered about the guitar and he sent someone to fetch it for him, so that someone came looking for me. HAHA. And nervously, I went looking for it (I didn't even know where it was exactly). I dragged a classmate to come with me because I was afraid. On our way, we saw Colin standing by a tricycle (Can you believe it?! Colin looked like a Greek god beside that raggedly tricycle) so we took a detour, I didn't want him to see us.

So we got to that room and thankfully it wasn't locked and the guitar was there, comfortably perched on the wall. So we took it, along with some scrunched up paper cut-outs (I forgot why we took them). We decided we should just give it to Colin directly so I swallowed my fear and walked out onto the street. He was sitting inside the trike so I couldn't see him but somehow he knew I was there and he got out. He looked handsomely intimidating. And when I say this, I am not exaggerating. He looked quite pissed at me for making him wait long. And so I felt very very ashamed. But he looked oh so cute. HAHA. So I handed him the thing and stared after him. Apparently, he wasn't going to ride the tricycle at all. He got on the jeepney parked alongside the road. And to my surprise, my grandma came out of the school and got on the friggin jeepney with Colin Egglesfield! Can you believe it?! And so with great gusto I started shouting to my granny and we were like waving back and forth to each other and suddenly I wanted to ride that jeepney too! My grandma was not gonna get Colin to herself! Now I don't remember much about the next events but there wasn't much Colin. I think I made 'sabit' sa jeep, I don't know, but I remember constantly falling off the darned thing and trying to get on it again and in the end we just walked home. I remember feeling sad while walking (might be because of the Colin encounter) and I remember looking down to see myself wearing my sister's clothes. My sister is 5 years old! But yeah, I was wearing her favorite floral skirt and it, surprisingly, fit me just well. And so that dream ended with me back home.

Lousy dream. I don't want to tell you of my dream on the night BEFORE that. It was a Smile Kid dream and I do not want to remember it, EVER!

PS: Colin Egglesfield is such a (Please, I don't want to say hottie because I sound like a pervert. Don't even get me started on sexy) a...a..good looking man? HAHA. Anyway, it wasn't just his killer face and body. Okay, maybe his body but more his POSTURE. (What? Posture?!) Yeah, I'm weid that way. I notice his posture. Yes, the way he stands and the way he shoves his hands in his pockets. I love those little things. Oh geez, when you see him in a suit, BLAH, that's just killer meltdown for my heart.

Maybe some Colin spamming since I cannot stop raving about him.

Look at those shoulders.
