my heart's a stereo

[letsgofriday]

I know nothing about chart music, seriously. I don't listen to the radio much, but somehow I still manage to pick up on new songs. Most of it I dislike, but some of it is amazingly catchy and perfect for a night out. Here are some of my picks from the Irish Top 50

Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Hereos ft. Adam Levine
This song is amazingly catchy and I really actually like it.

The A-Team - Ed Sheeran
This song actually, honest to god, owns my heart. It's so beautiful. Check out the music video, too. It was filmed for £20 and it's stunning.

Shake It Up - Florence & The Machine
I don't have this downloaded. Mainly because I am waiting to buy a physical copy of the cd and burn them. I support artists I love, like I love Flo + Gang. If you only download one song on this list, it should be this.

Paradise - Coldplay
I'm not a big fan of Coldplay, the whiny censored.   But I rather like this.

Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People
I love me some Foster The People. It's good to see good bands get recognition. This song is so cheery.

Video Games - Lana Del Ray
This is good. Gooooood.

Good Life - One Republic
Why is this in the list. I don't even know. I'm adding it. Hey sometimes the charts are weird. I LOVE ONE REPUBLIC. I think I shall dedicate my LJ to them. I remember the first time I heard All The Right Moves. I must've listened to that song on repeat for a week.

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
Yet again, no idea why this is in the charts. Who cares though? Not me. Adding this to the list yeaaahbuddy.

And one album that I adore so much - it's amazing!

Passenger - Lisa Hannigan
I loved Sea Sew (I remember the first time I heard I Don't Know - aah memories!) and this is just as good!


Enjoy!

Yeaaaaaah, lots of love for Stereo Hearts. Totally my not-even-guilty pleasure :D Also, the A Team! I did some work experience with Ed Sheeran's crew recently, it was fantastic \o/ he's a really nice bloke, too. I wasn't crazy about the album until I saw him play live and then he totally blew me away. The video for Lego House went up the other day, as well, and I was sitting there the whole way through going "Oh! I was there when they filmed that! And I know that guy! Ooh, and that guy!" XD

[letsgofriday.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! I'm jealous! That sounds like a lot of fun, what mv's were you filming? Lego House, anything else?

[dear-monday.livejournal.com]

Well, I was at the show that Rupert Grint was at, which was where they filmed a lot of the Lego House stuff (or, you know, film crew in the way ALL AFTERNOON, blathering about the intensity of the LEDs) and Channel 4 filmed the Shepherd's Bush Empire show to maybe make a DVD out of at some point :D It was! Like, hard work, but great fun \o/

I did a few film courses a year or two back - it was great fun! Very much for the beginners but the short film we made won some awards :3 It was a 1940's detective short about a murdered jaffa cake. Needless to say, we didn't really think our plot through but people liked it so \o/!

[dear-monday.livejournal.com]

LOL, oh my god, a murdered jaffa cake! That is quite brilliant, ngl :D Respect.

[letsgofriday.livejournal.com]

We put as many cake puns as we could... THE CAKE DOESN'T LIE. IT'S A CAKE NOT A BISCUIT. The lead detective was called McVities and the sidekick Jacobs. Basically it was food porn. .___. (we got through a lot of packets of jaffa cakes that week.)
oh god looking back it was awful lolol.

[dear-monday.livejournal.com]

looooool, NEVER be sorry for terrible puns. Or food porn, come to that XD oh, man, I really want jaffa cakes now. I'm going to see if I can find any.

Awful, maybe, but in a nostalgic kind of way? That's totally the best kind of awful.

[letsgofriday.livejournal.com]

We were such a big bunch of nerds, we spent our time talking about video games and youtube videos and internet memes. I think we got a bit caught up in everything.

YUM, jaffa cakes :D Now I want some too! Also, appropriate icon is appropriate! :3

[dear-monday.livejournal.com]

...that describes about 90% of the conversations I have with my friends XD NO REGRETS.

Right? I didn't find any, I had to settle for fig rolls instead :( sad times for me, may you have better luck getting your hands on some \o/ (also, isn't it? But, I mean, it has Ray Toro and also cupcakes, when is this not appropriate?)

[letsgofriday.livejournal.com]

..but how do they get the fig inside the fig roll?


ray toro + cupcakes = icon win \o/

Hmm, well I found some gingernut bisquits. ugh.

I wouldn't ever change being a total nerd. It's so much fun, pissing yourself laughing at internet things and when someone asks "lol waz so funni!?" and you're at a loss to explain it to a n00b. Or trying to explain, as I once made the fatal mistake. I got a "lol haha yeh dats funni!" back. Wasted 3 minutes of my life, there.

Now to get back to my 1980's MCR works in a movie theatre and Gerard is not gay nope nope nope - fic. (More evidence of my nerdiness. I have the soundtrack that came with it playing and have a few more zombie-hallowe'en ones lined up when it's over. \o/)

[dear-monday.livejournal.com]

THE ETERNAL QUESTION. Which means the answer must be 42 oh god I just made a Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference. Bedtime for me /o\

Boo :( but better than nothing, right? And, ugh, COULD NOT AGREE MORE ♥ the best thing about having nerdy friends is they go with it but get it when you start speaking in LOLcat or quoting Monty Python/Lord of the Rings/other.

Ooh, I don't know if I downloaded the soundtrack, but I think I read that one! lea_ndra's, right? So much looooove, omg. (that is not nerdiness, it is DEDICATION. EMBRACE IT \o/ also, possibly relevant at this point? I have an entire halloween/zombie playlist, because I am actually that cool.)

[letsgofriday.livejournal.com]

I... Might have more than one? Possibly more than 5? I love Hallowe'en with a burning passion. Also because I often end up at a friends house watching B-class horror movies and playing blind-mans-buff because we are all 12 years old. Last Hallowe'en it was the Sweeney Todd soundtrack that ~set the mood. This Hallowe'en it shall be a zombie apocalypse playlist.


... I think it is also time to sleep for me. I might be getting a bit obsessed with re-working these playlists with every single 80's punk song I can find o_o.

Night :)
