letsgofriday | my heart's a stereo

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

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

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/!

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

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.

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.

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

...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?)

..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/)

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.)

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 :)
