Got the IPod Touch!!!!

So i got the ipod touch for Christmas and it's the coolest thing EVER!! it's only the 8 gig and i've already filled it up to the brim with songs (i had no idea how big my itunes library is...) but i can access internet from it and go onto facebook to chat with everyone which is really convenient and i can go onto itunes from it!!! it's so coool!!! but i definantly know what i want to get next year for Christmas or even my birthday...i want that record player!!! i saw one at target for around $100 which doesn't seem that bad so i definantly want it!!!



i also went to Hot Topic the other day...which was kind of wierd since i don't go very often but i went looking for a Dashboard Confessional t-shirt (and failed to find one) but i got a "The Academy Is.." t-shirt and it's so awesome!!! there was such a huge selection of band t-shirts that I LOVE so i'm gonna have to go again and get some more because spending $20 on a shirt THAT COOL is totally worth it!! hopefully next time they'll stash up on some Dashboard shirts. anyway...it was also really wierd because i saw "avoigin" there. i don't know why i was as surprised as i was, i mean you'd think she practically lives there but anyway...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

"Folie A Deux"

So i got the new Fall Out Boy album this week and i must say...I'm impressed!! i'm usually not a huge fan of Fall Out Boy just because it seems like EVERYONE listens to them and i'll admit i've liked a few songs off their previous albums but i've REALLY enjoyed "Folie A Deux"!!! "I Don't Care" is obviously a popular song right now but i have a feeling that "America's Sweethearts" is gonna be the next hit off of this album. Another one of my favorites off of the new album is "Pavlove"...
EVERYONE SHOULD CHECK THIS ALBUM OUT!!

I HAVE to Go!!!!!!

So i was looking at the local calendar of upcoming concerts and one of them is: Cute Is What We Aim For, Meg&Dia, and Every Avenue!! I HAVE HAVE HAVE to go!! Gina!! We have to go!! Andrea...if you want to get hooked on a new band...YOU HAVE TO GO!!! The concert is @ the Marque Theater in Tempe in March, so save up!!!

My Top 10 Albums I listened to NON-STOP this Year!!

1. The Glass Passenger- Jack's Mannequin (as always, every song on a Jack's Mannequin album could be listened to over and over and still not get old)

2. OK Okay- La Rocca (I got this for Gina for her birthday because she was DYING to have it and i bought it on itunes so i could have a copy...IT IS SUCH A GOOD ALBUM!! i love la rocca!)

3. The Shade of Poison Trees- Dashboard Confessional (everything on this album is crazy good, even the cover art is sick!! but none of the songs are as good as listening to him sing it live! gosh i can't believe i can truly say that!!)

4. Like Vines- The Hush Sound (just recently got into this band and i really like them. i already blogged about this album so i won't say too much. i think i'm close to busting my cd player with the amount of times i've listened to this album)

5. Simple Times- Joshua Radin (i am in love with this guy! his voice is so beautiful! one of my fav albums of his)

6.Sometimes- City and Colour (this album is a great one to listen to in the car on a rainy day! it's by Vagrant Records- the same that produces Dashboard Confessional's album- so you know its gotta be good!)

7. Unfold- Marie Digby ( I got hooked on Marie Digby when i saw her youtube video! she put out her first album this year and I LOVE IT!! she's been featured on Smallville and a ton of other shows! i love her voice!)

8.Don't Look Away- Kate Voegele (great female vocalist! Gina introduced me to Kate Voegele and i love her! her songs have been on the sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 and One Tree Hill...she is fabulous and her debut album "Don't Look Away" makes me really excited to see what she's gonna come up with next!)

9.Way to Normal- Ben Folds ( i freakin' love ben folds! there music and videos are hilarious and so catchy!! You Don't Know Me is obviously the best song off of this album)

10. Here We Stand- The Fratellis (i first heard the fratellis in...a movie theater. lol it's pretty lame, but i fell in love with their music! gina thinks i'm wierd for listening to them but "Chelsea Dagger" is one of my top 10 songs EVER!! at least for now, i always change my mind.)

I SO want to go Vinyl!!!

okay one of these days, i'm gonna go out and by myself a record player so i can buy some cool vinyl albums since they are WAY cheaper than cds!! plus some of them look really cool! I know Jack's Mannequin and Dashboard and plenty of other bands sell them! gosh i want one real bad!!

I love these pics of Chris...

Got Wassail?!

Happy Holidays!! If anyone wants some hot wassail, come on down to my house!! I've a special recipe that's sure to hit the right snot...I mean, spot!! lol. inside joke!

Keep Up the Good Work Chris!!!

I am so excited to see what this "lyrical GENIOUS" has in mind for the new Dashboard album-due out next year- I am positive that it will be inspirational and loaded with FABULOUS songs. I can't begin to tell you how eager I am to listen to Chris Carrabba's new creations!!
GOOD LUCK, CHRIS!!!

These Guys Crack Me UP!!

Jeff Dye!! Not only is he funny, but I think he is so hot!! My favorite one of his youtube videos is Cheez-its and Me!!

Barats and Bereta!! These guys are hilarious, and surprisingly NOT LDS (wierd). Anyway, their video Bible In A Minute is CRAZY!!

Ryan Gosling: I never realized how funny this guy was until I watched this interview of him on Ellen!

Steve Nash: I loved this interview from last year when he chipped his tooth! He's so funny!

Andrew McMahon!! I found this video of him making fun of Something Corporate. It's pretty funny, although whenever this guy opens his mouth he says something humorous.

Such a GOOD Album, Such a GOOD Band

So I've got another band and album to add to the list of my "All-Time favorites"!! The band is called The Hush Sound and the album that I've fallen in love with is "Like Vines". Basically every song on this album is great, but some of my favs are "Red Wine", "We Intertwined" and "Lighthouse". The female lead singer Greta Salpeter has an amazing voice and she is an excellent pianist for the band! I love that the singers in this band mix up the vocals a bit and it's not just one singer in every song! They've all known each other since Jr. High and it really shows by how "in-synch" they all are with each other!! Everyone should definantly check them out!

Alright...Maybe I should Hold My Horses a bit.

So about the last post I made...I was partially true. The Phoenix Suns did make a trade for Raja Bell and Boris Diaw and in return they got Jason Richarson from the Charlotte Bobcats. He made his debut as a Sun last night in their win against Orlando and he scored 21 points!! He played really well considering he hasn't even practiced with the team yet! I'm really excited to watch this guy because he's really fired up the rest of the team offensively and he showed to have a lot of energy in last nights game! So I've realized that before I do my "pouting" I need to realize not to jump to too many conclusions. This guy is a two-time Slam Dunk Champ and he's an excellent shooter, so I can't wait to see more of Jason Richardson!!

It's Official! My Phoenix Suns SUCK!!!

So even though I know that everyone will automatically ignore this post since nobody wants to hear me rant on and on about the Phoenix Suns, but I just had to make a post about how upset I am!! I am really ashamed to be a Suns fan!! They've lost their past 4 games and it doesn't look good!! Alright, I call it right now! Sometime within the next 2-3 years the following will happen:
1. Shaq won't be around (duh, he'll be retired)
2. Steve Nash will be traded (tear)
3. Amare Stoudemire will go into the free agent pool in 2010 with Lebron James, D-Wade, and Chris Bosh.
4. Either Boris Diaw or Leandro Barbosa won't be on the team anymore.
5. Grant Hill won't be a Sun.

*Basically, the only hope the Suns have is their Rookie, Robin Lopez! Because the rest of the team doesn't even seem like they want to play anymore. And the only enjoyment the fans of Phoenix are gonna see is the All-Star Game in Phoenix this year and hopefully Amare, Shaq, and Steve Nash will be on the Western Conference team!! I've voted for them for the past month!! It just seems right for Shaq to be on the team this year because he wasn't last year and, I mean, SHAQ IS THE ALL-STAR GAME!! He brings all the entertainment and fun!! So, the only thing I'm looking forward to at US Airways Center is the All-Star game. And hopefully, Robin Lopez will be in the Rookie/Sophmore game!!

So I've decided I need to look for another favorite NBA team to watch.
I predict that it'll be Boston and L.A in the finals again this year because they're the only teams that are actually playing consistantly good! But I hate the Lakers, so I'll be rooting for Boston again!

(sigh) It's gonna suck not being able to cheer for the Suns anymore. I'm gonna be really upset if they lose Nash and Amare because they are the only entertaining players!!

Well, sorry about that for all of you who actually did read this post to the very end because you're probably thinking I'm a FREAK! But "hey"!! I LOVE my Phoenix Suns and I HATE to see them lose, but it looks like their gonna be doing that a lot lately. But if there is one thing that Steve Nash can do is...MAKE ME ROLL ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING!! JUST WATCH THESE VIDEOS!!

The Curse of the Random Toilet Bunny!!
