Accidentally Hilarious.

I enjoy art, and music. I believe in doing passionate in-the-heat-of-the-moment acts for your craft. But one thing I will never understand or partake in is guitar smashing. I don't think that would be a very wise or fun thing to do, especially now that I am a guitar owner. I wish that my mind had a record button, so that I could press record and keep track of all the thoughts that bounce in my head and play them back so that I can write them down here. Stream-of-consciousness is a funny and interesting thing. "Kaleidoscope Heart" is officially my drive-to-Appleton soundtrack. I think I listened to "Let the Rain" about 10 times consecutively tonight. Driving on 41-North at night is a curious thing. Imagine driving down a road, only being able to see silhouettes of trees and signs ahead of you, but the road in front of you seems to taper off and disappears into the darkness. You feel as though you're going to drive off a cliff at any moment, but you don...

I just went on an iTunes binge. Here's what I got: "Doo Wops and Hooligans" - Bruno Mars "Live at Soho" - Sara Bareilles "What the Hell" (single) - Avril Lavigne "Born This Way" (single) - Lady Gaga "Hold It Against Me" (single) - Britney Spears "S&M" (single) - Rihanna "Bottoms Up" (single) - Trey Songz "Fuck You" (single) - Cee Lo Green "Far" - Regina Spektor I was tempted to get Weird Al's "Essentials" collection album....but I refrained.  All right. So let me explain myself a little bit here. Bruno Mars Do I even need to explain? I wasn't a huge fan of "Just the Way You Are" at first, because it was OVERPLAYED. Holy crap. But it was so cute, and it made me want a boy to sing those words to me. And then "Grenade" came out, and that's exactly what it was. A grenade. That's how it hit me anyway. What a fabulous song. It...

So, here I sit, watching the news with my parents, feeling slightly dejected due to the results of the election that took place this 2nd day of November, 2010. I feel slightly dejected due to other recent events, bu t I won't go into great detail about that. To help me cope with this recent misfortune, I've turned to my good friend, music. A few months ago, while randomly searching the music section of Best Buy, I bought Sara Bareilles' new album, Kaleidoscope Heart . I enjoyed her first album, but when I put this record in my CD player, my ears exploded with pure, unadulterated musical bliss. This record is incredible. Although all the songs are great in their own right, my favorite tracks are "The Light," "Basket Case," and "Let the Rain," which fall right next to each other on the album, and also the title song "Kaleido scope Heart" gave me an eargasm when I first listened to it, and I'll admit, I still eargasm when I hear it....
