Sometimes We Sync Our Youtubes & Let the Good Times Roll

LiLi and I are so normal. I can’t even begin to tell you how normal we are. We were in a mad gchat yesterday, discussing ways we plan to conquer the world, when this little gem from Sam was posted:

And, like the completely normal fangirls we are, we synced our videos and watched the video together. And oh yes, we may or may not have chatted all of our reactions. And yes, I am going to post that chat below. Cause I rule like that! Read the rest of this entry

Death by Marcus. It’s a Good Way to Go. Join Us!

Stalkeresque Google Alerts strike again!! And this, my friends, may have been the very best gift of all.

COMMUNION BELFAST 12.9.10 / MARCUS FOSTER / Cir…, posted with vodpod

Um… you dead? Cause the first time I watched, I was dead. My favorite Marcus song. A full band. Lots of close ups of the super expressive face. Yep. Dead.

And I kind of love that Marcus apparently blew out the microphones when they recorded this. Amateurs. You gotta be ready for Marcus and that voice. It will shock and awe you baby! Shock. And. Awe.

For all you hardcore Marcus peeps (you know, like Pange) I’m gonna tell you what to watch out for. The line “Beast that feeds off a million dreams.” Right after that, Marcus does this pause. I don’t know how you can completely stop  singing and still have me completely in love. But he does it. Srsly. I watched those few seconds after that line more then should be considered normal.

Here Communion thought they weren’t necessarily giving Marcus enough love cause of some issues with the sound on the video, but I say this. Communion, you just made all of our day!

By the way, be sure and actually visit the blog this video is posted on. There are tons of other amazing videos by killer artists that you will love. #trust

[ LiLi edit-- uh....YES.  There are a ton of vids for your watching enjoyment, i.e. avoiding work.  I mean, if you are into goodness like Mt. Desolation, Pete Roe and The National.  Just sayin.... ;) ]

Bobby on Fearless! And further proof we are the worst #fangirls EVA!

As probably all of you know, Bobby was on Fearless Radio Monday doing a kick ace interview, playing some tunes and all around being his typical awesome self. Cause that is what he does. #duh

Download (yes, I said DOWNLOAD, as in you can put it on your iPod and listen FOREVER!) at Fearless Radio!

Unfortunately, real life has been kicking both me and LiLi’s behind lately, and, um, we haven’t gotten to listen yet. We are SO going to, as soon as either of us can stick our heads up out of the water for more then 3.25 seconds and breathe. So, in the mean time we decided you all should listen to it, write a brief summary (500 words or less) on what Bobby said and be sure to include at least 3 quotes that equate awesomeness from the Bobster.

Please and thank you!

Oh, can’t forget this! Best summary gets a superly awesome prize… this VIDEO of Bobby on Fearless!

Wait, I guess I shouldn’t have given you the prize before you did the homework. DAMN!

::sigh:: I’m Missing Marcus.

Is anyone else missing Marcus right now?

::sigh::

I know he is off recording an album (with a band no less, SQUEE), and he has a few shows scheduled over across the pond, but man, I may go into withdrawals very soon. I mean, even though I fangirl hardcore at his shows and quite possibly embarass myself every time, I can’t wait to do it again!

Good news for some of you, your withdrawals are ending soon. Are you on the list?

Yeah, me neither. So, let’s pine for Marcus together, and admire his “hobo” ways. Hey! He said it, not me! Okay, I’ve said it before but not today. Not while I’m pining away!

P.S. I really love this song. Like, bunches.

Are you following SoS on Twitter?! Why not?!?!? Do it today, and as soon as I hear that Marcus has added some more dates, I will tell you.

We will get through these hard times. Let’s hold hands and listen to Circle in the Square and dream of short pants and sculpting.

Mix Tape Monday: Elizabeth & the Catapult

featuring…

Elizabeth & the Catapult

Source: MySpace.com

If you got out to see Sam on his concert tour this past fall, then you may have already heard (and fell in love with) Elizabeth & the Catapult. I know both LiLi and I did. They are truly an amazing live act to see!

The songs are catchy and fun to sing along with, and if you don’t make Momma’s Boy your official girl anthem, something may be wrong with you. The CD Taller Children has had some prime time in my CD player in my car, and I pretty much got every song memorized. Plus, look at that picture. Is Elizabeth not cute as a button?!?

And it wasn’t just by chance that we choose Elizabeth and the Catapult to be the first band in our new feature, Mix Tape Monday. Today they also released a music video for one of my (and LiLi’s) fave songs on the album, “Race You.”

Watch it and love it, after the jump! (Video autostarts) Read the rest of this entry
