Favorite Song Of The Week

I really don't have a specific song thats been at the top of my iPod rotation as of late, (other than Razia's Shadow in its entirety), but The Cab is always fun to jam too. And after rediscovering their album, Whisper War, this song is definitely one of my favorites. And it's hard to choose one favorite out of a whole album of amazingness.

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS:

That 70's Song
by: The Cab


And lately I've been walking
From all these places that I cannot stand
I guess it's just my history talking
Now I'm refusing to supply your demands

You say the storm will pass
We'll work it out
The roads can get a little rough sometimes
I'm moving fast without a doubt
Our hearts will beat in separate rooms tonight
But tonight

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we belong alone
I've got another you at home
Baby, we belong alone, alone

And lately you've been knocking
But I never really listened or cared
'Cause when I told you I was walking
I was reeling her in with my stare

You say the storm will pass
We'll work it out
The roads can get a little rough sometimes
I'm moving fast without a doubt
Our hearts will beat in separate rooms tonight
But tonight

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we belong alone
I've got another you at home
Baby, we belong alone, alone

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we belong alone
I've got another you at home

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we belong alone
I've got another you at home
Baby, we belong alone, alone

P.S. Just to let you know how dyslexic I am today, it took me more than 7 tries to type "cab" because I was typing it "bac"

Happy One Month Until Twilight!

The countdown shall now commence. Oh, and there's a Twilight Soundtrack Preview going on at Hot Topics around the country this Friday, October 24th. 7 p.m. I do believe. I'll see all of those obsessed in my general vicinity there on Friday!

How many days until Twilight?
31 days

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Get To Know You - Remedy Drive

Do You Have Something To Confess?

Hmm...what a task at hand. Blogging. Life is bleak these days, much like the weather.

But, I went to another Remedy Drive concert! Numero cuatro! I knew there was a reason I've never skipped most of their songs. Not to mention the fact that they take up several spots on my list of most played songs...

Media from the concert, for your enjoyment.

There...a little something for everyone. Maybe a video too...

NEVER MIND

Oh I don't know...what else is there to talk about other than an awesome concert? Not much, that's the answer. How about school? Join the crowd, everyone's doing it.

Geometry's going great. Everyone loves a good scalene triangle (but what is it congruent to? What postulate proves that?). We have a student teacher for this unit. She's pretty much a horrible teacher. I understand that she's a STUDENT teacher, but really. Just let Mr. Foss teach. I'm passing with flying colors...by the way. Espanol. Always fun. I can almost speak sentences fluently. That is, only if I want to know what time you have lunch. (A la ahora tiene el almuerzo? [I think...]). Oh, chemistry...today we burned things. Like soap. And sugar. It was smelly. That's about all you need to know about chemistry, other than it is the only class I have a B in (*fumes* It's destroying my spotless GPA). Psychology is always the highlight of my day. Everyone should take it, especially if they want their faces to be melted off by the sheer amazingness. Today Mr. Aukerman made another Edward Norton reference. It's really starting to freak me out. It's like he knows... Following the highlight of my purgatory in hell, I meet the devil herself. Klawonn. Most people don't refer her as Mrs, either. Trust me, it's not just me... We've been assigned a cute little one month project this week, which is lovely. I'd rather not rant about that now, since there will probably be many more in the future. I have an A though! And to finish the day, I have Modern Civilization. Everyone needs a little history once and awhile, right? Plus I have another cool teacher, so that makes life easier.

Well that was a great little paragraph, huh? I feel quite accomplished, actually. But for something more interesting...



Fall Out Boy's new album Folie à Deux has been POSTPONED! TO DECEMBER! What a horrible thing, right? The three released songs, I Don't Care, Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet, and What A Catch, Donnie are amazing. I suggest everyone gets them from wherever they buy/illegally download mp3's. Also, iTunes was doing a fancy-schmancy little "Countdown to Folie à Deux" where they release something new almost every week until the old release date, which was November 4 (that's why they postponed it, because they decided they didn't want to release it on Election Day). Hopefully, those smarties at Apple won't notice and will continue to release things until everyone just has the whole album. By the way, it is now being released on December 16, 2008. How nice of them to release it two days before my birthday...

RAZIA'S SHADOW! Always on the fringes of my brain waves. I just got an e-mail today, saying it is preparing to be shipped, which is very exciting. 11 days to wait!

Twilight (the movie) is ever so quickly approaching now, as well. 35 days. Not that I'm counting. But I've had enough rants about vampire books for my own good, so I'll keep this one simple. The soundtrack also comes out soon. November 4, ironically. They're not afraid of politics, it seems. Vampires could kill 'em all...

Well, it seems I've run out of things to talk about, and my video hasn't even begun uploading. Forget that then.

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Breaking - Anberlin

"Pull those traveling pants out of your bottom drawer and come join the sisterhood."

I need to have a pack stain remover pens on my person at all times.

Last night, Jordynn and I went and saw Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street the musical at the Washington Pavilion, and it was there that I had a little incident during intermission...Red wine is awfully...red... So there was this guy who had a full glass of red wine in his hand, and for whatever reason I wasn't looking where I was walking and ran straight into him. Nonetheless, I'm glad I wear more black than I should. This guy certainly wasn't as emo as I though, for his nice WHITE button-up shirt lost the battle with the red wine. He was NOT happy. He didn't use his indoor voice... Oh well, there were a lot of richie-riches at this shindig, so he can just go buy a new $95 shirt and $15 glass of wine and get over himself. I still feel bad though, I was just waiting for him to come rampaging through the Great Hall, mass-murdering his way to get to me. My paranoia was not helped by the fact that we were at SWEENEY TODD. Which was great, by the way.

In non-Melanie-accident-related news, and in the light of another musical, Forgive Durden continues to blow my mind. They (or I should say Thomas Dutton, since everyone else walked out of the band), have a new album (but it's not really an album at all), coming out at the end of this month. It's called Razia's Shadow: A Musical. Several singers from other bands play characters in the plot:

• O The Scientist - Casey Crescenzo (The Dear Hunter)
• Bawaba Brothers - John Baldwin Gourley (Portugal. The Man), Kris Anaya (An Angle)
• Narrator - Aaron Weiss (mewithoutYou)
• Gargul The Oracle - Danny Stevens (The Audition)
• Toba the Tura - Chris Conley (Saves The Day)
• Sangara - Daniel Young (This Providence)
• Barayas The Spider - Max Bemis (Say Anything)
• Princess Anhura - Greta Salpeter (The Hush Sound)
• Pallis - Brendon Urie (Panic At The Disco)
• King Malka - Nic Newsham (Gatsbys American Dream)
• Doctor Dumaya - Shawn Harris (The Matches)
• Nidria - Lizzie Huffman (Man in the Blue Van)
• Adakias - Thomas Dutton (Forgive Durden)
• Ahrima - Thomas Dutton (Forgive Durden)

Everyone should go check it out at the ALBUM WEBSITE. There, you can see illustrations of the characters and hear clips of their parts. It's really quite amazing. Also, you can pre-order Razia's Shadow for only $12 at the Fueled By Ramen Store and you get the special edition, with the script in everything. I've pre-ordered mine, and I'm very excited. The first single, Life Is Looking Up, is also available wherever you get music from. It's really cool, and I may or may not be listening to it right now...

Well, I think I've advertised that enough for one day, so onto something else.

I hope I don't fail my Literary Analysis for English...I turned it in at Turnitin and it said I plagerized 8% of it without quotes from To Kill A Mockingbird. I didn't plagerize though, so this worries me. And since the school district only accepts a maximum of 3%...

School gets me down, so forget that.

Uh...REMEDY DRIVE. They're coming again! I'm pumped! October 15th, I'll see you there! Also, in much bigger news, the Plain White T's are coming to the Expo Building on the 18th of November with Meg & Dia and The Cab. IT'S HUGE! Bands suddenly like our humble, lifeless town!

More advertising. Wow. I should look into being a telemarketer...

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Belong With You - Remedy Drive
P.S. Anberlin's new album, New Surrender rocks!
