"It's a heart attack that you feel"- Tegan and Sara "sheets".
One of their better/best-est songs ever. I know i've written about this song before, but, it definitley bears repeating, GET IT NOOOOOOOOW!!!!!! It is awesome and wonderful, it brings up emotions, that The Cure, only wishes they could conjure. "Sheets" is soooooooo good, that, it shouldn't have been B-side, it should have been on "Sainthood" and it should have been the first and only single.
That song, could be a whole album, in and of itself, seriously, all they would have to do is make an album and call it "Sheets", put this ONE song on there and it would most definitley be the best thing ever, in the whole entire universe, better, than the holy grail, well, that song is, my, personal, holy grail, I looooooooove it and I will never get enough of it.
It's not my favorite song by them, that, will always be "The Ocean", but, "Sheets" it is definitley a VERY close 2nd.
All the things that I like to write about, if YOU dont like it then you're in the wrong place! :p

Man, I wanna be "Juno"
She, is/was soooooooooooooo COOL. Seriously, you wouldn't think a stereotypical teenager in an even more stereotypical indie movie could be so cool. But somehow juno found a way, and it wasn't cuz of Diablo Cody, it wasn't cuz of Ellen Page (although, she didn't hurt it), I can't put my finger on it, she isn't any different from anyone else i've ever met (really), ever. But, she was just cool. I can't explain it using words,but I'll try, she is the very embodiement of eveything that is wrong with the world, but, somehow, she makes it work, not only to her advantage, but to the advantage of everyone around her. It's as if she sub-conciously, knew and understood the universe, in it's entirety and then figured out the way the universe is supposed to work. She, then, conciously, found a way to make all pieces of life, that aren't supposed to fit together, actually, fit together, and then put them in perfect harmony with one another. She took, what would otherwise be chaos and despair, a never-ending hole of nothing, and made it something, how is that possible, tell me. I want to know. I want to understand, the un-understand-able in life, like "Juno". How did she do it? How can someone, make something out of the, literal, nothing that is, not only, suburbia, but, the general parts of life that can feel, also, exactly like suburbia (metaphorically speaking, of course). C'mon, it can't be hard, I mean, it's obviously not easy, but, it can't be too hard, there has to be a way to figure out what she figured out. Is it the little things? Like, the way a microwave burrito makes me feel? Is it, the big things, like hoping that seeing my favorite band in concert will forever change my outlook, not only on life, but, on everything, not just in general, but universally speaking, on everything? Seriously, this makes 0.00000000% sense. Well, I guess for the time being, it will be the happiness I get from a microwave burrito, when I really want 1, and listening to T&S and Imogen Heap/Frou Frou and Paramore, watching cartoons and wrestling, everybody has something, even it is the littlest, smallest spec of anything, you just gotta find what works for you. Well, anyways, the movie, is pretty awesome and I HIGHLY suggest it.
BTW "Juno" is also super cool cuz she knew how to ride a bike.

T&S "Sheets"
I absolutley LOOOOOOOVE that song. If you don't have it, go to fueledbyramen.com and pre-order the actual cd or go to iTunes and download it, it is super amazing, but, like I had said before, they DO always outdo themselve on every song that they release.
Seriously, my words do not and will never do them the proper justice they deserve, all I can do is let the public know about them, via this blog, it is, ultimatley, up to you, the reader, to decide whether or not to listen to them, if you think I'm an obssesive fan, you'll be an even bigger, even more rabid and even more obssesive fan, than me, after you listen to just ONE second of ONE song.
Don't believe me? Well, then you obviously, have never even listened to them, or you would know and understand what I am talking about. Just, STOP, stop reading this right now and GO, go listen to a song by T&S and, JUST, just try to deny their effect that they will undoubtably have on you and you're emotions.
They will, take the part of you're brain that focuses emotions and scoop it out, wash it thoroughly and then stretch it out, so much so, that you will feel emotions that you thought never even existed. Emotions, that were for most of recorded history thought to be non-existent, but they have discovered them and are using them, not only, to their own advantage, but to the advantage of humanity in general, without these emotions, we might as well be robots. The emotions we thought we felt before were nothing compared to the T&S induced emotions, one feels when they hear T&S, not just "hear", but when one actually listens to them. So, GO LISTEN, FEEL, and enjoy, you can thank me later.

T&S "Songs for Christoff"
Yes, greatest cd ever! Just listen to "When I Get Up" and try not to feel. any sort of emotion, definitley, their greatest song, on that particular cd. Of course the cd can only be found in either bootleg or torrent forms, but I highly suggest getting it.
Some of the songs on there, are from UFLO, but, that's cuz at that moment in time UFLO wasn't as widely available as it is now, and not only that, but, the "Songs For Christoff" cd was put together by fans for fans, so it's basically a mix tape of bootleged songs and recorded. It is simply amazing, GET IT NOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PARAMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, Paramore, I know all of you, all zero of you, followers of my blog, know that Tegan and Sara is and always will be my all time favorite band, but, Paramore, just has something about them. It's hard to explain, but, I will try.
They just seem to make me happy, I can't listen to them and be sad. Try it, and you will see that it IS impossible to be sad whilst listening to them. Seriously, no other band makes me feel, the happiness, I feel when listening to Paramore. It's like they carry me past cloud 9 and on to a whole 'nother cloud, not even a cloud, a space where there's nothing but happy things. Little smiley faces rain down, instead of hail and other hurtful objects, and instead of sad things, it's all banana splits and Mountain Dew slushee rivers, with, Popsicles instead of fish, ewwwww fish.
Yes, Paramore is just that good. If you, still, don't believe me, then you are, obviously, not of this world, and you are robot and do not feel emotions.
Paramore is super AWESOME, I know, their obviously not better than T&S, But, they are a very close second. So, c'mooooooooooooooon, just give 'em a listen and try not to be swept away to a whole 'nother universe where it's nothing but happy.

It's been 6 days, so, yeah, it's been too long without a T&S related post.
Well, I am currently listening to "Don't Rush" from their latest, non remix, cd-"Sainthood".
So, yeah, they are still the best band ever. But, "Don't Rush" doesn't even come close to "The Ocean", but, it is still awesome, but, how could any song from/by them ever suck, in any way, shape or form? The Answer is easy, no song from/by them, will, never EVER suck!
But, some songs are a little less AWESOME than others, like, "Are you Ten Years Ago?" on "The Con" is good, but, not great, but it's not, like, I skip it when it comes on, I still listen to it with just as much enthusiasm as when I hear "The Ocean", I'm just saying that some of their songs are a little less AWESOME than others, it doesn't mean, that I don't LOOOOOOVE a certain, less AWESOME, song, any more than I do, a super AWESOME song.
I just feel that some songs could have been better when compared to others, I guess that's true of most, anything, in general, but T&S have proven themselves as the GREATEST band EVER, in the whole, enitre universe. So, yeah, they have nowhere to go but up, it's just that instead of making some songs less awesome, just make the song that goes after a super AWESOME song better than the one that preceded it, c'moooooon, I know they can do it, they've already proven they could with "If It Was You" and "So Jealous", but, "The Con" just seemed to lack something for me, not in a bad way, in a good way, like, "it can only get better from here" kind of way. And it did, with the release of "Sainthood".
So, yeah, the remix cd of "Alligator" was a half step up, but I expect nothing but the best with their next and subsequent future releases.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T&S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tegan and Sara!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
I have seen them, all of, one time. Because they have been to Houston once before and, so far, it is my all time favorite concert, The Imogen Heap concert is a very close second, though. But, tegan and Sara never dissapoint. I have been to a fair amount of concerts and a lot of them have been quite dissapointing. But, that, is probably, because I compare every concert I have ever been to and will go to, to the ONE Tegan and Sara concert I've been to. It's quite unfair, I know, to compare concerts, put on by bands, I only, kind of, like, to my all time favorite band. But, I can't help it, Tegan and Sara always leave me feeling soooooooooooo happy, whether I'm seeing them live or just listening to them on iTunes. I can't help but make comaparisons between the ONE Tegan and Sara concert I've been to, and all the other concerts I have ever been to, The ONE Tegan and Sara concert I went to, so far, retro-actively destroyed all other concerts I've been to and then destroyed any other concert I would later go to. I saw that they were coming back to Houston, well, The Woodlands, rather, and I had already bought tickets to other concerts that, I was, kind of, excited about, but then I saw that TEGAN and SARA, were coming back and decided to go on a concert "fast". I did not want anything to taint my second T&S experience. I have to be "pure" when I see them again, so that I soak up the full experience, in the correct way. I cannot be sore from, mosh pits, when I see T&S, again. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE T&S and nothing will stop me from seeing them again, I know that it will be the BEST concert ever and I cannot wait for the oppurtunity to hear "The Ocean" live, AWESOME!

Why Sara Bareilles will save rock' n' roll and our souls.
She will save us all, it's true, don't believe me? Have I ever steared you wrong before? Did you DL all those T&S songs, you did? Wasn't I right, aren't they awesome? Well, now listen to Sara Bareilles's new song "Queen of Anything" try to deny her, she is awesome, her songs are happy and uplifting, I just listen to her and I'm the happiest I've ever been, even if I've heard everything she has ever done a bazillion times before, she never gets old. I could be having the worst day in the history of the world, worse than Sarah Conner's day in Terminator part 1. But, then, I listen to good ol' Sara Bareilles, and I get happy. A terminator could be trying to kill ME, but as long as I got Sara Bareilles cd, I'll be happy all throughout the ordeal. She can make anyone happy, all she has to do is make a song, any song, she could make a 2 hr long song and it'll still be awesome. But, of course, she will never be as AWESOME as T&S, obviously!

T&S "Alligator" remix cd, best remix cd ever!!!!!! Yes, even than better than Daft Punk's "Daft Club"
Seriously, don't even try to argue the FACT, that T&S is the greatest band ever! Even their remix cd, is awesome! Yes, their remix cd, wut would be just a "phone in" for most bands, while they are on "hiatus" or touring, is another feat of tremendous proportions for T&S. They always out do themselves with each release. They have never released anything that I have not LOOOOOOOOVED, and they never will, each release just continues to "one up" the previous release, and their "Alligator" remix cd is no exception, even though they didn't actually remix the song themselves, the remixes are still awesome, and they prove that they know the best "remixers" in the buisness, every remix is than better than the last and each one makes the song sound like a completley different song, than what it was originally. Seriously, don't believe me? Just DL it for yourself and have a listen, you fall completley in love with not only Tegan and Sara, but, the song "Alligator" as well. Then you will find yourself DL'ing everything they have ever done and you will love it, try it, just DL one of their songs and try not to LOOOOOOOOVE it, anyone of their songs, just pick one at random, I guarantee you will LOOOOOOOOOOOVE it and them as a consequnce, it will be money well spent and the most fun you will have spending money!

Part 2: Twilight still sucks!
Seriously?! You're a werewolf! One of the, if not the, most gruesome, animalistic creature in mythylogical history. So, yeah, you got stiff competition to live up to. You can't be, just running around being all emo and gay, you gotta be a "bad" dude, not a "girl-baby". You can't run around in ,DAISY DUKES?! All day. Not only is it the daisy dukes, but the fact that you only hang out with other dudes, and they also wear nothing but daisy dukes. SERIOUSLY, dude, get it together, you are a WEREWOLF, so act like one. Don't go cliff diving with you're homo-erotic "wolf pack". Run around, raise hell, be a WEREWOLF, for cheese sakes! Adam Lambert would be a better werewolf than you, he's not afraid to embrace his innerself and he's a giant "girl baby"! All you do is sit in your room and sleep and cry, then you go hang out with you're "wolf pack". The term wolf pack is in quotes because within the context of the 2nd movie (Which is the only one I saw and the only one I will see, I refuse to see the others) I use it loosely. Just get your act together stop being all "emo" all the time, stop hanging out with crazy girls that go all catatonic when their first boyfriend leaves them (That will be part 3, but, it fits in with this explanation as well.) Be a WEREWOLF! C'MON! Slaughter the innocent bystanders, go on the prowl at night, only change on full moons, stay true to the stereotype. Just watch the "Wolfman" (original and remake) and "An American Werewolf in London" then you will understand what it is to be a WEREWOLF! Not wussy, "girl baby" werewolf, but a "bad" dude werewolf. C'mon, you could/can protect your crazy chick better if you just let you're inner werewolf, just, take over.
