Dance Anthem of the 80's by Regina Spektor

With no fear of overstating my case, I hereby claim that today was the best I've felt on a first day of school since I arrived in Singapore a couple of years back. I won't even bother explaining why cause I'm lazy. But here's a happy tune for you to bob your head to with a small plastic radio anyway. And apparently, this is best done on the street in front of your house.

( You are so sweet dancing to that beatCollapse )

Love Hangover by Kidz in the Hall

Gaga was in town last night and I am disappointed by the fact that I was not there to verify the existence of his/her "peener". Even though it's probably a big publicity stunt — or is it? — I am still valiantly pushing for the motion to rename him/her Sir Gaga. That is all. And now for an unrelated song that's been popping up on the iPod a lot. I had no idea Estelle was on this until I saw the video.

Rome by Phoenix

Today isn't my first day of school — that would be next week — but it was for pretty much everyone else I know around these parts. So naturally, I was compelled to go school-hopping. From my travels I surmised that the ground floor of the NUS Central Library has a Roman Colosseum feel to it. And that is my brilliant segue to this song:

Hospital Beds by Florence and the Machine

I have yet to snag Lungs off the internets but from the couple of songs I do have, I gotta say I like her voice. It's got that oomph that doesn't piss me off — take notes, Beyoncé. Well this song here's a Cold War Kids cover that you won't be able to find on the album. It's the voice, I say. EDIT: Watch this and wait for the end. It's genius.

( Joy and miseryCollapse )

To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra

At the end of next week, I'll be moving out of my humble apartment, thrusting myself back into the familiar reality of hostel life. Though my past experiences of 6PM curfews and sausage fests have all but dashed my hopes for The American Dream Dorm, I figure this new chapter in my life as a foreign student can't be all that bad considering that A) I'll be living just steps away from the total annihilation of all income, Orchard Road, and B) It's college, baby! How can this not be fun? Now, I leave you with a song that is remotely related to housing. And if you're gonna ask, I have no idea why the video is so... artsy. But I can tell you that yes, he did carry her all the way from the hospital. It was far, far away.

( And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust.Collapse )

Walkin' on the Moon by The-Dream

I'm flying back to Singafun tomorrow and I sure wouldn't mind having a Millennium Falcon as a ride. Take it away with the shitastic video! Way to phone it in, Mr. West.



( Hit my runway, and let's take off and flyCollapse )
