Song of the day :)

Today's song of the day is Cage the Elephant's "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked"

I was curious as to why the band members had chosen "Cage the Elephant" to be their band name so I looked it up. It's actually a pretty interesting story. 

Why Cage the Elephant: "We were in Knoxville, Tennessee, hanging outside a club after a show-this is probably in 2006," remembers singer Matthew Shultz, "and we saw this guy with a shaved head and a long goatee yelling and screaming and talking to himself. I'm pretty sure he had some mental issues going on. He all of a sudden beelined towards us. Everyone jumped into our car and shut the doors. But I didn't make it into the car. I was stuck outside. I thought for sure the guy was gonna stab me or something, but then he came up to me and gave me a hug. The whole time he was saying, 'You have to cage the elephant, you have to cage the elephant.' Afterwards, I was like, 'We gotta name the band that.''

Still hooked!

So I know MIA has an awesome new album out Nov. 5th called Matangi, but I, for one, am still hooked on "Bucky Done Gun" from Arular!! Will never get over this song. EVER.

Hairdressers and the Power They Wield Over YOU

I'm currently reading a book called All Good Children, by Catherine Austen. I just had to share this hilarious quote from page 44. In this scene, the main character Maxwell is getting a haircut at a salon, and the hairdresser won't stop barraging him with questions and she refuses to proceed with the haircut until he answers them. Here is Maxwell's response to this situation: "I should tell Xavier that the field of hairdressing is wide open to him. It's a legal way to trap people in a chair and force them to listen to you for hours."Loving the book! 

Halloween Mood

I must really be in a spooky Halloween mood because I can't stop listening to Emilie Autumn's "Dead is the New Alive" (Manipulator Mix by Dope Stars)......

My favorite Snow Patrol song, "What if the Storm Ends." I think that a storm is a beautiful metaphor for love, don't you think?

Suicide - Che

I'm just going to pretend that I'm so awesome that I knew this song before it was used in the trialer for The Places Beyond The Pines. Yah that's a total lie...lol.
