If It Kills Me

We’ve already established that I’m totally obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance. This isn’t news. However, tonight I was very pleasantly surprised by the episode that popped up in my TiVo. Apparently Season 6 starts next week (hooray!) and as a segway into that, Nigel Lythgoe came on and hosted a show with his 15 favorite dances. Basically it was his top 5 per season.

There were some classics I had forgotten about:

*Courtney and Mark dancing to “The Garden”, choreographed by Sonya – it was so strange, but that’s why I LOVED it (watch)

*Neil and Sabra dancing to “Sweet Dreams”, as choreographed by Mandy Moore (watch)

As well as classics I hadn’t forgotten about:

*Kayla and Kipono dancing Mia Michels piece on addiction to “Gravity” (watch)

*Mark and Chelsea dancing to “Bleeding Love” as choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon (watch)

But of course my favorite routine of this season was with Jeanine and Jason, dancing to Jason Mraz‘s “If It Kills Me”. OMG so beautiful. And passionate. And everything else. Definitely glad it made it into the top 15:

MJ

Omg I can’t believe Michael Jackson died! A mobile post will hardly do him justice but I felt like I had to say something about it. Just when he had managed to successfully lay low for an extended period of time and not get publicity for all of the weird things that was Michael Jackson, and just when there was talk of a 2010 comeback tour, he drops dead. At only 50 years old that makes it even more of a tragedy. I must say I am truly shocked and saddened by this event. It was truly NOT the email I had expected to read from J this morning.

I have had his songs in my head all day.

“Billie Jean is not my lover….She’s just a girl who says that I am the one …But the kid is not my son”

Farewell MJ.

New Toy

I just received a totally AWESOME gift this weekend….the purple iPod Nano!!! I already have so many songs and CDs on my iTunes, but now I am compulsively uploading all my other CDs so my new iPod can have a complete music compilation. It’s taking forever but I don’t care. Plus I’m sure I’ll appreciate my efforts later this summer when I’m on one of my many plane rides. This totally rocks!! :)

 

Thanks J ♥

Manson

Lately I’ve been on a Marilyn Manson kick. I’ve always loved him and own most of his albums, but I’ve just been in the mood for some angry music lately. And what could be better than some Marilyn Manson? I definitely also appreciate that the Circus tour included Manson’s cover of Sweet Dreams. Fucking GREAT!

He has a new album coming out May 26, We’re from America. It’s gonna be great. He’s touring, and there is a very large piece of me that wants to find a show this summer, but there’s also an equal sized part of me that is scared of what might transpire at a Marilyn Manson concert. It will be under consideration for the time-being!

Summertime

As summer quickly approaches, I find myself getting more and more excited. Of course I have that totally awesome trip to go on, but to make it extra sweet I’m going to at least 5 different concerts. It’s going to be fantastic!!

Of course there’s Miss Britney and her Circus, a local radio station summer music festival (well I don’t know about festival, but it’s going to be spectacular),  No Doubt, 311, and this just in – Green Day just announced a tour! If I can find the funds I’m also going to add Tool, Kings of Leon, and Metallica to that list. I can’t freaking wait!! :)

If anyone hears of any others, I’m probably down. Some of these are road trips, so clearly I’m willing to make the drive to see an awesome band!

Cool Beatbox

I’m definitely a fan of Canon in D, and this is a pretty cool version

Know Your Enemy

Green Day just released their first single off their new album, 21st Century Breakdown, which comes out May 15. The single is called Know Your Enemy and even though I’ve only heard it like twice, I’m already in love with it. I’m SUPER excited for the new album!

Concerts

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a huge concert fan. I’ll pretty much go anywhere within a day’s drive to see a good show. As such, I’m ecstatic about the tickets I just bought to No Doubt. It’s only the first of many concerts lined up for this summer…talk about a great summer vacation!! Less exciting, but exciting nonetheless, I’m taking my sister to Britney Spears in the near future. She’s not my first choice of singers to listen to, but a good show is worth it. And I hear she puts on a good show. I’m also looking forward to seeing my sister’s reaction – somehow that child has failed to ever attend a concert in her almost 22 years of life. It’s such a shame. Or maybe I’m just a concert whore? lol

Careless Whisper

I love this band Seether, and they recently did a cover of Wham!’s “Careless Whisper”. It’s fantastic and I can’t stop listening to it. Repeat is dangerous! I highly recommend checking it out

*******

I feel so unsure
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
as the music dies, something in your eyes
calls to mind the silver screen
and all its sad good-byes

I’m never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I’ve been given
so I’m never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there’s no comfort in the truth
pain is all you’ll find

I’m never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I’ve been given
so I’m never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we’d want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who’s gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I’m never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I’ve been given
so I’m never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you
