Not Quite Alice, But Almost

After posting the "Top 10 Movie Songs", I decided that I shouldn't keep the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack to myself anymore. Consider yourselves lucky because I was going to keep it to myself, but I don't want to be seen as selfish. So as I have said before, Almost Alice is the soundtrack with songs adapted from Tim Burton's movie and Lewis Carroll's books.

1. 'Alice (Underground)' by Avril Lavigne
2. 'The Poison' by The All-American Rejects
3. 'The Technicolor Phase' by Owl City
4. 'Her Name Is Alice' by Shinedown
5. 'Painting Flowers' by All Time Low
6. 'Where's My Angel' by Metro Station
7. 'Strange' by Tokio Hotel and Kerli
8. 'Follow Me Down' by 3OH!3 featuring Neon Hitch
9. 'Very Good Advice' by Robert Smith
10. 'In Transit' by Mark Hoppus with Pete Wentz
11. 'Welcome to Mystery' by Plain White T's
12. 'Tea Party' by Kerli
13. 'The Lobster Quadrille' by Franz Ferdinand
14. 'Running Out of Time' by Motion City Soundtrack
15. 'Fell Down a Hole' by Wolfmother
16. 'White Rabbit' by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

All of these songs are original except for White Rabbit, which is originally performed by the band Jefferson Airplane. Have a listen of the soundtrack and let me know what you think!

Artist of the Month

I bet you guys are wondering, what happened to last week's song? Well, it would have been Fully Alive by Flyleaf but since I have not been able to get them out of my head for 4 weeks, why bot aake them artist of the month right? Soooo........CONGRATULATIONS TO FLYLEAF FOR BEING ARTIST OF THE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could give them a prize...oh well. So right nw I am listening to Cage the Elephant. I'm sure many of you guys have heard their song Ain't No Rest For the Wicked which is AH-mazing, but right now I'm listening to In One Ear and I'm debating over which one is better.

P.S. I'm writing this from our new iMac computer. It's really cool :)

Song of the Week 3/1

I have had many little music obsessions in the past, and I am happy to announce that Flyleaf has been added to the list....Im so mad. I actually wrote this post last night but it got erased so I forgot everything I wanted to say...Ok I remember a little! :) But first the song. This week's song is............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................I'm So Sick. Its really great and although it has a heavy sound (think wicked guitar riffs and screaming) I think that the fact that Lacey Mosley, the lead singer, is a girl, that it adds a little softness and kind of a balance. This song would probably fall under the gebre of screamo and may be described as emo but then, I havn't exactly been feeling like rainbows and butterflies either. This song says a lot; heres my favorite line:

This invasion
makes me feel
worthless hopeless
sick

Pretty sick right (no pun intended). This song may bring out some unwanted feelings but, in my case, it has sort of a calming affect too. So many mixed emtions!!!! That's music for ya though :)

Down the Musical Rabbit Hole

I cannot wait for Alice in Wonderland!!!! The wicked awesome (and my favorite)director/producer Tim Burton is showing his perspective of Lewis Carroll's book with a creepy, modern twist. Even more wicked than the movie is its soundtrack called Almost Alice. It comes out March 2 and I will be first in line to buy my copy! The songs on this album are inspired by the movie, so they're not actually going to be in it. And who could go wrong with artists like Avril Lavigne, Metro Station, and 3OH!3 putting their interpretation of the trippy movie into lyrical poetry?

RIP F.O.B.?

OMJ!!! Is it true!!! I just found out that Fall Out Boy has broken up, but it can't be true!!!! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!! Comment if you have any information.

Song of the Week 2/22

Paramore is filling up the spaces in my room, it's Playing God from their new album Brand New Eyes. As I have said before, I am faithfully and happily married to Incubus, but I am REALLY loving Flyleaf right now. Flyleaf is an American rock band from Texas. Some of you may remember their single All Around Me from their self titled debut album. This weeks song is from their second album, Memento Mori, which is a latin phrase meaning "be mindful of death" or my personal favorite "remember you will die". What a happy title!!!!!! Here's the song..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................This Close! I discovered it when my best friend posted this as her facebook status: "I've been looking through your window, I've been dressing in your clothes. I've been walking dead, watching you....long enough to know I can't go on. ♥ ♥ Flyleaf, your lyrics touch me. ♥ ". This caught my eye so I decided to download the song. Lacey Mosley starts off this song with a dream that she was dead but she pretended that she still lived. Its a little confusing but when she sings about looking in your window and all that, I think she means that, by beaing dead and intruding on this person, she's never felt so close to them before. I dont know, maybe lyrically amused can help me :)

All Apologies

Cool title right? :) I'm apologizing for not having blogged lately. I've been kind of lazy (which I won't be anymore) and also a little behind on homework, but thats high school for ya. So since I didn't anounce ast week's song: here goes...................................................................................................................................................................................................... It's Blah Blah Blah by Ke$ha!!! It was bound to get stuck in my head since I have to listen to it for an hour every ther day in dance class. It's a total party song, and I have to say Ke$ha is pretty vulgar with her lyrics, but it's great to dance to.




Music videos were made to give an image to the song (and a better understanding to the listener), but the image of this song left me confused. It's just Ke$ha's usual drunk and confusing party scene, but maybe you'd like this song better with you eyes closed.
