Exam Week Playlist Pt I

Just a random collection of songs I came across while studying:

1. Wake Up - The Arcade Fire

It's the theme song from Where The Wild Things Are!

2. Strict Machine - Goldfrapp

For Boogying down while cranking out those difficult mortgage calculations...
3. The Reeling - Passion Pit

My cell phone rang and it reminded me of the song...
4. Molly's Chambers - Kings of Leon

A classic Kings song sure to make even the lousiest of subjects bearable.

5. Sour Times - Portishead

A really cool, chill song that came up on Pandora

6. Uprising - Muse

My new favorite Muse song. Came on AltNation on SiriusXM on the way back from the office.

7. Destroy Everything You Touch - Ladytron

Another groovy song to jam out to whilst whittling away a bond valuation.

8. Cousins - Vampire Weekend

The new Vampire Weekend CD comes out on January 12th. This is the first single off of that album

9. Animal - Miike Snow

Another one of my current favorite tracks. There are a TON of awesome remixes to this song by various DJs most of which are definitely worth a second listen.

10. So Happy I Could Die - Lady Gaga

Don't Judge....

11. Sleepyhead - Passion Pit

Another Passion Pit classic. Seriously trippy, but with a smooth beat that keeps your foot tapping, whether with the rhythm or not seriously depends on how much caffeine you have ingested.

12. Even If It Kills Me - Motion City Soundtrack

The namesake of their last cd, this song's story-like lyrics and mildly paced melody makes it a perfect for your exam week playlist.

13. Hands - The Almost

They sound like they could be cousins with Jimmy Eats World...

14. Rock With You - Michael Jackson

What study playlist is complete without the king of pop??

15. Earth - Imogen Heap

Off her new CD, Ellipse. My new favorite Immy song. Go buy the album! I preordered the iTunes deluxe version and couldn't be happier!

That's all for tonight. More to come later on this week...

Holy Cow! Urban Outfitters Introduces Music Mondays!

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy!

Now, I haven't listened to it yet seeing as how I'm stuck in my Real Estate Appraisal class, BUT, I have exceptionally high hopes. Win.

This is Just Plain Silly...

Two Things:

1. I wish I could snowboard

2. (Holding that wish # 1 comes true) I wish I could do THIS!

Rolled pant legs...

Too Much??

Opinions Please...

I like this look. I'm just really pasty, not wearing slim fit khakis, & therefore I'm afraid I look like a dolt, or at least like I'm trying to hard... It may also very well be that my khakis are too light colored. Well at least the Top Siders look like they belong!

Random Time Wasting Websites...

Here are a bunch of awesome, time wasting, websites for your amusement.

1. Texts From Last Night

Basically people submit texts that they have received to this website, if they are funny/appalling enough they get posted. The website is updated almost constantly, so I'm always reading them. Needless to say, none of my texts have ever been posted...

2. Awkward Family Photos

I love this website. It's a hilarious compilation of submitted awkward family photos, hence the name. It's updated pretty much daily so put it in your RSS feed.

3. People of Wal-Mart

Another hilarious website - How many times have you been to Wal-Mart and thought to yourself, "Holy Mother... that person's car/outfit is RIDICULOUS!" Well the creators of this website took it a step further and took pictures of these outrages Wally World patrons in their Sunday Best... Or finest hunting garb... Or Meth Head chic attire... Also updated frequently, it's definitely worth putting in the RSS feed.

The Next Preppy Thing To Hit A Campus Near You...

Please let me be the first to forecast this now:

Tucker Blair Needlepoint Accessories will be the next big "must have" on college campuses in the Southeast and Northeast.

Tucker Blair's Website

Above is a picture of their website. Tucker Blair has needlepoint belts, headbands, flip-flops, and key fobs. They do all their sales online, so don't plan on snagging anything Tucker Blair off shelves at Saks any time soon, but apparently they do it this way to save us (the poor college student shopper) big bucks. The patterns they have are fun and classic, much like that of Vineyard Vines, but less in your face (sometimes Vineyard Vines ties come close to sending me into seizures).

Griffin's Pick? The Bow-Tie & Champagne Needlepoint belt:

Needlepoint Belt - Bow-tie & Champagne

Like I said, classic, not too in-your-face, and fun. I can wear this out on the range, at the office, or out at night. I'm seriously just waiting to get paid so I can purchase this snazzy accessory I'm sure I'll have for a long, long time.

So, guys and dolls, Do yourselves a favor, Be an early-adopter and buy yourself a sweet belt, headband - or - dog collar (yeah, you heard me).

Fun fact: Tucker Blair isn't a real person, just a couple of family names the founder pieced together.

Mega thanks go out to Taylor Llewellyn for finding me (somehow) on Twitter.

Can't wait to see what all is to come for you guys in the future (aside from my order)!

I'm Constantly Finding Myself Yessing Too Hard...

Props to Simmons for showing this to me:

Nota Bene:
