Day Nine: A Song I Can Dance To

So, last night's Glee was rather epic, as promised. I think it's a really good show. Besides having really good music, and the fact that they can make most songs sound good; some even better than they actually are *coughcough Justin Bieber's Somebody To Love, coughcough*. That's with the exception of Friday. I still hate that song. Even when Glee covered it. It's still horrible. Always will be.

Anyway, today's topic is... a song I can dance to. Like I said, there's many, many songs I can dance to very easily. When I go out with my friends, I dance to whatever the DJ plays. Except for Justin Bieber. That results in us sitting in the middle of the floor and refusing to move until the song ends.

I'd say one of the very best ones, the one I can not possibly sit still for would be Shake It by Metro Station! They've broken up now which really, really sucks, but they have good songs. Well, Seventeen Forever and Shake It anyway. I haven't heard the others. Here's the video, for those of you who haven't yet seen it in the three years its been out:

Shake It- Metro Station

It's funny.... it's actually not utterly easy for me to name a particular song, just the one, out of all the songs that I can dance to. I have loved this song since it came out, and I was wishing that I had it ever since. Then last year, I bought a CD with it on it, and I was finally content. Until, of course, another several incredible songs were released by amazing artists and my quest began again.

Anyway, I'm going to leave you all with a question- I am going to go and find a duck when I'm in New Zealand, and I plan on naming it. One slight problem... I don't have a name. Gather your friends, parents, everyone, and think up your coolest duck names and post them in the comments box here...↓anyways, tomorrow I will name a song that makes me fall asleep... yeah, right. As if any particular song makes me fall asleep.... I have an idea for it though. I'll explain tomorrow night!

I Love My Alternative Bands....

Sorry about the lack of posting lately, guys! I’ve been at parties, doing assignments and researching the hottest unsigned guy bands around!

To start with, though, I’d like to mention that my favourite band of at least three years now, Short Stack, have finally released their latest music video to accompany a song off This Is Bat Country [their latest album], Heartbreak Made Me a Killer at 9am on Friday (just to annoy their school-aged fans, haha)! I like the new video, apart from the lack of Bradie's face and that he cut his hair. I liked how Planets and We Dance to a Different Disco, Honey were connected by the alien girl, as were the older ones by the rabbit costumes, craziness and immaturity; this one was very different and much more mature. Not my absolute favourite, but it was still awesome. 5 ninja stars!!

And now for the latest unsigned talent I’ve come across...

Firstly, there’s the epic band, Take This To Heart, who are my favourite right now! They’ve been playing together since late 2007 but switched drummers just last year. The best part? They’re a Sunny Coast band of the best genre!! Their five track demo is up on Facebook, if you have an account, as well as their amazing cover of the Blink-182 song, Stay Together for the Kids. You can find them on their Facebook, YouTube, MySpace and one of my favourite websites ever, Triple J Unearthed. A couple of my friends that have heard and appreciate their talent want to go to one of their gigs sometime next month, but I’ll have to wait and see!

Then, because I’ve been trawling through the Triple J Unearthed website constantly, I came across the punk-pop band, Cupidfalls. They would have to be the best band I’ve found on that website so far. They’ve got some free songs for download on the Triple J site, which you’ll find here - no excuses for not knowing who they are when they come up in conversation sometime soon! I love all their influences- Queen, Story of the Year and FACT. They’ve only been around for about a year, and it shouldn’t be long before they take the punk-pop music scene by storm!!

Last, but certainly not least- look up Meaning In Masterpiece. They’re a Californian band (the only non-Aussie band I’ve mentioned, haha) who’ve been around since mid 2009. If you’re into bands like Never Shout Never, Dashboard Confessional and Kisschasy, you’ll love them. Lots of acoustic guitar and soft male vocals are what set them apart from other bands. They have a six song EP called Someone Else out on iTunes right now, which you should hear, stat!

Well, that’s all, folks! I will try to get back to regular posting as soon as I possibly can, I promise. This week’s crunch week for all my assignments and everything, so it might be another couple of weeks before I can really get back into it.

I love you all, and thanks for supporting my dreams thus far!
