Some Odd Percussion...

So, this week has been all about drumsdrumsdrums.

By today, it has almost become an obsession I can barely escape. It has come to the point of even interrupting my study sessions. Instead of reading about physical exams, I'm thinking about the sound of some drums in my head.

Yes, I know, it's not healthy for my future patients. But it all started with the arctic monkeys' song "The view from the afternoon." I stumbled across it on youtube, not like I haven't seen it before, but for some reason that percussive little drummer on the video catched my attention. It felt like a shot of epinephrine going right across my chest; like all of the sudden my heart started pumping blood (as if it hadn't before).

And then I stumbled across this kid with some mad skills. Now I'm thinking this was the wrong career to choose if I get so OCD about something else.

I'm just hoping by tomorrow my short-term memory loss works some way of getting the drums out. But I have a feeling this one will last a little bit more that some random flavor of the week.

Check him out,

Old flavors of the month...

Well, apart from trying to save a life or two, I'm obsessively in love with music. It's my boyfriend for life. So here are some tracks that have rocked this month for me.

Caution: Some of this music might not be approved or enjoyable to every other human being but me. I never said I had great taste, I just said i'm obsessed with it. Enjoy.

1. Regina Spektor - "Music Box"
2. Arctic Monkeys - "Leave before the lights come on"
3. Kelly - "Let me borrow that top"
4. Spoon - "Don't you evah"
5. The Last Shadow Puppets - "The Chamber"
6. Lykke li - "Possibility"
7. CSS - "Let's make love and listen to death from above"
8. The XX - "Islands"
9. La tigresa del oriente - "Nuevo Amanecer"
10. Metric - "Gold Gun Girls"

Well, I would've swored there were more tracks. But I always put them on playback. So that's it for this month. If you have any suggestions about upcoming artists lemme know, I'm always interested in old and new flavors.
