IT'S A HEAVY CROSS TO CARRY ALONG...

It takes two, it's up to 
me and you, to prove it.

"I make trips to the bathroom
yeah my friends all have true grit,
I am speckled like a leopard..."

YOU TAKE THE PIECES OF THE DREAMS THAT YOU HAVE,

COS YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY THEY SEEM TO BE GOING...

Indie Luvah

So yesterday I watched James Franco on Inside the Actor's Studio and I couldn't help but feel nostalgia about the show that was "Freaks and Geeks". It lasted for a short period of time but it was so juvenile and fresh and I guess, in a way, anybody could relate to those kids.

It wasn't the only short-lived series that I watch throughout my tween years but it made me remember many other shows that made me feel the same way this show did.

So here's a remembrance to some of those shows that are no longer airing but still keep a soft spot in my heart.

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.

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.

Just quoting LZ...

"When all are one and one is all.

To be a rock and not to roll..."

Someday, we'll all be gone.
